T0N0PAH MEN TAKE
 OVER ESTALFAh MINE

R. H. Downer, H ID. King and H. F. Clark, of Tonopah, Nevada, have taken over the Estaleah- Cerbat Silver Mining company for the Columbia Di- vide Mining company, and will begin operations on the properties of that company at Cerbat. The Columbia Divide is the owner of mining prop erty at Gold Mountain, six miles from Tonopah. The new company expects to do extensive development work on the new property in the way of drift ing and sinking.
 The property was recently taken over from J. H. Kane by Barney Harmson and associates, who organi- zed the Estaleah Cerbat Silver Min ing company and did quite an amount of development on the property. The mines lie in the basin and on the ridge in the upper part of Cerbat. In the years gone by these veins produced considerable lead-silver ore from shal- low workings and the opinion among miners who know is that more eX- tensive development will bring in a big producer. The writer at one time had lease on part of this estate and shipped ore that ran 6S per cent lead, $3O gold and about 35 ounces silver from it. The ore streak was about IS inches wide and the ground ideal for mining. Other veins in the group are much larger than this and it is prob able that some of them will develop large bodies of good shipping ore.
 The new company is we'll financed and it is probable will map out a big development campaign.

SMALL VEIN CARRIES
 $l6,000 GOLD VALUES

Robert E. Zuver, who has large min ing interests in the Gold Road and Sil- yer Creek sections of San Francisco mining districts, is in Kingman. He reports that he was called upon to look over the recent strike of ore on the.o old Pittsburg road and found it to be fully as good as reported. The To- cation of the discovery is six miles south of Franconia and eleven miles east of Topock. A small vein carries values of over $16,000 gold and 48 ounces silver, while the large vein shows good milling values in the out crop for long distance. MT. Zuver sampled the vein and submitted the property to a large operating com pany and expects that something will be done right away. The mine is well situated, being only about six miles from the railroad and in the low foot hills of what is known as the Need les mountains. The vein is a virgin lode, there being no evidence of pick ever having been stuck in it until the Nevada party made the discovery.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR BLACKBERRY CON.

Last Monday arrangements were completed for the further financing of the Blackberry Consolidated Silver mines, James Murray coming here from Butte, Montana, and G. s. Holm es and wife coming from Los Angeles to complete the arrangements. Will liam Neagle, superintendent of the property and large owner in it, was also here taking part in the confer ence. The mine is now to be develop ed to an extent that will enable the operation of the mill on a three shift a day basis. The new shaft, which was agreed upon as necessity, some time ago, will now be put through to the surface from the 800 level and will be used as main development shaft, the other shaft being used for the eX- traction of ore.
 The Blackberry mine is now send ing out a considerable tonnage of high grade ore from the 400 level to the shelter. This ore carries above $2O0 per ton and the ore streak is very large.

VIRGIN DOME co.
 IS STILL DRILLING

The we'll of the Virgin Dome Oil company, situated on the dome of the big anticline at Purgatory Flat, east of St. George, Utah, is now down 670 feet, but work is not carried on wig orously. It is reported that the big string of tools parted from the cable, a few weeks ago, and the operators have had to await the arrival of fish ing tools. The weight of the tools is about $500 pounds, which makes their picking up with the ordinary fishing tackle to be quite, job. Casing was showed down within short distance of the bottom of the hole and when the tools broke away from the cable they inclined over under the casing. As they are raised they cannot be freed from the casing or brought into the hole. The superintendent of opera tions believes with his new tools that no difficulty will be encountered in securing the big string of tools and again getting to work on bringing the we'll in. Biologists have inclined to the belief that this we'll will encounter the sands at a depth of 900 feet. George J. Graham, who is at the heat of the company, is in Salt Lake in the interest of that concern.

D|SCOVERER OF GOLD BUG FARMING IN UTAH

Tom Sterling, one of the discover CTS of the Gold Bug mine, situated in Weaver mining district, this county, and who sold his interest for a large sum of money, is the owner of large farm at Leeds, Utah. Tom is still in terested in mining, being very much concerned about the old Silver Reef mines. He would like to return to this county to again take up mining, but is unable to give up his large farm and cattle interests.
 When the Gold Bug mine was dis covered it created quite an excite ment in the Black Canyon range and many other properties that are now being held there were located. A large amount of rich ore was sent out from the property prior to it's pur- chase by banker of Colorado Springs Colorado, for sum said to be $52,000. This purchase was made for cash, or approximately cash, as all the money was paid down within month or so after the deal was made. The mine has been developed to the 800 level, but the vein was found to be badly faulted and little systematic effort has been made to trace out the faults Undoubtedly with good engineering ability future development ought to bring to light a good gold producer.

