the new town of Brownsville. He re- ports that the Tawa Development com pany has reached depth of 100 feet on the Copper Giant mine and that station is being cut preparatory to drifting on the vein. The vein in this mine has increased in width and rich ness from the grassroots downward and at the bottom it is five feet wide of solid ore. Every pound of ore taken from the shaft has been shipped to the shelter. At another claim the con- pany has sunk to depth of seventy feet perpendicularly, where the vein was encountered. The striking of the ore at that point indicates the vein to be more than forty feet wide. Anoth- CT holster is soon to be put in when work will be commenced on another shaft. All the veins show great values in copper and gold. The company is making regular shipments to the smell ter and the returns pay all expense of the mines. The wagon road is almost completed and is one of the best pieces of roadwork in the county. The Tawa company this week made the final pay ment on the Hull properties and are soon to make final payment on the TOmlinsOn- Brown mines.
 w. A. Root, field correspondent of the Mining World, returned on Tues day from trip to Stockton Hill and Cerbat and on Thursday left for Gold Road. What he saw at the Treasure Hill, the Banner property on Stockton Hill, and the Golden Star and the big concentrating plant of the Cerbat Mountain Mining Company, convinces him the Cerbat range is not to remain much longer in the idle condition it so long has been. '"Hhese properties show" he says, Ian activity at once encouraging and success must come if the mineral is there, and probably no one doubts but that it is. The suc- cess of the plants depends on the prop CT development of the properties, which surely must come under judic ious and economical management and which success will influence the influx of much capital and enterprising mln- ing men into Mohave county.
 For several years work in small way has been carried on upon the mines of Jeff Bland, in the Grey back Mountain region, of the, .Aqparins range. Sometime agoa a large holster was brought in to the mines, but was never installed. Now force of men have gone in there to install the hois- ter and begin work on a deep shaft on the principal mine of the group. The mines are said to be among the best properties of that region. The values are gold and small amount of silver. The mines are situated some distance from Burro Creek, but are in well watered region. MT. Bland has work ed the mines off and on for over fif- teen years and believes he has rich ested with him in the enterprise.
 Dr. Otto Sussman, of Salt Lake City, trustee of the Tennessee Mining Con- !pany, arrived in Kingman from Los Angeles last Monday morning and de- parted to Chloride the following day, Dr.. Sussman informs us that his peo- pie have secured working agreement on the Schuylkill mine and bond and lease on the Elkhart and that work on these properties would be started up at once. The two properties are among the best lead mines of the dis trict and under the management of men who know the mining business are sure to become big producers of the metal. At the Tennessee mine a great deal of ore is being produced and shipments are being made regu- larly to the smelters.
 Frank R. Sperl and J. H. Piper, who have large mining interests in the Copper World section, east of Drake, are in town awaiting instructions from their partners. It is claimed that the mining claims under location are very large, carrying values in gold, silver and copper. Another group near them is owned by parties who are in Europe making arrangements for extensive
