Mohave County miner., 1915-01-23
Chamber of Commerce.

Last Saturday evening large num- Der of the business men of Kingman assembled in the Commercial hotel and proceeded to the organization of a Chamber of Commerce. Judge Carl G. Krook was elected chairman, J E. Perry secretary, and H. H. Watkins treasurer. A finance committee com posed of I. M. George, Allen E. Ware, H. H. Watkins and J. E. Perry was appointed to ascertain what amount of funds could be had to keep the organi- zation alive until sufficient membership was had to supply the needs of the Chamber. Tuesday night the com mittee reported to the board of direc- tors that they had secured sufficient funds for the purpose.
 The Chamber of Commerce starts out with directorate of eighteen members, but so far no charter list has been pre- pared, although it is now under con- sideration. It is expected that every form of business will be represented in the association and that splendid work will be obtained from it. The next meeting of the chamber will be at the rooms donated by l. M. George, in the George building, Tuesday evening, January 26. A full attendance of those in sympathy with the movement is re- quested
 Report comes to Kingmar that the United Eastern Mining company has struck the vein on the 300 level, but we are unable to learn the value of the ore. Those who have seen the ore state that it is similar to the rich ore of the Tom Reed and it is to be hoped that this is correct. This company has been conservatively at work the past six months and has accomplished big things. With the striking of good ore at this level the company will be put in position to command all the capital necessary to carry on big develop ment campaign.
 Stene Brothers, of McCracken, were in Kingman last Wednesday, returning the same day to their camp. They re- port that during the past year they did large amount of work on their min ing property to the west and south of the old McCracken and have opened up splendid body of ore. Two tunnels have been driven into the mountain, cutting the big veins and on these drifts have been run some distance. At the present time they are working on a big body of ore that will pay to ship as it is broken down. R. M. Stene has been working on the proposition num- Der of years and has all faith in the future of the mines and that section of Mohave county. He has prepared map of the county taking in the Walla- pal and outlying ranges that shows re- markable engineering as well as draughting skill.
 Stanley c. Bagg came in from the Cyclopic mine yesterday to attend to business matters in town. He reports that he has drifted along the contact on the mine 200 feet and has opened a wonderful body of lead carbonates, carrying good gold values. It is his intention to sink on this ore body to ascertain whether it will go down or not. So far the indication is that the ore body will go down, as it is lying on the granite, while heretofore the old ore bodies were in large broken masses. It is the tracing out of this ore body that has required time and work, and although immense bodies of good grade milling gold ore were found to depth of 40 feet, it was only few months ago that the wall was found, along which is now being obtained some of the best ore ever taken from mine in the dis trict. The new ore body is something out of the ordinary, as but little car bonate ore has been found in that dis trict.
