The property owned by E. $. l.. Jack son and Willard Bonduf, nt of this city, in the Plomosa mining district. con- tinues to imptove with development work. said one of the owners who was in town yesterday. They are down now 1S0 feet on one claim and the showing Is most encouraging. The copper body seems to be immensely large and sat isfactorily rich. Operations have been continuous till wirhln few days, but work will be commenced again shortly. Tt is going to be money maker, say the owners.
 Readers of The Republican have been informed from time to time of the work of dredging for gold on the lower Colo rado near Yuma, a work that 1t is be- lieved will soon be brought to a suc- cess,ful demonstration. In fact the dredgers are now preparing for big trial run. This work or work of the same nature is even further advanced on the upper Colorado in Utah and re- garding it the Denver Times has this to say: "E. w. Stanton, manager of the eastern company operating placer
  western Utah, passed through Denver q few days ago on his way to New York, and while here gave some inter- eating details concerning the big dredge now in operation on the company's s property. He said that since the com pletion of the dredge it has worked without a hitch, and saves the gold in quantities that amply justify the in- vestment The river has been very high this spring and the water conse- quently very badly rolled. but 1t seems to have made little, if any, diff ference in the output of the machine. Mir. stanton did not say what the re- suits of the operations had been beyond the fact that the enterprise was de- cided success, but said that his visit to New York was for the purpose of consulting with the directors of the company regarding its future policy. He said that he anticipated that the company would order at least one new dredge. The gold found in the river sands is very fine ard difficult to save with the ordinary methods. but the dredge makee a good saving and occa-
 
 which the gold Is as large as fine shot. Farther up some men are doing well with rockers"

 l.. D. Carter. the well known Colorado mining expert was in Yuma last week. Mir Carter has been at the Potholes for some time. says the Sentinel, test ing his new dry concentrating machine on gold bearing gravel; the same proved very satisfactory He has se- cured options on q large tract of placer ground and will this fall erect a large plant for working the ground on large scale.

 Speaking of recent operations on the Blue Dick property in Yavapai county the Journal Miner says. "A. R. Flisch- mann, who is working the Blue Dick mine has been doing so in a very quiet and unostentatious manner. and while he may not be implicitly obeying the scripture command not to let his left hand know what his right hand is doing. he certainly has not been mak- ing any great noise about his opera tions. but has kept digging" all the time. The Blue Dick has always borne good reputation as producer of mineral and it Is one of the Yavapai properties cs wf1i-h no adverse criti- cism Is heard from the professional knocker and his near relative, the un- fortunate pessimist. While it has never been worked on regular mining principles. its former owners when in need of funds. always turned their at tention to this mine and 1t never failed to respond to their demands when backed up by work. Mir. Fleishmann has recently struck quite large body of very rich ore, assorted samples of it giving a value ot between $300 and S400 per ton. After various eXperi- ments in treating the ore it has been decided that it can be most success fully treated by the smelting process, and work is now in progress for it's construction. and it is expected to have it in operation within the next sixty days. Mir. Fleishmann recently pur- chased the New Year group of mines in the McCabe district from H. K. Behm. and has already ordered a hoist for the property, and az soon as 1t is in place will commence active opera tions in the development of the prop erty. The property already has sev- eral hundred feet of development work done on 1t, and nearly all of the open
