 There Is no part Of the Bradshaw range that is more interesting than the surrounding Bradshaw Bssin. The elevation enables 8 sight of Phoe | nix, with glass, on 8 clear day. The | early history of Bradshaw City, now de- | csyed, would furnish interesting read ing.
 The principal mines in this section, now in operation, are the Grown King and the Gladiator.
 For the past eleven months 6426 tons of ore have been handled at the mill, yielding $186, 200 IS, an average of s28.84 per ton. The statement made by the homogeneous, covering twenty two months up to July, shows the handsome sum of $399, ,668 Oa.

Ii will require 400 feet of an extension to reach the apex of the mountain. The steam hoist ie located 21l feet above the main tunnel and on the surface The levels below the main tunnel are tour h number. The first is driven 1926 feet, equally divided north and south on the lode. The 2O0-foos level shows 1273 feet. The 300 level has 10S6 feet. The 400 is driven 683 feet. Rs ports say the richest ore is coming from the 400 level. Pumps are stationed at the third and fourth levels. The sup ply of water continues to increase on the lower levels. It is encouraging to anticipate an abundance of water in depth ns this will finally enable the company to erect a large plant at the mine.
