SENATE SILVER IN
 Al ORE BELOW 200

Sinking below the 200 level on the Senate Silver is disclosing splendid body of high grade milling material. The shaft is all in ore and it is prob able that this grade of ore or bet ter will be found to the 800 level or still lower. The showing is far better than the most sanguine expectations of the management and indicates that a very long ore shoot will be opened throughout the big vein on the prop erty.
 The work of sinking to the 800 will be carried forward with all dispatch and the exploration of the vein at that level carried hundreds of feet north and south. This property is in ex- cellent hands, A. G. Heating, the gen eral manager, looking for results from expenditure of money. So far he has shown that the property is all that the company expected and more.

SHIPPING ORE FROM
 ANTLER PROPERTY

Leasers on the Antler mine, be-. longing to the Commercial Copper company, one of the Phelps Dodge companies, have carload of rich cop per ore at Yucca station for shipment to the smelter. This ore was taken out the past few weeks and hauled by truck.
 The old Antler mine was purchased by the Copper Queen interests in the early eighties and was soperated by the company until copper became too low in the market to produce at a profit. At that time copper prices went below nine cents, at which price nearly all copper producers of the country were put out of commission The investments of the company be- came so much more important in other parts of the country that the county property was neglect ed, leasers being the only source of production. Many men have made nice little stakes from ore shipments from the Copper World and Antler since copper went over 20 ,ents.

GRAND CANYON COPPER MINE OPT|ONED BY KIRK

R. R. Kirk, who has been looking over the mining field in this county the past year, has taken an option on the Rdenour Grand Canyon copper mine, situated on the rim of the can- yon north of Yampai. This property has been operated since 1880 in a dis sultory way, many thousands of tons of ore being shipped from it to the smelters. The ore is very high in copper content, the average shipments being around 65 per cent of the red metal. The shaft stands at a depth of 300 feet and carried good values all the way from the surface.
 This Grand Canyon mine is one of the wonders of the Grand Canyon country, being several thousand feet above the river level. The vein com es up from the lime through 800 feet of sandstone, and disappearing under the heavy capping of that material to the north and south. Erosion car ried away this cap exposing the vein beneath and it is on this apex that the discovery was made and the work MT. Ridenour found the vein while scouting through that coun- ;ry and held it through all the years.

DIAMOND JOE ORE
 SOON TO BE N|LlfD

F. c. Bradshaw has force of men at work on the road over the mountain to Copperville and repairs have been made sufficiently to allow of the ready passage of automobiles and trucks. The road was almost destroy ed by the rains of the past several months and it will require large amount of work to bring it back to its normal condition.
 MT. Bradshaw is also getting mat ters shaped up at the mines and mill for the early starting up of the mill on Diamond Joe ore. The first pay ment on the options were made last Thursday and other payments will be made within the next few months. The new company is rather we'll if nanced and will be in shape to de- velop the mines to a depth of several hundred feet below the present level. The development of the ere bodies ought to create big ore reserve.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-11-08

and Pacific time was considered in making the locations. The country there is we'll mineralized, the exposur- es of copper being extensive. It is probable that other deposits will be found beneath the lime and other sed ementary cap rocks, but it will take time and considerable prospecting to bring it forth.
 Kingman people report having se- cured 35 claims on the reserve ovec which there cannot be dispute and are in on other properties that may be in dispute. w. K. Ridenour, who acted as the head of the Kingman party, is of the opinion that the property se- cured is of great importance. It was estimated that the copper showing in the outcrops and on the dumps had value of approximately $8OO,OOO net. This approximation was made by an engineer, it is said.
 Indians were called in and made many locations, the red men staying with their claims for some time back. Just what the status of the Indians will be held to be is yet to be decided by the Interior Department, which has to be applied to to give them proper standing in the matter of making min eral locations. Some of these Indians have gone into the Diamond Creek section, where they are said to have made locations on excellent copper outcrops.
 This week a big truck load of sup plies went out from Kingman to the new diggings and work is now being done to perfect the locations made. Many others are in the district pros- pecting for new ore bodies and be fore many weeks we may hear of the discovery of many important copper deposits, as we'll as veins of gold and silver. The country is not unknown, but there has not been great deal of prospecting there since the reserve was closed to the prospector.
 We believe that the Wallapai reser- vation is destined to become one of the most important mining sections of the state and that within the com ing year. Erosion has done much to bring to view the many deposits of that sectios and prospecting is made comparatively easy by reason of lack of debris.

