The Cc:.8olidated cumpuny have been shipping regularly two cars of ore per day to the El Paso smelter. The av eratft inipments tiave been increased this week by shtpinents fnm the Sil ver Thread.

Tombstone Prospector. THE SOUTH AMERICAN FIELD The revival of gold mining In the Tiansvaal tdnce the restoration of p:i. e has been rapid, and the belief has been expressed that next year will se- the output of lyS the year before the war equalled. If not surpassed. The production of gold In that coun try began In 1SS4. the output for that year being placed at about IV.IMW. It reached its maximum In 1SS. when it amounted to practically $$0.!XW.0w. In 1 1 unda sterling It was stated to be 16. l4 1. 1 35. Jlut the next year showed a notable falling off because of the war whlh covered the last three months. In 10O0 the product Ml to about $7. r.w.iHW. and in 1301 to only abi.ut $.',. tH,ii,iH snowing the effects of the war. l-at y.:ir, with the restoration of P ii e, It jumped up to 35.0vO.Oi0. and In the tirnt half of the present year it wy- something under S30.0K).Uuo. indi cating a lapld approach for the whole. J'nr to tht cutput of liS. At this rate f recovery there U jfood reason for th- belief that 1i4 will see the indus try tomplt-tely restored. The gold deposit in South Africa ure so extensive- that it is impossible- to form an idea of how long heavy pro duction will continue, but there is ev ery reuflon to believe that it will be maintained at a high value for a long time. The New York Tribune Bays the pi ediction has been made it will reach an average of 1!0.(MJO,0"0 sterling for the next twenty years. In view of the" strong probability that a heavy production will continue for yearn to come, the effect of this large addition of geld to the world's supply should not be lost sight of. The stream (lowing from South Africa will stimulate trade and a large part of it will come to this country. Our heavy exports cf food and other products to Europe will cause a return How of much South African gold, and this, in turn, will swell the- volume of business and promote the continued prosperity of this country. -American Mining News. IN MOHAVE COUNTY Much Activity, and Prospectors Are Reporting New Finds. The Kingman Miner of this week contains an interesting budget of min ing news, from which the following items are taken: Iast week Harry Knight ami P: V. E. Sauls returned from an extended trip through southern Utah. Tiu-y made Panguitch their headquarters while in Dixie, from which place they made incursions into the rurioundiiisr country. They located several copper I bearing veins in that country and be j lieve they have something good. Dr. I Sauls is also interested in gravel mines I on the Colorado river near Bluff City and believes they are destined to be I c ome the richest mines in the west, i The mines will be worked later in the year or the first of next year. Machin ery will have to be put in to handle the gravel, but the mines are in an accessible part of the country and can be supplied with equipment. Thsy j were both benefited by their outing. Otto pattern and is conceded to be one cf the most complete and easiest han dled of any of the machines ever brought in here. A FEW DIFFERENT BRANDS. Kecau.se mining Is remunerative: be cause it Is safer than industrials, den't be deceived into believing that all ad vertised mines are what they are sup posed to be. For example: There are the mines that were discovered by old Indians, who had more" knowledge of roots and tomahawks than they hail of ore. There Is the mlne tnat has ore run ning $90,000 per ten on the aerage and can be quarried like a sand pile. Then there's the mine that has a vein 2.000 feet wide and that Is nothing but ore no waste rock in It. -There is the mine that can be developed- in two months. There is also the mine that contains some metal that has never been found in that district before. And there are other mines with equally romantic stories about them. There is Just one kind of mine'that is safe to Invest in and that is the one that has been located by men who un derstand their business, and that is be ing opened in a manner that will pro duce results. In other words, there must be the property and the men back of it. Those men must be in the busi ness to produce wealth from what the mine yields. Ignorant old Indians are net discov ering mines. If they were gifted that way a great many properties would have been develoied before the white man spoiled things. The natives that dlil find gold got it from placers, and then only from the surface. Don't be- deceived by pretty stories. It is as unreasonable to expect mining t be remunerative except through hard work and knowledge as it is to look for a millionaire to build a fac tory and give It to strangers. Thre must always be "value received." and If the investor will look well to securing his dues he may rest assured that the company will not be defrauded. In vestigation Is the most harped on and the least heeded course in deciding upon investment. Consolidated Min ing Reports. The grade of the Mohave & Milltow n all that remains to complete the road is two or three trestles near the mine, It is expected that this work will be finished by the first of the month. A. O. Turner, president cf the Mo have Gold Mining company, is now in charge of the work at the mines and is rushing things as fast as possible. (Treat ore bins have been completed at the mine from which twelve cars can be loaded automatically. Everything has been made as nar automatic as it was possible to get it at the mine and mill, to obviate the extra handling of ores and supplies. It is expected that by the 15th of the next month the mill will be running full blast. Great re serves cf ore are blocked out in the mines and the values are said to be in excess of twenty dollars to the ton. T. I. Ay res was called to Los Ange les a few days, ago to make arrange ments fur the final transfer of the Golden Gem mine, at Cc-rbat, to New York parties. It has net been learned for what amcunt the sale was made, but it is believed to be over $HM),olii). It is the expressed intention of the new owners of the property to put in a plant of one thousand horse power capacity at Kingman and transmit the power to Ccrb-.it for mine r,i.d mill use. It will al.-o be able to sell ;uiwer to any of the other mining companies de Firing to put in electric power. The mine was given a most thorough sam pling, in fact one of the most complete ever given a property in the county, and it surpassed every statement of thi owner as to rre in fight and value. The establishment of a power plant in Kingman and1 the transmission of pow er to the different mines means much to the town as well as the mining in terests of this soction. At present all the mines in the county are being op erated at great expense for fuel and the installation 'of electric mac hinery will cut this expense mere than one half. The new company has good fi nancial backing and the men at the head of affairs are capable nd energetic. Sheriff Ixivin departed last evening for Ilukersfield, whete he was called as a witness In the trial of Hulse, who is cn trial for th.? murder of Packard ami Tibbetts. who were killed in the fight with Jim Mi Kinney in ISakersfleld last April. Ilulne moved for a change of venue from Kern county, but the mo tion was overruled and the trial Is be ing proceeded with. The murderer is putting up a strong fight and has em ployed rome of th3 best lawyers In that country to defend him. A number of prospectors have been in the norfi end of Cottonwcod dis trict and this week it is expected that they have discovered several small veins of rich gold ore. There is a big country south of-Truxton that has never been thoroughly prospected and l it would be no surprise if something good was r.ot found there. In the "nr- , ly eighties many locations were made . cn the lead mines of the middle part of the Cottonwood district and carload . lots of rich lead ver3 shipped out, but ! the mines were abandoned on account of the pockets giving out. The ores were in lime and a number of good sized pockets were found. No exten sive developments were carried on and it is possible that big detKisits may be' James Dundon and wife were King man visitors this week and report that they have made an important discov ei y cf gold bepring ore in one of the claims of the 'Alexander group, near tVrbat. Ore that was considered worth less, ami which had been thrown over the dump gave assay returns of more than five ounces of gold to the ton. Mr. Dundon reports that he has a two foi t vin cf this cl::ss of ore and that it Is his intention to put men to work on it at o::ce. The W. If. Taggart Mercantile com pany, owners of a large interest in the C. O. D. mine, has sent men to thu mine for the purpose of unwatering it. It is probable that the water will be it-moved from the lower workings to allow cf a thorough examination cf the property. ALHAMBRA NOTES. News From the Rurel Section North west of Phoenix.
