Kingman Cement.

On his return from Los Angeles the first of the week Charles Metcalfe brought samples of cement made from the pumice-tuff taken from his quarry west of town, which even to one not versed in cements showed that they were of a superior quality, being as hard as flint. The ground rock, which contains, as shown by analysis, the ex- act proper proportions of silica and aluminium, after adding the requisite quantity of lime, was put through the regular process in testing plant. The cement sets quickly, and has a tensile strength exceeding the finest Portland. In comparative tests with other cements as to it's resistance of sea water it showed it's superiority. As one item of expense roasting is eliminated, as the material has had that in the past. In other parts of the world, notably around the volcano of Vesuvious and on the Isle of Sicil, |, cement is made of similar product which is noted for it's superiority. The walls of the ancient ruins about Rome were laid in mortar made from vol canic product and have withstood the ravages of time for more than 200O years. It is altogether probable that cement works of a large capacity will be erected at Kingman in the near fu- ture, as the demand for cement now exceeds the production and is increas- ing constantly. In 1893 the production in the United States was 335, ,O00 bar rels annually. In 1900 it had increased to S,5OO,OOO barrels, and five years lat CT had reached 35,OOO,OOO barrels. This year, although 4O,OOO, ,OO0 barrels will be manufactured, the production is not keeping pace with the demand.

General Manager Davis, of the new Cedar Valley mining company, is at the mine arranging for the early re- sumption of work. Owing to the heavy storms in the mountains the work on road repair has been delayed, but it is expected that within week big force will be at work broadening the grade and making the road one of the best in the territory. A telephone line will be strung from Yucca to the mines and will be of great convenience to the people operating along its course. The mines are to be opened to 8 great depth and worked on a large scale. The company has taken in a large acreage of ground, much of which is of great value.

Silver to Reach 76 Gents.

Director Roberts of the mint says that within two years silver will reach 76 cents per ounce, below which point it will not go. He expects the quota tion of the white metal to be 76 cents by spring, but within the next two years it is sure to be stable at the price named. This is good news to miners, as the silver mines of the country are more dependable than gold, and as Mohave county has treas ures of silver in her mines we may ex- pect big boom in the silver mines of the old camps. ,-o.

Deputy Sheritfs Asa F. Harris and George B. Ayers Tuesday last brought in bar of bullion from the Goldroad mill that weighed FLOODS. This bar was of the same weight as that ship ped ten days ago. It is reported that the next bar from the mill will be the largest single bar of bullion ever got ten out in Mohave county. The for mer large one weighed 54,OOO$. At the mine the ore is improving on the 600 level and it is expected that the vein will soon be opened on the 700 level. Lack of power at the mine is cause for the delay in not opening up the ore body on the 700 level, but this will soon be obviated by the introduc- tion. .of the power from the generating station at Kingman.
