iams Fork to a company of mining men, who are to at cnce begin work of development. He states that the men have just discovered rich body of silver ore in the section north of BOuse.
 Ross Bechtel and Stuart Yer Mehr came in from the Brown mine last Thursday and brought with them sam ples from body of ore that they ran into the first of the week. Assays from the sample ran high in gold, silver and copper and the boys have return ed to the mine in gleeful frame of mind.
 H. l.. McCarn, general manager of the Rainbow mines, was in Kingman the first of the week. He reports that the shaft on the Rainbow mine has reached depth of l6O feet and has a good showing of ore. This shaft is being put down perpendicularly and as the vein is vertical it follows this vein all the way. The mine is one of the best of the lead-bearing veins of the Chloride section.
 $. D. Myers came over from Chlor- idle this week to get matters connected with the estate of the late James Car roll strengthened out. He says that while things are quiet in and around the big lead camp number of leasers are making good money. At the Lucky Boy, Fred Stull is getting out very rich ore, and at the Samoan the leas- CTS are getting out about two cars of high class ore monthly. Other leasers are at work in other parts of the field and all appear to be making money.
 The Grand Gulch mine is making regular shipments of ore from that property to Moapa, where it is ship ped over the Clark road to the Salt Lake smelters. The distance to Mo- apa from the mines is only forty miles and the freight by team is quite mod crate. Harry Gentry, well known in this section, has the contract for haul ing and has three teams on the road. The Grand Gulch ores average about fifty per cent copper, some of the ship ments running as high as 70 per cent.
 James Larkin came over from the new camp of Hart, California, the lat ter part of last week. He reports that while there is some milling ore open- ed up in the main discovery lode the general character of the ore is low grade. Should water in quantity be developed it is possible that good milling ore can be had in the veins of the camp, although so far the ore found is in large kidneys. The own CTS of the claims have leased out much of the ground and the leasers are faith fully at work developing the veins in hope of striking shipping ore.
 Eli Hilty returned last week from trip to Rawhide, where he took look over the mines of that region. While he believes there is possibility for the opening up of few milling prop critics, there is nothing so far devel- oped to warrant the rush of people in- to that camp. The grade of the ore is low, too low to ship to the outside re- duction works and nothing can be done with it until the camp is equipped with cheap method of reducing the ores and extracting the metals. The camp is thirty miles from railroad and water and wood is scarce. If the boom bursts, as it is sure to do unless something better than is now appar- ent shows up, the camp will be prac- tically deserted inside of six months. MT. Hilty believes this section offers much better advantages for the mine and prospector than does any portion of Nevada.
 J. H. Hoffman returned Saturday last from the mines of the Arizona Southwestern mining company, in Crow Canyon, and after attending to business matters in Kingman depart ed Monday night to his home in Pueb- do. He reported the mines to be in fine shape and that rich ore was being found in the vein and through the tale filling between the walls. He brought back with him some hand some specimens of native copper from
