About a mile west of the White
Cloud mine near Wickenburg is To-
Gated the Expos ition group, which un-
doubtedly holds the record for the
largest productions from the small
amount of workings on the property
of auy in the district, the ore taken
out in the original pros pecting opera
tions having as stated, returns 260S
per ton, although there has been taken
out considerable free gold ore which
gave much larger returns. The vein
lies on a contact between the porphyry
and talco-schist formation and from
the working shaft that is now being
sunk, it is impossible to determine the
size of the ledge, AS the workings have
cut but the foothills and side of the
ledge and until the hanging wall is
reached in prosecuting it is impossible
to determine the size of the ledge. The
indications so far showing that the
ledge is increasing in size with depth.
The Exposition Mining Company who
own this property, is controlled by the
Picacho Blanco mining company and
they are now equipping this property
with hoisting works and working as
large force as possible day and night
siuking the maia shaft.-Phenix Ga.

Tom Elder aud Charles Davis have
returned from trip to the Brads haw
specting mining proposition. They
looked up mining interests generally
en- route and report active progress all
along the line. At Briggs they say a
large nun Der of Mexicans are taking
out the gold by the arastra process,
aud selling the mineral. The two
travellers stopped at the Crown Point
mine owned by Col. A. o. Brodie, and
we're warmly welcomed by our future
governor. The Colonel informed them
that he was building wagon road
from Castle Creek to Crown Point for
the purpose of transporting oil to his
mine as he intends to burn oil in his
works. Col. Brodie informed them
that he would be in Phenix about the
25th of the month At the Boaz mine,
owned by Mr. Kiley, fifty stamps are
pounding away on ore, and Mr.. Kiley
is getting everything ia shape for big
run. He has fifty meu employed on
the works and is putting mp cyanide
plant. The Button mine, about mile
aud half from the Boaz, il shut down
on account of litigation, though the
owners expect to be able to resume
operations very shortly. The Mohawk
mine, on Pine creek, employees twelve
men doing development work They
are going to put mp ten stamp mill
on the property. A large body Of high
grade ore is in sight and considerable
on the dump. There are several more
good mining propositions in the dis
trict of Briggs and Pine Creek that are
doing well.-Phenix Gazette.
Cheerful news comes in from the
Revenue mine at Richmond Flat. There
are ~ miners employed there now, and
the reports are to the effect that the
mine is looking better than ever be
fore. The mine is down l6j feet, and
the ore chute is going down on the
lower level and producing some of the
best ore yet taken from the property
The ore chute Is two feet wide ano
samp Piles 2SSs per ton by carload assays
The output for April was five carloads
and that for May will probably exceed
this somewhat. The second class, oil
milling ore, of which there are 5,00C
tons on the dump, samples l2s per ton
also by carload assays. The Revenue
is the most successful producer in th'
Meadow creek region, and its excellent
record in his res pect is mainly due tC
the capability and judicious manage
ment of the efficient superintendent
Roger &. Knox, who is indefatigable II
