GOLD ROAD EXTENSION.
A Strike Which is Of Great importance
 to the District.

Mineral Wealth of Kingman. Ari- zcna states that at a depth of 270 feet a crosscut on West Gold Road Exten- sion has passed through eight feet of high grade milling ore and no wall yet in sight. This was not unlocked for, notwithstanding that there were some doubts about it. due chiefly. to the uncertainty respecting the thickness of the wash which had, first. to be penetrated; secondly, a possibility that the vein constituting the Fxten sion might have shifted and gone, mo- body could tell where. These doubts have been disposed of; the vein is there and has been encountered. Apart from the importance of the strike to tho owners of the property. it is i'm pOrtant as showing that the Gold Road reef is a good mile in length. all con taining ore of high grade.

 The rails are now approaching the delta of the Yaqui and are being laid at the rate of two kilometers daily (about one mile and a quarter). Torin the principal town on the Yaqui river "a place of 5000 population-will be reached about the first of February. Tbs line running to Alamos, thence to Nazatlan.

OLD DOMINION,

Hayden, Stone & CO, DostJn, says:
 Disappointment succeeding disap- pcintment through a period of ten years has so affected the general esti- nation of Old Dominion that at the moment the merits of the property count for very little. at least when measured by the way merits count in other properties. Here we have an announcement from the president of the company that a new tbree-comPart- ment shaft is to be sunk, the capaci- ty of the concentrating mill increased fifty per cent, that a reverberatory furnace is being considered, that the company needs at once to use its fourth blast furnace, which will mean the construction of a fifth furnace at the earliest possible date in order to have one furnace available for emer-
 gencies. All this means that the Old
 Dominion proposition is so satisfacto-
 " to the controlling interests that they are prepared to go ahead and en' large its facilities so as 10 provide for an output of from 50,OOO,OOO to 60.
 000, 900 pounds of copper per year. Ii goes without saying that no such eX' tensiye program would be undertaken were not the same controlling inter ests thoroughly satisfied as to the
 costs of making copper"

While not caring to say great deal about IL the manner of MT. Marshall in talk ing of the discovery indicated that he felt a good deal of confidence in it's developing into highly important find.
 The group Mr. Marshall and asso- ciates have is known as the San Pedro.

Consequently they have got pretty well down into the ground and are in shape at any time to begin steady de velopment with the hard work of max

The drift they are driving at the Chiricahua Development from the 3s5 foot level of the shaft to the North is planned to come under a fine ledge which has been yielding exceedingly good ore on the surface where pros pect holes were put down. This ore has given 20 per cent copper right eIeng. !,
 word received recently tr>>-. other properties in the same district brings the information that development in the district is being attended on all sides with satisfactory results. Though there has vet been no mine made con fidence continues that this result IS but a matter of perseverance.
 Copper mines are rot made in weeks TOT months. It 'Rkes time and the Paradise section a~F San Francisco district hav0 as vet consumed but a comparatively small amount Of this valuable Cou;E HG:tT.
 In Paradise LropCr business houses are increasing Al lumber as the pop uIation grows. The latter has made steady advance as the various work | ing properties have increased the num- Der of their employees. All in all the outlook there carries nothing at this time of a discouraging nature. Or
 the other hand, all reports would in dicate the opposite to be true.

If ledge holds out that Ra. ger Bob HilbOrn of Douglas has lately been sinking on he will not have to wait long before he can retire from active duty and sit down in comfort to con- template with whatever emotion he may choose his career of a good many years and a good many stirring incidents on the frontier.
 The ledge is twelve niles out of Douglas. in Sor ora, and since MT. Hill born has had work progressing on it has made an enviable record S30 ore is coming out just as fast as the force employed can remove it. Two carloads are about ready fer ship ment and will be sent to the Copper Queen smelter at Douglas at early date for treatment. Very sarisfacto- ry arrangements have been made with the smeiter for handling the ore.
 While in the city Thursday Mir. Hill born stated that the ore he has out l5 from shaft now down about 25 feet. It's values are copper and gold ana it has been had from grass roots down. He has named the property "El Moro" Preliminary to begin ming sinking of the shaft in which the work is now being done and which is to be made the main shaft in the extensive development the property is to have, several holes were sunk few feet on the ledge at various points. with result in each instance of good ore. The best prospect se- cured was finally settled upon and sinking in earnest commenced.
