Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-12-09

The work of the Patterson leasers was finally broken in on by the driving of the Daisy tunnel, which entered the vein from new apex point, a suit tangling the ownership up until a compromise was affected, whereby the Moffitt company took over the in terests. All the other interests in the camp were likewise acquired until the holdings of the company amounted to several thousand acres of mineralized lands, or about A claims and many millsites. All of this property was patented, but no transfer was ever eff fected of the fee simple title to the English syndicate that took over the property from the Root -Moffitt inter- ests, although this company operated these properties for many years. The management of the mines was directly in the hands of men knowing nothing of mining, although one of the best known engineers in the Rocky Noun tain country was consulting engineer William Weston. MT. Weston never lost faith in the mines until the day of his death, but would have no intercourse with the people in control,

opened here than in any other part of the mine. Above this point there is a big outcrop of iron and manganese, which the old miners of that section took to indicate the presence of an ore body ,and in which view they were evidently correct. On the 200 level another virgin section of ground has been entered east of the fault that is very rich, horn silver showing throughout the vein. While this vein is smaller than at other points it makes up in the values contained. In the west drifts on both levels ore bod ies have been found, and in the raises important bodies of very rich ore has been broken into. One of the features that at all times made the ores of White Hills worth while aside from it's silver content was the gold contained in it's ores. The richest ore always carried gold values as high as $50 to the ton, and when silver went to low ebb in the metals markets it was this gold that made it possible for the miner to continue work. And gold is still found in the White Hills ores.
 The development of the G. A. R. mine
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-12-09

The great discovery of silver at White Hills in 1892 was epochal. The base metals mines of the county had almost ceased to operate, because of the low price of the metals, panic times, and other causes. Silver was almost out of commission as a money metal through the machinations of a coterie of men who would control a shorter money market. But no mat ter how the depression was brought about, not only was Mohave County hard hit, but the whole mining west was in the doldrums.
 And then came the discovery of great veins of silver and gold bearing ore at White Hills and the rush of people to the new Eldorado. The whole country for miles around was

and stopes carried from bottom to top for length of 500 feet, this being the largest single stope in the dis trict. The Prince Albert was stopped from the surface downward to several hundred feet below the floor of the Daisy tunnel. The leasers going in from the surface from each block of ground terraced the hill for long dis tances, the work having been carried to the north side, where the spur of Prince Albert vein formed part of the location of the Daisy. Mine dumps show far and wide, and every dump represented a vein that gave forth tonnages of rich ore, some of the out put being wonderfully rich.
 The G. A. R., the one mine that produced the big tonnage, which in

cation was staked on the ground ore
 began going smelterward and con-
 tinued during the first ten years of the life of the camp, hundreds of leas- CTS operating the various properties, while some of the larger mines passed into the hands of R. T. Root and D. H. Moffitt, of Denver, later being talk en over by an English corporation. Extravaganza was the rule in the op- eration of the mines by this corpora tion. After paying $1,75O,0OO for the main group of claims, the company immediately proceeded to the erection of large mill. Springs that had a small flow of water were further de- veloped and a pipe line seven miles in length was built to a large reser- voir above the mines. This line was

iron bound wooden pipes, six and eight inches in diameter, clamped to- gether and made as tight as possible. After enough water was finally open
 ed up to make the passage through the pipes into the reservoir, but about this time water was found in both the Norma and Schaefer Treasure properties, sufficient for milling and other purposes, so that the line from the springs was virtually abandoned This line cost in excess of $100,000.
 A mill of ten stamps capacity was erected at the G. A. R. mine, which was later displaced by the 40-stamp mill on the Occident. This latter mill was built by the McFarlanes of Den yer and was one of the best silver mills in the state, having every ap- pliance for the economic handling of
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-12-09

conjunction with the Occident, kept the mill supplied with ore, is situated
 to the north of the Prince Albert and close to the granite contact. It has
 been developed to the 9th level and the lateral work has been carried out into the adjoining claims. This vein is large and the ore body ran from two to six feet in width, the stopped ground showing far wider than this. It is in this new ground has been opened that indicates the importance of the prop erty. On the 400 level the east drift is now being driven into virgin ground in an ore body four feet wide that shows big silver values. This ore body is east of the fault and it is pos sible that a greater shoot ore will be

staked, from the summit of the Ger bat range to far down into Detrital valley, and from Dolings Springs on the south to the Colorado river on the north, and many were the impor- tant veins of mineral brought to light in that wide area.
 The discovery of the mines were made by Wallapai Indian known among the whites as Jeff. Jeff and his. kindred had long used the soft black manganese oxides for their war paints, and the yellow and red iron oxides forgala adornment,but in dig ging out these pigments Jeff picked up some float rock that he saw was rich in silver. The rock was taken to. Frank Robinson, cowboy miner, who saw nothing extraordinary in the rock and laid it one side, soon for