SENATE SILVER MINE OPENS SPLENDID ORE
 ON THE 300 LEVEL

That the Senate Silver mine, at Blackberry, is fast progressing into a producer is evidenced by the opening of a four foot ore body on the 300 level that carries high grade mill values. The shaft has been carried down close to the ore body and at each 100 feet of depth drifts have been carried off to get line on the ore possibilities. In this way it has been proven that the ore body ex- tends from the surface to the present level. It is on the 400 level that the big and rich ore body was found in the property of the Blackberry Con. Silver Mines, which level is cotermin- ous with that of the 300 of the Senate The 400 level of the Blackberry is pro ducing ore that carries from 200 to 300 ounces silver and some lead and is being shipped to the shelter with out being put through the mill. This ore body is three feet thick in it's smallest place and ranges to nine feet in width. The ore opened on the 800 level gives evidence of increasing greatly in width as the development is carried toward the north. The fact that operation on the property are carried below the big ore body that was removed from the outcrop many years ago predicates a greatly improv- ed ore body when the permanent change has taken place. The fact that the Blackberry Con. Silver mines have held their values to the deepest level and that the Senate is following suit is giving great satisfaction to the management.
 The management started operations about the first of July and installed its machinery, built roads and most comfortable camp buildings and then carried their operations to the present level in record time. Its works are contiguous to the Blackberry, which has been producing largely since last March, and the ore bodies are charac- teristic of the big vein. sThe manage ment is all that could be expected of any mine management, the best re- suits being obtained for the smallest expenditure of money. A look into the property will convince the know ing ones that this is real property with great potentialities for ore pro- duction.

MAY DR|LL| FOR,0|L
 ON THE COLORADO

That a test well may be sunk in the Cottonwood Valley of Mohave county seems now to be a foregone conclusion, P. J. Mcintyre and asso- ciates having secured large acreage there and are now making preparation to bring in rig with which to do the drilling. If oil exists in that locality it is probable that it will be found at shallow depth, as the contour of the country precludes great depth for the sedimentaries. Mir. Mcintyre and Senator Mayfield, associated with oth- CTS, are at the head of affairs and MT. Mcintyre has been over the ground with a view to getting line on the best point at which to drill the initial well. The Cottonwood Val ley is about 30 miles west of Chloride, |, on the Colorado river. A number of promising ranches have been located there and within short time it will be prosperous farming community, which would be greatly expedited should oil be found there.

RIG ORDERED WITH WHICH TO DRILL IN
 CHLORIDE

The rig with which to start drilling for oil on the Colorado river, has been ordered and will probably be on the ground, ready for erection, within "a week. It is being shipped from Las Vegas, New Mexico.
 The prospective oil district, which is called the Chlorfde-Kerwin field, is a few miles out of Chloride. As an- nounced in last weeks paper the new we'll is being financed by Mohave county people with the hopes that a test we'll will prove up an oil field.
 Actual drilling should be started within the next two or three weeks.

30 INCHES OF ORE
 AVERAGING $30 TON

The drift on the 300 level of the Telluride mine, at Oatman, is now in ore that carries values of $3O per ton and has width of 30 inches. The new ore body has shown improve ment from the time it was struck and so far shows a length of better than 100 feet. It is believed that this ore body will become one of the most i'm portant in the field. It is the first real strike in the property and the management is jubilant over its pos abilities. The shares of stock in the company have gone from approximat- ely 20 cents per share to 2S cents and it is probable that the shares will take a flight to one dollar.

