w. f. Grounds has opened up fine
body of ore in his Music mountain
mine, upon which he has been at work
for some time past. The ore assayed
was taken from a two foot vein and
gave a return of over fifteen ounces in
gold. The samples were taken from
the tunnel, which is being driven in on
the vein, but it was not expected that
they would show such high values.
On the surface, some distance ahead
of the breast of the tunnel, the ore was
of a good milling value and it was to
tap this ore chute that the tunnel was
started, Mr.. Grounds has over hun.
dred feet of virgin ground over him in
the tunnel and expects to strike better
ore farther on. He will ship ore from
the mine at once.

The banquet and dance at Chloride
last Saturday evening was great sue
cess, but our private opinion is that
the ladies furnished the eatables for
the occasion. No men or set of men
could have gotten up those dreamland
cakes aud epicurean salads; only wo.
men, fair women could have given the
flavor they contained. DR.. Whitesides
was master of ceremonies and if every
body did not get their full measure of
enjoyment it was not his fault, as he
rather encroached upon his own en-
joyment of the affair to make Others
feel comfortable. Kingman people
who attended have the warmest com
mendation for the treatment received
and especially at the hands of DR.,
Whitesides. The committee realized
about SIS from the affair.

man, arrived from San Francisco last
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Ayres is the
owner of the Golden Gem and other
valuable mining interests in this
county aud came here to close up the
sale of some of those interests. He
says that oil has the edge on San Fran
cisco Investments. The brokers have
put miniature pumping wells in their
windows and the crowds that gather
there to look at them at times block
the streets in front of the buildings.
The oil craze was slow in getting to
San Francisco, but when it got there it
took firm grip on the market. Mr..
Ayres will remain in Kingman for
