new road to the Goldfield city fror Mesa, although very warm day, wa made in about four hours. The ney road runs directly east from Mai street, Mesa, for fifteen miles, then di yerges slightly to the north over smooth, level country to Goldfield city
 and is comparatively free from tn
 small draws and washes SO common ol
 the old road. A gang of Mexicans hay,
 just finished clearing the road of brusl
 and trees and with pick and shove
 have filled up the small draws anC
 washes until now the road is almost al
 level as Main street and fixed up foI
 rapid travel.
 W. A. Kim ball and your correspond
 ent drove into the busy camp and were
 more than astonished to see the ad
 vsncement in the last few weeks. Large hOmelike frame houses and tents by the hundreds were seen on every hand.
 We found the busy miners swarminp
 Ike bees around the water, some en-
 gagged in pounding, crushing and oth.
 CTS pan in hand washing out the
 precious metal, eager to decipher the
 results of their days finds.
 The Mammoth mine owned by Hall
 and Sullivan of Colorado, still keeps in
 inc lead, although there are three other
 claims that show up as we'll as the Hall
 did when first prospected.
 The richness of the Mammoth ore is
 almost incredible and the more they
 develop the mine, the richer it gets.
 not only in pockets, but throughout, in
 fact it is hardly possible to pick up 8
 piece that you cannot see with your
 mouth" wire gold and frescoing cov-
 ering it's surface, and on breaking the
 rock you find it extends throughout,
 and if you wish to test it further take
 some of the ore on which no fine gold
 can be seen, crush it up and pan it out
 and you will find whole finger
 lengths" of the glittering metal. We
 were not allowed to go down in the
 shaft or drift, but were told that where
 they are now drifting under the rays of
 candle light the mine looks like a jew.
 ely shop. Above and beneath, to the
 risa, and left, can be seen the precious
 meta glittering and scintillating.
 M. A. G. Bsylis, the superintendent
 o' the mine, formerly of Colorado, is enthusiastic, and we'll may be for no richer prospect is there on earth. He las some thirteen men at present work ing on the mine, but they are all ex- Perienced miners and the results show big.
 There lis twenty-five feet of water in the old shaft, and although whim IS Iunning l2 hours daily, it does not ap- preciably lower the continual supply which is amply sufficient to run the mill. Just above the well, on top of the hill large circular reservoir, 25 feet in diameter and feet deep, is be- ing built, Just below the tank, the stamp mill will be constructed. It is tO be twenty stamper. Mir. Hall is at present. in California negotiating for the big timbers for the mine and mill and is expected daily when construction work on the mill will be begun. Within the next thirty days the whistle of the engine will be heard and the crushing stampers and sluicers will be turning out golden bars.
 The main shaft in the Mammoth, ! out of which the rich ore is being taken | ]: now but 35 feet deep, but drifts have | been made to the south, to the east and | 10 the west across the vein, showing | well defined walls of porphyry and | granite, and to the north where two | shifts are working at present.
 The ore from the latter drift is being | put into sacks averaging to 165 pounds. 10 be shipped to Denver for reduction.
 A remark dropped by Hall some time 8gOis being more than realized. That E, that be intended to make the mine pay for itself and the mill before the Etler was constructed.
 The ore shipped runs from s200 to s2OOJ per ton, and it costs about s35 Fer ton to mill it. Just south of the Mammoth joining the same is the Wasp Oelonging to l.. R. Morse, who has :unk shaft some 35 feet and has con- racted for 20 feet more. Mir. Morse has great hopes of this claim as it is Ooking better the deeper he goes. Joining the Wasp on the south is the Riverside, located by Mir. s. Greyson, a from Riverside, Cal, who is 'usily engaged in developing and as the ormation is the same as the Mammoth ie expects big returns. Just north of he Wasp is the rich Cosner claim, the Ioater, on which a shaft twenty feet eep has been sunk and is showing up 9 be one of the richest in the camp. o the north and west of the Mammoth re the rich claims belonging to Hakes& smb. The Hawks boys have con acted for the sinking of the Highland which shaft twenty feet has been lnk and the claim is showing up rich visible free gold. "Black Joe" just orth of the Highland, is being worked J flakes & Lamb themselves, and is 'unted among the richest in the camp. the east and south about a mile on Goldfeld City is a rich claim 'rrylng gold, silver and copper, be- 'nglng to w. A. Kimball X Go. Due orth of this is the rich find Rob Roy, elonging to c. White and others, hich however has only been prospect l., Still north of this claim is the ell known Jones claim, which has cen bonded for $35,000. There are Iher claims which show rich on the lriace but have not been developed. number of frame houses have been uilt near the mine and on the town Ie, and business houses are going up ally, Tents are numerous. and under
