 E. J. McNulty, superintendent of the Aztec Turquoise mines at Mineral Park, was in Kingman Monday last. Mr. McNulty is candidate for sheriff before the democratic convention and is one of the popular men of the county.
 D. c. Williamson came in from Music Mountain few days ago, where he constructed buildings for the Stewart-Warner company. He be- lieves the company has good mines and the prospect for large develop ment work this winter is good.
 J. B. Adams, an oil man of the new state of Oklahoma, has been looking over the Climax group of mines, near Cerbat, with view to taking bond on them. Mr. Adams is reputed to e wealthy oil man and is prepared 10 develop any property in which he be- comes interested.
 Frank Dudek and Frank Sperl, of the Arizona International mining company, came up from the camp last night. The gentlemen are interested in the tungsten properties near the copper camp and believe they have one of the best properties in the ter ritory. Work has shown up some good ore bodies.
 Capt. I. c. Conkey came over from Mineral Park last Thursday to attend to business affairs. He says that work on all the turquoise mines of the Min eral Park section is being rushed, four companies now employing miners in that field. Hundreds of pounds of the blue stone are being shipped to Los Angeles, New York and other manu- featuring points weekly. It is expect ed that this winter will be a banner time for the mines.
 w. F. Grounds, of Fresno, Cal, ar rived in Kinyman few days ago and has gone on to Blackberry from which place he will look after mining inter- ests at Music Mountain and elsewhere. Mir. Grounds is interested in the Music Mountain mines, now under bond to tle Stewart-Warner syndicate, of Chi cago and Goldfeld.

 J. A. Elway and wife, of Philadel- phia, have been Kingman visitors this week, Mr. Elway coming here for the purpose of closing up deal with T. R. Ga nier fo tn } Gold Bar mine, at Cerbat. Work is to be commenced on this mine at once. A shaft will be sunk several hundred feet and the mine fully exploited. The surface ores of the Gold Bar mine were ey- ceptionally rich, large tonnage having been worked by arastra in the early days.
 J. l.. Witney went down to the Me Cracken mine last Sunday to attend to important business matters. He was met at Yucca by R. P. Wheeler with the big Mitchell car. It is probable that the mine will soon resume opera tions, especially if an extension of time be secured on some of the op- tions. Nevertheless, if no extension is granted to the present holders of op- tions on the properties, there will be only short interval between this shut down and resumption of work by some other heavily capitalized company. The mine is to valuable to lie idle and rhining men are now taking an active interest in looking up it's record and present standing.
 J. w. Thorn departed last Tuesday to the mines of the Horseshoe con- pany, at Cerbat, where he will look after the development of the proper ties. He recently let a contract to Thomas Graves to sink the main shaft of the mine to depth of l55 feet from which level crosscuts will be run off to two parallel veins. These veins will be cut at approximately the same or greater depth than the present depth. The other veins are said to show splendid bodies of ore on the sur face and should the same grade of ore be encountered at the greater depth it
