RED GAP PROPERTY
 OPENED BY TUNNEL

The Red Gap. under the bond re- gently given by Kean St. Charles on that property, is being opened by a tunnel on the old ore body and a cross cut is now being driven toward the hanging wall to line up the vein at a new point. The ore that has been picked up in the operations shows ex- cellent values in gold. With the de- velopment of the mine below the fault ing it ought to prove one of the big gold properties of the county. It has all tha earmarks of a mine and with the exercise of mining judgment all the faultings will be worked out in a short time.

(By P. R. Milnes)

PRESCOTT, Aug. 22.-The plau-
 dits that go to the ship builders are equally deserved by the copper miners of Arizona, who in the month of July
 broke another record for production. They are taking out copper ore at the rate of S0O,OO0,OOO pounds a year, which is considerably more than ever before was mined by any state in the Union, far more than Arizona ever produced in previous years and Arizo- na has long been the leader. At the current price of 26 cents pound, the copper will be worth $2Os,OOO, ,OOO. However, the years average will not be 26 cents a pound, for until recently the price was 251a cents a pound. The men of the smelters deserve credit equal to the miners, for as great as has been the production of ore, the smelters have kept right up with it and are turning out every pound into copper at a rate truly marvellous.
 A fact worthy of notice is that the profit of the companies is small, ow ing to the high costs and moderate revenue. while the wages of the em- ployes are higher than ever before were paid in the history of the in- dustry. Of all the millions that cop- per production brings to the compa- nles, a great many of these millions

COPPER WORLD MINE
 HAS BEEN OPTIONED

The Copper World mine, situated about IA miles east of Yucca has just been taken over under option by Chas. Adams and associates. The mine will be unwatered and the old ore body will be exploited.
 The old Copper World and Antler are owned by the Commercial Copper company, subsidiary of the Phelps Dodge corporation. In the early eigh- ties the mines were purchased from the late James Rosborough, John K. Mackenzie and Sport" Reilly. These men had located the property and shipped some ore from it. The new con.paly sank c siiat. below the wa.er on the Copper World and did consid- erable work on the Antler. As the shaft went down the values in the ore decreased in copper, but the Antler maintained it's values as far as depth was gained. The Antlers ores were not only rich in copper, but also car ried splendid values in silver The two mines were about six miles apart and the ores from the upper vein had to be packed by burro train to the road. The ores from both properties were shipped to the old Blackberry and Boggs smelter, in Yavapai county for treatment. When production was at its night the price of copper dropped to 9 cents and the company not only from the operation of this mine, but also all other propertiea in the north part of the territory.
 We believe that good ore will be dis closed in both properties by the lessees.

YUCCA TUNGSTEN MINE
 PAYS FIRST DIVIDEND

The first dividend, amounting to $20,O00, was declared by the Yucca Tungsten company this week. The company is now shipping big cars of concentrates that are netting $40,OOO to the car and better than 50 per cent of the money realized from the sales is net. This is one of the first tung- sten mines in the state to pay a divi- dend and this company is sure to keep in the forefront in the dividend class for many years to come, as it's ores are far richer than any other property of the kind in the United States.

ARIZONA BUTTE'S BANNER
 MINE SHIPS RICH ORE

The installation of compressor plant on the Banner mine, of the Arizona Butte plant, has made it possible for the leasers to get better results in the driving of drifts on the ore bodies. A carload of ore sent out a week ago by a group of leasers netted $2500. While this was not one of the best cars sent out from the property it brought the men better results as it was extracted in record time. The new ore shows better than any shipped up to date and the bodies are quite large. AS soon as the company drives ahead into the other ore bodies much greater tonnage of ore will be going out.
 Not only is the Banner mine of the group making good, but the hoist on the Prince George is now pulling out some of the best ore that property ever produced. The ore is rich in na- tive and ruby silver and the body is quite large. This is the ore body that will soon be opened at depth by the big tunnel that is surveyed through the vein and which is now in nearly 700 feet.

