| Prosperity mine, the price of which has not been given out, though it goes up into the thousands. The Miner speaks of the property as follows:
 "The Prosperity mine is one of the best properties in Wallapai mining district and has been a great produc- CT of rich ore. It was acquired several years ago by Owen McNeely, who has done a large amount of development work on it. The old tunnel was con- tinued under the ore body, where a great showing of ore was opened up. The vein is wide and well mineralized throughout it's entire width. This ore is just the class needed by the smell ter, as it carries iron and lead in ex- cess of silica, besides carrying big val ues in silver and gold. The new com pany has already begun work on the mine and will push development as fast as possible"
 Philip, George and Anson H. Smith and Jerome Tracey are now engaged in doing the assessment work on a group of claims said to carry remark able values in molydenum ore. This is a very valuable metal if found m com mercial quantities, which is rare, though it is frequently encountered in small streaks all over Arizona. Con- corning this particular property it is sald by those interested that these mines are probably the most remark able properties in the world and will undoubtedly soon be able to supply the demand of this country for this steel hardening metal. Unlike the other molybdenite carrying veins it carries the metal in great masses. While on the surface the mOlybdenIte is impreg- mated with copper 1t is believed that at a superficial depth the molybdenite will be found free or nearly so from the deleterious metal. In the floor of the drift on the main vein of the group molybdenite is comining in in kidneys practically free from copper and small veins of the trioXide are also found.
 Other mining items gleaned from the Kingman Miner are as follows:
 O. D. M. Gaddis and T. l.. Ayres vls- tied the Tragedy group of mines, in the Union Pass section, this week The Tragedy mines are just now un- der bond to a company recently organ ized by Major J. M Burke of Spokane, Idaho. It is understood that they will be developed to a considerable extent this winter
 The Gold Road company this week received a Gonld trl-plex pump, which Is to be placed on the 600 foot level of the Gold Road mine. The pump is a necessity at the property, as it ia impossible to sink below the 600 ow- ing to the volume of water. The new pump will be able to clear the mine of water readily. The West Gold Road shaft has reached a depth of more than 200 feet and is still Tn the ande- site cap rock It is not expected to get through the capping under five hun dred feet
 This week Owen McNeely, who has acquired the Stinson interest in the Blackfoot mine, entered into a work ing agreement on that property with Byron Collins, owner of the other part of the clam. Under the terms of the agreement the gentlemen become CO., owners in the mine and will hereafter work together. The Blackfoot has rich ore in it and was at one time one of the best producers in the Stockton Hill section.
 E. M. Carson and A. NJ. McDuffee have been looking over the mines of Wallapai district thIs week and ar ranging for the starting up of work on several of the properties under bond. Thursday last they arrived at Kingman and are getting affairs in shape for the breaking of ground for the big smelter.
 R. G. Eckis, superintendent of the Pnkham and Midnight mines, in con- versation stated that it was the inten- tion of his company to equip the mines with machine drills and sink the Pink ham shaft several hundred feet deep
 
 run from the 200 foot level of the Pinkham mine to prove up the ground at that polnt. By the time this work is done the power drills will have been installed and the new work gotten un- der way. The mines are showing up nicely and it is expected that great bodies of good grade ore will be open ed up in all the veins.
 Hon. T. E. Ludlam of Sea Isle City, New Jersey, arrived m Kingman last Tuesday evening and in company of J. D. Jordan visited the mines of the Union Pass Gold Mining company Mir. Ludlam was accompanied by one of the New Jersey shareholders and that gen. tleman will spend some time in look ing over the property. The Union Pass mines show immense bodies of low grade gold ore, but as they are situated about sixty miles from the Colorado river they can be worked ! cheaply. It is expected that work on the mines will soon be started up and pushed during the winter months.
 James Mulligan received a payment on the purchase price of his Bethel mine, in Todd basin, this week from E. M. Carson. MT. Carson is to de- velop the property, it being under stood that the Green Linnet tunnel is to be driven ahead and penetrate the Bethel vein at a depth of nearly 300 feet. This would drain the mine and enable the rich ores above that depth to be extracted at a small cost. The mine IS an immense affair and a great 1 deal of rich ore has been taken from it. | Walter Abrams was in Kingman | several days this week on business | connected with his mining interests | below Needles. He and Wyatt Earp have been at work on a group of cop | per claims and believe they have the richest property in the Colorado river section. The mines are near Whipple l c
