 This week workmen for the Arizona Gold mines company have taken down the large wooden water tank, formerly used by the Santa Fe railroad mpany at this place, and will erect it again at the Bi-Metal mines three miles south of town. The tank was erected by the railroad company twenty five years ago, but is so well preserved that one would not believe it had been in use one-half that time.
 John Kelsy and Frank Padillo came up from Cedar few days ago to at tend to matters before the Probate Court. Mr. Kelsey has bond on the mine owned by the Padillo estate and as soon as the matter is strengthened out in the court the purchase price of the property will be paid over. The mine is near the San Francisco. in Ce- dar district. Recently immensely rich ore was shipped from the mine to the Needles shelter.
 George Johnson and Fred Stull, of Chloride, have gone to the Treasure Hill section, where they will do assess ment work on the Nora mine, formerly the Mocking Bird. This mine has been one of the rich chloriding mines of the Stockton Hill section and the gentlemen expect to take out enough ore to pay them we'll while doing the annual work. Last year nearly one thousand dollars worth of ore was ta- ken out while doing the work.
 Newton Evans, who recently made deal on the Signal Copper company's property, on Bill Williams Fork, with George Mitchell, who merged it with the holdings of the Clara Copper com pany, was in Kingman this week to arrange for prosecution of work on the old Dean mine, some fifteen miles east of Kingman.

 Judge H. F. Best and wife came in from Savannah, Mo-, last Monday evening and departed the following day to the Treasure Hill mines. It is understood that work on larger scale will now be carried un on these properties. Mr. Wells, who has had charge of the properties the past year, has opened up fine ore bodies on all the levels in the property and has made good progress with a small force of men. The property will un- doubtedly prove a good one when ex- ploitation has been carried to depth of 800 or 600 feet.
 W. P. Carr is doing the annual as- sessment work on the Copper Canyon group of molybdenite mines, owned by l.. J. Lasell, w. J. Connor, E. s. Os- borne and Smith x Sawyer. The mines show wonderful bodies of moly ybdenite associated with copper. The owners have been experimenting on methods of treatment of this ore and have at last succeeded in making a separation of the metals on commercial basis Copper is deleterous substance when associated with molybdenite and has to be eliminrted before it can be mar keted. So far as can be ascertained the mines are the largest ever dis covered.
