Mines of the County

bar of bullion weighing 2O,OOOS, the cleanup for the past week.
 w. H. Smith looked over his mining interests in the Stockton Hill section this week. He has some exceptionally good property and expects to do a large amount of work this year. The ores run well in gold and silver and the veins show good width,
 Albert Roberts, mining engineer of Los Angeles, made an examination of the Cyclopic mines, in Gold Basin, this week. s. c. Bagg has been op- erating the mines the past two or three years and has them in a good stage stage of development.
 James Duudon. who has been at work on the old Ingebretsen claim, in Union Basin, came to town few days ago with a shipment of ore that is expected to net big money. Sample of the shipment gave result of COOS gold to the ton. Some years ago the old owner of the property took specl- men ore from the claim that was fully one.half gold. It is expected that more development work would make the property good producer.
 It is understood that the Arizona Southwestern Copper company is to sink it's main shaft at least 200 feet deeper. The vein is one of the big gest mineralized veins of that section and a great body of ore should be opened in the ground below the water level. At the present level the show. ing of ore is good although it lies close under the carbonate zone. With added depth the company will have enough ground to keep the big mill working several years,
 c. V. Hopkins and Thomas Taylor, through K,ngman early this week on their way to the Red Gap mine, where they made an examination of that property. The mine carries good values in gold and is of the same gen. eral character as that of the Frisco Gold mines. It is to be expected that if the mines are taken over by this big corporation there will be some- thing doing in that section of the riv- CT range shortly
 Four men are now employed on the Whale group of mines, in Copper Canyon. Two adlt drifts are being run on the mines, one on the Copper Wonder and the other on the Whale. In both places ores show big values in copper, carrying some moly bdenite. It is expected that the new dry con- centrator will be in operation on the mines by the first of March, the ma chine being shipped from Los Angeles on the 20th of this month. The lessees of the property are sangune of the success of the machine on this class of ores.
 Last Saturday the Tom Reed ship ped their regular monthly cleanup of bullion. the four bars weighing lOO,- OO0S. This looked mighty good to the boys who have been watching these big bars coming in regularly from that property the past four years, and especially do the dividends have the faculty of growing larger and better looking to the shareholders as the years roll on. The past year showed net dividends of over sixty six per cent, and the reserve fund has grown to nearly 300,000S. The company has mine reserves that will maintain the high average production and dividends for the next three years, that amount of ore now being broken in the mlns stopes. No other mine on the coast could discontinue development six months without draining their re. sources, while the Tom Reed would not have to touch on the ucbroken re- serves for years. The broken ore is of the same genial quality of that milled during the year.
