 Properties.

 gives an extended write-up of the mines of that county together with a map of the country between Kingman and Chloride including the now more or less famous granite reef the scene of the fate boom. The follow reports are from that interesting ar | ticle:
 Some of these mines have installed massive machinery at the mines for the hcis;ing of ores from the deep workings and for milling purposes. Notably is this the case at the Gold Read Leland. Sheeptrail Gro Plata. Minnesota Elkhart and Ten nesee. At the present time the Gold Road and the Gro Plata are the orly properties milling ore. but about the fifteenth of the coming month the Le- land mines will have it's mill in cper. ation This mill was built by a Denver machinery house and is ore of the finest forty stamp mills in Ari- zona It is expected that from l20 to 16O tons of ore will he put through this mill daily. The mine has been opened by tunnel to a great depth md is capable of furnishing hundreds of tons of ore daily to this mill. The mill has been installed within a mile of Scea-'s lake. some distance from the Colorado river and nine miles distant from the mines. A narrow guage railroad. just completed con nects mine and mill. This railroad has heen continued 10 the bank Of the Colorado river. and will De used 10 convey freight from Needle; to inc mines of the Leland and SnoYball camps It is one of the possibilities of the future that this road will be eX- tended to Gold Road for the conven- fence of that camp. In an1 around the Leland mine are a score of big ere bearing veins. notably the mine , of the German-American Mining corn. Dary the Treadwell and Snowfall. These mines have half a million dol lars in sight at the present time and yet develoDment has been but begun The eland. oDerated and owned hy the Mohave Gold Mining company, is TOW employing one hundred men and will soon increase this number.
 Another group of mines belong to the American Mining com pany. an Ohio company. l. numbers among it's possessions the famous Ben noran mine, supposed to be the rich est mine in the county.
