 mine, and soon work will be com
 menced in sinking below the old leve
 in that historic property.
 Dr. w. E. Sauls and O. D. M. Cad.
 dis, accompanied by several gentle. men, spent several days this week at the Tragedy mines, where the gentle men added to their holdings by impor- tant locations in the neighborhood of the original group.
 George Klemp spent few days dur ing the week in Kingman from the Mint mine, where he has been at work running drift in on the vein. He is interested in the property with J. F.. Withers and expects to do things when the ore body is reached.
 A carload of rich zinc concentrates was shipped from the Tennessee mill last Saturday. This will be used as sample of the product of the new mill and is expected to bring top prices in the market. Another static separator will be added to the machines now in the mill for the purpose of grading up the fines and coarse pubs.
 Only few men are now at work on the Banner mines under Superinten- dent Cohenour, but it is expected that this force will be added to before the first of the coming month. The low price of silver and lead has had de. pressing effect on mining in the Stock ton Hill country, but this will soon pass away and that section will be one of the most prosperous in the county before many months have passed.
 A. w. Bratland came in from his property in the Silver Creek section, last Wednesday, for the purpose of get ting his holster on the way to the | mine. He reports the cutting of fine body of ore near the surface, which shows much gold in the horn. No assays have as yet been made of this new ore body, but it is of good mill ing value. Water was encountered in such volume in the shaft that work had to be suspended pending the in- stallation of holster to handle it. The mine is showing up in splend d shape and promises to be one of the big properties of the district.
 Charles H. Burlock came in from the Mossback mines Wednesday last and departed last evening to his home { in San Diego. He reports that in do- ( ing the annual work on the Mossback fine body of gold ore was encounter :, ed about fifty feet from the old shaft. t No definite idea was gained of the ex- l tent of this ore body, but Mr. Burlock believes it will exceed that in the old workings of the property. The vein is me of the largest in the Silver Creek f section and the shoots are of great ex- C ,ent. There is plenty of water in the S nine for milling purposes and it is I possible in the near future reduction c plant will be erected for the reduction V md recovery of the gold values. 2 Two immense dynamos were received $ his week by the Desert Power and < Water Company from the Western Electric company, of Chicago. They Ire Of 15O horse power capacity each u md can be run up to carry the whole 5 oad of 1900 horse power whenever nec- 's'ary. The big engines are being U 'ut in place and will be ready to be " 'laced in commission about the first , # Va 'ch. Two of the big boilers are T n place and are being connected up. U The a a,sive concrete foundations for me set of engines has been completed nd the work of assembling the parts l, under way. There is delay in the V eceipt of the steel roofing, but this N will not impede the work of assem- n 'ling the big machines in the building. K Last Sunday another big bar of bull ion was brought in from the Gold Road mill and shipped to the mint. U While the mill is closed down regular IT hipments of bullion will be made Il rom the big dumps, which are now W eing treated by pumping a low per- h entage cyanide solution over them o1 nd pumping back the percolating ol 'aters through the zinc tanks, where O bic recovery in gold is mada ub;e e
