at the present time. Forces of men are at work on the Signal Mining com pany's group and also on the Osborn Butler groups.
 Work on the De Ia Fountaine mine is progressing nicely. In the east drift on the 400 a 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 of zinc predominating. This property is destined to be one of the greatest zinc-lead mines of the west.
 E. F. Thompson visited his mines in the Cerbat and Union Basin sections this week. At the Vanderbilt mine he found work progressing satisfactorily, the crosscut being driven from the bottom of the shaft to the ore body in the footwall vein. On the level above this vein showed wonderful values in gold and lead and it was expected that in the 300 the same ore will be en- countered. At the Goldconda mine, in Union Basin, work is being done and it is expected that the Green Linnet tunnel will be driven in to tap the vein at Q depth of about 300 feet. This mine is an immense vein of copper. gold and lead carrying ore and will undoubtedly develop into a big pro- ducer

These mines carry values in gold and are situated near the Colorado river, where an abundance of water can be had for mining purposes. The veins are quite large and promising
 T. R. Garnier, of Los Angeles, ar rived in Kingman last Monday and is looking after his mining interests in Cerbat section. Yesterday he receiv- ed samples of ore from the breast of the upper tunnel on the St. Louis mine, which looks good. The ore is full of lead and appears to be close to big body of that metal. This vein is four and one-nalf feet wide in the breast of the tunnel and is widenin g as work progresses. This tunnel will be driven ahead as fast as possible and big things are expected when it gets below the old workings.
 R. G. Eckis, superintendent of the Pinkam and Midnight mines, has been in Kingman several days this week. He reports work on the Pinlkam pro- gressing and believes it to be the coming copper mine of the district.
 Work on the mines in the Bill Will Hams Fork country is progressing fav- orably, many miners being employed

THE PLAY.

There was a pretty good crowd out last evening to witness the second per formance of the Lone Tree Mine"
 The players were in better trim and the play went off more smoothly than on its first presentation.
 There were a few little extras put in by way of variation, and one incl dent occurred; the young man from the east dropped the axe on his foot and fainted and, of course, was sym pathiZed with by the mountain rose, while she famed him with her apron but upon further solicitation as to the seriousness of the accident he found that he could not decide which foot he had mashed, so they proceeded with their plot to frighten Pat.
 Between the acts Milo Shill came before the curtain and gave us a tramp story in costume.
 The entertainment was quite a suc- cess and brought out many laugh in spite of the villainy of Doc Brady.

MOHAVE COUNTY MINES.
News Items From a Number of Good
 Ones.

The following items were found in the latest issue of the Mohave County Miner:
 Work is progressing nicely on the winze in the Infallable tunnel, at Stockton Hill. Good ore has been en- countered. In the breast of the tunnel the ore streak is improving. This is one of the good mines of that section and is owned by the Arizona Mexican Smelling company.
 John Kerwania visited the Cedar country this week and reports that 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 a number of properties owned by William and Matthew Carr, J. P. Ryan apd 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 Samon mine, which he was taking to the Needles smelter. This is the first shipment of ore from this county to that plant and marks a new era for the mining industry of the county The Chloride Gold Mining company is one of the biggest shippers in the county and the fact that the new smelter has contracted for it's output shows good business judgment in the management of the smelter company.
 Walter d'Varila, a we'll known min | ing engineer who is in terested in the proposed smelter for Kingman, arrived | in town last Monday and is confering with E. M. Carson regarding mining and smelter matters. The gentlemen are expecting a number of people from the east who are interesting them selves in the plans of the Kingman Smelling company and its auxiliary mining company.

CROSSED THE RIVER.

It may be but a short time until the river will be fordeble here again. Yes terday morning Roy Buck crossed twice on saddle horse in search of d suitable ford. He found a good hard bottom clear across with the exception of about twenty-five feet. For that distance he could not tell just what was under him in the shape of ground for the reason that the horse was forced to swim. The fact that the can als are taking practically no water out now, of course keeps the river up here and during the last few days it has fallen very little.

TWO REPORTERS
Set the Great Insurance Scandal Be-
 fore the World.

