Mining and Prospecting in the Mammoth
 Region.
 The visitor to the country about ! Mammoth is at once struck with the change that has taken place since the closing of the Mammoth mine and discharge of the large force engaged in the mine and at the mill. That the closedown is permanent is not possible there is too much wealth remaining in its depths but the company are de- liberating and discussing various pro- posed plan, for a more economical handling and reduction of the ore Heretofore the ore has been hauled distance of three miles between the mine and the mill, and passed by hand from the dumping floor to the crusher. When ore production is resumed the work of handling will all be done auto matically. Whether the ore shall be transported by tramway or railway, or a mill erected at the mine and wa ter pumped from the river, are among the points involved in the present de- liberation. Processes of reduction are also under consideration, experiments with the ore having been made by the Raher nrocess and the Forrest-McAl- lister process, both proving very satis- factory in results and economical. When the details are all settled the mine win be put in first class order and will again rank high as producer.
 Bot the present idlenesso of the Mann moth. with the discharge Of it's large force of labor. has made times very dull in that part of the county. To take right out of circulation about thousand dollars a day. as has been done by stoppage of the Mammoth wnuld make times dull most anywhere.
 THE MOHAWK MINE.
 Adjoining the Mammoth. on an eX- tension of the same ledge is the Mo hawk mine, which has developed a large body of low grade gold ore of the same character Fifty tons of Mohawk ore recently treated in the Mammoth mill yielded very satisfactory results.
 Development on the Mohawk con- sists of two prospecting shafts. l3l and ll2 feet deep respectively, and a drift about 20O feet long connecting them at the bottom shafts and drift an in ore. Higher on the hill double compartment shaft is sinking. Mr. Kilberg having the contract which is for depth of 324 feet. This shaft is 1oxG feet in dimension, double com nartment with a manway. Al depth Inf dfty-three feet work was suspended on this shaft. awaiting timbcrs that are brought from the santa Catalinas. rimber Is now being delivered. work on the shaft has been resumed and will he vigorously prosecuted until the con tract depth k reached. At POO feet the ore body will be cut, connections made with the two prospecting shafts, and themine well opened for operation When requisite mill and holster will he erected, everything after the latest and most approved patterns, calculated to do the work expeditiously, effect iyely and economically. At present only ten men are employed, but as the vork progresses more will be employed, MT. Bailey Is manager of the compa- py's interests.
 THE BATES MINE,
 On the Gila, about halfway between Riverside and Dudleyylle. Messrs. J T. Bates and J. Y. Newman have re
