ALUMINIUM PRODUCTION

The value of primary aluminium produced in the United States in 1920, according to the reports received by the U. s. Geological Survey, Depart ment of the Interior, was $41, ,375, ,000, as compared with S38, ,000 in 1919. This increase of approximately 7 per cent shows a return to more normal operations and indicates what may be expected in the future. The market prices throughout the year have been nearly constant, ranging from 32 to 33 cents a pound.
 During 1921 the aluminium industry will no doubt continue to grow, for the South American deposits of baux- ite, the ore of aluminium, are now yielding regular output, the domes- tic deposits are being worked more advantageously, and the aluminium plants in North Carolina and Tennes- see are producing more metal from year to year.

BIG MINING MEN
 PLEASED WITH OUT-
 LOOK FOR N0HAVECO.

A party composed of c. N. Miller, San Francisco; c. P. King, New York; Chas. Low, Chicago ;and c. A. Low, Seattle, arrived in Kingman last Saturday and looked over a large part fthe country, especially Oatman, c. o. D., Katherine and other points. The entire party were we'll taken with the outlook for economic mining, as well as with the wonderful potentiality of the mines. Taking into view the fact that the United Eastern at Oat- man has been producing about $200,- 900 per month for the past 4 years, the Tom Reed for nearly 10 years, and the c. o. D. just starting its 125-ton milling plant, these men, who have been in the mining game for years, may we'll be surprised that this coun- ty has been overlooked by the big fellows.
 The party returned to San Francis co Wednesday last, where MT. Miller is shaping up matters to start opera tions on his Katherine Extension group, it being understood that large equipment will soon be on the way. A big shaft will be carried down on the property as rapidly as men and money can drive it, and the vein of the Katherine to the east of the Mother lode opened.
 The examination of the Katherine mine by the party was revelation, as few of the men believed that such a property could exist without world wide notoriety. The massive vein and its values, not only made hit with these men, but is a constant source of surprise to every mining man that has had the good fortune to go through the property. MT. Mil Ter, who headed the party this way is one of the men who put Goldfield on the map and has been central figure in many of the big booms of the west. So important did the Kath- crime country appear to him that he has secured some of the best close in property in that section and is sure to have things doing within the nsxt thirty days.

SAYS NEW YORK CURB
 INTERESTED IN MINES

Some very interesting mining news is reported by Chas. P. Blanton, who returned this week from New York City.
 "For period of nearly two years trading on the New York Curb was less than during any like period since its organization, and with the excep- tion of the spring and summer months in 1919, when Divide Silver enjoyed a short lived boom, there has been no interest in mining shares upon the New York Curb since Oatman held the public attention. That many of the Broad street firms are planning and preparing genuine Bull market, beginning in the late summer or early fall, is much in evidence, and that this market will feature silver and gold mining shares is surely the opin- ion and expectation of the Curb hous- es. With the attention and attrac- tion to Union Pass district by San Francisco mining promoters and ex- change firms, it is most certain of cooperative connection between these interests and their New York associates"
 MT. Blanton has concluded all finan- cial arrangements for listing Cal izona Silver" on the New York Curb, and this stock will be called among first issuesc upon return of the mar ket.
 Blanton Gold Bullion Mines Go, owns eight claims about midway be- tween the old Moss mine and Union Pass. This corporation is being re- organized, when financing will be se- cured in New York.

