Philip Smith writes from the molyb- denite mines, near Berkely, that a fine body of the ore has been opened up in the Laviathan and Whale claims. In the lower part of the drift all cop per has disappeared and only molyb- denite and quarts remains. Much sol i'd metal is being taken out. These two claims are the largest molybdenite bearing veins in the United States.

Work on the De la Fountaine mine is progressing nicely. In the east drift on the 400 fine body of lead ore is in the breast and is widening with every foot of progress. In the west drift on the same level the ore is zinc-lead, the value in zinc predominating. This property is destined to be one of the greatest zinc-lead mines of the Pacific coast.

l countered. In the breast of the tun- nel the ore streak is improving. This is one of the good mines of that sec tion and is owned by the Arizona Mex ican smelting company.
 John Kerwania visited the Cedar country this week and reports that a big mining deal is on in that country, the operators being expected to arrive at the mines this week. The company is to take over number of properties owned by William and Matthew Carr, J. P. Ryan and J. A. Carrow. These mines are among the best gold and silver bearing properties of that sec tion and all the claims have large veins. The mines are all accessible and have considerable work done on them. Thursday last l.. Hoffman, superin- tendent of the Chloride Gold Mining Company, passed through Kingman with four carloads of ore from the Sa- moan mine, which he was taken to the Needles shelter. This is the first shipment of ore from this county to that plant and marks new era for the mining industry of the county. The Chloride Gold Mining company is one of the biggest ore shippers in the county and the fact that the new shelter has contracted for it's output shows good business judgment in the management of the shelter company.
 Walter d'Varilla, a we'll known min ing engineer, who is interested in the proposed smeltery for Kingman, arriv- ed in town last Monday and is confer ring with E. M. Carson regarding mining and shelter matters. The gentlemen are expecting number of people from the east who are interest ing themselves in the plans of the Kingman Smelling company and it's auxiliary mining company. At the present time the mining company is getting things in shape for extensive work in Wallapai mining district and several good groups of mines have been tied up. At Union Basin work is about to be started up on the Green Linnet tunnel, which is to be driven into the veins in the high range to the. east.
 With silver now quoted at 65 5-S; copper at 1T, lead at 5.25, to 5.75, zinc. at 6.1O to >S.20, the future of mining in this county looks exceedingly bright. Silver is. now about six cents per ounce above the established coinage rate of England and many dealers are working up coins into bullion to make the difference between the coined met al and bullion. Itis now confidently expected that silver will reach seven- ty cents per ounce and that the other metals will remain at. their present high selling price at least until July next and possibly all the year. Cop per will be maintained above fifteen cents for several years, so it is predict ed.

That beautiful snow, fit sub- ject of word pictures that glow in pretty imagery to the minds of those who may, within doors, look out upon a whitened world in all its shimmering purity, or behind the tinkle of merry sleigh bells glide smoothly over the earth's soft mantle, but to working mankind, as they plod along with streuous tread and two slips back to every step ahead, anything else but a beau- tiful snow, came down between midnight and morn on the 9th day of January, unknown to the sleeping world.

Dear Sir: Thomas sJ. Brannon, druggist, Westerly, R. l., says: Westerly painters expect gal gon of paint to cover 19 sets of blinds; Devoe covers 25; there is no such thing as rubbing this out.
 (The usual reckoning is for a Hon to cover 19. We suspect the Westerly people don't wear their paint till it gets very shabby.)
 Devoe covers more; of course, we know that; we know why too; it's all paint and full meas ure. Yours truly
