larger and larger, and the news of new
and rich discoveries of the precious
metals keeps coming in from almost
every direction of the district. The
very latest in new and rich discoveries
of valuable metals comes down the
Cerbat range from the Redemption
mine belonging to Robt. j. Ferguson
& Sons. A month ago il was prospect
hole in the side of the mountain, with
probably the work of two assessments
done upon it in a drift. Two weeks
ago, however, the owners concluded
that they would do the annual assess
ment for the present year, and a little
development work was hardly bgun
before blast broke into a body of
eighty ounce silver ore rnnning high in
copper. The work is going on now
very steadily, taking out the rich vein
matter aud asserting and sacking l. for
shipment. 1t is bonanza and No. mis-
take, and this question is ger orally
agreed upon by the many who have
paid the wonderful discovery g. visit
Mr.. Ferguson, who was late foreman of
the Elkhart mine, is, with his two
sons, experimenting the work of de
velopment in person.
Nothing can be said in addition to
that already narrated in regard to the
Tennessee, Elkhart, Merrimac and
Minnesota mines. The output and
management of work In the Big Four
is satisfactory, not only to the happy
stockholders but to the general public
alike. The constant work of developing
water for the concentrators in the big
mines has greatly increased the guam
tity of concentrates for shipping of late
and more teams are now engaged haul
ing it to Kingman than a month ago. In
fact there are no idle teams or freight
ers to be found now anywhere in the
district.
The work of building new houses is
going on daily and almost nightly, and
lumber and building material can
hardly be had for this purpose. The
lumber yard is behind with orders and
many loads of lumber are being rushed
in through the night as well as day to
meet the demand.
J.P. Fineyan commenced the erection
of large frame warehouse close to his
mercantile establishment Monday, and
ID. w. Aaron. the contractor and
builder, is working every man that he
can pushing it to completion. This is
for new and additional business that
had its origin since the great boom
began only few weeks ago.
Mrs. VI. Stine has arrived from Phe-
nix and is opening out the finest and
largest stock of millinery goods that
Mohaye county ever boasted. The To-
cation of the establishment is on Bull
lion street near the corner of Kingman
avenue, in large frame building be-

California is having the largest

Juicy steaks and roasts by son of the
golden state.
AL Green, the shoe man, has opened
out book store and news depot in his
shoe shop, and all the latest dailies
periodicals, books and magazines will
soon be displayed upon his shelves.
Not the least conspicuous among the
array of literature is the Kingman
MINER, and the supply this week fell
far short of the demand. Mr.. Green
will increase his stock in this line with
a good assortment of stationery and
writer's articles.
The jumping of town lots has ceased;
and everybody seems TO be satisfied
with matters az they now stand, and
each one is making an effort to inn
prove his property. Many undisputed
locations, however, are yet being made,
but they are in open territory in the

south and east and west in the outer
edge of town in the direction of the
mountains on the east side. The loca-

or residence property is not known.
All the ground is now located and
