MOHAVE EXPERIENCING
GREAT MINING BOOM

KINGMAN. Ariz.. Nov. 10.-All the
mines and prospects under develop
ments in the various mining districts
tributary to Kingman are responding
splcndidly to the individual efforts
OF their owners and the workers en-
ployed. The steady increase in the
number OF mining men arriving here
from all parts OF the globe make it
evident that the Improvement in gen
eral mining conditions throughout Mo
have County is daily attracting more
interest among the investors OF the
country.
The excitement in the Oatman-Gold
Road district, properly known as the
San Francisco district, % miles south
west OF Kingman, is rapidly assuming
the proportions of the greatest boom
in Goldfield, Nevada, about eight years
ago. The scale upon which innumer-
able companies identified with the
district are being financed iisures
deep operations that will unquestion-
ably be productive for rich rewards
and give splendid support to the ex-
cellent results that have for long
time been attained in the Goldroad
Tom Reed and United Eastern mines.
Every foot OF development work &C
complished is improving the physical
conditions OF the United Eastern.
Although explored and proven for A
length OF more than 600 feet in leng-
tn an more than an average OF twenty
feet in width to depth OF sos feet
the magnitude OF the United Eastern
ore body remains yet to be determin-
ed. Thus lar all ore exposed aver
ages around SIS per ton and there
seems TO be no limit 10 the supply
General Manager c. W. Long is Al
present giving his attention to the
800, 465 and SOS levels and on each
the most pleasing conditions prevail
North and south drifts have just been
started from the shaft on the 306-fooi
level, both yielding values ranging
from $50 to $50 dollars per ton. After
being advanced TO the boundary line
from the shaft. distance OF about
375 feet. work in the south drift OF
the 565-foot level has been suspended
The drift and tributary workings have
proven the vein in this section oil
the mine to average in width p feet
and around $35 per ton in value. Or
the same level the north drift ha.
been advanced approximately 80 feet
all in ore. In this direction the ore
body has been shown to have the
average width of p feet and carry
values OF from S35 to $40 per ton
Thirty dollar values are being oh
tanned in the extension OF the NORTH
drift on the 465-foot level, which i:
now more than 500 feet in length.
Values considerably better than thos,
revealed on the 2OO-foot level are
being obtained by the Telluride Min
ing. Milling and Development Com
pany in its operations on the 4O0-foot
level OF its property 1t is the inten
ton of the management to soon be
gin sinking the main shaft from tn,

the vein from the 800 to the 6O0-foo
point. There are excellent showing.
