Mohave County miner., 1914-08-08

plant on the GARNER property, at wal
lapai mountain, will soon be in commits
sion.
O. F. Kuencer is now at the Golden
Gem mine, Cerbat, looking after the
unwatering Of that property.
Gene Brown, of Brownsville, was in
Kingman yesterday, coming down with
his auto to get some necessary repairs.
He reports that mining is looking up
in that section of the county and that
before winter comes on there will be
large forces of men extracting ore from
many of the mines.
Drifting is now being carried on the
$50 level of the Copper Giant mine. 1t
is reported that the mine is now show
ing more than ESQ, COOS, and that the
openings on the new level is sure to add
greatly to this valuation. The mine is
in one of the most accessible parts Of
the county, being but four miles from
railroad.
Jack Cornelius, who has charge Of
development at Copper Canyon, re-
ports that the drift is now in six feet
of solid ore and that the vein shows
widening at the angle of twenty de-
grees. The breast Of the drift is now
under a point where the vein shows
width of forty feet. Machine drill is
now in use and big progress is being
made.
Qualey Brothers are still negotiating
for the Walkover mine and tits thought
that some agre ment will he entered
into before the end of this week. Qua
legs are among the best mining men of
the State and we hope they will get
this property, as it has the earmarks Of
a great mine. The gentlemen have
large mining interests in Mexico that
have been tied up by the war, hut
which they soon expect to have in
operation.
At about $50 the old blackberry shaft
has struck great body of water that
is taxing the capacity of the pumps and
buckets. 1t is pre-, ned thlt the big
bodies of water in the old workings of
the mine are being drained and that as
soon as the level has been reduced sink
ing will again be resumed. The
draining Of The nine in this manner is
far better than to get big thrush Of
water from the old shaft, which would
put the new shaft out of commission
for long time.
Peter Gallery phoned in from Todd
Basin Tuesday last that he had opened
fine body of ore in his property at
Layne Springs. The mine was recently
under bond to Braley and Suffer, but
the ore was too low to cover profit over
mining and treatment. Since they
gave up the bond MIR. Gallery has been
running ahead and drove into a splen-
did body of pay ore. On the surface
this vein carried splendid ore, but when
it went into the sulphide it became low
in grade and the old owners gave it up.
The tunnel is now quite distance be-
low the change and it would not be sur
prising if permanent body Of pay ore
was not in view,
William O,Dea was in town last
Wednesday from Todd Basin attending
to business affairs. He reports
engineers at work sampling the Pill
grim group of mines, of which he is
the owner. George Roper, who made
the preliminary examination of the
property, went into Los Angeles Mon
day last and will return in few days.
Apparently the mines look good to
these people or they would not return
for another examination. The origi-
nal Pilgrim property shows good ore
bodies and the recent strike of rich ore
in the crOsscut on the 400 level would
indicate that it would become a big
producer.
Report comes from the Waldron
mines Of the Arizona Venture Corpora
ton that in the crosscut to the vein
from the 100 level splendid vein of
lead bearing ore has been cut. Twenty
four sacks of this ore has been sacked
up on the dump. 1t is thought that
