Mines of the County

MT. Finlay, who has been looking over the country in and around Cop perville and Copper Canyon, returned to Kingman last night. He believes the country to be one of the best mineralized sections in the county.
 D. R. Muir and N. J. Churchill. of the Needles Mining X Smelling con- pany, paid Stockton Hill visit few days ago to look over the property of the company. It is the general opinion that the company will soon resume work on these mines, the work on the Tennessee having proven that mines do go down and that the best part of them is below the water level.
 l. Hoffman has gone to the mines at Copperville, where he will get things in shape to sink below the present level The shaft will be driven to the 800 level as fast as men and money can do the work. The comDany is fast getting things in shape for an active campaign, and expect to open one of the greatest mines in the state. Re- cent experiments with the dry concen- trator nave so impressed the manage ment that it Is possible that these ma chimes and rolls will be added to the big mill. Other improvements are under consideration.
 A report cones from Oatman that in crosscutting into the footwall. on the 800 level of the Tom Reed, body of ore that gave assays of over S0O$ to the ton was encountered. It is under- stood that the company had known for some time that this ore was in the footwall, but owing to the fact that plenty of ore in the main vein was available for milling purposes no ef- fort was made to open it up. While many stringers of this rich ore have been cut in this property it is under- stood that this new vein is not only rich, but the ore body is as great as that found on the same level in the old workings. Every day goes to prove that the Tom Reed is one of the great big gold properties of the United States.
 George w. Long. president of the United Eastern Mining company, came in from Phenix, where he had been before the Corporation Commission and obtained permit to dispose of 30O.O0OS worth of the shares of the corporation for development purposes. MT. Long and associates have located several mining claims near the Tom Reed and also took options on the holdings of Joe Parizzo and Jimmy Mcconnell, lying due north of the Tom Reed. and abuting on the side line of that property. It is the general opinion that this property, known as the Tom Reel Extension, has the Tom Reed vein, and the work so far done on it would indicate that it has vein of great worth. While only small amount of work has been done on the mine it shows up splendid ore. of the same general character of the rich ore body of the Tom Reed. w. K. Ride. nour and others are associated With MT. Long In the property.
 The compressor and engine for the Cooper Canyon mines are now close to the top of the main divide between Copper and Crow canyons and the work of getting it over to the mines will be accomplished this week. There is no road between the two places and the heavy machines have to be snaked over the rough country. No effort is to be made in road build. ing until the mines have been develop. ed to condition that will warrant the expenditure, and then only when the shipment of ore will come in for consideration. Every effort is to be made to develop the property and put it on a shipping basis The adit drift is now in over 200 feet. and shows a back of ore the entire distarce. The breast of the drift is about POO feet be. low the surface. Good shipping ore has been developed, but it is the big ore bodies that are being looked after.
