down in Kingman. He is the owner of group of copper mines in the Par ker section, which just now are being worked under bond by a party of capi- talists. He reports that the mines are showing up splendidly.
 J. F. Mollering is in town from the Goldroad Red Top mines and reports having cut a small vein of good mill ing ore. He is driving drift across the big vein with view of cutting two large ore streaks that show on the surface. The vein will be cut at a depth of about forty feet.
 It is understood that the suit of M. A. Moore against John Temple, for commission on sale of the Temple mines to Salt Lake people, was this week settled out of court. What the terms of the settlement were have not been given out, but it is understood that everything was made satisfactory to all parties concerned in the deal.
 Assays from the recent strike of Hubert and George Smith, in the Al pine mine, south of Kingman, gave result of 46S gold from a thirty inch vein. An eighteen inch streak gave result of 4SS A small streak in the vein runs several hundred dollars to the ton. The boys are drifting on the ore and expect to open up a still greater ore body.
 Rumor has it that four foot vein of S7S ore was struck near Boulder Springs last week. A small streak running along the wall is shot full of free gold. Little is known of the sit nation of the mine, but it is said to be in the region between Boulder and Alpine Springs. Much rich float has been found in that section the past ten years, but no vein of importance has ever been found.
 A number of Winslow men are in- terested in rich find of gold and cop- per ore in the region of Parker and Ben Holmes, the well known Santa Fe agent of WinslOw, passed through Kingman a few days ago on his way to the mines to make an examination. The boys are well known in Kingman and their friends are pleased with their good fortune.
 number of new oil companies are preparing to go into the Virgin river field, the latest being California company, composed of oil men from the Bakersfield field. An expert for the company reports the Virgin one of the most promising oil fields in the west. The best part of the field lies south of Virgin City, is the re ort of the expert A well is now being drilled one mile south of town, which is expected to open new district.
 James F. Carter, who made such big cleanup of gold from the seepage waters of the Gold Road tailings pits, has lease on the tailing pit of the Victor Gold mining company, south of Goldroad, and is said to be making handsome cleanup daily. Mr. Carter knows more about the cyanide busi- ness than all the experts in the coun- try. When he began operations on the tails of the Gold Road mill, few years ago, the wise ones laughed and predicted that he would have his la- Dor for his gains, but he went right on and cleaned up about 3O,OOOS within short time and would have made still greater winnings had the company not terminated his lease
 This week Tom Reed shares sold in Los Angeles for 57 cents, which would place the value of the mine at 57O, ,OOOS. Practically no stock can be had at any price, the owners preferring to hold it until after the trial of the suit of the Shareholders of the old Blue Ridge company. If the Blue Ridge people fail to maintain their action Tom Reed will go above a dollar share at once. The company is said to have one of the most wonderful bodies of ore ever opened up in the San Fran cisco district. On the l5O level the vein is fourteen feet wide and it is claimed that the ore as broken down will average more than eos per ton.
