 Some rich ore is being taken from the mines of the Gold Road country. Samples of ore running as high as 5000 to the ton were received in Kingman. We have not been able to learn the name of the property from which the ore came. Miner.
 In the Graham mountains, near Bo- nta, they have discovered an immense ledge of mica. Some sheets that were taken out of the ledge are perfectly clear and , to inches square. Several claims have been located. The lodges vary from to feet wide and the mica shows in streaks.
 James McSherry was down from his Kelvin mining properties, Tuesday, laying in supplies, says the Florence Blade. He is expecting a party of stockholders in his properties to arrive here from Omaha, the latter part Of this month, and there will probably be something doing at the McSherry mines shortly after the arrival of the capitalists.
 The Searchlight reports that the Mohave Gold Mining company's mill has been shut down pending the in- Stallation of cyanide plant. This is not true. The mill is running steadily on splendid ore and will be kept at work right along. The installation of a cyanide plant will in DO manner in- terfere with the working of the mill. Miner.
 The recent strike of ore in the Orc Plata mine continues to improve with work and it is now thought 1t will be the most important find made in that property, says the Mohave County Miner. In this part of the mine years ago very rich ore was found, but the richer gold zone was thought to be the most promising and all leasers worked there to the exclusion of this part of the property.
 After a thorough examination and the testing of rock from the Larson Avery group of fifteen claims, located at the head of Mescal gulch, by W. A. Edeburn, well-known and successful mining engineer, Pittsbnrg people have taken over that property and or ganized company to develop them. The company will be known as the Pittsburg-Jerome Copper & Gold Min ing company. The mines are located short distance almost directly south of Senator Clark's United Verde mine and in the heart Of the Jerome min eral zone.
 A number of mining companies are now operating along Bill Williams Fork and many more are contemplat- ing going in there. That whole section IS a vast store house of mineral and when the railroad is built in there property values will go up with a bound. Mining operators should get in now and take advantage of the bar gains that now can be obtained. The building of the big dam at Parker will give The country cheap power for the operation of mines and reduction plants.-Mohave County Miner.
 Another large sized addition to the force of the Copper Queen mines at blsbee was effected, says the Interna- tlonal-American. This time there were employed fifty men, who were gwen positions in the various parts of the mines. Mostly all of the men en- gagged are miners, and their employ ment In large measure reduces the over supply of labor caused hereabouts oY the suspension of operations at va rlous properties where further explor- atory work is to be done by diamond urllIs The Copper Queen now has more than 1900 men on its Bisbee pay roll.