C. Q. ). MILL NOW
 MAKING CONCENTRATES

The c O. D. mill has made it's first carload of concentrates and shipment to the smelter will be under way. with in the next few days. These concen- trates are rich in silver, gold and lead, the zinc having been almost entirely eliminated, a future product being made from the zinc.
 In the headings of both east and west drifts on the 400 wonderful bod ies of ore are being driven in, the drifts being entirely in ore. The east drift has an ore body much wider than the drift and this will run we'll above $100, while the entire face in the west drift carried values above $500. The big ore body in the east drift appears to be new shoot, the peak of the ore coming up to the roof of the drift and widening rapidly to the floor.
 The shaft is almost at the 500 and as soon as a station is cut the work of driving through the big ore body wiH be carried on with all possible speed. The mine is showing up won derfully, even the optimists who knew the mine in the early days being sur prised with the massive ore bodies that have so far been opened.
 The mill is now being supplied with ore. taken from the drifts, 75 tons daily coming out that will average better than 50 ounces, the balance of the mill supply coming from the dumps. It can readily be seen what an ideal condition exists in the mine when drifts and shaft can be relied upon to supply big mill with ore without calling on the mine reserves. As soon as drifting is started on the 500 the capacity of the mill will be taxed to care for all the mill stuff that will be taken from these lower drifts.

GOLD ORE SHAFT NOW
 DOWN TO 700 FEET

The shaft of the Gold ore has reach ed the 700 and as soon as the stump has been carried down about 20 feet the work of crosscutting to the vein will be commenced. The vein is prob ably about 20 feet back of the shaft. and when cut the. work of drifting both ways into the ore body will be started. Three shifts of miners are now at work on the property and the number of men will be augmented as room is made for them on the laterals. Joe Onetto, who has charge of the property, will give the company value received for every dollar that is spent in this new work.
 The lateral work on the $50 level show conditions in the mine both east and west, fine body of ore having been opened in the vein at various points. This work will be carried on altogether in the vein and stopes will be opened within the next few days to allow of the extraction of the ores.

BRING SAMPLES SHOWING 25 PER CENT COPPER
 AND lO6 OUNCES SILVER

Asa LeBarron and J. K. P. Fancher have been doing work on their prop erty below Mohave Wash, in the south end of the Chemehuevis mountain. Samples brought in from a three foot vein gave results of 106 ounces silver and 25b copper, this being taken from the shaft at depth of 30 feet. MT. LeBarron informs us that it is the intention to further develop this prop erty. The gentlemen have large group of claims in we'll located part of the mountain and copper outcrop appears on all the veins, many of which are large and promising.

PROGRESS OF MINING IN
 ALASKA

To provide fuel for the use of. the Alaskan Engineering Commission coal mining was continued in 1919 in the Matanuska field, Alaska, on about the same scale as in the previous years. Near this field and also tributary to the Government railroad, is the Will low Creek gold district, where large auriferous lodes are being exploited. These mining developments are de- scribed in a pamphlet by Theodore Chapin entitled Mining in the Mata- nuska Coal Fields and the Willow Creek District, Alaska" just issued by the U. s. Geological Survey, De- partment of the Interior, as Bulletin 714-D.

SHIPS TON OF HIGH: :.
 GRADE ORE LAST WEEK

Charles Crandall last week shipped ton of ore from a new vein that he has opened in the country north of the Eldorado Canyon road, opposite White Hills. The ore is said to be very rich in silver, and the vein is we'll defined. MT. Crandall has gone back to the property and expects to do large amount of work on it. "
 Over in Weaver and Minnesota dis tricts good bodies of ore have been found in the years gone by and it is the impression that MT. Crandall has one of the important strikes of that section. The ore is high grade. chlo- ride, similar to the Old Horn Silver, close by. Shipments are to be made regularly from the development and later stopes will be opened and the shipments increased to importance.

