PROMINENT MINING MAN BUYS IN
 AT UNION PASS

One of the most important deals covering the acquiring of gold proper ties in this county was consummated at Kingman this week, c. M. Miller, of San Francisco taking over for him. self and associates, Moran Bros., of New York, railroad and mining inves- tors, and Wm. G. Robertson, Scranton, Pa., Mexican mining operator, an inn mense group of mining claims sur rounding the Katherine mine, at Union Pass. The group includes the Utah group, adjoining the Katherine, and consisting of six claims; a one half interest in the Catherine View on the northeast of that famous prop erty.
 A company is to formed to operate the properties and is to be known as the Katherine Extension. Mir. Miller, who has been looking over the ground the past several days, departed to San Francisco last Wednesday evening to arrange for immediate operation of the mines. The Katherine View claims are to be extensively developed, this property showing indications of responding magnificently to develop ment. During his visit here Mr Mil leS and associates went through the underground workings of the Rather inc and they were immensely impress ed with the vast resources of that property. The magnificent ore bodies that have been brought to light will surprise anyone, even though they are familiar with the big veins in other parts of the United States and Mex ico, but the one who looks into this property and does not come away inn pressed with these ore bodies will take no notice of the brilliant sunshine and golden streets of heaven when he re- spends to Gabriels horn.
 A we'll known mining engineer who visited the Katherine mine about a month ago has stated in a report the following: "The Katherine is down 400 feet, with levels every 100 feet, drifts along the vein on each level, crosscuts into the opposite wall every 50 feet, and the whole blocked out and sampled in the most workman like manner. In one level they have 1,sOO feet of drifting and are still in the ore shoot at each end-a most marvellous condition. The narrowest portion of the vein that came to my attention was 32 feet wide. From figures given me by the management and my own observation l estimate there is blocked out in that mine not less than $21 100000 in gold ore. It is indeed fit to be termed treasure house.n
 Just think of such a mine lying at our doors and never thought given to it's potentiality until some knowing mining operator from the outside com es in and grasps the conditions and gathers in the substance. That this new company has some of the poten- tial wealth that the Katherine shows in it's deep workings cannot be gain said. We know San Francisco peo- pie and we know that when they start they are "go-getters." That they have some of the cream of the district we feel assured and when they have a shaft down as deep as the Katherine and has explored it's ground to that depth we feel inclined to believe that another big winner will be brought in.
 Large outcrops of vein material show on the Katherine View claims and some values occur in the masses of rock that show along the surface, indicating the same general conditions that obtains in and along the mother lode.
