BLACKBERRY EXTEN.
 INTO g FOOT VEIN

The shaft of the Blackberry E&ten' sion mining company recently reached the 12O level, from which a crosscu, was carried through the big vein, the filling being more than nine feet wide four feet of which is high in mill val ues. Specimens from this body show big values in native silver, and ship pablo ore could readily be assorted from the mass. The work of carry ing the drift along the ore bearing part of the vein is now under way and it is expected that the old shoot that was operated near the grassroots many years ago will again be picked up.
 A. l.. Johns, a we'll known mining engineer, has been in charge of de- velopment on the property the past several months and believes that he is destined to open one of the best bodies of ore ever found in the proper ty. The naturalization of the whole vein in the crosscut shows what the property is capable of and the i'm pression is that with greater depth a still greater body of ore may be looked for. This is thecondition in the old Blackberry and we believe con ditions will be found the same all along the big dike.

NEvADANS IN UNION
 PASS COUNTRY

E. S. Chaffey, William Robinson and E. w. Gray are over in the Union Pass country making a thorough study of that region and getting a line on the good things of the camp. These gentlemen are we'll known New ada mining men and we believe that they are sure to find something i'm portant with which to cast their lot in the big country to the west of Union Pass. These gentlemen came in by way of Searchlight, crossing the river by boat and building their own camp. Other Nevada men are following their example and we are sure many of the men who helped to put Tonopah, Goldfield and other camps of the Silver State on the map will follow them in.

WELL PLEASED WITH
 KATHERINE COUNTRY

Having heard of the magnificent showing in the Katherine mine c. c. Aessmer, formerly of Searchlght, but now a resident of Los Angeles, came at once to Kingman and made a personal investigation of the prop erty and its surroundings. So inn pressed was he with the potentiality of the district that he at once sought ought the agent of Katherine town site and made the first purchase of lots in the new camp, buying two bus mess lots and one residence lot.
 In an interview MT. Messmer said: q am delighted with the outlook. It is the best looking mining section l have ever been in, and I have been in the desert for years. I look for ward to the time when the town of Katherine will be the center of the greatest gold producing district in this country"

FILES CLAIM AGAINST
 THE SCHYLkILL MINE

As an afterglow of the Schuylkill litigation, which was brought to a close by the purchase or agreements to purchase the Garbutt interests by the Cole-Burke interests, G. N. Mo Bean, who was appointed receiver for the property under the ruling of Judge Crosby, of Navajo county has filed a claim for $5,000 and $1,000 attorney fees on account of his stewardship. Mclean was appointed several months ago, but the application for a new trial by the Garbut interests es- topped him from taking possession of the mines, and his bond was not filed until the action putting him out of commission was taken. There appears to be no doubt that MT. Mclean is entitled to remuneration for his time and expense, but just what action the court will take in the matter is an other thing.
 Anyway, it is to be hoped that noth- ing further will interfere in the oper- ation of the Tennessee mine, which has been embroiled in litigation for the past year or more. The property is an excellent one and we are of the opinion that if the proper milling plant is erected on it and the further work of development carried on under proper management the mine will be one of the large base metal mines of the county.

OPEN UP NEW VEIN
 NEAR THE KATHERINE

The Lucky Syndicate, composed of miners in the Katherine mine, have se- cured one of the best looking veins in all that country, the property being situated to the east of the Mother Lode and close to the Gold Chain. This vein shows an outcrop 40 feet wide of quartz-calcite. A sample taken across the whole width of the vein gave assays of $2.S0 in gold, which is as high as the surface rock of the Katherine. Miners are now at work perfecting title to the property, but the boys intend to carry shaft to considerable depth on the big out crop. Those who have seen the property believe it to be one of the most important in the district and that the work in progress will develop a big producer.
 The whole territory between the Katherine and Gold Chain has been covered with many conflicting claims, each one trying to get in on the ground floor, but many of them will have to do much work before clearing their title to the mineral in place. That there are many probable veins in the area goes without saying, as that territory is gridironed with vein material. And these locators had bet ter be getting line on the veins un- derneath the detritis if they would prove their worth before the warm days set in.
 Those who have been lucky enough to find the veins sticking up ready to be covered with location are the lucky ones, although the other fel- lows who may have to work to get theirs may dive into a vein of great extent and richness. It is worth go- ing after any place in that big terri tory.

SECOND CAR OF CONCENTRA7ESFR0N
 COD. BEING LOADED

The second car of concentrates from the big c. o. D. mill is now being loaded and regular shipments will fol- low right along. The smoothness with which the c. o. D. mill has oper- ated since it's first turnover has been the marvel of mining and mill men who have visited the plant and the success of this mill means much to the Cerbat range in general. While the c. o. D. ores are quite complex and base, the fact that the mill is now making saving of about 90 per cent of the values demonstrates the fact that a number of the old properties in the Stockton Hill district, where there has never been question as to the existence of ore in large volume, can be economically and profitably handled, and there is no doubt but that intense activity in this section can be shortly looked for. Already a number of properties in the immediate vicinity have recently changed hands and engineers and mining men of prominence from the outside are daily on the ground. As one we'll known mining man expressed it several days ago after visiting the c. o. D. mill, "The now demonstrated success of the Dudley mill has saved the Cerbat range"

