H. s. Cooper and associates recently
sold w. Z. So Relic OF Los Angeles
and associates a property OF seven
claims which is close neighbor OF
the Oatman Mining and Milling Gold
road. Tom Reed and Bonanza estat-
es. 1t is stated that the new owners
OF the ground intend to develop it
in a thorough and comprehensive
scale They have organized the Dat
man Hills Mining Company for that
purpose.
The Black Range is getting encour-
aging results in it's operations. Condi-
tons prevailing at depth OF 200
feet warrant the belief that the shaft
being sunk will disclose the main ledge
OF the property an assay OF $40 per
ton having just been obtained. When
the snaft has reached the 300-foot
point crosscuts will be extended for
exploratory purposes. In view OF the
fact that surface assays as high as
$1,000 have been found to give
better account OF themselves at depth,
the Black Range is considered by
mining men as property possessing
a great future. The mechanical equip
ment has just been improved by the
installation OF a five-drill air COM
pressor, two machine drills and other
accessories. The compressor IS OF
sufficient capacity TO permit of air

Excellent Roadway is being made
in sinking operations on the Big Jim
property The shaft is now down
more than 800 feet and it revealing
highly interesting conditions.
Stringers OF quartz OF encourag-
ing value are being disclosed in
drifting operations on the 200-foot lev
cl OF the Ivanhoe The management
is pushing the exploratory work with
all possible vigor.
Unless present plans go awry, op-
erations upon an extensive scale will
soon be under way at the property

embracing. in all, "A claims. Former
owners. operating in primitive fash
ion. explored the numerous lodges
traversing the property sufficiently to
place in sight large tonnage OF ore
averaging around 81 per ton. The
outcroppings of the ledge present to
view some OF the largest bodies OF
mineral-bearing quartz to be found
/ in northwestern Arizona.
The management OF the Arizona
/ Ttllurium Mines Company is obtain
ing excellent results in the operation
/ OF its property in the Wallapai noun
tains, fifteen miles east OF Kingman.
/ The new main working shaft is now
down more than fifty feet and the
bottom, with only the hanging wall
exposed, shows nine feet OF ore of l
shipping grade Some OF the ore
/ being extracted carries exceedingly
high values. 1t is the intention OF
General Manager w L. Mackay to
soon extend crosscuts from the shaft
/ to the footwall OF the vein. There is
every reason to believe that such work
will be attended by highly crafty
ing results.
/ Following a recent visit to its prop
erty, the Golden Star mine, in Mineral
Park, twenty miles north OF King
man, and which lies in close prox-
unity to the Golconda, Golconda Ex-
tension and Tennessee mines. R. L.
Colburn, prominent mining man and
broker OF San Francisco and one OF
the pioneer operators OF Goldfield,
Nevada, made deal with the officials
OF the Golden Star Mining and Re
duction Company, whereby he and
eastern associates will henceforth be
actively connected with the corpora
ton. Developed to total depth OF
III feet by former operators and cred
tied with past production in excess
OF $4,000 above the l00-foot level,
the Golconda Extension can reason
ably be expected to give splendid
account OF itself in the extensive cam
paign OF development work that has
been mapped out by the management.
/ Material results are being obtained
by o. T. James in the operation, under
bond, of the Orphan mine at Secret
Pass, about twenty miles west of
/ Kingman. He recently made a second
shipment. weighing O. ounces and
valued at IA dollars per ton. The bar
! shipped was the result OF run of 100
hours in a Tetrault two-stamp mill