Success for December tells how the insurance investigation had its be- ginning:
 There would have been no investiga- tion of the insurance companies had it not been for the recent disclosures made by David Ferguson, a reporter for the New York World, who began by prodding the officers of the Equit- able about James Hazen Hyde's Cam bon dinner and other evidences of ruinous waste. At the outset, Fergu- son was laughed at by the men he ap- preached. Hyde and Alexander, the two heads of the Equitable, denied that there was any factional uprising in the Equitable, or the slightest unfriendli ness between MT. Hyde and MT. Alex ander But the reporter kept on prod ding and digging patiently until he gained the confidence of some one on the inside whose name will probably never be known. From that time on Ferguson had the situation in his own hands, and what followed is thoroughly known to the American public today, having resulted in the greatest up- heaval ever known in the history of American finance. Compelled, by the persistent revelations Ferguson was making, to undertake an investigation, Francis Hendricks, superintendent of insurance for the state of New York, filed away a lengthy document contain ing the testimony he had taken; and 1t remained for Louis Seibold, another World reporter, to procure a copy of this secret report, which made the longest story eyer run in a news paper about a single incident-112 900 words. It is still a matter of keenest speculation among the newspaper men of New York how Seibold obtained pos session of a copy of a state document, and it will be, probably a mystery for ever. Reporters of Seibold's type never betray confidence. Were the secrets of Messrs. Ferguson and Seibold known concerning the great insurance expo sure, they would. undoubtedly, make good reading, but these men made pledges of confidence for the public good, and 1t goes without saying that those pledges will die with them.

A PEACH OF PEACHES.

Chas. w. Baldwin brought in today a peach twig twelve inches long con- taining fifteen fully developed peaches. He gave the twig to J. F. Kelly to be sent to the territorial fair.
 From the same tree MT. Baldwin yesterday picked eighty pounds of De- cember snow peaches, of the freestone variety. When it is remembered that this tree is but three years old, the yield is great. Besides what MT. Bald win gathered December 1st, for week past boys have been helping them selves. so the yield was probably not less than 100 pounds.
 MT. Baldwin planted three peach pits on Nov. 1, 1902. Only one of the sprouts lived and from this, this crop above mentioned was picked.

WATERWAYS BADLY DAMAGED

The recent rise in Salt river has done more damage than the rise of last spring. The entire dam of the Arizona has gone out again with some of the original trusses that had with stood all previous rises. It may be found now scattered lp and down the river. There are besides several large breaks in the canal which must have run an enormous amount of water, as at these breaks they changed the course of the river opposite them, in some cases doing damage to the south side and in others driving the stream on the south side, where it will be easier to reach. This is the case at both the head of the Highland canal and at the Mesa canal. Formerly the channel, but now the current has changed and in both cases it hugs the south side, closer, it is true at the Highland head than at the Mesa, but in both cases it will save the canal companies many dollars in dam work. The river filled the head of the Mesa with sand and several teams are now at work moving the sand and drift. It is thought that water will be run canal head was damaged considerably. The river for two miles submerged the banks of the canal and in a few places the north bank is washed away. Ar engagements are being made for a crew of men and teams to put the canal in repair.

TEMPE
THE UTAH DAM.
Apparently the Only One that Suffered
 No Damage.

A. A. Wood, J. H. Spainhower and A. J. Houston, directors of the Utah canal, visited their dam Saturday and found that it had not been damaged by the recent flood. Since every other dam in the river was either washed completely away or badly damaged, the shareholders naturally feel proud of the achievement of MT. Wood to whom the credit is due of constructing the dam. During the flood the river at the dam was over a mile wide and over ten feet of water was going over it's top. The canal at the head was filled with sand to a small extent but it is esti mated that with few teams, three days work will put it in such shape that the water will be running again as usual

NEW BARBER SHOP,

J. M. Vance this morning opened his new barber shop in the Vance block, next door to the Mesa Trading com pany. MT. Vance calls his place the Modern Barber Shop, and everything in it is modern and up-to-date and tasty. He has a three-chair barber case and mirrors, chairs, settee and all modern conveniences for customers. Bath rooms in connection with hot and cold water service, new tubs, etc. In fact, Mr. Vance has very neat place throughout, and solicits a large share of the public patronage.

Surveyor Robinson was here yester- day and in company with L. D. Crook. Niles Petersen and c. G. Jones, went to the head of the Tempe canal where MT. Robinson did some surveying to establish a grade for the repair work to be done there. It is now proposed
 to cut into the river little above the Harper road which will necessitate the building of a few hundred feet of new

MAIL AGAIN.

Yesterday morning a good sized mail was received here the first of any size that has been received in just week. Yesterdays however, was large enough to make up for lost time and the post office force was practically swamped for a time. Much of the mail receiv- ed was what had accumulated at Mar icopa before the mail was routed north and while it is a week behind time it was just as good and perhaps little more appreciated than if it had ar rived on time.

UTAH DAM AND CANAL.

The Utah dam and canal is reported by the Zanjero, T. F. Jones, to be in pretty good shape. In fact, he is glorying in that his dam is the only one not seriously affected by the rise. There is, however, one break in the dam, about three feet deep and twen- ty feet wide, through which the water is running like a mill race. About three feet of sand is in the head. but teams and scrapers will be put to work at once cleaning it out.

canal. It is figured that by so doing, the fall will be sufficient to give a good head of water without a dam at the present stage of the river and even af- ter it is still lower. Later on, after the winter floods are over, the dam can be built in the new location at a very reasonable outlay. Work will be com menced as soon as possible and it is hoped to have water running in the canal in a short time.
