 Arvid G. Alm and brother were in from their mines near Fort Rock, this week. Messrs. Alm have good showing of copper ore in that section, upon which they have been at work me months.

 T. R. Garnier and Lew Stirzel went out to Mir. Garnier's mines south of Wheeler Wash, in the northeast part of the Wallapai mountains, last Tues day and returned the following day. Mr, Garnier reports that shaft on one of the mines is being sunk at the rate of about two feet daily and that the
 
 same rich ore found on the surface shows in the bottom of the shaft. The work promises to show up splendid vein of ore. A contract has been let to sink the shaft to depth of 100 feet.
 J. w. Johnson came up from Planet the first of the week. He reports that railroad line has been surveyed into the old Copper Prince mines, now owned by the Clara Consolidated com pany. As soon as this road is con- pleted it will open up the Bill Will iams Fork section as nothing else could. The mines of that section are among the best in Yuma county and will improve with every foot of devel- opment that is done on them. He re- ports Sam Butler working force of men on his Corona properties and that he has strong company back of him.

In the adt drift crosscutting IS now in progress and some nice cop- per ore is being opened up. The new pumping machinery is now on the road, some of it having been received at Yucca this week. AS soon as the bal ance arrives it will be hauled to the mines and installed. The big pump is sectional, so arranged that it can be readily packed over the trail from the Eshom ranch to the mines. It will have capacity of l00,O gallons daily. When this plant is installed the work of sinking will be pressed to the 500 level.
 Sam Butler, the we'll known mining man, returned to his mines on the Bill Williams Fork, the first of the week, from an extended trip to Pittsburg, where he conferred with the directors of the Corona mining company, which recently took over a big group of his mines. He reports that great amount of work has been mapped out for this winter and that ''rush" will be the order from now on. The company has purchased big holster, which will take the place of the whim formerly in use and with winch the shaft was sunk to the depth of 400 feet. The