PRESIDENT SIGNED
 SUSPENSION BILL

President Wilson has affixed his signature to the bill suspending as sessment work on lode claims for the year 1919. The old bill which sus- pended work on five claims to each person was found to be valueless on account of the ruling of the depart ment that no matter how small the in- terest might be in a claim the owner thereof was bound by it. In conse- quence a man might own in a few claims with another, but wanted to have his other holdings protected and found when he went to the recorders office that the other fellow had fore stalled him. and that he would have to do all his work on the holdings. The new law obviates this by exempting all claims on which filings fhay be made showing the intention of the owner to hold. But it must be re- membered that this exemption goes only to lode claims, placer or oil claims not coming under the law
 Oil claims and placer claims of all kinds will have to do annual work to hold them. We have been requested to give our opinion regarding the op- eration of the law and would call the attention of claim owners to the pro vision of section 2324 of the revised statutes of the United States, which relates absolutely to annual labor on lode mining claims, oil and placer claims coming under another statute.

CONSOLIDATED ARIZONA
 SIMPLIFYING COMPANY

The Consolidated Arizona Smelling company shipped to it's reduction works at Humboldt from the DeSota and Blue Bell mines, during the month of November, total of 12,100 tons of ore. The concentrator handled s. 800 tons of material and the shelter treated 7,400 tons of new metal bear ing ores and concentrates during the month. Shipments of fine copper in bullion to the eastern refineries amounted to 67O,OO0 pounds, of which over 5OO,0O0 pounds was derived from ores mined from the properties of the company.

UNITED AMERICAN
 OPENS VEIN ON 300

The crosscuot from the 300 level of the United American has opened a large vein, although the values are not high enough to excite attention, 1t is the belief that drifting may bring good ore into view. Small stringers that show gold has been cut through a large area of ground and greater naturalization is expected before the vein area is broken through. The work is being carried on with all rapidity and the side lines of the clam will be reached sometime this month. Sinking will be resumed as soon as the Aztec vein is encountered.

UNITED EASTERN
 BULLION SHIPMENT

Last Saturday William Flanigan brought in the regular tri-monthly shipment of bullion from the United
 Eastern mill. It is said that this shipment was unusually valuable. The United Eastern, it is understood, will hereafter pay quarterly dividends instead of monthly, as at present. This payment of quarterly dividends will be in line with all old line mining corparotions and wwill greatly reduce office work. The United Eastern div idend payments are larger than any other mining company in the country, and the shares ordinarily ought to be worth $10, taking dividends as basis.

DEVELOPMENT ON LARGE
 SCALE FOR AMALCAMATED

Charles Prochnow, of Flagstaff, a large owner in the Oatman Amalgam- ated mining company, passed through Kingman early this week on his way to that property. It is understood that the mine is soon to be operated in large way. The superintendent has built nice residence at the mines and is fitting up the property for a long campaign. The Amalgamated lies to the west of Gold Road and the north of Oatman, where the Gold Road and Tom Reed lodes are believed to converge. Some good ore has been opened in the former works, the shaft having ben carried to depth of 800 feet. It will be carried still deeper and the main veins of the group open ed through lateral work from the deep level

BIG SLUMP IN POUNDS

The other day the English pound sterling was quoted on the market at $3.3S, having receded from the high price of $4.88 last year. The English pound is based on practically the same dollar value as the American, but the ability of the government to meet its obligations is the basis of all out standing money of a government, and the huge debt of the British is one cause of its money depreciation.

The report is current that the Mid way Moss Mining Company, holding a good acreage of mining ground con- tiguous to the National group, of the Arizona Mossback, in the Silver Creek section, has secured ample finances and that operations vii soon be under way on the property. The mines of the company show big outcrops and evidences of naturalization

NEW YORK MEN VISIT
 RURAL-BUCkEYE MINE

Last Sunday Samuel Veil, Samuel Rabinovich and Milton Gross, of New York City, arrived in Kingman on a tour of inspection of their interests in the Rural and other mining property at Mineral Park. They have spent the greater part of the week looking over the mines and are thoroughly satis- fled with their investment.
 The old shaft on the Buckeye has been cleared of water and debris and the work of drifting east and west on the vein is being carried on. This drift is to be carried into Rural ground, where the vein at that depth will be opened and the ore blocked out. The force of miners will be increased thirty or forty men as fast as room can be made for them and the stopes opened throughout the old works, as we'll as in the newly opened ground. So far more ore has developed and of a better milling grade than was ex- pected. The new shaft is to be con- tinued 25O feet below the present level and the further exploration of the property conducted through that open ing.
 The Rural and Buckeye, as we'll as the other holdings of the company are sure to make good with the develop ment mapped out. A mill is to be erected as soon as the ore is well blocked, plans already having con- gealed regarding the character of the treatment process to be installed.
