 w. F. Grounds was down from Hack berry Tuesday and Wednesday of this week getting assay results from his mining claims in the Music Mountain section. It is understood that the re- suits obtained were good and that he intends to begin the active develop ment of the mines. Several other par ties are associated with Mr. Grounds in the mines.
 F. P. Andreas departed Thursday evening to Los Angeles. where he ex- poets to conclude the deal with s. A. Tyler for the purchase of Tyler's en- tire interest in the Golden Eagle mines. Mir. Tyler is now in business in Los Angeles and is cleaning up his mining interests in this county. MT. Andreas is at the head of a company, which in- tends to develop the Golden Eagle group to depth of several hundred feet this year and build big milling plant on the property. The work so far done on the mines is said to have developed magnificent showing of ore.
 Judge H. F. Best and wife were Kingman visitors last Monday. Judge Best brought in with him from the Treasure Hill mines some of the finest specimens of silver ore ever seen in the county. He reports that on the 50 foot level of vein number two a body of ore has been uncovered that gave assay returns of from 500 to 1000 ounces silver to the ton. The vein is of good width and capable of produc- ing large tonnage of ore. The strike is below the old workings, from which the old owners, in the early days, took some of the richest ore produced by a Stockton Hill property. In the main workings good ore is showing, but the large volume of water encountered in the drifts caused suspension of work at that point for few days until the surplus was drained off.
 Morgan J. Jones came up from the San Francisco mine this week to meet a party of San Francisco men, who came here to make an examination of the Pilgrim mines. They went out to the mines last Tuesday and are mak- ing a thorough examination of the property. Mike Dempsy is at work on the main claim of the group crosscut- ting the vein at the 300, where he ex- poets to get a rich body of ore. The mines are owned by William O'Dea and M. G. Dempsy. When the mines were discovered, a few years ago, a rush to that region was made, but only few claims were staked, as the discoverers had covered all available ground. A shaft was sunk on one of the mines and good ore was opened up While under bond large price was refused for the property and the bond was given up by John Brockman, be- cause of a refusal of an extension of time. Some rich ore was shipped to the shelter from the property, but in the main the ore is of a fine milling grade.
 M. w. Ingraham, of Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, arrived in Kingman this week and already has become inter- ested in mining property in this coun- ty. He is an old friend of A. w. Kent, who recently purchased an interest in a mining property from Chittendon and Buchanan, in the Gold Flat sec- tion, south of Kingman. Mr. Ingra- ham added to the holding of Mir. Kent by taking in group of claims owned by Messrs. Chittendon and Buchanan, consisting of the Star Wano, Star Wano Extension, Lime Cap, Judique, Lucy, Sidney and Glace Bay. Plans have been formulated for the develop ment of the mines, shaft will be sunk to depth of 100 feet and the vein thoroughly explored at that depth. Lumber has been purchased
