KINGMAN, Ariz., Dec 1S.-AU lat
eral work in the United Eastern mine
at Oatman has been stopped and the
management is now giving its atten-
tion to sinking the old vertical shaft
from the sos to the 765foot level and
the new main working shaft which
will be sent down to a depth of at
least 600 feet in order to handle the
vast ore bodies already developed on
/ the various levels of the former i'm
more economical manner and eX-
/ tensiye scale than is possible under
present conditions. Sinking in the
/ old shaft was resumed a few days
ago with three shifts Of miners ana
machine drills. The new shaft-three
| compartment is size-is now down
more then 80 feet and a windlass Is
| being used in hoist.nE the muck.
When a depth of so feet is attained,
the new bore win be equipped with
! 75-horsepower double-drum electric
hoist and a 1000 cubic air compressor.
! The Green Quartz Mining company.
new corporation organized by the
Long and McIyer interests, is making
good headway in its preparations for
an extensive campaign of develop
ment work on its property, formerly
known as the Armn group. The one
and a half compartment shaft win be
sent down to a depth Of 400 feet, IS
now nearly 20 feet deep. A % horse
power gasoline hoist and 200 foot com
pressor viii soon be installed to facili-
tate operations. The company is an
Arizona corporation, organized for
100000 shares of the par value of
10 cents each. The officers are Pre-
sident, c. w. Long, vice-president, w.
k Ridenour, secretary-treasurer, J. L.
| McIyer.
The Boundary Cone continues to
give a splendid account of itself On
the 5O0-foot level, a drift has been eX-
tended approximately 45O feet, OF
which the last 80 feet has exposed AZ
feet of ore ranging in value from SIS
to $25 per ton. The ore body has a
total width of about u feet. A 40
horsepower gasoline hoist and a 300
cubic foot compressor will soon be
installed as surface Improvements and
TO permit of more extensive opera
tions.
Having installed a 300 cubic foot air
compressor and three jackhommer
drills, the Lacy Boy management is
rapidly getting in shape for extensive
operations A 40 horsepower gasoline
hoist viii arrive on the ground within
the next ten days No time will be
lost in it's installation as the concrete
foundation for it has already been laid,
the main shaft upon which a wind
lass is at present being used, measures
about 40 feet in depth.
A 25-foot sump below the 4OOtoot
point and large station at that level
in the main shaft on the Big Jim were
completed recently and lateral opera
tions are now in fun swing. The body
of quartz revealed about ten days ago
in starting the south crosscut on the
level named proved to be 312 feet in
width and gave assays ranging from
1851 to $50 per ton, according to
, General Superintendent Keating. Since
r ! prosecuting south was resumed other
stringers of quartz Of varying width
and values have been intersected. All
2 are believed TO be parallel veins to
/ or branches of the main ledge.
