All reports from the Sonora Mining
 x Milling company's property are confirmations of the good judgment of Con O'Keefe in purchasing the property and those who were fortu-
 nate enough to secure stock in the company ats25 cents will make nice little profit from their investment.
 According to the Miner and Manu- facturer the Bisbee mines are close rival of the United Verde Copper company in the amount and value of its product. The paper says that it is reliably reported the Copper Queen, is shipping from four to five car loads of bullion a day from its mines at Bisbee, equal to about 200,- 900 pounds of copper a day. The bullion carries some gold, but not so much as the copper bullion shipped from the Verde district, but, some. nevertheless, the value of which can only be guessed at. But besides whatever gold the Copper Queen bull | lion carries, it Is we'll known that it carries, added to the value of the 2OO,- GOO pounds of copper, would give a value of nearly if not quite, S40,000 day, or a gross value of S14,400,000 year. The above figures represent the value of the United Verde's regu- lar output.
 The manager of the Sonora Mining & Milling company, who was at No gales early this week, stated that the rapid development of the mines of the company now in progress since the force has been greatly increased is disclosing wealth of deposit far be- yond the expectations of gentlemen who had closely examined it in the earlier stages of the development work. The company had previously decided upon an enlargement of the plans for the mill and machinery. It is probable that the later develop ments may make still further exten- sion of the plans advisable. There is growing impression that these mines will develop into one of the greatest mining properties in Sonora, which within the last four years and more especial ly within the last two, has be- come famous throughout the world as a great mining region.-Republican. i
 E. s. Osborn came in from Prescott Monday evening. where he has been | purchasing machinery and tanks for 1 his mining property on Bill Williams [ Fork. The machinery will be hauled . overland and is expected to arrive in ] Kingman in a few days. A large lot | of material and supplies will be load ed on the teams at this point and the wagons will then continue on their way to the mines. It is the intention of NIT. Osborn to do a great deal of work on the property before winter and is now getting things in shape to begin work. Tanks for hauling water to the different mines have been built and tanks of larger capacity will be put in at each of the camps During the warm weather water will have to be hauled to the mines.-Mohave Miner.
 One of the promising properties of this county is the Buckhorn group of mines near the Model mine, which is being worked by c. E. Riblet. It is true that the development work is vet limited, but for the amount done the showing is remarkable In a shaft being sunk, a body of ore twelve feet wide has been cut into, the ore from which gives an assay value of from S35 to $50 Ore has been en- countered which goes as high as S270 and the lowest assay returns received from it was $500. There is a long chute of ore near the surface which has been prospected at different points, and the formation being simi- lar to that of the Congress mine and the ore resembling it also very closely it is reasonably expected that like this property the ore body of the
