ARIZ. SOUTHWESTERN
 COPPER MINES

J. H. Hoffman, secretary of the Ari- zona Southwestern Copper company, was in Kingman a few days ago from a visit to the company's property at COpperville. While we did not have opportunity to interview him, we un- derstand that the company is soon to begin operations on the mines on a large scale. The main shaft on the mine is down 400 feet and the ore body will be opened on that level. It is understood that a winze will be run down through the ore body on the 300 level to indicate it's dimensions and make it's opening on the lower level an easy matter. This ore body carried high values in lead and silver, the silver running two ounces to each per cent of lead.

THRIFT STAMP
 CAMPAIGN ON

Thursday last the Thrift Campaign started in earnest in Kingman, when Mrs. Mary Eleanor Cohenour opened her office in the postoffice and called upon all patrons of that necessary government appurtenance to fulfill their patriotic duty and buy Thrift stamps. And they really bought. Her sales for the day were $101.50. Mrs. Kean St. Charles yesterday took her place and the sales amounted to more than $50. It was not a lively day at the postoffice, or she would have equalled the records of the previous day. Today Mrs. William Falder will occupy the position of honor and we expect her to do a thriving business.
 And now that the good work has started we hope to see every town in the county emulating the example of the good women of Kingman and opening the postoffice campaign, or at any public place where the people are wont to visit. The sale of stamps require that every one in the United States shall buy at least s20 worth during the year, or his neighbor will be compelled td buy that amount for him. Do not let this service depend on your neighbor. He may be pur- chasing baby bonds or Liberty bonds.

WHITE GROSSCUTTINGT
 THE ROADSIDE LODE

Peter F. White was in town a few days ago from the Roadside Lode claim and reports that he has crosscut the vein 65 feet and still is not in sight of the other wall. The work is slow on account of the volume of wa ter that has to be handled. Some of the vein carries good gold values, while the whole mass will run about s6 to the ton. Mir. White believes he will open a great property, but it will take time to accomplish results.
 The Roadside is one ot the big veins of the Union Pass section and MT. White is lucky in getting the mine opened at the 300 level in the way he has. To our way of thjnking the car rying off of level alon the vein may at any time pick up a rich stringer that will cause the mine to come into the limelight with a rush.

WILL DRIVE TUNNEL
 ON COPPER MINES

The Walnut Creek Mining & Milling company is preparing to drive a deep tunnel to open its big vein at a depth of about $50 feet. The tunnel will gain more than foot for foot, and should 1t open up the same grade of ore as that encountered in the shaft the mine should become one of the big producers of the county. Walter Tate and associates, have the contract to do the work on the tunnel, and as this is to cross the country to the vein it is quite probable that it will be driven to it's final terminal without stoppage. Mir. Tate and associates were in King man this week getting matters in shape to begin the work.
 The Walnut Creek company has been operating the mines consistently the past year and is said to have open ed a fine body of ore in the shaft, the ore having a value high in copper, as well as carrying some gold and silver. Samples of the ore give results up to 40 per cent, and the average across the vein is reported to be better than 15 per cent.

OVERALL KID"
 AGAIN IN BAD

Jack Teasdale, known as the "Over- all Kid" was arrested in Phoenix the other day on a charge of robbery, on which charge he was bound over to the superior court. Several years ago he was arrested in Kingman on a charge of receiving stolen goods of the United States and was bound over to the United States court at Fl Paso by U. s. Commissioner Anson H. Smith. He was taken to the Texas district and convicted of the crime. The Kid is a criminal of long standing and appa- rently hesitates at no degree of crime.

TIDAL WAVE MINE
 STRIKES RICH ORE

The Tidal Wave mine, situated near the old Gold Bug property, in the New Weaver mining district, has again en- tered the rich ore body that was lost when operated by the company last year. Lee Mccoy, who is the owner with Thomas Acord, agreed to find the ore for the company, provided the company put up the necessary expense of one or two men in the work of ex- ploration, and his knowledge of the ground enabled him to again pick up the ore body. This body of ore is said to be extremely rich, rivaling anything opened in that section. The company is just now driving along on the vein and expects to develop enough ore to justify the erection of a milling plant. The company is bending every effort now to the development of the ore bodies below the present level. The new ore body was opened on the 100 level, although the shaft is 100 feet below that point. It was thought that the ore could be more readily traced out near the surface than below in the faulted section, and this theory evidently proved true.

