 From the Kingman Miner,
 Why would it not be a good invest ment for some gentleman having a knowledge of the methods of burning lime to put up kiln near Peach Springs Limestone of the best quality exists there in unlimited quantities.
 The Sheriff's office has been doing missionary work among the tramp con tingent this week. There are altogether too many of this class of people coming into kingman and our Sheriff intends to make them travel or earn their bread on the roads in and around the town.
 Henry Lambert brought in twenty nine head of beef cattle for distribution among the Wallapais. The cattle were slaughtered Tuesday and the rations is- sued Wednesday. Mir. Bum made the issue in place of Superintendent Me Cowan, who was too busy to come up from Mohave City.
 In sinking the wing from the lower tunnel level in the Diamond Joe mine a rich strike has been made, The ore streak is about a foot in width, of solid metal, and is considered richer by far than anything ever before found in that vicinity. There is no doubt of the mine being veritable bonanza.
 The snow is almost gone from the Wallapai mountains, and soon mining and prospecting will be resumed in that locality. The Maynard district is rich in gold, silver and lead, of which metals it has been large producer for the last fifteen or twenty years. The American Flag mine alone has produced upwards of $l00, 900 since it's discovery.
 J. P. Finegan was in town the first of the week with several tons of rich ore from his Big Boy mine in Chloride. The ore is very high grade and will net him several hundred dollars. The mine is located near the house formerly owned by John Buckley, and how it had never before been discovered is a mystery, as it lay in plain sight on the surface of the ground.
 Reuben Wright came in from Gold Basin Wednesday evening. He reports that about two hundred and fifty tons Oi oiS Wdb run lilIOuSH liit iulll anu lIle cleanup was made few days ago, but as the bullion had not been melted and averaged, he did not know to what per centage the ore was worked, but thought the showing would be far better than expected.
 John Lynch informs us that the work of pumping out theC o D mine has been commenced. Wednesday the water was reduced five feet. It will probably be something over month before the mine can be thoroughly drained, and then mining will be commenced in earnest. MT. Lynch is an energetic young man and is certain to make complete success of this undertaking.
 Our miners and prospectors need not go on any wild-goose chase into unknown regions, drawn on by alIuring stories of wonderful mineral discoveries for odr own county offers every advantage to the man who is willing to work and open up the numberless lodges of gold and silver contained within its borders. To the prospectors every advantage is offered. Our hills are full of water and lodges heretofore hidden have been uncovered by the recent rains.
 James Reilly, better known as "63" Reilly, came in from Old Woman's Mountain Tuesday. He informs us that there are some of the finest gold and sil- yer properties in that section to he found on the coast. He brought in twenty or thirty pounds of samples, showing a great deal of horn silver, which he ayers came from number of locations made by himself. Hunter, Scanlan X Cart wright have been doing great deal of development work on their properties and now have several of the most prom ising opened up in good shape. The dis trict is eighteen miles southwest of Danby Station and about the same dis tance from Fenner, on the Atlantic & Pacific railroad. The new camp has a great future before it, and we hope the pioneers will make their fortune out of their first locations.
