 Hillside Siding, the distributing
 point for Eureka District, is lively
 little place, T. R. Darnell and his son
 Morse being the merchants, board ing house keepers, and in fact nearly
 everything of the town. They have
 lately added supply of hardware to their other large stock of goods, they always have on hand, and can now furnish the public with anything from a needle to a threshing machine This point distributes lots of freight to Eureka District. The Gold Link Mining company have had twenty car loads unloaded there in the last three months, Solon Marker having the con- tract for delivering the same to their mines on Santa Maria. He has seven teams on the road continuously, be- sides tri-weekly stage.
 The Gold Link Company is working big force of men on the Sultan mine, having some 20, 600 tons of ore blocked out for their new twenty stamp mill which they are erecting, in addition to which they are putting in large cyanide plant. This prop erty has lain idle for the past few years. The present general manager, Harry La Montague, is an up to date mining man and is bound to make a success, as the Sultan has the goods right in it. Mir. Bunker, late of Cali fornia, is the mill man, and has a great reputation of having everything up to date. John Roiley is mine foreman. Besides working the Sul- tan this company has bonded proper ties on both sides of it, on one side or end from J. R. Beatson, the other from the Ariola boys. The company has also sunk we'll close to Santa Maria and has drifted under the river for water where they have an unIim- ited quantity of it which they will pump to the mine and mill. The mill is situated so as to run the ore out of the mine to the crushers.
 Chauncey D. Clark, of Peoria, H. linOis, and Peoria, Arizona, who is interested in the Waters and Gold Standard mines on the Santa Maria was there recently looking over the properties with view of starting up the mill.

The writer was informed that MT. Ferris is now in California seeing about hoist and pump for the property, the whim Lot being able to handle any deeper than they now are.
 The Granite Stake owned by Mir. Abbott and partner is looking we'll. They have seven men at work at the present time.
 Colin Timmons is working right along on the Copper King, with E. Overpeck, a thorough mining man, in charge. Mir. Timmons is proving he was right in his assertion that if there was a copper producer in the District, the King was one, and the amount of ore they have encountered proves he was right. Pity we did not have a few more Timmons in Eureka Dis trict.
 Pete Sorensen, the placer genius, is building a large dry washer of several horse power size to work the Placer guIch, out of which so many thousands of dollars in gold have been extracted. Besides working the gulches, Pete and his associates are going to sink on large gold bearing ledge situated at the head of the gulch where mining men claim all this gold | came from. The writer understands that J. T. Pendegast of your city, Mir. of Pasadena, Cal, and J. A. Newman of Mohave County are with Mir. Sorensen. If so, l they are among the lucky ones, as Flu reka is proving to be one of the big gest producers in the county.
