Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-04-21

S~A>o> SAe~ss$o SoSho ID toeAN. &hS q point near the center of the group g shaft is to be sunk to a depth of BOG feet and crosscuts are to be extended through, the main vein, which is es- timated to be close to 800 feet in width. The depth obtained at the footwall from the 300 level will be over 500 feet and as drifts are ex- tended to the south further depth will be gained. Samples taken from var ious places along a vein outcrop of 1000 feet in length show encouraging values. Many samples were taken and horned during the examination of the big outcrops, with never a skunk" from any ofthem. The same encouraging condition exists along the big dikes that are found in the ter ritory farther south, especially below the territory of the Nancy Lee, which adjoins the Gold Link on the south, this territory having considerable de- velopment and showing up some won derful highgrade. The old Loftus mines, the Eclipse, the Robinson and Sands and other properties in that section have potential ore bodies, while farther south along the same dike system is the Gold Trails, which has been developed to the 500 level and is now in big ore.
 The dike system runs through the property of the Nancy Lee and through the high ground of the Gold Link, the vein systems crisscrossing this great mass of dike material for more than 2O00 feet along it's strike. The main dike is greatly silicified, large areas of it showing quartz ifs surfing and heavy naturalization. The strike of this whole system is to- ward the Frisco and on toward the Katherine section. It is this same rhyolitic dike system that made the ore bodies of Oatman and it is doing the same thing along its strike in the Secret Pass section. No spot along the whole length of dike and vein can material be taken that will not give up either small amount of gold or silver, some of it carrying high grade.
 It is the intention of the new man. agement of the property to start work on the hanging wall side of the big vein system and enter the vein at a depth, of less than 300 feet. At the 300 the work of developing the mas sive vein laterally will be undertaken and the work carried several hundred feet north and south, with crosscuts through the mass at intervals. It is expected that this development will open a great ore body, the surface crop of the vein having the earmarks of a real producer.
 Considerable work has been done on road. which extends from the main highway at the Frisco mine to the proposed site of the new shaft, and it is now in useable shape. Some of the road was built up through rocky defiles and over heavy grades, but when completed it is one of the best pieces of roadwork into any of the camps of that section. Machinery may now be hauled into the camp with little expense, and the installa- l ton will be readily accomplished.
 The Camp is situated some little distance below the shaft site, but in an ideal locality. Water from a spring sufficient for all camp purposes, is to be had a short distance above the camp and is brought in through a pipe line about one-quarter of a mile in length. The site for the camp has been selected in the level territory to the west of the shaft site, where a good sized population may find room for houses and some garden spots. This site was selected by MT and Mrs. Joe Hyer, who have resided there sev- eral years and who piped the water down from the spring.
 MT. Hyer is the locator of the big group of mines embraced in the estate of the Gold Link and it is due to his work that the mines are now in the desirable position that the writer found them. The veins are enormous, the great dike system traversing that territory is most inviting and the chances for the development of big producing property is excellent, in fact one of the best in that section. It takes development to make a mine and the men in charge of affairs will see to it that all the money paid into the treasury will have to give an account of itself in work accom- plished.