ARIZONA BUTTE COMING ID
 THE FRONT

The mines that should soon be in
 the lime light in Mohave county are
 the Stockton Hill property of the Ari- zona Butte. This company owns ap-
 proximately two miles along one of
 the largest veins of the county and
 every foot of that vein is mineralized.
 While all of it may not be rich, it
 shows that it carries values every
 where opened. The company has the
 property very we'll equipped with mill and other necessary machinery. At
 the foot of the hill big compressor
 has been put in for the purpose of driving the big bore into the noun
 tain. This tunnel is now in about 600 feet and ought to be driven at least 300 feet per month when the machine drills are put on the work. The great est difficulty will be mucking the ground. One years work will surely bring to light immense ore bodies, as the vein has shown wonderful values in many places, some of which have yielded thousands of tons of shipping ores. Today openings below the old level in the Prince George, which is on the big vein through which the tunnel will run, show wonderful val ues in silver. Samples to be seen at the Kingman market of I. M. George, ought to convince the most skeptical of the wonderful possibilities of this 
 When the tunnel reaches the work ings on the Prince George a crosscut of the vein system of Stockton Hill will make possible the opening of the gridiron of veins that have in the years past produced millions of dollars in rich silver ores and open the way to the employment of thousand men in tribute work. Every small vein in that section carried immensely rich silver ore on the surface and nowhere has a vein cut off or the value de- ,reased with depth. It is this vast | vein system that the big tunnel is de- | signed to enter and drain and give the easer a chance to get at the rich ores hat surely exist there. All the old lime leasers of the county are await ng the day when they can get back n the mines of Stockton Hill with ut having to buck water or hoist waste from the depths. The big bore S looked upon to drain the country md give them all a chance.
 The company expect to remove its mill from the ground of the Banner laim to the mouth of the tunnel as oon as the ore bodies have been cached in the Prince George. Water n plenty will be developed by the tun- lel and the mill will be brought about wo miles nearer the railroad and in . more accessible place for economic operation. The mill has so far done plendid work on the ores from the -arious mines and it's try-out at the ,ase of the mountain is sure to be ust as successful.

WONDERFUL SILVER MINE
 IS THE OLD BLACKBERRY

One of the Mohave county mines
 that IS being opened without the blare
 of trumpets is the old Blackberry. Its
 main shaft has reached a depth of 700
 feet and has been in ore practically
 from the surface. On the 600 level the ore body has been opened for great
 distance and at the present time there
 are 4000 linear feet of ore exposures
 above the 600 and approximately 20O,-
 900 tons of ore in sight. On the 700
 level the ore has been cut and drifts are now being carried off toward the
 big ore body. At this point the vein is five feet wide and the ore is rich in native and ruby silver, the average being above 80 ounces, with a small amount of gold.
 Five levels have been run above the 500 and each one shows big values in silver and the vein in places reaches to 16 feet in width. As the ore shows on the surface approximately the whole length of two claims it is req sonable to believe that there will be no break in the ore body on any of the levels. The breast of the north and south drifts still show excellent ore and no apparent illumination of the bodies, the full width of the drifts be- ing of the same character of ore as that shown in other parts of the mine The 100000 tons of ore will average better than 20 ounces of silver and about $1.50 in gold, besides all the ores carry values in lead and zinc. The does not consider the lead and zinc values when figuring out the value of the ore in sight, al- though these values will help sweeten the whole mass.
 Mill tests have been made on the ore and it has been found that a high l gold and silver content as well as the lead and zinc. It will be necessary to l install a mill of at least 200 tons ca Daeity, with room for additional units ! IS the necessity for same arises. This | mill has been recommended by F. W. | Sherman and other engineers and it | s now beyond the possibilities that
Mohave County miner., 1918-03-16

in anywise detraeting from the United Eastern, for that mine cannot be de- tracted from. It is doing its whole duty in the way of producing approxi- mately S180,000 in gold bullion every month. And while it has not yet opened it's ore body on the deep level, enough of it has been gone into to show that it will soon be in position to operate a mill of double the pres ent capacity.
 The mill recordeof the Tom Reed for the month of March should be high, as the ore now going through the mill will average about S27, or pos sibly better. This is a high mill av- craze for the tonnage that is being handled. Smaller veins may show a higher grade of ore than that now be- ing milled at Oatman, but nowhere has any of the great gold properties of the country put high grade ore through their mills.
 The company expect soon to begin the work of raising to the surface from the 500 on the new vein, or will equip and sink the shaft to a connec- tion with the workings. This will take some time, but in the meantime the company will be able to carry on a big development campaign along the present level on that property.
