The coal has been tested and found to
be of a very superior blacksmithing
quality, surprising that of Cerrillos.
He is highly elated over this as he
has a heavy interest in it himself.
A.Goottfried, a mining expert of on
siderable prominence, who has been
stopping at Las Vegas for some time,
left for the mountains with the inten-
ton of camping out a few days and
thoroughly prospecting the country for
a big copper lead which he is positive
exists in the near vicinity.

colt Gold Mining and Mining company,
of Sierra county, while in Denver pur-
chased a complete mill, engine, boiler.
etc, which will arrive here in a few
days. Altogether there is nearly 100
tons of freight. 1t is expected that the
mill will be ready for work within

5. w. Maltbie. a mining engineer
and chemist from Chicago has arrived
at Lordsburg to look after the inter
ests of the United Gold and Copper
Mr.. Maltbie intends to make
a through determination of the ores
from the mines of this company to de-
eide the hest process of reduction to
be employed, on them.
Superintendent Burke reports an
excellent showing in the north drift
of the Snake mine, Sierra county, on
the AIS foot level. On this level there
is fully five feet of ore in the breast
same level, is being re-timbered and
put in shape for further development
and the extraction of ore.
The Coronado Mining company, OPP
Grating in the Coronado mountains,
near Metcalf, Arizona, has made a big
strike of eight feet of sulphide of seven
, per cent copper ore in the Mclean
group taken over by the company a
few days ago. This strike was made

Judge j. H. West, of Needles, Cal,
was in Kingman this week. Judge
West has a warm spot in his heart for
Mohave county, Arizona, as 1t was
through its mines that he was enabled
to realize a snug little fortune. He is
still hunting for bigger things in the
mines and VIC hope that fortune still
has something nice in store for him.
~Prospectors are now getting out into
the mountains and detached foothills
of this county and will remain until
the very warm weather drives them in,
lsays a Mohave county, Arizona, ex-
change. There are many parts of the
county that have never been explored
by miners and now is the time to look
into these sections and secure some
of the good things that they contain.
In a cross cut at the $40 foot level
of the Prosper mine. down in Sierra
county, the property of the Prosper
Gold Mining and Milling company, a
large body of excellent milling ore,
as well as a fine body Of high grade
ore, has been opened W. The develop.
ment of ore positively insures a per-
manent and lasting supply of ore for
the new mill when ready for opera
ton.
An immense body of ore has been
opened up on the 500-foot level of the
Minnesota mine, Mohave county, Ari-
iona. AT the 400-foot level the ore
body shows no diminution from that
encountered in the late workings of
the mine. Owing to the lack of water
the mill has not beer run heretofore
to advantage, but it is thought that
this impediment will be overcome
shortly.

of the Hawkeye gold mine in the JIG
arilla district, has just returned to
White Oaks from Chicago, where he
went to spend the holidays with home
folks. Mr.. Fox says that his company
will begin development of the Hawk
eye Immediately. The Hawkeye has
turned out to be a very fiattering prop
erty-looks, in fact, like it is going to
prove a bonanza.
Quite a number of mining men from
the colder regions of the mining west
are in Mohave county, Arizona, look
ing over our mining fields. Many of
these gentlemen are surprised with the
wonderful naturalization of the Wal
