BLACKBERRY MILL IS
 RUNNING VERY WELL

Last Thursday afternoon William Neagle was in Kingnan after sup plies and to attend to important bus mess affairs connected with the Hack berry Con. Mines company. He re- ports that the company had just ship ped another car of 40 tons of con centrates from the big mill. The mill is now running nicely and making a big production. It is expected that the plant will soon be running "A hour shifts and will handle approxi- mately 170 tons of ore daily.
 The company is now in position to begin the work of raising through to the surface on the north end cf the vein, where the big working shaft is to be located and the north end ore shoot opened. It is expected that this part of the vein will furnish wonder full body of ore, although the present ore body will keep the plant in mil. ore for year or more. The ore now going to the mill has high mill values and the concentrates going to the shelter are most desirable product.

SENATE SILVER MINE
 STRIKES RICH ORE

The shaft on the Senate Silver, at Blackberry, has reached a depth of over 80 feet and is now in excellent ore. Samples taken across 30 inches of vein gave results of from AS to 60 ounces silver. This is still in oxidized ground and with the driving of the shaft into the sulphide zone it is ex- pected that greater values will be en- countered. The shaft is going down rapidly on the vein, which is now showing increased width and gaining in value with every foot.
 The property of the Senate Silver joins the Blackberry Con. Mines on the south and the main working shaft is but few hundred feet from that of the shaft from which more than half a million dollars was taken in the early days of the camp. The ore shoot that was entered the other day is supposed to be the apex of the big shoot that was found farther to the north at a depth of 300 feet. While much of the ore bodies milled by the old Blackberry company in the years gone by was oxidized, the larger bod ies are in the sulphides. The sulphide zone will probably be reached before the 150 level is opened.

NcCRACKEN SILVER
 AND LEAD SHIPPING
 CONCENTRATES NOW

The first carload of 40 tons of con- centrates from the mill of the Nc Cracken Silver Lead Mines company was sent out from Yucca last Tues day to the shelter. This shipment was the first product of the dry con centrating mill and is said to be rich in silver and lead. The ores that pro duced the concentrates were sulphides and carbonates of lead and the pro duct will average about 70 per cent. The mill is doing splendid work and when run the full "A hours daily will keep a number of big trucks on the road hauling concentrates to the rail road. What the district really needs now is either hard surfaced high way or railroad to make the camp one of the most prosperous in the state. The roads were recently wash ed out and have not yet been repair ed to make haulage by truck satis- factory, but the management of the mines and mill are getting the ore to market, nevertheless.

COPPER QUEEN NURSE
 OBTAINS WORLD FAME

An address by Dr. Thomas Darling ton, Health Commissioner of New York City, before the Mining & Met allurgical Society of America, has brought to light the fact that two per sons, who have since attained world wide fame, were associated with the Copper Queen hospital at Bisbee in the early days when the hospital was first established.
 In his address, Dr. Darlington, who was surgeon for the Copper Queen in 1887, stated:
 "I do not know of any company Ia like to pay tribute to more than to the Copper Queen Company, for l don't know of any company which, even in the early days, took as much interest in its men as did the Cop per Queen. The Company built a very beautiful hospital and said to me, Get the best nurse you can.' l went to Bellevue Hospital and secured the on next to the head, Miss Jane>Delano' who died recently in France, a nurse, and the head of the Red Cross for years, who sent over eighteen thou sand nurses abroad. The best of ev- erything the Copper Queen always wanted, and I am glad of this oppor- tunity to say that even thirty years ago it did everything that it could do for it's men,"
 The revealing of the fact that the Copper Queen Hospital started its career under two such noted person ages as Dr. Darlington and Miss Jane Delano is an interesting bit of his tory, and speaks we'll for the calibre of people selected by the company in the early days.
 The recent death of Miss Delano was a great loss to the Red Cross, for it fell upon her to supervise the entire Red Cross nursing work III France and the allied countries. She left Bisbee in 1891 to become head o1 the training school for nurses at the University of Pennsylvania; later she became head of the training scnoo at the Bellevue Hospital, and since 1905 has been associated with the American Red Cross. Miss Delanc lhas attained more prominence in the nursing world than any other person.

SWANSEA RAILROAD
 ORDERED OPERATED

On an application from the mine owners of the Swansea country the State Corporation Commission has or dered the operation of the railroad be- tween Swansea and Bouse. This lit tie branch road was closed following the shutdown of the mines at Swansea and Planet when copper went below production costs, and did not resume operations when the mines started up again. The order allows the railroad until August 25 to repair it's roadbed and get its train service in operation. The mining interests are to advance the necessary money for repairs to roadbed and rolling stock.
 The mines of the Swansea district are capable of shipping large ton mage of ore to the outside smelteries and isolation by reason of non-oper- ation of the railroad is making the operation of the mines impossible. Good prices for copper ore under the old time contracts will make the min ing of the big ore bodies profitable.

