Last Saturday evening the New Com
stock Mining company shipped to the
Arizona Central bank bar of bullion
from partial cleanup of a weeks run
of the Sheeptrail mill. The bullion
was clean aud contained about 5JGS.
The batteries we're not touched in max
ing the cleanup only that on the plates
having been specifically cleaned. 1t
is thought tha, when general cleanup
is made it will show big result. The
company is putting on more men in
the mine and at the mill. So far every
thing is running along smoothly aud
the slopes showing better than when
first broken into.

A Big Deal Pending.

oilVer L. fosey, one OF the big' share
holders Of the Gold Road mines,
arrived in Kingman yesterday accom-
panied by three capitalists from
France. The men continued on to
Gold Road, where an examination will
be made of the mines under the man
agement of Mr.. Posey. If the mines
come up to the representation a deal
will be consummated that will necessi.
tate the payment of about 5,00O,000S, so
1t is alleged. The Gold Road mines
were discovered about two years ago
and first passed to Los Angeles men
for 50,000S when but a ten foot hole had
been sunk on the veins After the ex.
penditure of a few thousand dollars
the mines were sold to Posey and
Others for the sum of 2j0,O00S With
the addition of another group of prop
critics the deal now in progress of in
cubation requires the payment of the
largest sum of money ever paid for
mining property in Arizona.
The probable sale of the Gold Road
group of mines and the fact that the
properties have already been passed
upon by one of the best mining experts
in the United States evidences the fact
that the Gold Road country is recog.
niZed as one of the richest sections of
the west. The Gold Road mine shows
immense bodies of free milling gold
ore that gives an average value of near.
ly 20S to the ton. In the one mine
alone it is estimated that there is more
than l,000,O0JS in sight, while on the
other properties the outcrop shows
thousands of tons of good milling ores.
The other additions to the group are
said to be even better than the Gold
Road. The connecting mines of the
group are being taken up under bond
pending the settlement of the main
points at issue between the sellers and
the purchasers. These small proper
ties will pass for good sums of money
each and will go into the group.
There is no doubt that Gold Road
and surrounding camps will become
the greatest producers of gold in the
whole southwest within year, even if
the big deal is not pulled off. The
mines are now 10 such an advanced
state of development that the installa.
ton Of milling facilities will put them
in line for the production of thousands
of dollars monthly. Water can be
readily had in the camp, while the
river is but few miles away. An elec.
trio tram can easily be put in to con-
vey the ores to the river in case it was
| found necessary to do so, or the in.
stallation of an electrical Transmission
plant can be put in from a nearby point
on the railroad. There are now many
hundred locations in that district
many of which shows excellent values
in the outcrop, and while some are
small the high values they contain
make them desirable as chloriding
propositions. All along the west side
of the mountain for twenty miles there
| is a veritable network of veins aud all
carry values. When proper milling
| facilities are added to the camps prac
! tically all these veins will be worked.

A. r. Robbins, who is operating the
Cyclopic mine, Gold Basin, was in
Kingman last evening on his way to
his home in Minneapolis. He states
that the first run of the cyanide plant
was very satisfactory and that work
was now being pushed on the shaft
on the mine. 1t now stands at depth
of IS feet and will bo carried down two
CON part ments in size to several hun
dred feet. IL has been ascertained
that water can be readily obtained in
that country and that as soon as the
mine has been exploited sufficiently
a reduction plant will be put in.

Mrs. w. r. Dobson, of Chloride, de.
parted for Freeze, Idaho, where her
sister, Miss Lulu Alsop, was reported
to be very ill. A telegram was receiv-
ed in Kingman after her departure an
nouncing the death of the young lady
last Sunday evening. Miss Alsop had
been clerk in the recorders office in
Kingman and afterward resided with
her sister at Chloride. She was very
popular among the people of the two
towns and sincere regret is expressed
over her early death. A year or more
ago she was thrown from horse at
Chloride and never recovered from the
shock.

John Barry has been placed in pos
session of the Cerbat mine, at Cerbat,
and we hope he will open the property
u D in the way it deserves. The mine
is one Of the best properties in the
Wallapai mining district and eau cas-
lily be pnt on paying basis. Owing
to litigation the mine has been idle for
wears. but now that Mr.. Barry has ob
tanned the control we are sure that 1t
will receive fair treatment. In the
early years of the district Mr.. Barry
took from the surface of the mine
many thousands of dollars in gold and
after it pass ed to the Arizona North
ern mining COM pauy it again became
a producer. At the time OF the pur-
chase of the property by the com pany
mining and milling in this county was
a costly proposition and the methods
EN- ployed we're unsuited to the ores.
Now with the newer methods and the
recognized fact that the mine is bo-
nanza its output ought to be second TO
none in the territory.

Mrs. John Kay is having drift run
Ia on the Setting Sun vein at Mineral
Park and recently fine body of cop.
per ore was cut. This ore is almost
solid black copper and carries big
values in gold and silver as we'll. This
is the second property opened up In
that neighborbood by Mrs. Kay and
each one was one of the old reopened
mines of the camp. The reopening of
these old veins show the values that
the old timers overlooked in the way
of copper. In the porphyry belt of the
Mineral Park region there are immense
deposits of copper that some day viii
make the camp one of the most pros
porous in the southwest.

statehood eiI Passes House.

