drift along the ledge 135 feet, the contract
to be compile ted in 12O days.
N. G. Amer is awaiting the arrival OF
some new steam hosting machinery,
which he intends putting up on the Silver
King. There is too much water to han
die for the whim, and steam hoist is
imperative for the economical working OF
the mine.
W. G. Campbell has obtained bond
on the Orc Plata and Mariposa mines in
Todd Basin, and he will in few weeks
put up plant to work the ore from these
mines. The work Of leveling the ground

made in one Of the upper levels, but the
extent is not known.
Manager NJ. d. Howell has closed
down the G. O. d. mine for the present.
There is too much water for the present
hoisting machinery to handle. When

deal OF prospect work done.
Mr.. Lawrence, Of Ivanpah, was in
Kingman this week with lot Of high
grade ore from that district, which he
had worked at the Kingman Sampling
Works. He reports but little doing in
that camp, as but few Of the mines are
being worked on account Of the great
cost Of getting the ore to the railroad.
NJ. d. Howell returned last Saturday
from trip to Eldorado Canyon. While
there he took bond on some valuable
prospects, and will shortly develop them.
He is well pleased with the mines in that
section and particularly with the prop
critics OF the Southwestern mining COM
pany, which are at present paying hand
somely. With better shipping facilities
a good camp would soon be made there.
Messrs. Welsh and Porter, Of the o. X.
mining company, Of Kansas City, were

line laid and the mill moved from the
river to point eighteen miles up the
Wallapai valley and in running order by
the first Of June. They propose to push
things at a lively rate.
