MINING IN MOHAVE.
 EIdorado Canyon, Union Pass ard Up
 the Sacramento Valley.
 Kingman, Ariz., Dec. 15.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- The belief seems to be widesprea1 in counties remote from this sec ton that in the White Hills the entire mining of this county IS conducted. While the biggest silver camp is wonderful mining proposition in it. self there is much else in the line that is known in Mohave to almost every man, woman and child old enough to read. I have already touched upon the south end, or thad lying below Kingman, and also conveyed infor- mation affecting the Union Pass prop osition, in which J. c. Dexter, B. H. Spear and Hon o. D. M. GaGdis are involved, these gentlemen having in teresed Emmens, Strong & Co., of New York city in aiding h5.m to de- velop certain promising claims. I find in close proximity to the Union Pass cOmpany'S group, whose field of operations lies twenty-five miles northwest of Kingman, the Emma Emma Fraction, Sheep Trail and Sheep Trail No. 2, group which Thomas Ewing, an energetic Cal:for- mia miner, is having worked under a bond. Six feet of surface workings show $60 in gold to the ton. MT. Ew- ing left for the scene of operations last Monday and now has fifteen men employed in the camp. Tho se o4 through that gentleman that the group is great trio and which vii be heard from in fine form in a short fime. KingmRn is the source Of SUD- ply.
 George BuMnham is at the head of mining enterprise conducted by a Philadelphia company in Eldorado canyon, eighty miles northwest of the Needles in California The camp was struck in 1864 and the company now operating started work in 1871. Tn :se are good silver and gold mires, a doz- en in the lgroup. Forty thousand dol lars is taken out monthly The ores are hauled nine miles to a fifte II stamp mill. From the Colorado an abundance of water is secured.
 A Kincaid mill of twelve tons ca. pacity, located not far from the above place, is working gold ores from ths mines of the Philadelphia company Mon1han & Murphy of the Needles are operating a centrifugal mill of ter tons capacity two miles further dow the river, working ores from thei1 mines. Oposite, on the Mohave coun ty side IS the Gold Bug, which is gro duclng wonderful ore. This is tn. Vanderbilt company proposition il the Minnesota district. Mr. Dan Mur phy was at Kingman on Sunday tf consult parties.
 A number of men are deNelopins a group in the hills west of Deser station in the Sacramento valley i1 the interest of the White Hills Min ing and Milling company.
 Over the hills northwest cf K:rg man and fourteen miles by wagol road is the Cerbat mountain sheen district, where is located the Eursk mine of Tub Ayers of Kingman. Ay CTS, two years prior to entering into bond with c. D. Lane of Califo mia took 1000 toms valued at S6O 900 frou this mine, having stopped fifty fee above a 2S1 foot drift from 100 foo shaft, the ore running high. c. I Tosier, man of wide experience, wh was operating for Lane, sunk tn shaft loo feet deep ard run dr.t parallel with that run by Ayres an of about the same length. This wor disclosed such a low grade that Tos fer gave it up temporarily, only a wee ago. Those familiar with Ayres work believe that if Tosier had stoI ed towards Ayres's stoping he woul have encountered the ledge Ayres gc got his rich ere from. MT Ayres i satisfied Tosier will return and rt sume operations before many month Aside from the Eureka there ha been little doing in the Cerbat di: trict. The Gro Plata, owned by Joh w. Garritt of Kingman, is good prt ducer, gold predominGting. Tn property is three miles from Cerba Work in Mineral Park on line nort six miles, in the same range, is ligh This is an old district where Chi, Justice Webster Street fo merly pra ticed. By the way, Tom Steen, an ol miner and brother of the former she if of Hohave, a courageous felIs0 sent his regards to the judge.
