Mohave County miner., 1914-07-18
Mines of the County

was brought in from Goldroad this week. We understand that it is the intention of the company to remodel the big mill so that greater tonnage of ore can be handled with minimum of cost.
 A large amount of timber has ar rived at Yucca to be hauled out to the mines at Copperville, where it will be used in timbering up the shaft. It is the intention to sink the shaft to a depth of at least 800 feet as soon as possible.
 J. F. Miller, owner Of some rich cop per-molybdenite property in Deluge Wash, was in Kingman yesterday to attend to business affairs. He reports that this section of the country is look ing up and that the mines are proving better and better with depth.
 w. J. Wiley, of Berkely, who has been here the past week or two look ing after mining affairs, has returned home, but will be here shortly to stay. He has relocated some of his old claims and is doing the work on them. One of the claims is at Mineral Park and the other is near the old Sheeptrail, in the Union Pass section.
 The Arabian mines are said to have opened some splendid ore bodies in the new work on that property. The ore will all stand milling, some of it being very high grade. The veins opened in all the crosscuts show great width and the indications are that this will be one of the largest milling properties in the county.
 E. B. Van Deman came in from the Ruth mine, in Silver Creek, yesterday and is looking after business in town. He reports that work will soon be under way at the mine and that the property will be put in shape to produce. The Ruth has some excellent ore bodies that would pay well in mill, and as soon as stopes have been opened it is probable that the mill will be put to work.
 Ore is being hauled to the railroad from the Ridenour mine, in the Grand Canyon country, where four leasers nave been at work the past five months. The men report the opening of one of the finest bodies of ore ever found in that rich old copper property. At the present time about forty tons are on the dump ready for shipment, while several hundred tons have been opened in the mine.
 w. H. Smith, who has looked over the new gold strike at Quartzite, in- forms us that the gold is found in the schist, and in combination with copper. Some of the ore is free of copper, but the best pay carries about one per cent of the red metal. It is his opinion that the gold found in the placers of Quart zite has been eroded from the schist deposits. These schist belts are about forty feet across, but have nothing like vein formation. Thousands of acres of country in the Quartzite section is cov- cred with gold bearing gravel, much of it reaching to the Colorado river.
 On the 900 level of the Tom Reed, report has it, the ore body in the drift is the richest ever opened in the prop erty, an average assay across the face giving better than 800$ gold to the ton. On this level the ore every where opened is far richer than any other part of the mine. The recent opening up of another vein on the 500 level indicates that this same vein on the 800 would make the property one of the greatest in the state. The bull lion output this month is expected to reach better than 15O, OOO$. Only once in the history of the mine has the out. put reached this mark, but it dropped off to 100, ,OO0$ again. It is probable that the output will be continued above OO,OO0$ the balance of the year anG may reach 200, OOO$. With a twenty. stamp mill in operation this is showing out the gold as no other mill has evel done before.
