guishable by the naked eye. There IS also
 streak of honeycombed quartz in this lede
 out of which many handsome specimens (
 wire gold have been obtained. There al
 several rich punches in this ledge out (
 which ore has been taken that will assa ' several hundred dollars i'll gold. The owner of this claim have done very little work O
 1t i.s yet but we hear that it is their inter tion to open it up shortly and i'll all prob ability they will erect stamp mill on tn banks of the river for the purpose of reduC ing the ore of this and other mines in tn immediate vicinity. The northern exteG sion of this mine known as the
 IDA MINE
 and located by Tom Burns and w. F. Gam shows the same character of ore anC tie same width of ledge matter. in fact tn general average of the cropp ngs give rise t, the belief that the ledge wiIens out as it ex l tends northward. On this claim the ore 5i 1 Ill of about the same grade, none of the rich punches found ill the Maud Ashbroob having been found on this claim. w. c. Scott and Pine Tree Jim (we don know his other name) have a good clain running parallel with the Ida called tho
 -. The width of this ledge is aboui i've feet, three of which is good paying ore. They have done considerable prospect worl n tl;s l Jim and have commenced sinkine shaft on the ledge which is now down .bout ten feet. It is the intention of the 4~o AL. Il. n lble depth an1 to opol up he mine in gooc shape by drifting, etc. The three feet oi pre found in this ledge will average aLol' $50 per ton, but the best ore is being sorted ut for shipment to the concentrator fl frass Springs. some twelve miles dist mt. There are about 100 sacks on the dump now waiting transportation to the mill, which gill go from $50 to $100 per n. Tnls is the 'nly claim that is being worked to any ex ent ill Lost Basin district at the presen time and it is to be hoped that the enter .Drising miners who are putting in theil ime and muscle on this claim will be re 7arded for their labof.
 John Kreiner owns another good Clain which runs parallel and to the west of tn, Maud Ashbrook and which he calls the
 GOLDEN GATE MINE.
 The croppin2s on the main ledge cn this 'llim are twenLy-fve feet Nida in plAesA. nd there are two parallel lodges Sbout siz IT eight feet wide, running ten and twenty ieet appart from the main ledge, So that i, 'eality the ledge is some forty feet wide vhils two hundred feet west of this enor nous outcrop of ledgo matter is another edge two feet wide, each and every one O. them showing pay ore. Mir. kreiner has lone considerable work on this claim and is now on his way there for the purpose of do- ng more. Last summon | 3 worked a good teal of the ore through an aristra obtaiujp: $55 per ton as the result He has some twenty tons of ore now on the dump whicl le hopes to be able to havo concentrated d he Grass Springs mill-if it's pIoprietor ;educe their charges for concen ntrating or rom $15 to $10 per ton, as we understand hey have agreed to do.
 THE JULIA MINE
 s a good claim owned by Saanlon, Long street and others in the lower Lost Basin, some four miles from the river. Tais is a sen foot ledge of quartz dis;3lorel with ron, the croppings showing gold evsrr- where. Considerable work w3s done on his claim last fall and winter by it's owners rho have locatei several good claims in the lower basin, which spic3 will not per nit u to describe i'll this article.
 E. P. Crooker and Ed. RoAlle recently respected the upper basin for several days nd made number of locations. Sample rom the surface rock of each of these wer brought to Mineral Park for assay and wen bout SEQ per ton in gold and $4 to 5 il ilver. vory little difference in tho assays being noticeable.
 This district has been established littl. 'vez year and some eighty locat ions hay, )een recorded heretofore.
 Since the above was written a centlemar 7ho has just come in from the district in forms us that he has found several marrow freaks of galena which assay from S20J tc 1900 ill gold
 What is needed 60 give an impetus {, mining in that portion of Mohavo countyii il which this district is, is simply reducto works on large scale and these c; b. rected on the banks of the river at d ds ance of from four to six miles from tn, hines. There is already natural an, ,asy grade from the mines U tEs river ant good road could be constructed at almost my point at a very trlhing expense. The iver as it flows along the boundary of this district has considerable fall and would fur lish power enough to run an unllmite, number of stamps. With a 100 stamp mil :un by water power the cost of reducing the tree gold ores of this district would be re. iuced to a minimum while the galena an other ores might be concentrated by the 3ame cheap means and the coneent rationS toated down the river to the Needles where they could be shipped east or west on 5he cars. We believe that great future is tn store for all the mining districts border ing on the Colorado, in this county, ano more especially so for that particular one oi which we have been wit nr.
 The Globe CarOniele ing Of the death of Dr. O'DOu she-ty says: He IS a member of the famous Miner prosp sct nr plrty curly days. Later. ill comp my with w. dcpe and H. Diffenbach, he discovered the HIbernia mine in MOjave county, and siA years ago discovered the very rich groupe ot silver mines at the foot of the north peak oi