THE BLACKBERRY MINE IS
 MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

The main shaft on the old Hack berry mine has reached the 800 and the work of cutting station there viii soon be under way. On the 700 the crosscut was run to the vein and the drift carried along the ore body for a distance of 100 feet. The ore is found to be as good, if not better, than that cut in the 400 and 600 levels. The company will soon be opening stopes in the property and getting ready to deliver any amount of ore that the new mill needs will demand when the plant is in commission. The mine is now capable of delivering fully 500 tons daily and this tonnage can be in- creased at any time.
 The company is assembling the mill units as fast as the material arrives and it is expected that the plant may be in commission within the next 90 days. This mill will be one of the most up'to-date Notation plants in the state.

JONATHAN AND ELIZA
 MINES SHOW GOOD ORE

Walter Myers, who recently located the old Jonathan and Etta mines near the Frost ranch, 15 miles east of King man, this week brought in rich sam pies of rock taken from the 80 foot level of the property. He showed assays of the ore that ran between 300 and 500 ounces in silver.
 Some years ago the mine was oper- ated by Charles Cumming, who took out large tonnage of very rich sill yer ore. The vein was lost in the low CT levels and now MT. Myers picked it up in the footwall at the 80-foot depth. The vein is about IS inches wide and is improving as the drift progresses on it.

OLD FAY MINE, SEVEN
 MINES SOUTH OF K|NCMAN
 IS SHIPPING SIPS ORE

This week a shipment of ore was made to the smelter from the old Fay mine, about seven miles south of King man, by w. A. Rieff and Ernest Sol- omon. The ore sampled $125 in gold and silver, the gold running better than $120. This ore waA taken from a five inch streak in the vein, the bal ance being high grade milling ore.
 Rieff and Solomon have charge of the old Fay mine and mill and expect to soon have large enough tonnage to operate the mill on it. The gold is free and there is no reason why the values cannot be saved to high per- centage. Crushing must be through a 60 screen or possibly better to get the best results, as the fine gold is closely associated with heavy iron oxides.

MIDDLE GOLCONDA
 PAID VISIT BY SEC'Y,

James B., Speed, secretary of the Middle Golconda Mines company, paid visit to the company's property in Todd Basin~late last week, stopping over here on his way from California to Verde. He was much pleased with the showing at the mines and will soon be at work interesting financiers in the property.
 The Middle Golconda this week ship ped carload of very rich silver ore to the shelter and the returns are awaited with great interest. Some of the specimens from the mine exhibited in kingman are as rich and handsome native and ruby silver ores as have ever heen taken from a Mohave coun- ty mine, and Mohave county has al- ways been noted for its rich silver ores.

Mining News From Yavapai County

are paid out to employees and by them are distributed in the channels of trade. It is no wonder Arizona is rich. Copper is just as much a wa, industry as ship building, for it is now announced that practically every pound of copper mined goes into a war industry and contributes directly to the prosecution of hostilities against the Hun.
 In this wonderful showing made by the state of Arizona, Yavapai coun- ty shares no small part. With her miles upon miles of highly mineralized ground, Yavapai county today stands as one of the foremost mining counties in the entire west.
 Yavapai's assessed valuation for 1918 is approximately $13O, 1000, ,O0O as against $9S,021, ,481 for 1917 and S5S,- 277,781 for 1916.
 Six mines alone account for SSS,- 511,458. According to the U. S. Geo. logical survey, there are now SS pro- ducing mines in Yavapai county. The enormous proportion of Yavapai's wealth represented in its mines will be readily understood.
 The asse5sed values of mines de- bends largely upon production and the net profits. How the production in the six leading mines of the county has in- creased will be realized from the fol- lowing table:

SINKING A SHAFT
 ON GRANNIS MINE

w. D. Grannis and Porfirio Noli have been sinking a shaft on one of the Grannis properties, in the lower part of Deluge Wash the past two weeks and soon expect to have it at 9 depth of 50 feet below the tunnel level. This property is under option to Los Angeles people and is said to be showing excellent copper-molybde- nite ore. Should the present work in- crease the values of molybdenite it is quite probable that there will be more work done at once and that the mill now at Yucca will be hauled in and installed.

