Mohave County miner., 1914-10-17


opened up five feet of ore in the George
Washington which averages more thar
2OS per ton in gold.
Thomas Graves, an old timer in Mo-
have and who is known in every camp
in Northern Arizona, was in Kingmar
Wednesday,
At the Distaff, in the Chloride field,
John Campbell is working on two feet
of high grade in the slopes on the $50
level. This ore is easily worth 1000
ounces in silver. y
F. S. Wilhelm, one of Mohave coun-
tvs most aggressive operators, and
who is interested in the Eclipse, in Sec
ret Pass among other properties, was
in Kingman Wednesday.
John and Lyon Kay, at Mineral Park,
are doing some excellent development
work on their property. There is a
strong vein carrying values from POS to
40$ and this vein seems to get much
wider as depth is attained. On the
Golden Hammer there is a feet of ore
which averages As in gold, per cent
copper and 100 ozs. in silver.
George Beebe, in the Chloride field,
has been doing some development on
the Relief and the result is most graft
flying for he has uncovered large body
of ore which carries values of 60 per
cent copper and 80 ounces in silver.
AS there is only one wall in sight the
indications are very favorable for an
enormous shoot of very high grade ma
terial.
H. L. McCarn, manager of the Rain
bow, in the Chloride district, has ore
which carries gold values of five ounces
in the face of the 500-foot drift. This
drift is being advanced to cut a rich
shoot at great depth under Rainbow
Peak. At the surface this shoot was
very rich, and doubtless when cut will
be very much better grade for the ore
had every appearance of being richer
as depth was attained.
The Southwest Turquoise company,
w. j. Tarr manager, is a steady pro-
Queer of semi precious stones. Last
year this property produced about 5000
pounds and up to date the production
has been from Is, 900 to 10000 pounds.
The amount taken out is really govern
ed by the demand. Some of this ma
terial Is the very best grade on the
market.
M. N. Honeywell, one of the most
favorably known mining men in this
section, informs us that very rich
strike was recently made in a property
owned by John Boyle and j. P. Ryan,
at Cerbat. There is feet of ore now
uncovered and carries sos per ton in
goll. When prospected there is a
string of gold two or three inches long
in pan of dirt
Elmer Welch and Andrew Frazier
have an option on the great Grand Can
yon Copper mine, and have a car load
of very rich material ready for ship
ment. This ore will average 72 per
cent copper. The development work
consists of shaft 500 feet deep and a
crosscut. The vein in the crosscutt is
Is inches wide. The low grade ore
goes rs to 80 per cent copper. This is
the richest copper mine ever found in
the world and is owned by w. B.
Ridenour There is big deal in sight
for this property.
Northwest of Mcguire station there
is very promising group of six claims
which for the amount of development,
have the best showing in Mohave county.
And while the deepest work is 4O-foot
shaft there is strongly defined vein of
free milling ore that shows much free
gold in the paintings. The vein is from
six to seven feet wide and carries an
average gold content of 8$ at the sur
face. This. group is owned by Philip
Smith, o. d. M. Gaddis, A. H. Smith
and J. E. Perry. Some Eastern people
have recently looked over the property
and no doubt will take it over.
