|MOHAVE: COUNTY DEVELOP PMENT
 INCREASING

precious-metal bearing areas of Mo- have County rank with the most pros porous mining sections of the country. From the standpoint of profitable in vestment opportunity they are unex- celled for the vein systems are nu- merous and rich and have already pro- duced millions of dollars worth of gold and silver burdened ores. From the standpoint of mine work, always the miners opinion of a mineral-bear- ing area, Mohave County is the scene of the most extended effort in the Southwest. These facts are recogniz- ed and freely commented on by the mining men from outside points who are arriving here in increasing mum. bers to take over and develop prop. critics. Kingman, the County seat is their focusing point And the county commissioners. recognizing their value as an asset, have construc ted easy-graded well ballasted roads to all. of the outlying districts
 Many New Arrivals
 During the last few days the list of noted mining men who have visited here of late was augmented by the arrival of Frank w. Stall of Tono pah, Nevada, who mined a fortune from the fabulously rich National Mine located in the Nevada camp of that name; D. w. Shnks of San Fran cisco, who has to his credit a number of mining successes in old Mexico and elsewhere, and H. R. Van Wage nen of Denver, Colorado, one of the best known of the younger generation Of mining engineers and geologists. Van Wagenen served as umpire in the famous apex case affecting own. ership of valuable mineral rights al Manhattan. Nevada, claimed by the White Caps and Morning Glory Min ing companies. All of the gentlemen named inspected the new gold camp of Katherine in Union Pass and com mented fayorably on it's ore-yielding possibilities.
 w. J. Loring, who recently bought the Sunbeam property at Katherine, aas outlined to Superintendent E. s. Chaffee, now in San Francisco. the plans for it's development These in clude the installation of mine mach inery capable of work to a maximum depth of one thousand feet and sink ing of double-compartment shaft to a depth of five hundred feet. The property is traversed by strong fis- sure vein at surface assays as high as S4 gold ton across a breadth of 80 feet. At the adjacent Gold Chain owend by Mir Shanks and associates, similar campaign of de- velopment is in force under the SUD- ervision of C. r. Nourse. The mass i've vein outcrop on the Gold Chain is estimated to carry 100000 tons of ore that can be milled at a profit. On the adjoining Katherine Extension Charles N. Miller of San Francisco. is sinking deep working shaft to tap the continuation of the -ich Katherine Assure. Surface val Ies on the Katherine Extension range rom B to $2O gold ton.
 Millions Blocked Out
 Endlining with the Katherine Ex- ension is the Bonanza Katherine nine, where approximately S4.000,- of No hI0olyaI ut to depth of 300 feet Shaft sink ng and development of the ore body s being facilitated by a new plant of ! machinery that went into commission | ne mine a deep working shaft is be- ng sunk on the Katherine Mohawk | roperty. On the Treasure Vault, To- ated mile cast of the Katherine, old values range from 8 to $14 ton | cross width of eight feet. On the old Link property vein has been ncovered that assays an average of 5 gold ton across width of 20 set. Mine work at other points in le Katherine district includes devel- pment of ore, in the Arabian mine. haft sinking on the Adams soatman avenue and Black Dyke properties, rnnel operations on the Sheep Trail roperty and the extending of drifts the Roadside mine. The Dudley Interests. owner of the O. D. and other valuable proper es in the Cerbat Range. will soon Ftend the scope of operations to in ude all of it's mine holdings. Morris Dudley, general manager, is at resent in New York City conferring ith his associates on this and other svelopment matters. and upon his re- lrn to Kingn1an early next mouth. le work will be started In the eantime, R. s. Billings, consulting lgineer and geologist for the Dudley terests. is making thorough exam ation of the Daisell and Golden tar properties and will submit re- 1rt thereon to Dudley at an early lte.
