main shaft will be sunk to depth OF
at least 1000 feet and levels will be
run off at intervals of 100 feet. The
main shaft is now 600 feet on the in
cline. This property was one of the
mismanaged mines of the Chloride
country, but under a better govern
ment of mine and office affairs there
is every reason to believe that it may
be put on a pay basis. -kingman

This week Sheriff Lovin took to
Needles a bar of bullion from the
Gold Road mill that weighed s27, 900.
This is one of the largest bars ever
taken from the mill since its installa-
tion. A week ago a bar weighing
SO, 900 was shipped to the mine. The
mine and mill are now outputting
larger than ever before and at a less
xpense.-Kingman Miner.
During a recent visit to this county,
Charles S. Whiting, of New York, paid
a visit to the Iron King mine, and in
an interview in the Journal for In
vestors he said: 81 have spent consid-
cradle time in looking over the Iron
King mine, owned by the American
Copper company. 1t is magnificent
property and too much can not be said
of its remarkable ore deposits. l
can we'll understand from an examina-
tion of its ore dumps why the stock of
the company has steadily advanced
from % cents to S1.25 per share, yet
they are not in the dividend class.
When they get their 500 ton smelter
in operation, which will take, l
judge, about eight or ten months,
there should be something doin' in
the shape of dividends for the stock
holders. They are certainly piling
up huge quantities of valuable ore
now, and there is unquestionably no
limit to it,
j. A. Conlee is preparing a map of
the Castle Creek, and Black Rock
mining districts showing a birds
eye view of the Whip Saw, Buzzard's
Roost, Crown Point, Keystone,
O'Brien, Nancy Hanks, Trade Mark
and other mining properties. The
map also shows the creeks, wagon
roads, trails, ETC., of that whole dis
trict, making it quite an interesting
sketch. Mr.. Conlee is thoroughly &C.
quanited with every foot of the coun-
try in that part of the county, having
worked in several of the mining prop
critics there for years. He has also
made these sketches for several other
properties in the county, among them
being the Bannie, Buster and -Bodie
properties. The maps are accompanied
by descriptions of the different
claims, their workings and surround
ings.
j. j. Brooks will begin the active
Development of the Bodie Extension
property at once. He has just sue
ceeded in organizing a strong COM
pany of California capitalists to take
hold of the property and they will
push work as fast as possible.
&. p. Collins, j. r. Leonard and
Fl. Heasley, of Pittsburg, have been
visiting the Octave mine, in which
they are heavily interested. They re-
port things in most satisfactory con-
dition at the property. The Octave is
one of the large steady producers of
this section of country and stands up
near the top of the list of dividend
payers.
DR.. Criley and Capt. Phillips have
recently bonded their Ash Creek min
ing property to Douglas, Lacey & Co.,
and active development work will be
commenced at once.
An important strike is reported to
have been made a few days ago in
the Century mine which is being
operated by Judge Sanford. The
strike was made in a drift about 100
feet from the shaft at a depth of 200
feet. The vein has been cross cut for
three feet but the indications are that
it is several feet across. The ore is
free milling gold and plates about
SIS per ton valuation, which when it
is considered that the property is only
about eight miles south of Prescott
and right on the wagon road is of i'm
portance. Another important thing
in connection with the strike is the
fact that just before the ore was en-
countered water was also struck in
good quantities.
The journal Miner is informed that
PREPARATIONS are being made to resume
work on larger scale on the Leland
property in the Chaparral district.
This property has produced some fine
ore and is said to be looking fine.
Sheriff Lovin Thursday last brought
in from the Gold Road mill sl5, 600
bar of bullion, the clean up of one
weeks run of the mill. Hereafter it
is the intention of the company to
make weekly bullion shipments, and
it is expected that that these ship
ments will run from SO, 600 to sl5, 600.
Under the management of Superin-
tendent Spargo the expense of mine
and mill has been cnt down about one
third, while the output of the mine
and mill has been greatly increased
