Mohave County miner., 1914-04-04

a visit to the Pilgrim mines this week, where they made an examination of the property. It IS said that this mine is showing a splendid body of ore.
 Chris Vogt came in from Gold Butte, Nevada, last Thursday and will soon go out to his mining property in Wauba Yuma district. Mr. Vogt sold his range and cattle, in the Virgin mountains. to J. l.. Nelson, of Peach Springs. and will hereafter devote his time and energy to mining. He has one of the best mining properties in to do great things with it. Mr. Nel- son, whose permit to range cattle on the Wallapai reservation is expired, will drive all his stock to the new range, where he will make his per- manert home. The Gold Butte range is one of the best on the north side of the river and will give the young cattleman room to expand.
 John Boyle and family were King man visitors thls week, coming in from the Golconda mine. He reports that the shaft has been sunk below the sixth level and is now in splendid ore Sinking will be continued to the 7th level, where a station will be cut and drifts carried out into the big ore bodies. On the 9th level the drifts have been run into the ore and stopes will soon be opened. The ore on this level is richer in gold and silver ,han that found on the levels above, which is giving much sweetening to the ore shipments. Better zinc ore. of course, could not be found anywhere than on the levels above, so it will not be ex- pectsd to find a richer grade of that metal anywhere in the mine. A new roughing jig has been put in the mill, which has greatly increased the ca capity of the plant. This one jig is capable of handling fifty tons of ore daily, this coming from the shaft, drifts and dumps.
 Report from the Hidden Treasure mine, at Cedar, owned by Matthew Carr, is to the effect that in Going the assessment work in the bottom of an eighty foot shaft, four foot body of ore averaging better than 100 ounces silver was opened. Some of the ore taken from the shaft gave assays of over 1, 100 ounces silver to the ton. The mlne is one of the old properties of Cedar camp and is credited with the production of some very good ore. Above the eighty foot the ore petered out and it is now believed that a big body of the high grade will now be opened. Mr. Carr has held the mine a numb Der of years and has shown his faith in the district by spending thirty years of his life developing it's mines It is to be hoped that he has at last found winner and that the property will return him enough to make the balance of his days free from financial cares.
 J. w. Fettes visited the Copper Can yon mines this week and reports that Supt Jacobson is getting his plant in shape to make a big production of cop- per concentrates. In the breast of the drift fine showing native copper ore is being opened. The drift has been driven on small streak between the big vein and the country, it being done to avoid the hard quartz of the vein filling, although this streak has become quite hard and only small amount of ore showing. At the pres snJ time it looks as though this part of the big vein would open out beyond the width of the drift. A compressor will soon be put in ana with machine drills the drift will be driven on the vein to the south, and at a point about 300 feet from the adit a working shaft will be opened to the surface. This will take the working out of the can yon and avoid DO sible loss from flood waters. So far the little concentrator has demonstrated it's worth and lary- CT machine will now be put in. With a com bined dry and wet process 1t is believed that better than eighty per cent extraction will be made on the copper content.