INSTALLATION OF
 POWER PLANT IS
 BEING CONSIDERED

The United Eastern is seriously considering the installation of an emergency power plant at Oatman to handle cases like that of last week, when the lightning put the line from Kingman out of commission for eight hours. The plant will be equipped with an 80 horsepower engine and 60 horse power generator. This would give suf- ficient power to carry the essential machines, while the main power line was being strung up and put in com mission. The necessity for an auxil- iary plant is obvious, where few hours shutdown will disarrange min ing and milling conditions and cause the loss of many hundreds of dollars in wages alone.

TRIAL RUN AT GEORGE
 WASHINGTON SHOWS HIGH
 RECOVERY WITH FLOTAT|ON

The trial run of the George Wash ington mill, at Mineral Park, has been completed and was an entire success. The plant is now being operated reg ularly on ore from the mine and is ex- tracing better than 92 per cent of the metal. This is wonderful extraction from an ore that carries its values in ruby and native silver, as we'll as cop per oxides and native copper. Just how these results are obtained is an- rounced to be the proper mixing of high grade oils and maintenance of steady flow through the launders from the batteries. The company has in charge of the mill man with years 'f experience Tn the north and who is practical in every way in the han ding of ores.

GRAND GULCH MINE
 SHIPPING RICH ORE.

Leasers on the Grand Gulch mine arc shipping considerable tonnage of rich copper ore from that property to Salt Lake. This ore averages nearly 40 per cent copper as it is broken down in the mine, but owing to the haulags it is cobbed to above 50 per cent.
 This mine is situated about 40 miles north of the Colorado river in this county, and in the sandstone country. The ore IS shipped to St. Thomas to the Clark road.

NEW ORE BODY OPENED AT GOLD ORE RECENTLY
 PROVING GOOD VALUES

The drift to the west on the 700 level of the Gold Ore, at Goldroad, has been driven a considerable distance in to the new ore body that was encoun- tered on that level last week and the indications are that big tonnage of high grade mill ore will be opened up. The new ore body appears to be of far greater dimensions than anything opened OH the levels above, and it is hoped that it will continue to get bet ter with every days work.
 The present management of Gold Ore has been honest and conservative and when report now goes out from that property it can be relied upon.

CACTUS QUEEN MINING
 COMP AN Y BUYS S30,000
 WORTH MINING MACHINERY

The Cactus Queen Mining company, owner of more than 5000 acres of min ing lands in the Owens mining district, has just purchased $SO,O00 worth of mining machinery for installation on the property and later larger plants are to be added to the equipment. A Los Angeles firm sold the plants to the company and will install the ma chinery. It consists of 150 horsepow- CT compressor and steam boilers, one 40 horsepower hoist, one 40 horsepow- CT engine and compressor, cars, rails, trackage, buckets, skip and other nec- essary tools and machines. When the equipment has been installed it is pur- posed to sink the main shaft on one of the properties to depth of 500 feet and crosscut the vein system. At the 150 level the crosscut showed an immense body of ore, the average value of which was above per cent and carrying gold and silver. Big lenzes in the vein ran as high as 40 per cent copper. Many thousands of tens of rich ore is now available for shipment, but the lack of good roads will prevent production until some time later in the year, when it is ex- pcctcd that road will be built to the mines from Yucca.
 The company, under the manage ment and direction of H. E. Barbee, has been doing an immense amount of development covering the big estate. Some of the claims are opened by tunnel and adit drifts, open cuts and other means of showing up the won derful copper bearing possibilities of the veins.
 The property is reached from Hill side, but new road is being built in from Yucca by way of McCracken and the old Rawhide mines. This road will bring the property close to the Santa Fe railroad and give the company an outlet without having to cross the Bill Williams Fork, which sometimes IS impossible by reason of heavy floods from it's tributary streams.

RUMORED THAT OLD CEDAR MINES WILL
 BE WORKED AGAIN

l. B. McNaughton, who has been in charge of the Cedar valley mines for a number cf years, was in from that place the ether day. It is rumored that the company owning the proper ties expects to have some development work under way soon.
 The old Cedar mines were at one time among the big silver producers of the county, but their isolation from railroad made mining a costly propo- sition and they have been closed for g number of years.
