Mohave County miner., 1915-06-19

J. c. Denton and wife, of Oatman, were in from that live camp few days ago. MT. Denton is superintendent of the United Western and other mines in the big gold camp and is getting things shaped up for an active campaign of development.
 The Golden Gem mill is about ready to go into commission, the repairs having been made to the plant and the pumps in the mine being overhauled and made workable. The people in charge of the property expect to do considerable work on the Gem and other claims owned by the old company.
 Letters received by interested par ties from JudgeE. M. Ross conveys the information that the Leland and Mitch ell property has been financed and that work will soon be started on the pro- jected shaft below the old works. A well known mining engineer inspected
 
 there IS every evidence of the mine having great ore body below the old works.
 William Esser and Arthur Van Zant, who nave been at work on their Cres- cent property, situated about SIX miles south of Oatman, have opened four feet of 25$ ore in a crosscut. The walls nave not yet been encountered Tn the vein and no conclusion has been arrived at as to the width of the ledge. Many people have gone to the mlne from Oatman and the strike is sad to have caused considerable excitement.
 A. M. McDuffee, of Chloride, came in from that camp last week and met an old partner on west bound train and accompanied him as far as Needles. He returned from Needles by way of Topock and Oatman, looking over that big gold camp and glvlng It his stamp of approval. MT. McDutfee has been in all the big gold camps of the country, especially in Cripple Creek, and believes that the Oatman section is bound to be- come one of the greatest camps in the United States.
 L. l.. Stevens, who is managing the tungsten mines, recently purchased by himself and associates, has been busily employed the past ten days getting supplies and machinery forwarded to the property. A pipe line is being put in to bring water into the mines, where a milling plant is to be erected soon. The mine is said to have an immense tonnage of good grade tungsten ore in sight and with proper milling facilities should soon be in the producing class.
 A. B. Rogers, one of the best known mining men of the Aspen, Colorado, J country, has taken over the group of mines owned by J. Harrison and A. B. ! McDugall, contiguous to the Boulevard l mine, in the Union Pass section. MT. Rogers went out to the mines last Sun ! day with R. L. Dimmick and already has men at work on the properties. ! A hoisting plant is to be put in and the [ work of exploitation rushed as fast as possible. The claims have fine show ing of ore, some of the streaks in the veins running very high in gold.
 Owing to the bad condition of the old | Flores mill the Anozira Mines company will soon have a new milling plant under way for the purpose of handling ores from the big vein on the Campbell property. Water from the Flores will | be used for milling purposes and when the mine is pumped out the work of ex- ploring the property will be undertaken. There is not the least doubt of the making good of the Flores and the sooner work in the lower levels is under way the sooner will that big gold mine commence shipping bullion.
