NEW STRIKE IN WEST . DRIFT " OF GOLD ORE
 INCREASING IN VALUE

The new strike of ore in the west drift on the $50 foot level of the Gold Ore, mentioned in the last issue of the Miner, continues to increase not only in width, but in values, as- says from the breast showing $43.80 across 6 feet of width. The drift is now in 50 feet on the ore and the aver age of all materials coming from the opening runs better than $30. This drift will be carried west through, the ore body, which is 600 feet in length on the 500 level, but connection will probably be made with the main shaft, 45 feet to the south of the vein. The vein is north of the shaft and in the work, done under another regime it was entered at point about 200 feet east of the $50 station level. All drifting has been carried on from the point where the cross cut entered the vein. On the 800 level the ore body showed up as large as on the $50 but values at greater depth appear to have increased from $8 to $20. If this body continues west to the same distance and maintains it's values it will prove the mdne to be one of the big prop critics of the county, and there is no reason to believe that it will not be of greater extent. To the east Super intendent Werden has carried the drift 100 feet beyond the old breast and has opened a body of ore 4 feet wide that gives an average of better than $14. . . -.. .. ss.
 Take these two ore bodies and the high average values and it will readily be seen that the mine is fast passing from the speculative stage into a real mine. Both ore bodies will give splendid backs of ore, as the ground above has been practically untouched. As soon as the ore has been sufficient ly opened a production can readily be maintained and development extended to new levels.
 A. c. Werden, who is managing the property, may be relied uponl to give the shareholders run for their money and no false or misleading reporvs will be sent out from the property to boost the game of the stock peddlers. He has always given out conservative reports and always deprecated the methods employed to interest the pub lie in the purchase of shares.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRESSING
 ON THE CHLORIDE QUEEN

J. M. Kellogg, of the Chloride Queen Mining Company, who has been at the mines the past week or so, was in Kingman yesterday on his way to Phoenx. He reports that the com pany has just installed a 50 horse power gas engine, compressor and pumps. The compressor has enough capacity to handle four jack hammers installed some months ago and has crushing and little water is used in been in commission while the shaft was sunk to a depth of 230 feet. Cross cutting is now being carried to the vein and it is proposed to drive along the vein several hundred feet All drifting will be under the moun- tain and will gain depth with every foot of progress. The company will keep the work pushed at top speed, Sam Rhea being at the head of affairs and being noted as a speed king, when it comes to making progress.
 The company is the owner of what was known some years ago as the Sunday School claim, the north exten- sion of the Elkhart, where a network of veins converge. .a.

PINK BEAN RAISER
 VISITS MINES HERE

, MT. and Mrs. w. J. Burnett, of Peoria, Arizona, were in Kingman a few days ago looking into mining properties in which they are interest ed. MT. Burnett is known as the pink bean king of the Salt River val ley, and is quite heavily interested in mining in this county. He a share holder in the Berkeley and the Mohave Queen. The Berkeley is now being operated by T. J. Sparkes, and is sit uated in Cedar valley mining district. Work is progressing on the property the old mkin shaft being cleared of water and debris and the drift now be- ing driven farther on the vein. A new shaft is also being sunk on the vein, where a new discovery of ore was made in large vein.
 The Burnetts have returned to their home in the Salt River valley very much pleased with the mining outlook.

SCHUyLK|LL MINING
 COMPANY DRIVING nj. ...
 INTO THE TENNESSEE

The Schuylkill Mining Company retimbered the old Tennessee shaft and completed the trackage on the 900 level of the property. The work of driving the drift on that level to the Schuylkill ground on the north is now under way and will soon be in a rich ore zone.
 A sample taken across three feet of ore in the north drift of the Tenn essee, close to the Schuylkill ground, gave results of $7.00 in gold and sill yer, IS per cent lead and 16.S per cent zinc, having total value of bet ter than $60. On the levels above, close to the north line, there are other ore bodies that give big results in the various m ttals. Superintendent Kelly, who has been rushing work on the various projects of the company expects to soon have thA property in shape to produce big tonnage of splendid milling ore. The ore in the Schuylkill is showing big values and everywhere that openings have been made better and better results are obtained as work progresses.
 With the erection of the big mill designed for the property, this com pany will soon be on a dividend-ba- sis. It has a big estate of exception ally good ground.

MAKES TRIP TO 1. A. IN
 INTERESTS OF lEVIATHAN

E. M. Kelley and wife, of the Levia- than mines, departed Tuesday evening to Los Angeles, where MT. Kelley will look after important affairs for his company. The Leviathan company is operating a plant in Los Angeles that makes a thorough cleanup of the con- centrates shipped to it fromE the big milling plant at the mines, the prod uct going to market as ammoniate of moybdenuln and bolybdenic acid. The company is torn'ng out about a car load cf concentrates monthly ant cN' poets soon to increase this production. It goes out to ,ke cleaning plant con taining about 16 per cent molybdenite and 16 per cent copper. At the Los Angeles plant these metals are sep arated, the products being clean mo- lybdenum and copper. The copper practically pays the cost of shipment and cleaning, as we'll as the manufac- ture of the high grade products.

