STARTS
 TWO COMPARTMENT
 : SHAFT SOUTH SLOPE

The new management of the Tellu- ride Mining and Milling company is starting new two-compartment shaft on the south slope of the butte, some distance below the present shaft and is to equip it with a new 4O- horse power gasoline hoist. Work is to be carried on in the north shaft and an effort made to locate what is believed to be the main Tom Reed vein. The road to the mine has been reconstructed and new road built into the lower end of the property. The property was originally financed by local people and large amount of money spent in effort to locate the ore body. Since the tracing, out of the ore bodies on the Tom Reed the com pany believes that it will now be pos .sible to trace out the faults through the Telluride and possibly get a line on the ore dispositions in the big vein. The property is ideally situated for mining and mining men have full con- fidence in the opening of ore bodies in the ground controlled by the cam pay. IL ,...-....,' Ai-,

OLD FAY MINES SOLD,
 H.A. HAMNE PURCHASER

, E. c. Bradshaw and wife, accom- panied by Emelie B. Brown, came in from Hamme camp last Wednesday evening. During the past few days Mir. Bradshaw has been examining the old Fay mines, near Boulder Springs, as well as the little mill erected there on by New York people. H. A. Ham, me has an option on the property and it is expected that the mill will be remodeled under MT. Bradshay's dir ection and the developed ore extract ed and milled. The ore in the mine has value of about $40 per ton, but the pay streak is not large, although showing a continuous vein for a long distance on the surface, and an un- broken body of ore in the workings.
 The property is about seven miles south of Kingman and in an accessible part of the broken hills that come down from the Wallapais. The ore body lies on the granite, the hanging wall being andesite. The. vein has been opened in many places along the contact and some wonderfully rich ore extracted.

ADAMS MINING co:
 GETTING READY FOR >~:DEVEl0PMENTW0Rk

:, The Adams Mining Company, at Oatman, is getting shaped up for campaign of development on it's prop 'erty. The road to the camp is com pleted and the. unwatering of the drifts is under way. These drifts have been under water the past year and as a consequence there are a number of caves to be caught up, .af- ter which drifting will be carried both ways on the vein. A raise will also be carried up on the ore shoot that was opened before the shutdown. The company is in an excellent pos ition to carry on a large amount of work and the eiproperty is one of the most inviting propositions in that part of the district. Good people are at the head of affairs and we may expect something good from present develop ment at aRy time. E

THUMB BUTTE IS NOW OPERATING

The past ten days B. w. Brooks, the we'll known mining engineer, spent in the examination of the Thumb Butte mines and mapping out the method to be pursued in the develop ment of the properties. He was as- sisted in the work by Robert H. Mah com, general manager and Henry Johnson, superintendent. They made a complete investigation of conditions at the mine and estimates of neces- sary equipment. MT. Brooks has been retained by the company as con- sulting engineer and MT. Johnson will be superintendent in charge. MT. Johnson is we'll known in this county, as well..a Mexico, as careful mine manager, having had wide experien- ce in the development of mining prop erty. r.
 E. H. Tennant, the we'll known Kingman contractor, is at the camp erecting engine house and other necessary buildings. This work will be completed shortly. , The machinery has been purchased from Tarr, McComb &I Ware com mercial company, of Kingman and will be installed at once, the found ations being already cast and ready to receive the hoist and compressor
 The directors of the company are Thomas B. Cook. of Cooksburg, Pa. president; R. H. Malcolm, New York vice president and general manager c. B. Manville, founder of the well known firm of asbestos manufac' turers known as the H. w. Johns Manville company, is a director, ano one of the largest stockholders; pr A.

GREATEST SINCE CON- . STOCK IS T0N0PAH
 NEW DIVIDE DISTRICT

Old timers who worked in the Com- stock and other big mines of Nevada are anxiously scanning the papers for more and later news from the wonderful strikes in the Divide dis trict, between Tonopah and Manhat- tan, Nevada. While work has been going on in this camp the past year little is really known of it. Pros pectors have been finding rich ore in that. region, but it was not until short time ago that he big ore body was opened in the Tonopah Divide, one of the Brougher- Wingfield promo. tions. This mine has opened an enor- nous body of ore on the 300j the vein being more than 40 feet wide and the ore averaging $9S silver. On the 400 drift heading is in $2600 ore. On the 500 a station is now being cut. The other properties close in are; the Gold Zone, Brougler Divide Extension, Gold Reef, Sutherland, and Silver State. The Gold Zone is the deepest property of the district at the present time and is showing some very good streaks ofo Drifting is being car i! tl | Continued Oh Page ?

cR0S$|cUT, ON THE,
 LEXINGTON CAUSES ' EXCHANGE INTEREST

This week the flattering upturn of the Lexington shares on the Los An geles exchange caused considerable excitement in Oatman, where a good bunch of the shares are held, and es- pecially as it indicated the trend of public opinion regarding Oatman. The stock was called on the Los An geles exchange only. little over a week ago at 15 cents and advanced to 2S cents,
 The operation of the Lexington and it's desirable showing on the 250 level, whence crosscut is being driven in- to the big vein, is the prime cause of the stir in it's shares. The company is now hooking up with the electric lines from Kingmah and as soon as the pumps are connected with the juice the work will be carried on with much greater rapidity. Stringers that have been cut in driving the crosscut would indicate that the vein ought to carry exceptionally good val ues at the point of intersection. As considerable water has been coming in as the crosscut progressed it was thought advisable to install the cleo tric pump before the casing of the

