J. D. Jordan and O. D. M. Gaddis
 have disposed of their option on the
 old Mariposa mine, in the Wallapai
 mountain to G. w. Gibson, of Denver.
 It is understood that Mir. Gibson and
 associates will soon be here to begin
 work on the mines.
 John Boyle, Jr., who has been in
 Kingman the past few days attending to important mining business, reports that in the bottom of the shaft on the Golconda mine great body of zinc ore has been encountered In all the openings the ore bodies are showing great improvements. Miners working in the property believe it to be one of the greatest zinc properties on the coast.
 o. F. Kuencer and H. H. Simpson, of Los Angeles, departed Thursday morning last to Burro Creek, where they will make an examination of the Penberthy claims, on the big Burro lode. It is claimed for the property that it offers great inducements for the investment of capital on account of the excellent values to be found in the ores and opportunity for big power installation on Burro Creek, at a point mile or so above the mines.
 A telephone message from s. c. Bagg, who is operating the Cyclopic mines, at Gold Basin, conveyed the information that he is running his mill on ore averaging fifteen dollars to the ton and getting good results The adit drift on the vein of the Cyclopic is being driven into the mountain on a five foot streak of ore that averages b. CT than fifteen dollars gold to the T. Mr. Bagg believes he has one of the best properties in the Gold Basin section and that he is sure to make a fortune out of the investment.
 J. D. Jordan, the we'll known mining man, who has had bond on the Gold Grown group of mines in the Union Pass section, this week transferred his option to Dan s. Richards. The mines are owned by O. D. M. Gaddis and Dr. w. E. Sauls. It is the intention of MT. Richards and associates to begin active work on the mines within the next month and is now getting things in shape to make camp at the mines. The Gold Grown group has one of the best surface showings in the Union Pass section, while superficial tunnels and shafts show up the ore bodies equally we'll Immense float is scat tered over a large area of country from this vein, all of which give values in gold. .f
 Dan s. Richards reports that his company is getting things in shape to begin active operations on the Tyro group of mines, in the Union Pass sec tion. A pole line will be put in at once from Spears Lake and power taken to the mines, where an electric holster will be put on and sinking con- menced. As soon as camp is estab- lished it is the intention of the con- pany to put on as large a force of men as can be accommodated. The shaft on the property will be forced down as fast as men and machines can do the work, it being the intention of the company to exploit the mines in the shortest possible time. Should the mine continue to improve or show per- manency of present ore bodies the company will probably equip them with a large reduction plant and heavy mine machinery. The company is well able financially to carry through any of their undertakings.
 An immense strike has been made on the Holy Moses mine, owned by A. l.. McKesson and situated about seven miles south of Kingman. At a depth of 63 feet five feet of rich milling ore has been encountered, but owing to | the inflow of water and lack of ma chinery to handle it work had to be stopped until holster can be put on. For month past Mir. McKesson has been running his little mill one hour a day on ore from the shaft, which nets about 35S to the ton on the plates. This is done to pay expenses and use
