 The Brawn residence on South

 and fitted up in splendid shape. It is
 on the street.
 A. I. Richardson has opened up a
 wonderful body of gold ore in his min
 ing claim, near Meyers Well, in the
 Union Pass section. The ore body is
 four feet wide and shows free gold all
 through the vein. Specimens exhib-
 ited in Kingman are wonderfully rich.
 M. Scanlon and Monte Penberthy
 returned from a trip to Burro Creek
 few days ago, where they inspected
 the big Burro vein, in which Mr. Pen
 b srthy is interested, The vein is one
 of the largest in that section of the
 county and is situated in an ideal
 place for economic working.
 Ed. Frankforter has been working on the School Marm mine, near Fall Spring, in the Chemehuevs mountain, and is said to have encountered the old ore shoot, from which so much rich gold ore was taken several years ago. The vein faulted and heretofore all work was done in the wrong direc- ton. Mr. Frankforter drove a drift the other way and struck the treasure.
 Mrs. A. H. Dryden has several men at work on the Altat, d Little Giant mines. at Chloride. A nice body of ore has been opened up on the surface of the Altata, some distance from the main shaft, while in the Little Giant the ore in the adt drift is looking fine. The two properties never looked | better and it is probable that ship ments will soon be made to the smell ter from the new ore bodies.
 Robert Rrannock is in Kinyman from the mining section of the Union Pass. He believes that that part of | Mohave county will soon be the scene of active mining development and that the mines, when properly equipped. will become the greatest producers of gold in the territory. He is himself the owner of a large group of claims in the, Secret Pass section and during the pi>f year ha, opened up some wonder fnlly rich ore bodies. Interested with him is County Treasurer J. $. Withers
 Work on the Expansion Cold mimi big bore, in the Union Pass section. i, progressing rapidly and it is tn )l rht that within a year it will have passed through the big vein. At the upper level, in which the tunnel pa>s- es entirely through the mountain, fine body of milling ore was opened up. Should the lower tunnel strike the same body the mine will be fully proven to depth of 800 feet. The vein is one of the largest in the county and carries values from wall to wall.
 James Rawl was a visitor in King man the past week, coming up from the Chemehuevis mountains after SUD- plies. He reports that there are sev eral mining companies operating prop critics in that section. The Franconia mining company has a shaft down over one hundred feet and is drifting on the vein. The ore body shows up good and it is expected that machinery will soon be put in and sink the shaft to | greater depth. The Colorado Mining , company is working force of men on l a vein below Blacksmith Well and is [ said to be getting good results An. ( other mining company is operating up in the high range and has a fine show ing of ore. r
 Hon. R. R. Clancy, M. F., of To- a 'onto, Canada, paid visit this week to his brother, J. R. Clancy, at Chlo- ride, where they are interested in the development of the Gladstone group of r mines. Messrs. Gamey came in from $ ,he mines Wednesday last and R. R. i Samey departed to Los Angeles the i same evening, where he goes to pur- chase machinery for the mine. This a $ the first visit of R. R. Gamey to k his section and he is we'll pleased a with both the country and people. He f s big operator in the Cobalt and f. fields, but believes that II