OATMAN REVENUE
 TO CONTRACT SHAFT

The Oatman Revenue Mines com pany, owning group of ten claims in the country between the Sheeptrail and the Gold Chain, over in the Union Pass section, is about to let con- tract for the sinking of a shaft on it's property to a depth of 100 or mole feet.
 The mines of this company show big outcrop of mineralized material, which is exposed in Il places by superficial shafts, crosscuts and open cuts. The principal vein lies along the east and west dike that accom- panies the ore in the Gold Chain. This vein is more than 40 feet wide and assays taken along the vein for the full length of the claim gives assay values of from $2.S0 to $16 per ton in gold and silver, the silver content being much like that carried in the old Sheeptrail property. Six veins con- verge into the ground covered by the principal vein and it is near this point that the shaft has been spotted.
 Camp buildings and mine equipment are on the ground and a good wagon road built in from the main highway leading to the Katherine. Good water is also obtained close by and every thing that goes to make an ideal min ing camp is at hand. Of course, the essential attribute of a mine is min eral and that the Revenue has it, the veins being we'll defined and carry ing good values.
 The company is also well officered, Henry Johnson, who is the president and general manager, being one of the real mine operators of the country. Judge Armour, secretary and treasur- CT of the company, is we'll known as square shooting lawyer, and c. M. Leonard, who is acting as the fiscal agent of the company, is capable, en- ergetic and as honest as they make lem. Wherefore, we predict that every shareholder will get a run for his money in this organization. Many Kingman people already have made investments in the company and it is in shape to go ahead with development.

Elaboration

Tommie's father had taken him to church for the first time. It was a hot day, and as the minister threw himself wholeheartedly into his ser mon precipitation poured from the clerical face. Finally, when he was pleading with the congregation to eschew all sin, Tommie leaned over to his father and whispered shrilly:
 Daddy, why don't you be better and not make the minister sweat so much?"

CATTLE DYING

A report. comes from the Verde Valley section of Yavapai county that cattle are dying in large numbers. Some of the cattle com panies are feeding hay, but the expense is so great that if grass does not soon appear the animals will eat their heads off. Practically all of the state is in much the same con- dition, cattle and sheep dying for lack of feed and water. The higher alti- tudes will not have available grazing until about the middle of April and possibly early in May, while the country surrounding Kingman has the early feed, making it a desirable grazing ground for sheep in the lambing season.

STANLEY C. BACC BACK
 AFTER A YEARS ABSENCE

Stanley c. Bagg was Kingman vis- itor last Monday, coming in from some mining property in the country to the southwest of the Ruth, in the Silver Creek country. This is the first visit of MT. Bagg to Kingman in a year.
 It may not be amiss at this time to call the attention of the mining pub lie to the fact that MT. Bagg is the original discoverer of the Katherine mine. After completing the title work on the mine MT. Bagg associat- ed a number of friends with him in the organization of the New Comstock Mining Company. This company op- erated the mine and later took over the mill of the old Sheeptrail com pany, continuing the operation for about two years. Later the shares Of many of the old stockholders were taken over by w. c. Howard, A. H. Littlefield and Charles Sutro and un- der their direction large amount ot work was done, which is now being amplified in the development of the enormous ore bodies of that great property. As a newspaper man we are greatly interested in MT. Bagg's projects, as he was one of the oldest men in the state, having published the Epitah at Tombstone about 30 years ago.
 He is now at work developing a nice looking group of claims some dis tance east of Fort Mohave, and few miles westerly from the old Moss, that he believes are sure to be winners.

DRIFT ON ARABIAN
 200 FEET FROM SHAFT

The drift on the 100 level of the Arabian has been carried out 200 feet and it is expected that an ore body will be cut into any day. On the 300 the west drift has been carried out about 500 feet. Ore bodies have been found along the level that carry high grade milling ore. The present work has in view the locating of the ore bodies so that further and deeper work can be carried on intelligently.
 c. D. Ridgway, who is general man. ager of the property, is of the opinion, from present developments, that the Arabian will be one of the big pro- ducers of the country.

COPPER MINING IN THE CHITINA
 VALLEY, ALASKA

The copper mines of the Chitina Valley are the largest and richest thus far developed in Alaska. Their successful development has been made possible by the completion of the Cop per River & Northwestern Railroad, which affords transportation to tide water. The recent mining progress in this district is shown in a report en- titled Mining in the Chitina Valley, Alaska" by F. H. Moffit, issued by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, as Bulle- tin TAG.