WILL CONNECT RAISE
 WITH l5o FOOT DRIFT

The raise from the 150 level of the Twins mine of the Daisell company, at Cerbat is now within 10 feet of con meeting with the 90 foot shaft, and the mine force expect to break through scn.etime Monday. The 90 foot shaft was sunk in a good ore body and as soon as the connection is made fur ther work will be carried on at that point. The shaft is 400 feet west of the main working shaft and on the west end of the big ore shoot.
 The mine shows some splendid ore bodies throughout it's level and it is probable that further exploration to the west will prove the body to be far more extensive than has so far been disclosed.

ACTIVE OPERATIONS
 TO START ON COD.

After a thorough examination of the dumps of the c. O. D. mine w. w. Widdowson, consulting engineer for M. B. Dudley and associates, has con cluded to begin active operations on the property. The hoisting plant, boilers and pumping machinery has been tested and found capable of talk ing care of al operations on the prop erty until the installation of electric power. A road will probably be built from the end of the Wrigley road, cutting out the heavy haul by way of the old valley road, and the new machinery will be taken in that way.
 The c. o. D. has been one of the wonderful old properties of Mohave county, having earned the owners many hundreds of thousands of dollars and enriching number of leasers. The big tonnage of ore was taken from above the 300 level, no ore being extracted from the deepest level. Ow- ing to the low price of silver and lead and the necessity for new working shaft the property has been unwork- ed for number of years. The old shaft above the 100 level is almost closed, never having been large enough to carry other than the small est make of ore buckets. Some of the ground has caved in this shaft, but it is possible to clean it out and widen it to the necessary size for operation, or a new shaft may be sunk to the north of the present shaft, which would enter the vein at a depth of about 500 feet, getting below the old workings and unwatering the mine to that depth, allowing the extraction of ores from the old stopes at low ex- pense. Along the 300 level there is a wonderful body of ore that would pay big in mill. Very little of this ore has been touched, practically all ores being taken from the level above.
 The c. o. D. Mine should be one of the large producers of the county and under proper conditions will be sending out big tonnage when many ot the other mines are in the discard Messrs. Dudley and Widdowson made no mistake when they took over this property. George w. Schilling, at one time superintendent of the Yellow As ter mine, at Randsburg, is to have charge of the property. MT. Schill' ing is a most competent man and we believe he will make good in the de yelopment of the c. O. D.

MOSSBACK PURCHASES NEW
 CAR

Charles Burlock came down from Flagstaff Wednesday and departed again to that pleasant mountain city the following day, taking with him a new 7-passenger Buick car, purchased from the Old Trails Garage. This car will be used for the traffic of the Arizona Mossback Mines company between it's main office in Kingman and the mines at Silver Creek. While the mines have been temporarily clos ed owing to the labor differences in that field Mir. Burlock expected that operations would be resumed some time next week, the company keeping the lower levels of the property clear
 of water so that no time would be lost when work again is started

ARIZONA BUTTE HITS
 VEIN OF RICH SILVER

One of the best strikes of silver ore in the county was made a few days ago in the winze from the tunnel level of the Banner mine of the Arizona Butte property. The ore body was entered at depth of 50 feet below the tunnel level and about 250 feet below the apex of the vein. The winze was sunk on good body of lead ore, the average being about 30 ounces silver, $10 gold and 35 per cent lead, when a round of holes dis closed ore that will run into the hun dreds of ounces in silver and heavy in lead. Specimens from this strike are on exhibition at the offices of the company in Kingman and the shop of I. M. George. These specimens are beautiful wire silver with big masses of native plastered all over the rock. The ore also shows heavily in silver sulphide. The ore body is three feet in width and shows every evidence of permancy. The strike was made 1500 feet from the portal of the tunnel and in one of the heaviest mineralized parts of the big vein. Shipments are going out from this part of the prop erty daily, the big truck being unable to handle all the ore that is being produced.
 The Arizona Butte has it's big tun- mel in shape and will have three shifts at work on it by the first of the month. This bore will reach the/Ban- ner about 1000 feet below the present depth of that property.

NEW RURAL SHAFT
 GOING DOWN FAST

The two compartment shaft on the Rural mines is now down 25 feet and going down rapidly. This shaft is being sunk on the footwall part of the Buckeye vein and will be carried to depth of 500 feet. The footings and concrete foundation for the hoist and compressor has been put in and the machinery is expected here within short time from Denver. The mach inery consists of a big electrical hoist and an electrically driven compressor.
 The high tension line being strung into the camp and will be ready for use the latter part of next week. A big transformer building and trans formers are being put in that will safeguard operations against the us- ual electric storms that have caused some delay in other camps. The line is being reinforced from the main line below Mineral. Park and will be of capacity sufficient for all needs.
 A splendid wagon road has been built into the camp and everything possible done to facilitate operations when the big plant of machinery is in commission. A good crew of men are at work on the property and this crew will be largely added to as soon as the hoist is in place. A pumping plant is being installed in the old Buckeye shaft for the purpose of clearing it of water and making it easier to keep operations under way in the new shaft.

ROB COLORADO MINE

The Independent mill at the Victor gold mines, Cripple Creek, Colorado, was robbed of a large amount of auro- cyanides few nights ago. Bandits overpowered the watchman and made their escape with the cyanides. The auro-cyanides came from a half-day's run of the mill, the plant running but one shift daily. No trace of the men has so far been found, but as it is a hard proposition to dispose of gold in the form of precipitates we believe they will be captured.
