ASSESSMENT WORK SHOWS \ UP SOME GOOD ORE

Manuel Ruiz and Tom Brobant came in from the Chemehuevis mountains few days ago, having completed as sessment work for the year 1920 on a group of gold mines, situated near Arastra we'll, on the northeast part of the range. This camp is about 15 miles from Franconia, a small station on the Santa Fe.
 The vein upon which the men con- solidated' their work runs from IS in ches to three feet in width, the whole mass being rather high grade milling ore, the values running from $25 to $120 gold to the ton. They opened the vein with open cuts and a shaft 30 feet deep. All the openings for many hundreds of feet show the same general character of ore. ~There~i is good camp site on the property and water is available for camp uses close by. The men have been holding this group of mines number of years, and also have other important mining claims in that locality.

FUTURE OF MINING \
 SHOWS INPROVEMNET

Conditions are just about right for a boom in silver mining in the Rocky Mountain camps. Uncle Sam has a standing order with the miner of sil- yer in the United States for all the metal he can produce during the next four or five years, or until the 207,- 100000 ounces sold to England dur ing the war are replaced in the Unit ed States treasury. The mines of the United States will produce about 170,- O00,000 ounces of silvef during the next four years, and Uncle Sam's un- filled order at the present time is about 175,00O,00O ounces.
 Under these conditions why should mt silver mining boom in the white metal producing districts of the Unit ed States during the next several years. The miner is guaranteed a fixed price of $1 an ounce for his production, and with every drop in the cost of supplies and in wages his profits will increase approximately. There isn't chance that the Putnam re-purchase act will re repealed, be- cause Uncle Sam gave his word to the West that he would re-purchase the silver sold to England, and he always keeps his word. And then again, it isn't costing Uncle Sam anything to replace this silver. He received $1 an ounce for the silver taken from the treasury and sold to England and he is simply replacing it at the same price.
 Old-time Colorado silver. camps are taking on renewed activity and by the time that summer comes again the mountains will be alive with miners and prospectors. A revival in silver mining will mean greater activity in all classes of metal production. There are signs that the worldwide demand of the next several years for gold and silver as well as copper, lead, zinc tungsten, pmolybdenum and other metals, will cause the mines of the West to boom as never before.

c. & A. SHOWN AS
 BIG PRODUCER

The first of January showed the Calumet and Arizona copper company to have on hand in copper and cash over $S,O0O,OOO. The big copper out put of the company during the year was not assimilated by the market and as result the company carries over large amount of the red metal. The company has been producing a large amount of copper during not only the years of the war, but even the effort to curtail last year was not suc- cessful, the smaller tonnage contain ing better grade of ore ,and there fore larger amount of copper.
 The showing of the c. & A. is one of the best of any of the large cop pers, as it leaves it with the big treas ury and an opportunity to carry over its excess copper. G -.

WRONG IMPRESSION IS
 BEING HANDED OUT

Agitators in this district have been giving out the impression to the work men at the mines, that the Dudley Companies were responsible for the wage reduction which goes into effect here the first and at Oatman the 18th. This is not the case. They state their reason for this reduction being the meeting at which the wage reduction was decided upon was held at the Dud- ley offices. This is also not so.
 The meeting held at the Dudley of fees, of the mine operators of the county and the merchants of the coun- ty being present was for the purpose of talking over the cost of living and its relation to the wage reduction which has been decided upon.

FIVE GOLD
 . MINES SYND|CATED

Charles H. Burlock, who was the
 owner of the Arizona Mossback gold
 properties up to the time it was taken
 over by the Arizona Mossback Mines
 Company has about completed syndi-
 eating the National Five Gold Mines
 that adjoin the now famous Mossback
 properties on the south For the past
 year he has been negotiating with
 Chicago people, and but for the action
 of the Federal Reserve Banks in lim-
 iting investments to the requirements
 only of established concerns, these
 parties would probably now have a
 large plant on the property. Recently he interested new groups, including some California and Flagstaff people, and with this new backing, in conjunc- 'tion with his former eastern negotia- tors expects to begin breaking ground for new plant early in February.
 :. A corporation has been formed known as the National Five Gold Min es company, of which company MT. Burlock has been made the general manager. MT. Burlock states that the present plans include the placing of shaft house and hoisting equip ment sufficient to sink 500 feet, the building of quarters for the workmen,
 and the installing of a pipe line to Cottonwood creek, where it is propos- ed to place dam at what is known as Red Rock point to impound the subterraneau water flow, and provide subterranean water flow, and provide purposes. The National Five mines contain three thousand feet of the Mossback vein, the richest part of which vein so far discovered lies but 13Q feet north of the National ground and is-nown to have a southernly strike at angle which will carry this well known pay chute into National ground Assays across five feet of the Mossback vein at the spot men, toned, at depth of only twenty feet gave returns of $2S50, to the ton. This spot is known familiarly in that locality as the "Mossback Glory Hole". While Mr. Burlock owned the Mossback a number of yers ago, this glory hole was higbtgraded one time during his absence ,and ores taken that were said to have netted the talk CTS several thousands of dollars. Some of it was so rich in free gold that it was made up in stick pins and watch charms. The National Five company expect to cut Ythis rich pay chute on National ground at about two to three hundred feet in depth in their shaft, but they will begin operations with the plant and capital to go 800 feet or more and thorough ly explore the Mossback ledge in their ground. ...i

