device may not be applied to many
uses in the future, but the engine is

Responsible parties have submitted
to the Ray company a proposal to
place the Ray mines on paying basis
inside of year if the company would
put up 20.0OOS to meet the cost of the
work. The parties offer to put up a
twenty thousand dollar bond, binding
themselves to pay the company 20,OOOs
at the end of the year if they fail to
put the mines on a paying basis within
the time specified. The parties sub

One of the best bodies of gold ore
judging from the present outlook
ever made in the Bradshaw mountains
was made about three weeks ago in
the Lincoln mine. This property is
situated about 40 miles south OF Pres
colt. in the vicinity of the Crowned
King and Gladiator. The strike re.
ferred to was made in a tunnel run
into the mountain on the Quien Sabe
claim, one of the best in the group. At
40 feet body of gold quartz was
struck, four feet 10 width and as fine
looking gold ore as person would like
to see. Free gold can be seen shining
in many pieces of rock as they are TAX
en- from the tunnel. Some of the min
ers working for the company have
worked in all the big mines in the
Brad shaws and say the strike is the
best one they have ever seen in that
we'll known district. Any of the ore
from the four foot ledge horns so we'll
that the parties interested are certain
that they have one of the biggest and
best bodies Of gold ore in that district.
The property was considered very
rich mine before the last strike was
made, and now the group could not be
purchased from the company for 80.

Asbestos has recently advanced in
price. The demand for the mineral is
increasing much faster than the sup

development has so far been accom-
plished and when operations are much
impeded as yet by the heavy snowfall
