 Henry Pauly came in from Gold Basin this week, having with him a bar of gold bullion, taken out in re- cent run of the Cyclopic mill on ore from the mines of Frank Mama. The bar was clean and weighed about sixteen dollars per ounce. The mill is running steadily on the ore and monthly cleanups are made.
 The New Comstock Consolidated company is unwatering the Boulevard mine, in the Union Pass section, and crosscut is to be driven to the vein, which was lost at the 100 level. The shaft is down 200 feet and passed out of the vein at the 100 and no effort was made to find it at the lower depth. At the mill the company is ar- ranging for the resumption of work.
 N. M. and J. D. Richardson are in from the Union Pass section, where they have been at work driving a cross drift to cut the big vein. This drift is in 225 feet and has entered the vein short distance. The ore horns some gold, but assays have not yet been made so that no intimation of the value is given. Four men have been kept at work on the mine and it is ex- pected that one of the best properties in that section will be opened up.

 T. Frank Bayer, Dr. H. c. Chisolm and J. B. Port, of Huntington, Pa., arrived in Kingman the first of the week. Monday last they visited the Enterprise mines, in company of O. D. M. Gaddis. Returning from the prop erty Wednesday they expressed theu- selves well pleased with the showing made in the mines and believe they will become great copper properties. The main shaft of the mine is now. to be sunk to depth of several hundred feet below the present level and the ore bodies thoroughly exploited. Lat CT on plant to handle the ores will be put in at the mines, but not until depth below the oxidized zone is reached. Dr. Chrisolm departed to
