Mohave County miner., 1914-12-19

put to work on the property to develop the high grade streaks of ore that have been exposed by the former work.
 w. E. Little went out to Cerbat this morning to get his camp in shape to begin the erection of hoisting plant on the Gold Bar group of mines, on which he is to sink shaft to depth of several hundred feet. The shaft now stands at depth of 100 feet.
 Charles Gracey, who is the largest owner in the Klondike Mining company, has been in Kingman the past week, getting things in shape to carry on development work on the Klondike mines, west of Chloride. These prop critics are among the best looking gold propositions in the Black Canyon range.
 Frank O'Dea was in Kingman few days ago from Todd Basin. It is prob able that he will go out to the Pilgrim mine to assist his brother in the con- tract work on that property. MT. O'Dea has been mining in this county the past twenty years and has some ex- cellent mining property in the Todd Basin section.
 The work of sinking another lift on the old Blackberry mine is now under way. The shaft cut the vein at point at the lower workings of the property and the pumps have drained the old stopes so that exploration may now be made of that part of the mine. It is the general belief that the mine will show great ore bodies below the pres ent depth. It is probable that the shaft will continue it's perpendicular course and a crosscut run to the vein at the 800 level.
 Walter Myers was in Kingman this week and exhibited samples of ore from four foot vein in the Grant and Me Geary wash section, upon which he has been at work some time. He says that the ore runs small percentage in cop- per, fifteen per cent zinc, 94 per cent lead and about 12$ in gold and silver. With proper facilities for the handling of this class of ore the property ought to be one of the big producers of the Wallapai mountain. A tunnel has been run on the property to cut the vein at | at depth of about 125 feet.
 Report has it that the Clark people are to soon begin active development of the Copper Giant mine and shipments will be made to the shelter. Owing to the copper depression the company closed down work on the mine, but now that copper is again above thirteen cents the company can ship the ore to the smelter at a profit. The average ore from the mine runs about four per cent copper and about eight dollars in gold and silver. As the mine is but four miles from the main line of the Santa Fe railroad and an all down hill haul the expense of putting it on the cars will be light. A large amount of ore was shipped from the mine to the Verde shelter to try it out.
 Henry Strawbelle is doing the assess ment work sn the Copper Apex mine, owned by Smith X Sawyer. The prop erty is situated in Bismarck Canyon, east of Mineral Park, and is one of the largest veins bearing mineral in the county. In the canyon an adit drift has been run in about thirty feet on fine streak of heavy galena and car bonate ore, assays from which gave re- suits of A per cent lead, and about l2S in gold and silver. Farther up on the mountain side the vein shows copper and gold values, but at that point is broken to some extent. Between walls is nearly four hundred feet of vein mat ter, much of it carrying values. Ad- joining this claim on the east is the J. F. T., owned by the same parties and Gaddis X Perry company. This shows copper in all parts of the out crop. Farther down the mountain side. in 1XL Canyon are the properties of w. A. Studley. These claims carry gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc val IeS and arc immense in c;,o Con