Yesterday afternoon the omnibus
statehood bill for the admission of Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma terri
tories as states, passed the house with
out division. The bill was bitterly
fought by many eastern congressman
but on the final passage a vote was un-
necessary, a test vote the day before
having developed the strength in favor
of the measure. Delegates Rodey, of
New Mexico and Smith, of Arizona,
made passionate appeals for justice at
the hands of congress. After the vote
was taken Delegate Smith was taken
violently i'll and was removed to his
home and physicians called in. He
was threatened with an attack of
appoplexy. His many friends in Ari.
zona hope for his speedy recovery.
This is the third time that Mark Smith
has secured favorable action by the
lower house of congress on bills for the
admission of Arizona to statehood and
we rest in the hope that this time he
will win in the upper house.
A special to the MINER this afternoon
states that Mark Smith has recovered
from the attack of yesterday.

IL may not be amiss to state here
that company organized under the
laws of the territory Of Arizona is not
released from reliability under the
laws of other states in which it may do
business. A large number of com.
panies have been organized under the
laws Of Arizona and as a basis for their
organization hold bonds or options on
mining or other property. These com.
panies go into other states and make
extravagant statements regarding their
possessions, setting up title in fee sim.
pie to all the property represented by
them for the purpose Of inducing the
investment of money in the stocks of
the concern. Practically every state
in the Union has laws aiming at this
class of jobbery and making every
such act felony. Another class of
jobbery is the location of a few pros
poets, the organization of company
with say 1,000,O0) shares of stock at
the par value of Is per share. The in-
corporators vote themselves 100000
shares of this stock and leave 100000
in the treasury for development pur-
poses. Now, the fact is that the value
of the prospects on which this organi.
zation is based may be very steep at
lDUUS, but that cuts no figure with this
class of share promoter. They are not
out to make any loss, but are on the
inside for pure gain. IL the company
fails to sell any Of its stock the mines
are allowed to lapse and may be relo-
Gated by the original organizers of the
company. In many Of the states there
are laws that require company to go
through insolvency before they can
allow the property Of the company to
lapse iu the state of New York there
is law which requires the unanimous
consent of all shareholders to the
abandonment of the whole of its prop
erty. Even 10 the sale of the whole oi
the property of mining company IL
is necessary to get the assent OF each
and every individual shareholder and
should this not be obtained the con
veyance can be set aside. We would
advise organizers of mining companies
to look carefully into the law before
they attem pit to place their shares up
on the market. II no recovery can be
had of them for false representations
they can be prosecuted under crimi
nal charge.

wife, Selena knight, all their right,
title aud interest in the Mud Springs
ranch property, including all cattle
and horses thereon. Mr. Knight sold
aud transferred to George n. Conard
and wife his interest in the Burns
Spring ranch. Mr.. Conard and wife
will probably continue their residence
in the county and will enter upon 9TH
er pursuits. They have both worked
hard to make success in the cattle
business and no one will envy them
their present prosperity. We are
pleased to learn that they will not re.
move from the county, as no more law

A 600,0OOS deal is in process of in-
cubation in the Boundary Cone eoun
try. The parties to the deal have made
satisfactory examination of the prop
erty and If the second examination
confirms the report of the first engi-
neer the deal will be closed. The
probable purchasers are anxious to
close the deal from their own observa-
ton and on the strength of the prelim.
mary report. The mines are being
opened up rapidly and every day for
months past has added thousands of
dollars to the value of the property.
With two large companies operating in
the district the future of Boundary
Cone and Gold Roads is assured.
Eli Hilty was in town from the Tom
Reed mine this week and reports that
the shaft has reached depth of 6j feet
and the ore body il improving with
every foot of depth. A telegram was
received from II. A. Cohn, who is in
New York City, that hosting plant
had been shipped and would be in
stalled on the mine at once. AS soon
as the hoist arrives the whim will be
removed to another site and another
shaft started, the hoist taking its place
on No. shaft. All legal intsnglements
have been removed and the chances for
the ultimate sale of the property are
good. The parties having the property
under bond have handled some of the
biggest deals in the United States and
are able in every way to carry out any
project they may undertake.

GREAT MORTALITY IN STOCK.
A Majority of Farmers and Ranchmen
With Severe Losses.

Highmore, S. D., March 25.-As the
results of the blizzard flast week F'ri-
day to Sunday come in, it becomes
evident that it was the most disastrous
storm that has ever swept over this
country since it's settlement in 1880.
Heretofore all storms have been refer
red to and compared with the great
blizzard of Jan. IL, 1883, when many
people all over Dakota lost their limbs
or lives. While there has been no such
loss of life among people in this last
storm, yet among stock the disasters
We're so overwhelming that it will take
first rank for many years to come. In
stances of how severely herds suffered
in this vicinity may be cited as follows:
s. r. Meigs, lost twenty-seven head of
cattle; John Mcdonald, thirty; Singer
&c Arnold, thirty; Andrew Nelson, thir-
ty-eight; Robert Campbell, forty one:
while there is hardly stockman who
has not lost in lesser degree.
The reason of this great mortality is
in the great length of the storm, being
fully two days and part of three nights
before it abated and then turning very
cold. Most of the farmers and stock
men had more stock than they had ade-
quate shelter for.

TO BE 100000 AMERICANS.
An Estimate on Attendance at Corona
ton in London.

London, March 25.-The American
exhibition at the Crystal Palace is now
assured. f. c. Van Duzer, secretary of
the American Society, says that more
applications have been received than
can possibly be allotted. The number
and variety of the exhibits now secured
indicate that the show will be repre-
sentative of the best manufactures of
America. Notwithstanding what has
already been reported about American
visitors, that most of them are not go
ing to stay in London for the corona
ton, Mr.. Van Duzer is very confident
that London will see a great American
invasion this year.
There will probably be- he said,
more than 100000 American tourists
in London this summer. If they know
that there is an American exhibition at
the Crystal Palace nearly every one of
them is sure to go and see 1T. To find
poor display would cause considerable
to them, but they need not
fear that. On the contrary, they will
find an exhibition which will make
them proud of their country"
