THE SHEEP TRAIL GROUP
Good News From a Half Dozen Mo.
 have County Mines.

From the last issue of the Kingman Miner are taken the following items ot news respecting Mohave county mines
 s. c. Bagg. of the New Comstock mining company. was in town few days ago. He reports that last week he discovered the lost vein in the hang ing wall O: the Boulevard mine. of the Sheeptran group, assays from which run from $50 to $70 to the ton in gold It was the loss of this vein that coused the shutting down of the Sheeptrall mine a few years ago by the Boston company. The vein faulted and slip on the footwall was followed in the belief that the vein would come in. but it never showed up. MT. Bagg In cutting into the hanging wall in drift On the 100 level, opened up IS inches of vein that is as rich as any of the ore n1i;led from the property He will resume Crosscutting and believes he will have as large an ore body as that shown above the fauit-six feet The finding of this ore chute gives great promise to the property and the New Comstock company, owners, will probably put a force of men to work taking out the new ore. The company is the owner of twenty stamp mill and is able to mill it's own ores. With the Katherine mine, one of the largest in the county. the company ought to begin successful career.
 It is reported that work on the Robert Emmet mine. at Cerbat, is showing up a great body of good grade ore Byron Collins has charge of the property.
 Four men are at work on the Granite Wonder of the SOrpresa Mining com pany. and it is said that the ore in the drifts and shaft is quite as rich as that found on the surface.
 A new ore vein has been cut in the tunnel driven into the hill by the Treasure Hill people. It is thought that the ore is feeder from the rich ore chute from which rich float has for years past been found. Work is going steadily on in the tunnel and several well n!ineralized ore veins will be cut by it.
 Opera tions on the De Ia Fountaine mine were suspended for the present on the first of the month. It is pro- posed to install a hoisting plant and other machinery soon and pending this installation it was found ineXpedi- ent to continue work. The main shaft is now down 327 feet and the ore body has been found to be as big and strong at that point as in the tunnel at the 225-foot level. The vein is one of the largest in the Stockton Hill country.
 E. G. Eckis and wife, of Cedar. have been in Kingmar a number of days this week. Mir. Eckis has been in charge of the mill of the Cedar Valley company for several months rast and has been getting good results from the ores. We understand that in the lower levels of the mine new ore bodies have been opened up and samples taken have shown them to be rich in both gold and silver. More water is being encountered in the deep shaft and it is thought that in sinking water sufficient for all purposes will be found.
 Samuel Hale, of New York, arrived in kingman a few days ago and is en- gagged in making an examination of the BiMetal group of mines, belong ing to the Mcguire family. These mines are under bond to E. R. Holden X Co.,. of New York, and are being placed in London and Paris. For sev- eral months past a number of men have been at work driving a cut into the vein and this work is now in about eighty feet. In the breast and along the sides free gold can be seen in the rock and especially in the seams. It
