MINIATURE ALMANAC

Latitude 64h degrees Nor,

plans call for a 150ton mill.
 The Adams

The Adams Mining Company, four weeks ago, moved it's machinery from its Oatman lease to it's Katherine lease. Machinery has been installed and a shaft sunk to a depth of 75 feet. The property appears to be fa- vorably located, according to mining engineers, and Tom Kelker, the super intendent, who is held in high esteem in the district. E. A. Newland and N. A. D'Arcy, of Los Angeles, have large interests in the Adams.
 Other Claims
 Over 200 claims have been located in the Katherine district. Some of them, according to engineers, have little prospects of success. Others are located in the recognized mineralized zone and, with honest and intelligent management, have a good chance for success. M. A. Page of Grass Valley has large interest in the Black Dike, which is a close-in lease. c. N. Miller of San Francisco controls the Rather inc Extension, its claim adjoining the Katherine mine. The Union Pass and Big Four groups are controlled by A. G. Cushman of Los Angeles.

driven at ground level. Sampling from the tunnel, as well as the surface of the hill, showed gold values from $6 to $14. c. F. Nourse, manager of op- erations, has had splendid record in his profession and is very enthusiastic regarding the future of this mine.
 It might be added that he was not alone in his optimism, it being felt by practically the entire district. State Senator James Curtin, and others, of Kingman, are interested in the Comstock- Consolidated and other claims to the east of Gold Chain, and which appear to have excellent pros poets.
 Arabian
 The Arabian has spent upward of $1OO,OOO in actual development work. A shaft has been driven to the 200- foot level, and a splendid ore body opened up. The vein average about 25 feet and shows values of from $14 to SIS. Charles P. Reiniger, president of the company, and Edward Thornton of Los Angeles, are experienced min ing men who have successfully han dled a number of mines. They plan to sink shaft to a 500-foot level and then develop by cross-cutting. Their

which claims nearly mile of out cropping, in which very profitable val ues have been found, with the vein getting richer as it is followed deeper. A good camp and a fully equipped plant have been in operation some time.
 The Arabian is now ow.< by c. P. Reiniger, who has associated with him Charles Thornton of Los Angeles as manager, and others, who recently purchased the property with the view of going ahead actively with develop ment.
 Still nearer Kingman is the Frisco mine from which large production has been taken in the past and which is preparing to resume activity in few weeks. A new shaft is down 200 feet, but it has been found necessary to go deeper.
 It is expected that within few weeks a large amount of material Will be trucked to properties which have not yet begun work, and that opera tions will be extended rapidly.
 The following was MT. Baillle's lm- pression of the district:
 The opening gun of mining boom unique in the annals of Western mn ing was fired at Kingman, Arlz., on Saturday, the occasion being a dinner given by the Mohave Chamber of Mines, to which were invited proml- nent mining men and brokers from California, Arizona and Nevada. It was unique because the keynote ot the occasion was the stamping out of pro- motion evils that have heretofore been connected with most mining camps The interruptions operator and the shyster stock salesman will be given short shrift at the hands of the req mining interests of the new Katherine district. :,t..
 The Katherine district, which is already on it's way to the boom stages is located 40 miles west of Kingmanr and within mile or the Colorado river. A highly mineralized area o1 about four to six miles, with gole values running from $4 to $40, is tht area so far considered as having pro ducing possibilities. To date, includ ing roadway developments in the dis trict, approximately $2,500,OOO ha been expended. The concensus O. opinion of old miners, who are flock ing to the district in great numbers and six we'll known and conservative mining engineers, was that the Kath erine district would develop into on of the great gold producing camps O } the continent.
 Tristate Opening The official opening of the town sit

manager, k. l.. Dlmmlch, Will hazard no opinion except on actual showings. A shaft is being sunk from the 400- foot level to 700 feet to prospect the ore body deeper. In this shaft high values were found.
 The Gold Chain mine has made the best strike and has encountered high class ore at 106 feet, at which level a drift of 300 feet was made. The ore outcropping shows $1OO,O0O worth ex- posed, and the values have been found richer as the shaft goes deeper.
 The Gold Chain has we'll equipped camp and nicely arranged plant. The company plans to build mill just beyond the face of the outcropping, which will be handled first, as 1t shows sufficient value to merit imme- diate milling.
 Well Equipped Plant
 The Adams Mining Co. has well equipped plant and is down something like 100 feet with good value in the rock samples from the vet President 1 N. A. dArcy of Los Angeles is on the ground directing further operations which are under the general manage ment of Supt. Tom Kilker.
 It is expected that the Adams will be one of the best producers in the district. A bit of ore taken from the shaft was crushed and banned before the Los Angeles party which visited the district Saturday and Sunday, and the flakes of gold were easily discern able.
 These three properties are all in ac- tive operation and are prepared to gc ahead with development until theli mills are built. More capital is to be put into the plants to accomplish this and get milling operations we'll under way.
 A score of other properties which have not yet started operations ar' ready to begin as soon as the weather is more favorable for work above ground. Some of them have capita on hand which will carry them througl the preliminary work; others hav' planned toplace stock on the market and as sales progress rush work along In the neighborhood of Tristate, thu new town just born on the banks O the Colorado, three mines have beer started and have sunk shafts well int the veins of ore.
 On Nevada Side These are the Nevada-katherine which picked up the ore vein after crossed the river; the Black Prince owned by Los Angeles parties, an the Homestake, which private owner , are exploiting.
 Closer to Kngman is the Arabian