TELLURIDE
 DRIFTING ON APEX

Miners and otbers interested in the Telluride are waiting expectantly for news of big strike in that property, under the impression that the drift is now being driven along the apex of the ore body. The drift has been in ore nearly 100 feet in this drift from the 800 level, which is being run to a connection with No. 2 shaft. In- dications point to the widening of the vein below the level, the floor showing considerably larger than the roof of the drift. The ore body is supposed to be on the Aztec vein, which re- gently opened a good ore body in the Tom Reed ground.
 The Telluride property is well if nanced and the management will car ry the work into the new ground as soon as connections between the two shafts have been made.
 Shares in the Telluride company hold steady on the exchange and the people holding the control are sitting tight. Small blocks of stock that were sold in the early days of the company are being gobbled up by the knowing ones, which indicates the faith that is held in the property at Oatman.

NO ASSESSMENT WORK REQUIRED THIS YEAR

The U. S. Senate Thursday last passed and sent to the president Res olution No. 241, suspending assess ment work on all mining claims in the United States, inclusive of Alaska, for the year 1919. The new bill was made necessary by the fact that under the other measure only five claims were relieved from work. The inter pretation of the law was varied. It was held in some cases that where a co-owner filed the required notice none of the other owners could .eXer- else their right to file notices on claims that they wanted to have re- ieved of assessment work. In the event that a man held shares in mining company and the company fil- ed on five claims he could not file on personal claims. It was held that this was ineqnitable and therefore the framers of the former bill agreed to the law in its present form, which al- lows the suspension to become total on the proper filing. The bill has the ap- proval of the Interior Department and there is no doubt of the president at taching his signature to it. The law become effective at once.
 The passage of this measure has great interest to this section of the state on account of the vast number of mining claims held by men who are financially unable to look after their interests and also due to lack of min ing laborers. This is the third time mines have been relieved of the annual assessment work, measure having been passed by congress in 1917 to protect the claims of soldiers and an other the rights of others. These measures extended over 1918, filings being required by the non-soldier each year, the other holding on one filing until six months after being discharg- ed from army duty.

DEVELOPMENT IS TO BE
 RESUMED ON SILVER JACK

Jack Empey, who has been looking after the financing of the Silver Jack Mining company, arrived in Kingman Wednesday last. The mines are soon to be put inshape for development, a camp being established and the work of driving the tunnel into the vein pushed with greater energy. The company is to be reorganized and a number of men capable of financing the project are to take an active in- terest in it.
 The mines are in the high Walla- pals, one of the claims being the old Hibernia or Hope. There is an ex- cellent group of silver bearing lodes in the estate and we believe with rightly directed development work it will be- come good producer of high grade. T. J. Sparks is also interested in the development of the company.

UNITED AMERICAN
 WILL DRIFT ON 300

The shaft of the United American has reached a depth of 300 feet and a station is being cut. A drift is to be carried off at this point to a con nection with the Aztec vein and some exploratory work carried on. At the same time the shaft will be driven to the 800 level as fast as possible and the main exploration of the vein system carried on from that depth. It is the impression that better re- suits will be obtained from the deep level and it is with this view that only small amount of lateral work will be carried on until the 800 is reached. Stringers have been coming in and it is with view of lining up the veins that crosscut is being driven from the 300.

Ordering a Dinner

A stylishly dressed woman entered the restaurant. The waiter handed her bill of fare written in French, and said: "Please mark off the dish- es you wish to order"
 Could woman dressed in the height of fashion confess that she was unable to read French? Taking the pencil she made few dashes and the order read: "Dinner, $1.00. "June 20." Vegetables" "Please pay at the desk" "No tips"
 The waiter brought her a dinner of steak and otatoes.-Pittsburg Chron- icle Telegraph.

He Insisted

In crowded omnibus a stout lady vainly endeavored to get her fare out of the pocket of her cloak, which was tightly buttoned as protection against pickpockets. After she had been trying without effect for some minutes, a gentleman seated on her. right said: "Please allow me to pay your fare:" The lady declined with some anger, and renewed her attacks on the pocket. After some little time the gentleman again said: "You really must let me pay your fare. You have already undone my braces three times, and I can't stand it any longer"- Efficiency Magazine.

New Use for a Quarantine Sign

During an epidemic in a small Southern town every infected house was put under quarantine. After the disease had been checked, an old negress protested vigorously when the health officers started to take down the sign on her house.
 "Why, Auntie," exclaimed the off cer, '"why don't you want me to take it down?''
 "Well, sah," she answered, "dey ain ben bill-collectah neah dis house sence dat sign went up. You-all let it alone!"-Harper's Magazine.

AND AGAIN THE FARMER WINS

A Spanish engineer has invented substitute for coal. This new fuel is manufactured from straw and IS said to develop more heat units than either coal or wood ,and leaves an ash that is good for fertilizing mater ial. It will be seen that hereafter it will not be necessary to go to Cali fornia to gather corral dust.
