JAMISON COMPANY TO
INSTALL MACHINERY

Jim Dover, who has been with the
Tom Reed company the past several
years, has taken the position of sup
intendent of the Jamison Mines COM
pany, now operating the Jamison and
Strawbell properties at Layne Springs.
Mr.. Dover has mapped out a large
amount of new work, and expects to
add largely to his crew of miners. A
25 horsepower gasoline hoist, 300 Gu
bic foot compressor and power drills
are to be installed at once, and a big
campaign of development inaugurated.
The Jamison property is one of the
best in the Layne Springs section, and
every foot of development has brought
to light better bodies of ore. In this
mine the ore now being developed is
shippable with little asserting, while
in the other properties there is much
milling ore opened up.

DENY PRO-GERMAN
TALK IN SCHOOLS

A rumor that became current on the
streets the past week that a teacher in
the Kingman public schools had been
carrying on a pro-German propaganda
is strenuously denied by the teachers.
The fact that all the teachers have
been active in teaching the patriotic
songs of the republic in the schools
would indicate that every one of the
lady teachers are intensely loyal to the
Grand Old Flag, and in justice to
them the Daily Miner makes this
statement.
If there is any place that loyalty
to American institutions should be
taught it is in the public schools, and
the Daily Miner believes thoroughly
in the good men and women at the
head of the local institutions of learn
ing and in their patriotism.

TUCKAHOE To
Be OPERATED
ON BIG SCALE

E. J. Carter, of Telluride, Colorado,
has taken over the famous old Tuck
ahoe mine, just below the Diana work
ings of Col. George F. Beveridge on
the flats west Of town, and is engaged
in preparing ground for the installa-
ton of machinery to begin active oper-
ations.
The Tuckahoe was taken over by
Mr.. Carter under lease and bond cover
ing an extended period. The mine is
owned by the John Barry estate.
The Tuekahoe has been mine from
which thousands of dollars worth of
highgrade ore has been taken in years
past. In fact it was worked by the
old Chloriders and the ore sent on
burrow back to the Colorado river, 80
miles distance, then, shipped down the
river, around the coast to San Fran
cisco and thence to Wales where the
ores were treated. Some idea Of the
value of the minerals taken out may
be conceived when it is said that it
cost from $1eO to SIPS a ton to have
the ore thus shipped and treated alone.
A shaft of about $50 feet is on the
property but its condition is such Mr..
Carter will sink a new shaft. The
work of placing a hoist, which is
already purchased, together with a
gasoline engine will begin as soon as
the concrete foundations have been
completed.
The West Star mine, property ad-
joining the Tuckahoe on the south,
with a vein running north and south
was also taken over by Mr.. Carter
from Frank Meredith. This also was
taken over under lease and bond.
The values in both the Tuekahoe and
West Star run gold and silver with
little Of the base metal products.
Mr.. Carter left Chloride for Los An
geles Calf. Wednesday evening to
complete details preparatory to begin
ing work.

Harrison Held to Answer

The preliminary examination of Jay
S. Harrison was held in the justice
court yesterday and at its completion
he was held to answer to the superior
court. A bond of $1,000 was set by
Justice Smith for his appearance.
Harrison is accused of taking the
Sheeptrail-Pyramid mill, and, after
having blasted it TO pieces, selling it
as junk. Much Importance is attach
ed to the case on account Of the bear
ing Of the different points at issue
as regards the right of locator to
property situated upon mining claims
and in consequence a large crowd at
tended the hearing.
County Attorney Stewart was as
sisted by E. S. Clark of Prescott, Ari-
zona; Philip I. Manson of San Fran
cisco, and E. Elmo Bollinger of King
man. The defense was conducted by
Judge P. D. Overfield Of Oatman.
Many witnesses were called by each
side and the case was most ably hand
led by the legal talent in charge. It
gives promise that it will be hotly con-
tested when it comes to trial in the
superior court.

Thor Warner, who has been working
on the finances of the Cleopatra Cop
per company the past eight or nine
months, is in Kingm=h t<r the pur-
pose of transferring the Office of the
company from Phoenix to Kingman.
The company was organized with g.

mines, situated below the old Nc
Cracken. E. F. Thompson is presi-
dent, Anson H. Smith vice president,
and ]. W. Morgan secretary-treasurer.
The company is the owner of the big
group of mines in the basin lying to
the north Of Bill Williams Fork. The
veins lie in a schist-lime contact, the
Gaping over some of the veins being
lime. Excellent ore has been opened
in many places along the big dixie,
and from personal observation the
Daily Miner mining editor believes
that splendid ore bodies can be opened
to the north of the old works, where
SO far little or no work has been done.
Float running up to 70 per cent cop
per has been picked up on the ground.
The float has been traced to the basin
near Potts Tanks, about a mile.
It is the intention of the manage

