Mines of the County

GIGS SSHllellen were ~ IilS SOlutH bSlll
mine this week and also made an ex-
animation Of other mining property in
the county.
George B. Ayers came in from Gold
Road mill Monday last with bar of
bullion, weighing 81, OOO$, the cleanup
for the week of the big mill. Recently
the mill has been outputting more
bullion than formerly, and it is probable
that with the improvements that are to
be put in that plant there will be very
large increase in not only the percent
age of saving, but also in the tonnage
handled. The mine is capable of keep
ing much larger plant in ore and it
is quite certain that it will soon be
taxed to its capacity.
James Dundon came in from Denver
few days ago and reports that R. l..
Dimmick and family are on their way
back by auto. MIR. Dimmiok has orders
to begin development work on the
Frisco group of mines, the principal
work being the sinking Of shaft near
the old store building, where some of
the best ore the property contains is
said to be exposed. The big vein has
cor derable ore that runs above EOS on
the east slope of the hill, and this
could be readily opened and the ore
quarried. With a big milling plant
the Frisco Gold Mines company should
be one of the biggest dividend payers
in the state.
The intermediate shaft on the Ara
bian mine is now close to the 200 level.
1t is the intention of the management
to sink this shaft to depth of at least
300 feet before further prosecuting and
opening up the big vein. At the loo
drifts have been run several hundred
feet each way and great bodies of ore
have been opened up. The vein in
places has been cut 35 feet, showing
milling ore across the whole breadth.
Water is now coming in the shaft and
it is expected that larger machinery
may be needed soon. A line could read
lily be strung from the Ruth mine to
the Arabian and power furnished by
the Kingman plant. The general i'm
preston is that the Arabian is one of
the greatest gold mines on the coast
and the development so far had bears
out this impression.
w. D. Grannis and Porfrio Noli
came up from the Waldron camp last
Wednesday morning and Thursday
afternoon departed to Pasadena and
Los Angeles, where they will confer
with the board of directors of the Ari-
IONA Venture Corporation, which, just
now operating the big group of mines
in Deluge Wash. Mr.. Grannis reports
that the big shaft has reached a depth
of 50 feet and that vein matter has
been cut that looks very good. When
the shaft reaches 100 feet the vein will
be cut and the ore body at that level
opened up. Charles Wagner, who has
been in London placing the proposition
before Investors, will soon be home and
reports that he has interested quite
number of people in the project. The
camp is now in fine shape, the camp
buildings having been erected, the ma
chinery in place and in readiness for an
active development campaign. Mr..
Grannis brought with him from the
property some exceptionally fine speci-
mems of ore.
Dick Banks, Charley Heidenrich, l.
M. George and Kayser brothers have
located number of mining claims in
the WallApai mountains that give
promise of great things. These men
have been prospecting and developing
several groups Of claims. Samples
were taken from one of the veins that
gave results of nearly zoos in gold,
while the others show big milling
values. Messrs. Banks and Heiden-
rich have been doing the prospecting
and mining and the other men have
been looking after the financial end of
the business. Mr.. Banks, who was in
Kingman with samples for assay, this
week, reports that he has located a
vein north of Deluge wash that has a
width of 100 feet for length of 1000
feet, and the whole vein shows minerali-
cation. All along the east side of the
Wallapais can be found immense veins