CAR ORE SHIPPED
 BY THE DOROTHY

The Dorothy mine, at Chloride, for merly the Rough Rider, has just ship ped a 5O-ton car of ore to the smelter, the ore being taken from winze that is being sunk from the adit drift. The winze has only reached a depth of 23 feet, but the ore is five feet wide and is practically all of ship ping grade. The drift has been car ried in on the ore body 125 feet, there being no barren spots in the whole length. From this drift two cars of ore have been shipped that averaged 59 ounces silver and $5 gold. The mine now presents the appearance of one of the best things Chloride has.
 The Dorothy is owned by w. P. Turner and J. c. Clark. These men are developing the property as fast as possible and believe they have one of the best bets in camp. The amount of ore taken from the small openings indicates what may be expected of it when it is developed to depth.

GOLD DUST MINE AT
 0ATNAN CR0SSCUT-
 ING 800 FOOT LEVEL

The Gold Dust Mining company re- gently secured the services of H. E. Davis, a geologist, who has made a thorough examination of the com pany's mines, at OatmanS and under his direction a crosscut from the 800 level toward what he believes to be the mineralized vein that the company lost on the 30O The impressions of mining men was that the Gold Dust vein had faulted, the vein carrying the values going off into the other wall of the vein. This theory is af- firmed by MT. Davis and the crosscut that is now under way will either con- firm or disprove it.
 The Gold Dust was operated by the late Dan S. Richards for A. L. White, of Ohio, and about half million dol lars, spent in mine and mill. While. good milling ore was opened above the 300 level nothing was found on the 500 and as the ore bodies were not thought of enough importance to op- crate such large milling plant prof itably the machinery and equipment was sold, MT. White removing the larger machines to the Ben Harrison mine, at Baker City, Oregon. Before dismantling the property MT !. Rich ards tried to get the principal owner to have an examination made of the faults and to drive crosscut to as- certain whether the ore body existed below the 300. This request was re- fused. Since that time the property has gone into the hands of the present owners, who. have again equipped it and with view of developing the known ore bodies. Many thousands of tons of milling ore is opened in the property, which would net a>good sum of money in a moderate sized mill, while the other properties of the com pany also have good ore bodies. We feel that further development will bring to light ore of milling grade and of such importance that it will warrant the rehabilitation of the old mill. /

MOSSBACk SINKING 10 700 FOOT LEVEL

The main shaft of the Arizona Mossback Mines company has been cleared of water and debris and the work of sinking to the 700 foot level will soon be under way. A ,slight cave in the shaft below the 404 level has been caught up and the shaft put in first class shape. The machin- cry has been overRauled and every thing put in the best possible condi- ton for the work of sinking to the new level. .-.'
 In the drift on the 400 the cross cut was carried through the vein 240 feet without encountering as wall. This ore is of good mill values through out. If the new level proves as good as the 400 the mine will be a world beater.

SALE, OF CYCL0lP|c ! { MINE ANNOUNCED

Thomas Bell this week took posses sion of the Cyclopic mine, which he purchased from S. c. Bagg, paying the full cash price for the property. It is the intention of the new owner to at once remodel the milling plant and operate it with three shifts of men. The mine is being put in shape to produce sufficient ore to keep the mill in operation and it is probable that additional capacity will be ad- ded to the plant. At the present time the mill has only tankage capacity for 75 tons daily, but this can be read fly added to, or the pachuca system put in, which would reduce the time required to make full extraction. The ore is more susceptible to cyanide treatment that any ore in the Gold Basin district, the gold content in the rock being recovered from coarse crushing to "a high percentage.\ A mill that would handle a tonnage of twenty or thirty tons of ordinary ore will crush 75 tons of Cyclopic to prop CT mesh for treatment5 MT.

[. ". GROVE SHIPS
 CARLOAD OF ORE

E. w. Grove and associates shipped a carload of ore from their mining claim in the gold basin section, last week, the shipment being hauledNinto Blackberry and forwarded to the Ell Paso smelter.
 The ore was taken from vein upon which considerable work has been done by the owner and several car loads have. already been sent out The ore is heavy in lead and carries gold and silver values as well. Other shipments will follow as rapidly as developments may warrant.
 The ore shipped from this property is very much unlike the ore produced in the Gold Basin field, although some lead has been, found in other quarters of the district.

LAZY BOY LET'S
 50oFO0T CONTRACT

The Lazy Boy Mining company, which has been waiting for the reviv- al of mining interest in the Oatma1i field, has just let contract for 800 feet of crosscuts and drifts on it's property. It is estimated that this work will carry development beneath the point where the best ore shows on the surface. The surface showing of this vein was considered one of the best in the district and it is to be hop ed that the vein when picked up will fulfill the most sanguine expectations of the shareholders.
