Mines of the County

We are informed that experiments with the ores fro n the property under operation by J. Pruitt has developed a method that is proving satisfactory, the recovery being very high. Assays from the tailings show from one dol lar to one and oue-balf dollars to the Ion, the heads running about 1908 10 the ton in gold. Mr. Fruit informs us that the vein now has width of four feet and the extraction runs to six tons daily. A more complete plant will probably be put in soon. The mines are situated about six miles south of town.
 Walter Meyers was in Kingman yes terday from the camp at the head of Round Valley wash, where he and Harry Mehatfy have been connecting tunnel with the old shaft on the Garnier property. They report that the showing of ore in the mine is good and that about the first of June Mr. Garuier and associates are to arrive in Kingman and make arrangements for the installation of milling plant. The ore carries some lead. the other values being Tn gold and silver. About 200 feet of the vein will be opened by the raise, which will allow of the stop. ing of several hundred tons of ship pable ore.
 The Tom Reed Gold Mines company has been driving crosscut to the wall from the drift on the $50 foot level and It is reported from that place that a great body of ore has been cut. The values found in the ore body above apparently comes down to the 1000 level of that wonderful property. This ore was cut in the wipze, the company following the ore down through the various levels to the present depth by sinking winzes on the ore body and afterward connecting up with the main working shaft. The mine has won- derful showing. not only in the deep levels, but also in the north and south end properties. There is no doubt of the value of this great property, when it is realized that with about twenty stamps dropping daily the mill has been averaging 100, 000S monthly, about 75 per cent of which is net to the stockholders.
 l. D. l.. Williams came to Kngman last Tuesday from Los Angeles and ln company of $. R. Pengrove went out to the Basndary Cone mine Mr. Pen grove is well known mining engin- ger and will remain at the mine some time tracing out the fault planes of that property. At the present tune the management has the faults pretty well mapped, but it is thought that a well directed plating of the property will aId greatly in further develop. ment, and greatly reduce the cost of exploration. The Boundary Cone is now in fine shape, having big ore bod. ies opened on each level to the 800 and 1t is the intention to open it to the D level as soon as the present engineer ing work is completed. Mr. Williams departed Wednesday evening to Los Angeles. but will return in about ten days to map out the future work
 J. E. White, suDerintendent of the Yucca Mining company, cane up from the San Francisco mine several days ago, He reports that work is pro. gressing on the property and that ex- celleut results are being obtained During the past several months he has been tracing out the fault planes of the property and now believes that he will be able to open the ore bodies with little extra work. On the zoo an ore body four feet wide has been opened in d raise, he average value of which is 45S Thi, raise is being continued to the 600, where again the fault has been traced and where good ore was found. Drifting to the north on tine zoo has opened body of high grade ore on which the drift will be continued On the 600 the crosscut to the northwest has opened another vein p feet in that shows three feet of ore averaging 70&. It is the opinion that the ore body now continues from the zoo to the surface. where immensely rich ore was found in the early life of ;,
