COMBINATION OF
 PROPERTY UNLIKELY

I lHU1 lnlI UNllhllII Continued from page mining sec.) ment work. including the sinking of a shaft, at least 200 feet in depth. at the junction of two lodges, both of which give promising surface values. The company has just completed 400 feet of road building.
 The Oatman North Star Mines com pany, which owns group of IT claims adjoining on the north the Gold Range, is making good headway in sinking a main working shaft on it's Rico Aspen claim. It will be sent down to a depth of 400 feet on the vein which on surface shows great width and yields encouraging assays.
 The Oatman Crescent will soon start 40O-foot crosscut tunnel on it's property of 19 claims which will in- tersect the main vein at a vertical depth of 300 feet. The ledge has an average width on the surface of 24 feet. Samples taken at short interv. als for length of 800 feet and a width of feet recently give a return of $6.13 per ton.
 A force of 10 men is clearing a site for the mechanical equipment at the Gilt Edge. Upon the installation of the outfit, which will include a 25- horsepower gasoline hoist and com pressor of large capacity. soon to ar rive. now 5O0-foot Compartment shaft will be started on No. l vein.
 The north crosscut recently started on the 250-foot level of the Carter has been advanced about 25 feet and in that distance has exposed Is feet of quartz and vein matter that recently yielded assays ranging from SIP to $40 per ton. The recently received 2-drill compressor will be completely installed in the next few days.
 WaIIapai District.
 The old camp of Chloride in the Wallapai district, 2S miles north of Kingman, is showing in no uncertain way the effect of the renewed and in- creasing interest of the public in the great mineral possibilities of Mohave county and it's future is more promis- ing at present than ever before. In addition to the increased activity at the Tennessee mine, long a steady and heavy producer of zinc and lead ores and which is owned by the United States Smelling. Refining and Mining company, excellent results are being accomplished in the development of other properties and new work is be- ing inaugurated on ground that has lain idle for many years.
 Working a force of approximately 100 miners, the Tennessee has sent for the last two years an average of 150 tons of ore daily to the Needles, Calif.. plant of the company, where it is concentrated and the product ship ped to the Bartcille. Okla. smelter of the same concern. At present operations are being vigorously pro- secuted on the 400. 800 and 1170-foot levels of the mine. on which the main ore body shows an average width of 12 feet, all of which is of shipping grade. Sixteen feet of the best ore ever extracted from the property is being mined on the 1170-foot level, which is reached by way of 270-foot the 900-foot level 500 feet from the main shaft. From the winze bottom south drift has been extended thus far 200 feet in the ore body. A north drift has been started recentyl to ex- plore the ore shoot in that direction. In addition to the extraction or ore, the management is giving attention to the sinking of the main shaft from the 1900 to the 1600-foot point, in which work has been reached in the | shaft and a station at that depth Is i being cut. Upon its completion. crosscut east will be extended to the vein, distance of approximately 200 feet. and from it will be advanced a | north drift to get under the winze referred to- After the objective | point has been gained on the. 1400- | foot level, the shaft will be continued | down to the 1600-foot point for the further development of the ore body |

Merrill of Los Angeles and asso- ciates have taken over the Schuykill | mine. adjoining the Tennessee on the north. and are making preparations | to resume it's operation.
