VISIT THE OATMAN
 AMALCAMATED MINE

Charles Proknow, Ed. Whipple John R. Raley and Fred Hensing, of Flagstaff, accompanied by Etienne A. Ritter, the we'll known Colorado Springs mining engineer, arrived in Kingman Thursday last on their way to the Oatman Amalgamated mines, west of Goldroad. MT. Ritter is the consulting engineer of the company and is here to let contract for the fur ther development of the property of the company.
 The Oatman Amalgamated mines are situated at point where the Tom Reed vein system and that of Gold Road converge and it is the belief of many mining engineers that the possibility for encountering large ore bodies in the property are good. A large amount of work has already been done on the mines, which have been we'll equipped with machinery. Further development vii be in the way of going deeper to intersect the big veins below the 500. This work is expected to be under way by the 18th of this month.

Dr. .Ettienne A. Ritter, the noted Mining Engineer of Colorado, arrived at Kingman Thursday, and accom- panied by Will H, Holcomb, Pres ident of the Arizona Mossback, inn mediately proceeded to that property, where Dr. Ritter spent two days in an examination of the Mossback and surrounding country. Dr. Ritter re- turned to Denver Friday evening.
 He expressed himself highly satis- fled with what he saw there, and pre- diets a great future for the Oatman district. MT. and Mrs Holcomb who delayed their trip East to return here with Dr. Ritter, leaving today for the coast, where they will remain for a few days, thence to go to NeNe York City, and other eastern points, with a view to negotiating for some very large improvements to be made in the properties of the Arizona Mcssback. General Manager, Charles H.. Bnrlock states that he will have two shifts working to complete the 700 foot crosscut on the Mossback, within a week or ten days.

RURAL AND BUCKEYE
 INSTALL MACHINERY

The Rural and Buckeye mines are now connected up with the big power line from the plant of the Desert Pow CT and Water company at Kingman and as soon as the new machinery has been gotten in place the work of un- watering the Buckeye mine will be under way. An 800-cubic foot com pressor, hoist and other machinery has gone out to the mine and is being, in stalled. The cement bases have been cast and are in readiness to receive the machinery. {
 The new shaft, which is to be the main working shaft on both Rural and Buckeye, has reached depth of 70 feet, this work having been carried on by hand to this point. Beginning next week the new hoist will be in

RICO CONT|NUES.10 10
 SHOW RICH ORE

The drift on the, 300 level of the Rico mine has reached a distance of 70 feet on the vein and shows wonder ful ore in the breast. This ore body was encountered a short distance west of the shaft. A contact with schist and granite was found between which splendid body of silver-gold ore was developed. Some of this ore carried values better than $1,0OO in gold and silver, the gold showing in the base metals. The vein at one point was s feet wide, large part of which car- ried good values. Lenzes of immen- sely rich ore is being opened all along the vein and these lenzes indicate wonderful possibilities for long dis tance on this level. Farther east ore shows in the old shaft and indications are that ore bodies exist throughout that area. This shaft is about 900 feet east of the present workings

SEPTEMBER IS. BIG
 MONTH FOR HUMB0LT

The month of September was a prosperous one for the Humboldt smell ter, which shipped to the refineries 600,000 pounds of fine copper and also produced largely in silver and gold. The Desota and Blue Bell mines ship ped to the Humboldt Reduction works 12,000 tons of raw ores during the month. The concentrator handled 1900 tons of material, while the smell ter treated 1000 tons of concentrates and raw ores.
 The Humboldt smelter is now pur- chasing largely of Mohave county ores and is offering very good inducements to producers. While it is not the only shelter in the state making purchases of domestic ores it is, the nearest and it's rates are better, if anything, than the other plants.

