REPORTED STRIKE IN OLD ELDo.
 RADIO MINE.
(From the Mohave Miner.)

man have leased the Cyclopic plant, in
 Gold Basin, and will put through 200
 tons of ore from their mine. If the
 ore can be worked successfully by cy.
 anide process they will put in a plant
 of their own.
 Sandy Harris is at work on his mines
 near the summit of the Eldorado Can
 yon range, and the veins are said to be
 looking exceptionally well. The pro-
 perties were tied up to Los Angeles
 people until few months ago, but the
 deal fell through owing to disagree
 ment between the parties.
 J. E. Carney, who has a bond on the
 J. F. T. group of mines, at the head of
 IXL canyon, is figuring on installing
 boiler and pump to handle the water
 in that property. In the crosscut on
 the 200 level the water came in so
 fast that it could not be handled with
 a whim, and pump has become
 necessity.
 The hoist on the Merrimac mine, at
 Chloride, is being put in commission and the mine will be unwatered at once. This mine had considerable rich ore in it, and some years ago a mill was erected, but the ore was not of a concen- trating character, and the mill was, practical failure. Now the ore will be | shipped to the smelter without dress ing up, and it is expected will pay well.
 James Carter and Henry Lovin have obtained a lease on the water that | comes from the Gold Road mine, and | mill, where it is turned into the canyon below the mill, and have put in a gasoline engine and pump and are pumping the water over zinc boxes and getting good results in gold. The fea- ture is a novel one and it would appear that even the waters of Gold Road are gold bearing.
 The Minnesota Conpor mill is running on good ore and making a large quantity of concentrates. Teams are now hauling concentrates to the depot and several carloads will at once be shipped to the Arizona smelt er at Humboldt. In the mine large re- serves of ore are blocked out, and new ground being opened up. It is under stood that some of the. old stopes will be leased out to chloriders. The same company has opened up fine body of the mill and the, Altalta mine. The streak is about three feet and is said to be of high shipping grade.
 P. Cardell, who has been making a survey of the St. Louis group of mines 1t Cerbat, returned to Kingman a few days ago. He reports having found a number of rich bodies of lead ,re on the surface of the claims while the lines of the property. The , which is being driven into he hill to get under the old ore body ,n the St. Louis, was fourd to be on a parallel vein and distant about 40 feet rom the St. Louis. A erosscut will have 70 be run to connect tho two veins and he work of driving under the ore body will be continued. A nice body of ,re is being opened up in the tunnel.
 rrt-. ha lot 0f 20 shaft in the West Gold Road mine las entered the vein at distance of ; L5 feet from the shaft, where a body ,f high grade ore 8 feet in width was ut through. The ore is identical with that of the Gold Road mine ih he west drift on the 500 level, and is he same size of the ore body in that nine, where it narrowed down from A feet about 800 west from he Gold Road shaft. The striking of this ,re body means big things to Gold Road camp, as now two big companies will be operating the big mines of the amp to the fullest capacity. It was not expected to get below the cap -ock inside of 800 feet, but it was 'ound that the permanent formation made it's appearance at superficial lepth The vein will be drifted on he 27O level, and the shaft continued .o the 800 level as rapidly as possible.
 It is reported that a big strike of ore has been made in the old Eldorado mine, at Eldorado Canyon, where a shaft had been sunk to a depth of 100 feet on the ledge. The ore body is lbout four feet wide, and runs about $50 to the ton. This mine was located and worked by Nat Lewis many years ago and is situated close to Huess' Spring. At one time a town was es- tablished at this point and named FL dorado City, but it was abandoned and the old stone houses have fallen in or altogether. While owned