DEAN MINE OPENS BODY OF H|GHGRADE
 OREON LOWER LEVELS

The Dean mine is now in one of the largest bodies of ore opened in this county in recent years. To the east of the main crosscut tunnel the ore body was encountered at distance of 80 feet a crosscut has disclosed IA feet of ore that will verage IA ounces silver. In the west drift the ore body shows at distance of 90 feet from the old raise. The ore streak of 30 inches averages over 300 ounces sil- yer, while the big drift gives an av- craze of "A ounces silver. This drift has been carried along very large to allow of double tracking.
 In the intermediate drift, to the east of the old stope, the vein shows 12 feet wide and verages above 66ounces sil- yer. This ore is full of native and the whole mass looks like jewelry shop. It is said, by old time miners to be one of the most beautiful show ings of ore in the state. The drifts are being carried into the ore bodies on all the levels and every foot of driving shows larger and better bod ies. The management is working about 30 men at the mine, but this number will be greatly added to soon as contemplated improvements are made in the road up the mountain.
 The drift east from the tunnel level, or at least that part of the mine lying to the east of the tunnel and under what is known as the ."cienega", is believed to be the big end of the prop erty, although development to the west has shown better and larger ore bodies. While at the present time the ore in the east drift is lower than that in the west, we are of the opinion that greater depth will bring in great increase in values, the upper ore bod ies showing considerable teaching.
 The Dean mine is situated about Ia miles easterly from Kingman and in the north part of the Wallapai noun tain. It was one of the early discoy- cries of that section, but the men who operated it missed out on the ore, the raise missing the big ore body by only IS inches. Had this ore been found the mine would have made that part of the Maynard district, as today the property is said to have a value of $2,000,000. The property was made since it was taken over by F. P. Aylwin some months ago. -~...,.. ',

LAW CALLS FOR THREE '>
 JURY SESSIONS A YEAR

In last weeks issue of this paper, an excerpt of one article stated, that "it not being expected that there would be more than one jury session during thd year,, and as this will leave the impression that there could be but one jury session, we desire to call at tention that the constitution of our state compels at least three jury ses- sions during the year, during the months of February, May and Octo- Der, which can be changed by order of the Judge of the Superior Court.

TO START WORK ON
 THUMB BUTTE SOON

MT. and Mrs. R. H. Malcolm were in Kingman several days this week, MT. Malcolm coming here to get mat ters arranged for the starting of work on the Thumb Butte mines. The com pany has purchased large pumping plant, which will be installed at once and the work put under way. The company has an excellent property to work on, there being good ore bodies in the openings, and the faults have been traced out, making it possible to go ahead intelligently with a plan of development mapped out.
 Associated with MT. Malcolm in the undertaking are large eastern in terests.

WORK ON SCHvYLK|LL
 UNDERWAY SOON

H. T. Rudisill came in from Los Angeles early this week, accompanied by c. A.. Burke, and went over to Chloride, where he turned over the propertyI of the Schuylkill to MT. Burke and associates. It is under stood that the Burke-Cole interests will at once begin the organization of a large corporation and that im- portant work will be put under way on the mines. That later a milling plant of several hundred tons capacity will be erected.
 Since the settlement, or the agree ment of settlement of the case of Frank A. Garbutt against the Schuyl- kill Mining Company and c. A. Burke was concluded, the parties represent ing the defendant interests have been shaping matters up for the operation of all the properties on large scale. This is>understood to include the de-. velopment of the mines below the 1900 level, the equipping of the property in large way and the development of sufficient water to carry on the big milling plan. The incorporation of a ten million dollar company is the first thing on the program, this company to take over the claims against the prop erty, carry on development, erect mill- ing plant and safeguard the share holders of the old company. The plan is a comprehensive one and we feel sure t4at it wiH go through.

PEYOTE

What is generally known as the mescal plant, genus of cacti, which grows in the mountains of Arizona, has in it's dried leaves all the narcotic properties of morphia. With the jimpsum weed this plant has long been used by the Indians to produce either jag or sleep. The root of the plant is well lowered tuber and the In dians bake it in pits and put it up for winter use. The plant is known as peyote by the Mexicans and Indians. The flowers, which grow on a long stalk, are heavy in narcotic proper ties, and these are dried and smoked much as the Chinese smoke opium. >

GOLD ORE ENCOUNTERS
 ORE BODY ON THE $50

The drift on the $50 level of the Gold Ore has reached the ore body and the work of driving through this body will be continued until it's dimensions are ascertained. The ore that is now coming in is said to be of a high mill grade, but when the body has been penetrated some distance a better grade is expected to be encountered, as in the ore body opened near the surface. The grade of this old ore body was about $100 per ton.
