 The Crowned King mill, which was shut down for some timo while certain improvements were being made, started up week ago again grinding out dividends for the stock holders of the company.
 Warren Day, son of Dr. w F.. Day, came in yesterday from the Grand Canyon mine being operated by W. H. Ferguson. He says the property continues to grow better and better, as far as the quality of the ore IS concerned, and Mir. Fergu- son continues to make regular ship meuts.
 Thomas and James Roach have sold their Mohawk group of mines on Pine creek to Hooper and Will liams for S25,000. They have been working the claims for four or five years and have 1t pretty well opened up showing four foot vein of ore which goes Sl5 per ton in gold. The claim is considered, by parties who sre familiar with 1t as one of the most promising in the county.
 ]. r. Bauder, manager of the New Hope mining and milling company, has six men at work on the Noun tain Driver group of mines in Eu- gene gulch in the Chaparral district. The above company has a bond on the property which IS owned by Alex. Denny. It shows up very well as far as developed and the company proposes to sink POO feet deeper to ascertain what can be found with depth.
 John Duke, whc came in yesterday from the Copper Chief mining camp says that the machinery for the steam hoist and air compressor for that company has been placed in position and for the first time the whistle blew on Monday night. NIT. Hendy, who has charge of the prop erty, is pushing work on it as fast as possible and with the aid of this hoist and air compressOrf for running drills he will make much more rapid headway now.
 H. A. Wilcox, who came in from Jerome yesterday, says that two car loads of machinery arrived at Je- rome yesterday for the United Verde EXtenson mining company. The machinery consisted of two boilers, two of the very latest and most im- proved hoists, an air compressor. drills, etc. One of the hoists and the air compressor and drills will be placed on 1888 mine withia q few feet of the United Verde company's works and the other hoist will be placed on the Jerome claim. As soon as this machinery is placed in position the work of sinking d shaft on each of these claims will be com menced and the work pushed as rapidly as possible. In the mean time work is progressing rapidly in running a tunnel on the Jerome claim and one on the Eureka Ex- tension of the same group owned by the company.
 R. J. Holmes of Kirkland. was in town yesterday. He recently sold his mine, the Monarch, about two miles northwest of Fishers mill m Peoples valley, to A. W. Fisher, for ] S20,000, says the Republican. The deal was practically cash. The property has been developed we'll and although the ledge is small it runs a good grade of ore which IS easily milled. 4 ten-stamp mlll is on the property. MT. Holmes has other claims closer to Kirkland winch he will develop from the pro ceeds of the Monarch, and be be- ! lieves them to be even more valu- able than the mine just sold. He says the Monarch could not be  bought now for twice the sum he re- ceived. Ills other properties bear larger and more prominent veins, Near them ara other properties owned by other people and all re- cent discoveries. MT Holmes says that the prospect of Jack Owen will in his opinion, develop into a large mine. It is only a prospect, but the immense vein, ninety feet is cross section at the mouth of the shalt shows signs of continuity as the de velopment progresses. The assay returns on this ledge show an aver. age of Sl6 in gold. The veins as fal as explored runs free milling ore On all the properties in that section the gold ore veins are large. One on MT. Holmes prospect measure: fifty-two feet at the mouth of tho shaft. Mir. Holmes is confident thal that section will be heard from on { large scale soon. He believes that ultimately a good camp %ill be es- tablished, and at least he is willing } to invest his money in an attempt.