AMERICAN OPENS A
 NEW VEIN OF ORE

Ore was encountered in the winze that has been carried down from the 500 level and the crosscut is now be- ing driven across the vein. IS inches of the first ore encountered carried values running from $27 to $77, and it is the impression that another large ore shoot will be opened on the level. This is the best news that has come from that property in the. past two months and the management is feel ing rather chesty over the develop ment of ore bodies to the 700 level
 This level is 200 feet below the ore horizon of the Tom Reed Aztec vein, or at least to the developed ore on that property, wherefore the Reed should also pick up their ore body at a lower depth than any ore body in the district, aside from the American.

ground.
 So far as we know nothing in the west has been opened that possesses the value, extent and importance of blocked ore as is shown in the Kath- erine. We are told on reliable author ity that 6 feet of ore in which winze was sunk from one level to another an average of $275 in gold was ob- tained. This is only one part of that wonderful property. Its ore shoot is the longest of any in the state, and possibly in the country. It is miner alized with small exception from one heading to the other on every level to the 400 ,and on that level we are also informed that 2 feet of the 25 feet of solid quartz, gave average of $220. The vein shows 68 feet between walls in part of the crosscuts, the smallest part of the vein being 33 feet wide. And if we are reliably in formed, practically every pound of this enormous tonnage will pay to mill. A man who is in position to know, told us some time ago that a crosscut on the 200 level, which show ed up 6S feet of ore, would carry big mill values all l-the way across, some of the vein being exceptionally rich, while the balance would break out above the mine and mill costs.
 It will be hard to find, if at all, a vein that has so much ore in sight with the amount of work done as the Katherine. While the levels have been run in the country crosscuts have been run across the ore body every 50 feet, these crosscuts giving some idea of the wonderful values that may be expected when the real mining starts the ore millward. And it is around this magnificent property that the mystic web of romance will be woven for the future generations. just as the glamour of romance. come down to us from the long gone ages. And if the stories of the past be as wonderful as the stories that may be woven from the romance of Katherine those controlling it's destinies may well be content. With our knowledge of the fabulous wealth piled up by the millionaire mine owners of the past we feel assured that the future has greater things to record.

0ATMAN N-REVENUE
 T0START SHAFT SOON

This week lumber and materials went out to the Oatman Revenue company's camp for the purpose of setting the collar set in the new shaft on that property. The work is now getting we'll under way for the contemplated development of the big property. Supt. Johnson will have his crew of miners driving the shaft toward China and the expectation is that the, ore body will be entered be- fore it reaches the 100 level. At that depth a crosscut is to be driven into the big veins that converge at the point where the shaft has been To- cated.
 The Oatman Revenue company's property is well located in the rich section of the Union Pass field, being but a short distance north of the Sheeptrail and Minnie claims, which carried the richest values of any mine in the county. The Tyro and other prominent mining properties are in the same neighborhood. The com pany is getting in good financial po- sition to carry on large campaign of development and the shareholders are assured of a run for their money, as the saying goes.
 John H. Newcomer, who has pur- chased some of the shares of the com pany, visited the property this week and when he arrived in town he was so we'll taken with the proposition that he immediately took another large block of the shares.

BIG PROPERTY LOSS

A million and half dollars worth of property was destroyed by fire when the concentration mill of the How Sound mining company burned at Brittania Beach, B. c. No lives were lost, but the property loss will be greatly felt by the company, although the big plant will be replaced as soon as possible. This plant has been turning out a large amount of high grade concentrates the past several years.

THE KATHERINE HAS COME INTO ITS
 OWN AS A NF:-FUTURE NOW BRIGHT

A good many years ago the mining editor visited the Katherine mine in company of John w. Young, then chief field man for Senator Jonathan Bourne, IT,, senator from Oregon. At that time Stanley c. Bagg was oper- ating the property, milling the ores in the old Sheeptrail mill. After making an examination of the mine, Nr. Young was so greatly taken with it that he recommended it to his em- ployer for purchase. Senator Bourne at the time was in bad health and concluded that he was not physically able to take on further cares, especial ly in the opening of new mining property, and the proposition was passed up.
 Since that time many among the learned geologists of the country, and especially those in the employment of Uncle Sam, have given their stamp of approval to that country, being especially taken with the massive veins that outcrop everywhere, and the big dikes cutting the country tra- versely. The same conditions also ef- fected the mining editor and it has been his vision that some day there would be opened along the Blue Ridge and Black Canyon ranges the greatest gold mining section in the world. It has always been his opinion that some day the Colorado river would be harnessed and deliver to the mines power so cheap that no matter how low in grade the ores might be they might be able to deliver their golden content at profit. This day we believe is near. And while as yet these very low grade ore bodies may not be worked, there are veins of ore 90 rich that no thought need be given to these cheap properties that may be the great mines of tomorrow. If we are to judge of what we hear of the Katherine ore bodies, and we have seen some of them, the other great veins of the district may become just as potential as the parent vein of the district. The only remarkable thing about the present condition of the dis trict is that none of the big fellows discovered the wonderful values pos sessed by these great veins and pos sessed themselves of some of the best

GRAND ARMY AT WHITE
 HILLS SHOW HICHCRADE

Hunt and Drain, who have leases on the Grand Army mine at White Hills, have broken into an ore body that runs high in silver. Specimens from this ore show wonderful values in silver and they report having fine showing of the ore.
 Senator Keller has been at the mines this week getting matters lined up for company operation and was pleased with the fine showing already made on the newly leased claims.