CARLOAD OF HIGH GRADE SHIPPED FROM
 THE FOUNTAIN HEAD

A. c. Goodwill, who has lease and option on the Fountain Head mine at Stockton Hill, from A. c. Lake, has just shipped to the shelter carload of high grade lead ore. Another car of ore is about ready to send to the smelter and will probably go forward next week. MT. Goodwill reports that the mine is showing up splendid ore bodies and that the drifts are being run on excellent material.
 The Fountain Head is one of the large veins of the Stockton Hill coun- try, having a width of fully 80 feet between walls. Many large bodies of ore have been found between these walls and the belief among miners of that section is that with large de- the mine is sure to prove a bonanza. MT. Goodwill has driven a tunnel into the vein, getting about 125 feet below the outcrop. This tunnel is now being advanced in the ore body with excellent results.

STEFFY MILL SOLD
 TO LOCAL COMPANY

This week the Thompson-Dudley Machinery company purchased the mill, machinery and mining ground belonging to the Steffy mill company, at Chloride, with exception of small portion of the machinery, which was purchased for the interest of Emil Nathan by Tom l.. Gibson. The Thompson-Dudley company is to allow the mill buildings to remain, but ex- pect to sell off the machinery as fast as buyers appear. The machinery ir all practically new, the mill having hardly been turned over. The engines and motors are in first class condition and the mill building is complete and would be worth considerable to any company contemplating the erection of a, similar plant.
 The Steffy mill was erected about year ago, but owing to the fact that the company had practically no devel- opment of their mines and there being no ore available in quantity suitable to the method to be employed the mill was not operated.

GOOD BODY OF ORE
 BROKEN INTO BY DIANA

In sinking the shaft of the Diana mine below the 200 level body of ore was broken into that may give the property better standing in the Chloride section. While it was impos- sible to make a thorough examination on account of the large volume of water encountered some broken ore was taken out that is very rich, be- ing full of native and ruby silver. The shaft entered this ore body on it's rake to the north and the manage ment expects to bring in one of the good mines of the county.
 The Diana mine is situated at Chlo- ride in one of the best mineralized sec tions of that camp. In the olden days it produced largely from surface ores and was always believed to be splen- did property. A few, years ago it was taken over by other interests and new shaft sunk on the main vein, some distance from the old works. While no high grade was encountered in sinking to the 200 it was quite cer- tain that ore would be encountered at greater depth. The property only re- gently passed into the hands of the present operating company.

CYCLOP|C MILL NOW
 HANDLES 50 TONS DAY

Supt. Humphreys, of the Cyclopic mines, was a Kingman visitor this week, having come in from that prop, erty to get some repairs for the big rolls. He reports that the mill has been handling 50 tons of ore daily and that two men were breaking all the ore that the mill handled and were putting away a big reserve. The plant is to be increased to 150 tons daily capacity as soon as tankage is received. The crushing capacity of the mill will meet the new demands. The ore has to be crushed throdgf about ten screen and the recovery in the tanks is very high only about 70 cents remaining in the tails, the heads averaging about $7.
 This week shipment of auro-cy- anides was made that averaged very high. The mill will be in position to make it's own bullion as soon as the new equipment is received, which will do away with the handling of d k,rge amount of zinc in the shipments.
 The mine is in splendid shape, there being large tonnage of broken ore in the stopes and large ore bodies opened up. The ore runs from $4 to SIP to the ton.

The shaft of the United American has reached depth of 190 feet and is going down at the rate of five feet daily. Some very hard ground was encountered the past week, but it is expected that better ground will be entered soon and faster time will be made. Within three months the shaft will be at the 800 level and drif $ and crosscuts started.

between the Red Sox and local team gotten up in San Francisco.
 The Wright ooys were the best in the game in those days, Harry Wright who was captain of the Reds, and his brother, George. Harry wore side burns, or "mutton-chops", and George wore a beard.
 The catcher, Allison, had' bat about fourteen inches long. He used only one hand to smash the ball out to left field or anywhere.
 The pitcher was an under handed artist, as he heaved the ball over much the same as a cricket player does. (Abie and the rest of the "Kingman Tarrantulas" could have hit this guy.)
 All the players were the same as to-day in two respects though, they wore Red Sox and they had an awful habit of winning. l
