 A holster has already been placed on the Gladstone mine, at Chloride, where J. R. Clancy is working force of men. It is the intention of Mir. Gamey's company to sink shaft on the ore to depth of 300 or more feet and then open up the levels as fast as possible. The mine shows fine bodies of high grade lead ore in all the open- ings.
 w. N. Cummings, who has been making an examination of the mines of Chloride and Weaver districts, re- turned to Kingman last Tuesday even. ing, and departed the following day to Tucson. He was much pleased with the section of country visited and will return in about month to take a look over the southern end of the Wallapai district and the other dis tricts to the south of Kingman.
 Several standard rigs are now at work in this county, near the Utah line. The owners of the property be- lieve that the best oil bearing strata is to be found south of the Virgin river, the oil bearing ground north of that place being shallow and the stratas small. The blossom near the line of the two states is large and we'll defin- ed, the overflow of oil leaving immen- SC pools of asphaltum. Smaller pools are to be found almost to the Colorado river, approximately north of Diamond Canyon.

 The Tracy Engineering Company this week received two condensing pumps for the power plant that taxed the capacity of big flat car. These pumps will be used in connection with the big engines at the plant and are supposed to effect great economy of fuel. The plant is fast assuming shape, the big boilers and one engine having already been set up. Owing to the non-arrival of the structural ma terial for the roof work has been somewhat delayed on inside work, owing to the heavy rains of the past week. It is understood that a part of the plant will be ready for power transmission by the time the Gold Road company is ready to receive the juice.
 Fred w. Morrison returned Monday morning from Los Angeles, where he and J. D. Jordan closed up deal for the mines of Frank R. Sperl, with Jan Kubelick, the noted violinst. It is understood that Otto Rubin, one of the wealthy capitalists of Chicago, is at the head of the Kubelick company and that it is capitalized for large sum of money, large part of which has already been placed in the treasury.
