4 rate OF three dollars per ton has
been made on ores from Tombstone 70
the FL Paso smelters and the smelter7
have made rate OF about two dollars
per ton for working, on account Of the
manganese in the ores. The big min
ing company is now shipping all the
old mine dumps to the smeltcrs aud
making nice monthly cleanup.
J. G. Dexter, formerly OF Needles and
Kingman, has discovered a great vein
OF gold bearing rock on the Arizona
side OF the river near the head OF Cot
norwood Island. The ore is said 10 be
peppcred Nth gold. Several Search
light men are Interested in the find
with Mr.. Dexter. His many friends
in this county wish him all manner Of
success.-Kingman Miner.
In and around the south part OF this
county the past few wears tungsten
ores have been discovered and much
was said OF its richness and value.
Now, we wish TO call attention to the
fact that last year there was consumed
in the United States tungsten ores to
the amount Of 1870 tons, valued at $40
900. This supplied the full demand
for this metal, and shows that there Is
nothing whatever in mining for this
metal alone. Tungsten ores that carry
less than 80 per cent. of the metal
have no value.-kingman Miner.
Contracts have been let by the Mo-
have Gold Mining company for the
building OF twenty-thrce miles OF mar
row gauge road connecting the mine
and mill and then to the bank OF the
Colorado river, opposite Needles. The
road may be carried TO the Gold Road.
We have not learned to whom the con-
tract has been let. Another rumor
has il that road from the Santa Fee
will soon bo constructed to connect all
the mining camp, in the San Fran
cisco mining district by rail. This |
would be- the proper thing, as the /
companies could then get supplies de- |
livcrcd at the mines at onc-half the /
present cost besides opening up a won
dcrful mineral section Kingman

The most remarkable condition Of
the Tonopah field stands revealed to
tho world today in the exposure Of a
massive body OF high grade ore in the
property Of the TOnOpah Belmont
company. The find was made at
depth OF 6ll feet. The shoot at this
point was entered two weeks ago, and
while cXtraord mary values were en-
countered the existence close at hand
of vast area Of wealth producing
rock was not for a moment suspected.
There is revealed this morning Il body
of mineral - .ect wide, having an
average value of $lG0 in gold to the
ton. As If this was not sufficient food
for one days excitement, the manage
mcnt announces another startling
feature of the tnd-that in Wine
sunk on the big body a streak OF two
or three feet wide has been opened
that assays 81, 200 in gold to the ton.
Black Warrior is now one Of the
busiest places in Globe district, and
all reports from there are Of the most
encouraging kind. The new teaching
works are far superior to the old tanks
and complete success is attained in the
teaching of the ores. y brickctting
machine has arrived and will he
hauled to Black Warrior. II will con-
vert into product for smelling the
ores, copper prccipitates and
the iron cindcrs from the sulphide
furnaces. There were five cars Of
freight for the Black Warrior in the
railroad yard this morning, and al
though Thompson & Barclay have
nine teams on the road, they have all
they can do to move the freight.
They expect soon To have ten six
horse teams hauling to Black War
rior, and they will need them, As when
the works are in full operation the
amount Of freight to be ha ndled is eX
pected to average Is tons per day
