 There were sixteen ear loads of ore shipped from Kingman last month. The average tonnage of each ear was fifteen tons. The orc would average about SS00 per ton, or $72.00O for the month. If this rate of production is kept up for the year, Mohaye county will have produced in the neighborhood of Sl,000,00O. For the first month in the new year this is remarkable showing, as usually there is not much ore shipped in at this season. -Mohave Miner.
 Prof. j. F. Blandy, who was ap- pointed to secure the statistics for the mint for this territory in regard to the mineral product has just completed his work, and submitted his report. The total product of gold for 1898, was 5S,9il ounces, and of silver 2,594,l3l ounces. Of this Yavapai produced l6,9S7 ounces of gold and 66,6I0 ounces in silver. The output of gold from this county is quite fstteriBg, considering that the three principal gold properties, the Congress, Hillside and Crowned King were idle during the year The gold output for 1894, from present indications, should be ten times as great as last year, as the Henrietta alone, at the present rate of work ing, will furnish double this amount. Yuma county's gold output was slightly in excess of Yavapai, while | MohAve county led all in its silver output.
 An item is going the rounds of l the press in reference to the bond | ing of the Congress mine. Superin- l tendent F. NJ. Murphy, who is also 1 largely interested in the property i when asked about it said that he | knew nothing of it, hence the in- ference is that there is no truth m | 1t. The item as it appeared in a Denver paper is as follows: It was learned to-day that the Congress mine, sixty miles northwest of Phe- | nix, has been bonded from the heirs | of Diamond Joe Reynolds for ST. 100000. The bond is held by Chas. l Armes and N. K. Fairbanks, the Chi | cago millionaires, and E. B. Gage, manager of the Grand Central of | Tombstone, owned by the same parties. The mine contains a very large deposit of medium grade sul- | phuretic gold ore, is extensively de- veloped and has on 1t a thirty stamp | mill. It has been lying idle for a year or so, owing to the death of | Reynolds and the high cost of | transportation. Now the Santa Fe Prescott X Phenix railroad is con structed within thirty miles of the mine and will reach 1t within a few when active work will be resumed.