DIAMOND JOE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS MEETS

The board of directors and share
holders of the Diamond Joe Mining
company met yesterday afternoon at
the offices of Judge C. G. Krook in
the Beale Hotel, for the purpose of
putting the company in working shape.
A large block of stock Of the treasury
will be put on the market to furnish
a working capital.
With the money obtained from stock
sales it is intended that the company
drive a tunnel to tap the ore shoot
far below the present level. The road
is to be carried into the camp from
its present terminus, which will make
possible the shipment of ores to the
smelter at less cost.
Miss Flora Lewis of Yucca, one of
the owners in the property, and F. E.
Wilkinson, who has been at the mines
the past year, were in town to attend
the meeting. The other members of
the company present were Mrs. Man

YUCCA TUNGSTEN
INSTALLING MILL
fFrom sunday. paiIy nIInerl

Harvey Klotsch, manager of the
Yucca Tungsten Mines company, was
a Kingman visitor yesterday, coming
here to further the hauling of machin-
cry from Yucca to the camp. ]. w.
Fettes has the contract to haul 200
tons of machinery from Yucca to the
site of the mill close to the property,
and has already delivered large part
Of it.
Mr.. Klotsch has been consistently
developing the property, so that when
the new mill is put in commission
there will be an immense tonnage of
ore to work on. During the past year
100000 worth of tungsten has been
shipped to Pittsburgh, the ore being
dressed up in a small mill with hand
jigs. A big compressor and machine
drills have been installed at the lower
tunnel and the mine is now being
opened several hundred feet below the
old works.

COMPANY ORGANIZED
BY KINGMAN MEN
CFrOm Wednesdays Daily Miner.)

R. c. Jacobson, Ora Gruninger, 1.
C. Stricken, S. D. Stewart and Axel
Erickson have organized the Park
Copper company with a capitalization
of 100000 one-dollar shares. The
company is totake over the property of
Gruninger and Erickson, near the En-
erald Isle, where a nice showing of
copper has been made in superficial
development work.
The new company will at once be-
gin active development work with a
view to determining the depth and
value of the deposit. Development in
dicates that the ore body may have
depth and permanency, where hereto
fore only a superficial deposit was
thought to exist. The shaft has been
sunk through the carbonates, and is
now in sulphide, with the vein as
strong in the bottom as on the sur
face. The sinking of the shaft has
somewhat upset the theory of the de-
posit of copper, known as the McNeely
copper, and which is now being work
ed under the name of the Emerald
Isle Copper company. The property
is west of Mineral Park, on the Chic
ride highway.

PROPERTIES

FrOm Tuesdays Daily Miner.l
]. II. Hoffman, accompanied by Mr..
Cochran of Los Angeles and L. Hof-
man of Kingman, paid visit Sunday
to the properties of the McCracken
Silver-Lead Mines company at the old
McCracken camp south of Yucca.
They found that during the past week
the upper tunnel had broken into two
feet of solid lead ore and 61h feet of
mill ore that carries from 10 to Is
per cent lead. All of this ore carries
values in silver as well. In the lower
tunnel a big vein has been entered,
but no assays have been taken to de-
termine the values, although the ore
is shot full of lead.
Mr.. Cochran, an old Montana min
ing man, stated that the veins in the
group were the largest he had ever
seen, and that the showing was a sur
prise to him. The mining editor of
this paper can well concur in what Mr..
Cochran has said about these claims.
Taken as a whole, the McCracken
mines and the properties of the Nc
Cracken Silver-Lead company are
among the big things of the state.
There is only one group of claims that
we know of in the United States that
compare in characteristics and value
with this big group, and that is the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines at
Wardner, Idaho. And we believe that
when the same amount of money in
development is expended on these
mines their output will be as large
and as valuable as their Idaho rivals.
One advantage that the McCracken
may have over other properties is the
exceedingly rich lenses of ore that
occur in the veins. In the early days
of the McCracken there was sent to
the mill thousands of tons of ore run
ming from go ounces to 300 ounces
silver. The lower grades, which occur
in the lead zones, were practically un-
touched. Radiating out from the big
veins are stringers and veinlets of ex-
ceptionally rich carzonates, while the
larger veins carry galena mixed with
earbonates and sulphates.
A force of men is now at work on
the property ana within shorttime
shipments will be made to the smell
ter. A shorter wagon haul is being
lined up, the expectation being that
the railroad may be reached within 25
miles over an easy grade.
