MIDDLE BLACKBERRY
 co. INCORPORATED

The Middle Blackberry Mining com pany was incorporated this week by c. J. Sparkes and S. D. Martin. The company is the owner of a group of claims situated between the old Phil lips claims and the Blackberry, some of the most desirable ground in that locality. The officers of the new cor poration, w. H. Raplee, president; T. J. Sparkes, vice president and general manager; w. B. Ridenour, director; Samuel D. Martin, director; J. H. Townsend, secretary and treasurer; T.. D. Walsh, consulting engineer; Paul c. Thorne, counselor. The main of flee of the company is to be at King man, and the capitalization is $780, 900 in ten cent shares.
 A report by T. J. Sparkes shows that there is continuous outcrop of vein between the old Blackberry and the Blackberry Extension property, the Middle Blackberry lying between the two properties, the Blackberry be- ing opened to the 900 level and show ing great ore bodies and the Exten- sion being partly developed. The si- tuation of this property is ideal. from a mining standpoint and we expect to see a good producer opened up with the projected work completed.

SILVER BELL EXPLORATION
 COMPANY INCORPORATES

w. w. Lewis and A. M. Cook this week incorporated the Silver Bell EX- ploration company, with 'capitaliza- ton of $15O,OOO. The company is to take over the Silver Bell silver mines, and to operate them by driving tun- nel into the vein at depth of about 400 feet. The property is opened by a shaft, which shows excellent ore bodies and the vein outcrops along the surface of the mountain a long dis tance. It is in the neighborhood of the old Blackberry, lying to the west of that property and on the same vein system.
 MT. Lewis informs us that opera tions will be carried on in the tun- mel as considerable depth may be gained by a short system of tunnel driving and that when the vein is entered greater depth will be gained by driving along the vein. The shaft indicates what may be found at depth as the vein shows unbroken from the surface and the values hold out.

DA|SELL COMPANY
 UNWATERINC RURAL

The Daisell Mining company has the water down to 30 feet from the bottom of the Rural mine and the drifts above the bottom are being cleared of muck. Some fine looking ore has been found in the drifts and it is the belief of MT. Dudley that de- velopments will show the mine to be all that has been claimed for it.
 During the old days the Rural was enc of the best known silver mines of the state, having produced some of the handsomest specimens the world has ever seen. Undoubtedly body of this ore will be found with further exploration and large bodies of mill ore are sure to be opened. The mine always paid the chlorider we'll when ever he leased it. but the owners have not cared to give leases during the past several years, preferring to let il lie until it could be opened up in the proper way.

TO INTEREST CAPITAL IN MOHAVE co. MINES

Edward Copley, who has been in the east, especially in Pittsburg, the past year, arrived in Kingman last Sunday morning. He reports that efforts to get money for mine development in the east during the war has been a hard one, but that now millions of dollars are available for good propo- sitions. His visit east has been fruit full in the further financing of the Arizona Butte, number of Pittsburg and New York capitalists taking the matter up and will furnish the money wherewith to drive the deep tunnel in- to the big vein system owned by the company. This tunnel is destined to open the properties up at depth of from 400 to 1900 feet and drain every mine within radius of two miles of the bore.
 The porperty of the Arizona Butte has been favorably reported on by many high class mining engineers, as we'll as practical mining men. Not one of the many who has looked the project over has turned it down. To-

day it is considered one of the most important tunnel projects in the west, taking its place with the Roosevelt tunnel in Cripple Creek and the Sutro tunnel on the Comstock. By driving the tunnel vast area of mining ground will be opened, the larger ac- reage being that owned by the com pany. The other mines would operate and several thousand miners could be employed profitably were it now in operation,and millions of dollars could be produced through it. It was on account of this tunnel proposition that the people of Kingman invested larg- ely in the Arizona Butte because of its possibility in the drainage and opening of the big mines that have their apex on Stockton Hill. With tunnel into these mines costs of min- ing and milling would be reduced to a minimum and water for all purposes would be available. The securing of financial assistance at this time will make possible completion of the tun- nel to point where the big ore bodies are known to be situated.

0'DEA PROPERTY, WEST OF MIDDLE COLCONDO
 SOLD 10 MIN. MAN

> This week L. R. Myers, of Minea- polls, purchased the mining property of William and Frank O'Dea, situated to the west of the Middle Golconda property, paying cash therefor. The property is contiguous to the Orc Plata, as we'll as the Middle Golconda and has been opened to a considerable extent. Good ore has been opened in a number of places in the property and there is possibility of the develop ment of a shipping proposition. But the mines, we believe, have been pur- chased with a view of driving a long tunnel into the ground of the Middle Golconda and opening that property many hundred feet below the present depth.
 We understand that MT. Myers has also taken an option on the Middle Golconda and will soon have it under active operation. This property is one of the best silver mines of the county, having large bodies of excep- tionally rich silver ore opened in the adit drifts and winzes. A carload of the high grade silver was shipped to the shelter some time ago and we believe that there is now carload on the dumps ready to go forward. During the high price of zinc many carloads of high grade. zinc ore was shipped by Supt. Bell and thousands of tons of milling stuff is now on the dumps. The mine has been open ed by two tunnels, which reach into the vein at a depth of several hundred feet. The projected new tunnel will tap the veins several hundred feet be- low the present level and would also reach the Golconda property below the deep level. Other veins could also be opened from the same tunnel, espec- ially the old Prosperity and the Prim- rose, which were large shippers of high grade ore in the early days of the camp. c. B. Bell, superintendent of the property, has been in charge of development of the Middle Golcon- da the past two years and has done wonderful amount of work in gett- ing that mine at it's present high stage of development, especially when the small amount of money used is taken into consideration.

BUYS AGENCY

Herbert Salinger, one time repres- entative of the Beer, Sondheimer Company, has just purchased the in- terest of Kirk and Leavell in the Western Metals company, of Salt Lake City, Utah, and will continue the business of purchasing zinc, lead and manganese ores, but will also purchase rare minerals. MT. Sailing CT is we'll known in this county, hav- ing made many contracts for the old firm for the purchase of zinc ores. He is we'll acquainted with the mines of the southwest and knows their ca- pacity for production. He and oth- CTS tried to get lease and option on the old c. O. D. mine, but could not come to terms, although he had ex- cellent backing at the time.

DEVELOPMENT SOON UNDERWAY AT THE
 THUMB BUTTE MINE

Robert Malcom, general manager of the Thumb Butte Gold Mines com pany, accompanied by Herbert L. Me Nair, secretary of the company, were in Kingman yesterday. The men had just come in from the mine, Mir. Mo Nair having returned from a trip to Phoenix, where he attended to busi- ness for the corporation, and had gone out to look over the company's hold ipgs.
 The Thumb Butte company has been incorporated to take over the mining property formerly held by the estate of the late A. B. Daniels. For this purpose company capitalized at $1,500,000 was organized in Delaware to be known as the Thumb Butte Gold Mining company, and composed of we'll known Los Angeles business men, vrhc are to finance the property and get it onto a pay basis as soon as possible. To do this the property is now being equipped with machinery and drift will be carriel off above the water level in the lla;n shaft and connection made with drifts from the ola shaft. Drifting will also be car ried along the vein and it is expected that a great mass of ore will be brought to view. The main shaft on the property is down 800 feet, but splendid ore was encountered n the ctosscut at the 300 level, where the new work will be undertaken. Sur face showings on the mine are eNcep- tionally good, values in excess of SIC being found everywhere in the out crop of the main vein.
 The development of. this proper..' means much to the mining district north of Oatman and will give inl- petus to operation of other properties.