The Los Angeles Herald and the Los

The Los Angeles Herald and the Los Angeles Express have already given the Katherine section much mention following the visit of w. H. Leonard, financial editor of the Herald, and J. K. Baillie, financial editor of the Ex- press. The cut above was used in a recent issue of the Herald and the fol- lowing stories by the respective writ CTS will give our readers an idea of the> impression these men took away with them. The first is one of five recently written by MT. Leonard:
 For the first time since 1919 when mining began to go into decline be- cause of economic and after-war con ditions, the industry is prepared to stage a Comeback" in some of it's phases, particularly that of gold min ing.
 Activities are already started in several California, Arizona and Ne vada camps, and much development work which has been accumulating in the somnolent years is now ready to accept the aid of capitalization for production.
 High cost of materials and opera tion, unfavorable legislation, insufti- cient commercial protection and un- balanced economic conditions for seven years have made the production un- attractive from a capitalistic stand point, for the big mines of the country are those which mill comparatively low grade ore and are affected by changes in costs and market condi- tions.
 Extensive Operations
 Perhaps the most extensive opera tions are in the Katherine district ir northwestern Arizona and southern Nevada, where proven territory is ready for milling and new develop ment is in process of being started.
 There are in this district score o1 mines and hundreds of claims, any ont of which will bear the aid of capital ization with fine chances of making good producers. The whole countr! seems to be mineralized and outcrop pings of lodges are frequent.
 The original Katherine mine is far finest along with it's development worl and has completed nearly 5000 feet O shafts, drifts and cross-cuts. The mail shaft is down 400 feet, with drifts a 1OO-foot levels. The 300-foot deptl shows the best ore and more thai s2,OOO,OOO worth has already beel blocked out at values averaging $14 ton.
 Katherine Ore in Sight
 There is as much more in sight with probably unlimited quantitie farther down, although the genera

of Tristate pn the Nevada side of tle Colorado river, took place on Satur- day. The camp was crowded and jammed from early morning until late at night, and hundreds slept in the open air from want of accommoda- tions. A number of claims have also been located on the Nevada side of the line, most notable of which is the Nevada Local officials have the district well in hand, and there was little disorder and complete ob- servance of property rights.
 The Katherine Mine
 The Katherine mine has made the greatest progress to date; 7s40 feet of drifting and cross-cuts have been completed, and ore values averaging about $14. The shaft has been sunk to a depth of 400 feet, with drifts at 100, 200, 300 and 400 feet. R. L. Dim- mick, vice-president and general man ager, is one of the recognized authori- ties on Western gold mining, and the splendid character of the development work, which was inspected by the vis- iting mining engineers and brokers, was commented on by all as being one of the best pieces of mining engineer ing they had ever seen. Some values in this mine have run to $53. To date $3O0,O0O has been expended; 154,- 900 tons of ore has actually been blocked out, with an estimated value of $2,164OOO. MT. Dinmick refused to make a prediction as to the total values when the development work has been completed, but other engineers were not backward in stating that the total values would be several times the $2,OOO,OOO mark. The company plans to sink shaft to the 700-foot level and to open up the east drift. Plans are being completed and machinery has been ordered for a $375,OOO mill. It is claimed that the mill will be in operation in seven or eight months. Charles Sutro of San Francisco has the controlling interest in the Rather inc mine.
 The Gold Chain
 The Gold Chain mine is controlled by D. w. Shanks of San Francisco, and it's showings to date have been one of the sensations of the district Work was started about year ago The shaft has been sunk to dets h of 1O6 feet and drifting has been com pleted to a distance of 300 feet; 41C feet of tunneling and open cuts include the development work to date. The gold values here run from $3 to $114 The unusual feature of this mine js that it's ore body is located in a large hill, from which tunneling can be