FEDERAL INVESTIGATOR
 MQUESTRARE MINERALS

J. H. Means, of Washington, D. c. an investigator under the war miner als bureau, is looking over the min eral fields of Mohave county to as certain if the production of rare met als may be speeded up with the aid of the government. MT. Means ex- pressed the opinion that the demand for tungsten would increase largely during the year and that the price would also increase.
 Mir. Means has been looking over the fields with the purpose of report ing to Washington and it is probable that all the tungsten fields of this county will soon be under more active operation. There are mbny impor- tant deposits of the heavy metal in the Wallapai and Aquarius ranges and with a little aid these deposits should be put on producing basis. The one important shipper today is that of the Yucca Tungsten Company, which is shipping about carloadt of rich concentrates monthly, besides a tonnage of copper. This property can be further speeded by the extension of saving devices and the greater dew elopment of the mines. The present management of the property has done wonderful work in the opening of the property to the present stage and with the expenditure of more money can fully double production.
 Other properties can also be brought forward to larger output and some of the claims that have no present production can soon be put in condi- tion to make an output that would be of value to the war board.

NEW EMERALD ISLE PLANT
 WILL SOON BE OPERATING

Last Monday the mining editor visited the Emerald Isle plant, south of chloride, where he found large force of men installing machinery and erecting buildings and getting the big plant shape for early operations. Fifty news cells have been installed, buildings erected, rockbreakers and rolls put in through which the ore will automatically pass into theN distribut- ing bin and into the tanks. As in- cline is started into the ore body and will be carried to depth sufficient to allow a glory hole being carried rie( to the surface and the caving system established for the breaking down of the ores. This will make the handling of the ores almost entirely automatic from mine to the teaching vats.
 The plant will be capable of hand ling about 75 tons of ore daily, and expects to make a big extraction. It is the first electrolytic copper plant in the county and is said to be one of the most econonai aical plants of the kind in the state. The design of the plant was worked out by the Mohave Engineering company of Kingman and the installation is under that com pany's direction.

SHEEP TRAIL PYRAMID ... MINES COMPANYlN GOOD
 ORE AT CATHERINE MINE

-, The Catherine mine which is being operated by the Sheeptrail-Py Pyramid Mines Company, is driving ahead on the 100 foot level with small force of men. The vein at this point looks very good, the ore being of high mill ing grade. The property is under the management of R. s. Billings, consult ing engineer of the company. MT. Billings believes this property will soon be in the public eye on account of it's large ore bodies and the excel lent quality of the ore. Under the former management the vein was lost owing to a faulting of the vein system and this fault has been worked out and the vein picked up somh dis tance from thel, old works. It is ex- pected that the vein will again be op- ened on a deeper level and stopes opened throughout the developed ore bodies.
 The mining editor expects to visit the property within the next ten days and give our readers the benefit of first hand information. As the prop erty is one of first importance we be- lieve our readers would be pleaded lieve our readers would be pleased other big gold mine in the county.

THE METAL MARKET

Spelter is now quoted at 9.25 in St. Louis, lead S.05, silver bullion is sold for home consumption at $1.01 1-2 Some commercial copper has sold as low as 25 cents although all govern ment work has to pay the rated price of 26 cents, It is the impression that at the next meeting of the price fix ing board a positive price will be set on all metals, so that there will be no discrimination in the market. Every one should have to pay the same price for any of the metals, whether if be silver, copper, lead, or zinc, and the price should be an equitable one.

CLUBBED TO DEATH AT
 STATE PENITHNTIARY

Frank Spence, an old time miner and goat raiser of Yavapai county, was clubbed to death last Sunday by a crazy Mexican in the State peni- tentiary at Florence. The Mexican had been playing ball and returning from the field found Spence asleep and without provocation beat his head to a pulp with the bat.
 Spence was sentenced to life inn prisonment number of years ago for murder and had served at least ten years. He was well known to many of the old timers of this county.

BETTER RAILROAD RATES
 FOR MANGANESE ORES

The War Industries Board has se- sured a new rate on manganese ore for Arizona points to Birmingham, Alabama, Chicago and other points where the mineral may be used in the smelteries. The rate will be published within a few days. The old rate was to Pittsburg and was unusually high. With better railroad, a heavy de- mandj and government aid, the miner of the alloy metal should be content.
