 Extension company. A force of mel
 will shortly be put at work sinking
 the shaft on the property and worl
 will be continued on it until it ha'

 W. B. Moore and Bert Grove re ceived their returns yesterday iron the recent shipment of ore from thei new find near Skull valley. They re ceived after all expenses were deduct ed, S1,3S5.S7 as a result of sixteer days work.
 The Journal Miner is in receipt oi photo of the mill and works of the Button Gold Mining company, al Minnehaha. This picture presents the property in a very business like appearance. Very little is heard oi this property but it is being operated very successfully just the same. Wm Button is the manager of it.
 w. E. Johnson, millionaire mine owner, died in a hospital at St. Paul after two weeks illness. He was about fifty years old. He, with D. H. Moffat and others, built the Flor ence & Cripple Creek railroad. He was heavily interested in Cripple Creek mines, and one of the princi- pal owners of the new smelter at Florence.
 Recent reports from the new strike near Wickenburg are to the effect that the shaft has been sunk to a depth of 100 feet and a cross cut is being run at this point to determine the width of the ledge. It has already been run 64 feet without finding any indications of wall. There is no waste in the ore taken out and it is claimed that it will average SEQ per ton across the entire width of the opening, while some place it at $50 per ton.
 Sinking on the big Schulylkill shaft commenced yesterday. The bottom of the shaft is now POO feet be- low the surface and it is the intention of the manager, w. D. O'Neill, to sink the shaft as rapidly as possible 1000 feet deep. This is the kind of mining that makes the old Mohave county miner feel glad. They invariably be- lieve that with depth no county will have better or bigger mines than Mo have county. The big hoist is op- erated with oil.-Kingman Mineral Wealth.
 The Pennsylvania & Arizona com pany are shipping tive car loads of high grade ore this week. They also ship weekly about p tons of concen- trates, worth over Sl00 per ton. This company is experimenting with differ ent processes of concentration and when they find the one most suitable to their ores they will erect large plant at their mine. Of the tests so far made the Hooper pneumatic con centrator is far ahead of the wet pro- cesses. The makers of this machine claim a saving capacity of over 95 per cent on any yores except oxides and chlorides.- -Kingman Mineral Wealth.
 Since taking the bond on the On tario group of mines, D. NJ. Martin has sunk shaft 120 feet deep on the property, with a fine showing of ore. The ground is very soft and easy worked, and they are averaging about four feet per day in sinking. MT. Martin, as well as those interested with him, believe they have the mak ing of a good property there and they propose to make it just as rapidly and as soon as possible. The ore is cop per, and at the present depth they are getting a good quality of carbonates.
 The report submitted by the Los Angeles Stock board committee which recently examined the Queen of Ari- zona's property in this section is very complimentary to the property. The report was published in full by the Los Angeles Times, taking up over a column of the paper. It gives in detail a mention of each property owned by the above company togeth- CT with the equipment of machinery on them and makes a very readable article and at the same time very correct description of the holdings of the Queen of Arizona.
 The thousands of old Tombstoners scattered over the world will be glad to learn that E. B. Gage has consoli- dated the Grand Central, Contention and Toughnut interests. and will at once reopen those wonderfully rich mines on a grander scale than ever. It is mistake to suppose that the pro duct of Tombstone was exclusively silver as good value in gold is in all the ore, while the ore bodies at and below water level are immense. The Tribune man believes from a long and intimate acquaintance with these properties, which have paid their tens of millions in dividends, that Tomb stone will again resume its proud position as the leading mining camp of Arizona.

 Superintendent Geo. H. Daily of the HenFitta mine was in town today, having brought in a bar of bullion from the above mine. He says that the Henrietta is showing up better than ever before in its history. Since taking charge of the property Mir. Daily has sunk new shaft, and at the 100 foot level of it he has run drift for 300 feet, opening up an ore body extending the full length of the drift. There is about 12 inches of this ore body that runs from S70 to Sl00 per ton in gold. There is still good ore in the old workings, but this is all new ground and adds very much to the value of the property. Mir. Daily is running the mill right along, and the Henrietta may now be considered as having settled down as regular pro ducer of gold.
 News leaks out of a rich gold find nine miles from Kyrene. Burnett Bros. of Mesa are the pioneers and for one and half years they have been working, single handed. Others have been let into the secret and several new claims have been located. Burnett Bros. are running a tunnel to strike the vein at lower depth and their reason for finally allowing others into the mine was because of expense of tunneling. There is q good deal of smothered excitement on the south side, as those who have seen samples
