of Blackberry, was in Kingman thi
 week. He informed us that he had re
 mine, and intended to reopen it t,
 the north of the deep shaft. The min,
 was opened to a depth of nearly sil
 hundred feet when owned by the In
 dian Queen company, under the man agement of John Howell. To thii
 depth the mine was an immense pro
 ducer of silver ore, and from the olC works thousands of dollars were takeI in recent years by leasers. The olt company finally failed to do the as sessment work, and MT. Ridenour step ped in and took possession. Incidental ly Mir. Ridenour was the diseoverer oi the property, and in company witt the late Samuel Crozier, worked tho mine for many years. There is nc doubt that reopening of the mine will show surprising bodies of ore that were overlooked in the palmy days ot the property.
 R. P. Wheeler arrived in Kingmar Sunday last from Milwaukee, and ha: gone to the Sun Cloud mine, where he will start up work on that property A contract to sink 100 feet will be lei at once, whim having been sent tc the mine from Congress. The mine is one of the best looking gold propo sitions in the south part of the county having at the bottom of the 75 foot shatf eight feet of ore. It is un. derstood that this eight feet of ore will average better than $20 to the ton. MT. Wheeler is getting to work in the right manner, his intention be- ing to thoroughly develop the mine before putting in reduction works. The mine is situated on the Big Sandy, about four miles south of Signal, and is well situated for economical work
 Oswald Stein and Jerome Tracey are up from the Signal section. Mir. Stein made thorough examination of the Cleopatra group of mines, owned by Charles E. Price, having been almost a month at the work. The vein in the Cleopatra mine is probably the largest in the territory, and carries va lues in gold and copper. The mines are situated about twenty miles west or Signal, and several miles north of Bill Williams Fork. It is in the same section of country as the famous old mine, and is sure to become one of the great producers of the terri tory.
 E. M. Carson departed few days ago to Los Angeles and San Francis co, at which places he will confer with his people regarding smelter matters, and the taking over of certain mining now held under bonds. The now is that ground for the shelter will be broken in thirty days. It will be located about one-half mile east of town, on the side of the rocky bluff at the stone quarry. The site is an ideal one.
 The price offered for tungsten of 70 per cent, delivered at Kingman is S6 per unit of long ton. The same pur- rhasers offer $1O per unit for molyb denum ore per long ton for 90 per cent. or or better. A number of re- putable mining papers have made the assertion that these minerals bring but little in the market. The figures given above are from actual sales of these minerals.
 Peter White came in from the Tyro mine this week and reported that he had crossed about F feet of vein in the tunnel without finding indications of the other wall. The vein has soft ened up, and coarse gold is now horn ed from the rock. MT. White departed to the mine this morning, and will continue.
 The shaft on the Techatieup mine, at Fl Dorado Canyon, has reached a lepth below 400 feet, and is being lriven to the 800 level as fast as pos ;ible. At the 400 crosscut was run .o the vein and three feet of ore that is said to run better than three ounces gold was struck. The mine is
