 James Jackman is here from his mining property on the east side of the Wallapais. He has been opening up the ground and now has large amount of shipping ore on the dump. It is estimated that there is now in sight in the superficial workings more than 3O,00O$ worth of ore, which could readily be put in marketable shape by small concentrating plant. The ore carries gold, silver and lead.
 G. w. Gibson is working force of men driving tunnel to cut the Hillside vein at a depth of several hundred feet The Hillside is situated in the Stockton Hill section, high above Union Basin, but so situated that It can be readily reached from either side of the mountain. The company operating the mine expects to keep on driving the tunnel until the vein is cut, where it is expected to open body of the rich ore found near the surface.
 This week sales of Carter Gold Mines stock was sold in Kingman for 32 cents, or at the rate of 32O,OOO$ for the mine. The Carter mine is close in to the Tom Reed property and is showing wonderful possibilities. The company recently ordered the shaft to be sunk two hundred feet deeper and the work of driving it downward will soon be in progress. The shaft now stands at a depth of 160 feet, where the vein was crosscut and an ore body five feet wide, carrying 30S ore was found This vein is now being drifted on with big results.
 H, L. McCarn, general manager of the Rainbow Mountain Mining con- pany, arrived from Denver this morn- ing and will leave on the Chloride train today for the mines. He reports that mining men in Colorado are look ing to Mohave county for the next interested in the progress that is now being made in all the districts. Work is now 10 be resumed on the Rainbow group of mines by the company and it is probable that plant will be put in to dress up the lower grade ores for market. The Rainbow is showing great bodies of ore, being opened sy- stematically to the 300 level.
 Dr. L. D. Godshall came up from his home iL Long Beach, California, last Thursday and went out Go Todd Basin to look over the work that is being done on the Big Bethel and Silver mines. The doctor has been buying more property on Stockton Hill, hav- ing last week secured the Stockton, Bryan, Prince George, and other in- terests, paying cash for every one. This purchase gives his people large acreage in that section and should the Cupel Robin Hood and De la Foun- taine mines be taken over by the same people they will have practically the cream of the Hill. It is probable that these mines will now be taken over by the company and we may expect to see large work carried on there within the next six months. The purchasing company is one of the largest and best kn Ta,t tal
 A corps of engineers is now making thorough examination of the Me- Cracken mine for the Godbe interests. These men have been at work on the property the past week and will no doubt complete the examination in a few days more. The mine is thorough ly plated and it is only necessary to check up the work of the other engin- eers. The mine needs big financial backing to put it in the dividend class and we hope that the men now consi- dering the taking over of the property will operate it on basis in keeping with this great vein. There is only one property in the United States that would be rival of the McCracken if put in condition to produce, and that is the Bunker Hill-Sullivan mine, at Wardner, Idaho, one of the largest lead-silver properties in the world. The McCracken is an immense vein of lead-silver ore, the ore shoot being very long and of great width. In the old days only the dry ores were taken from the mine and milled, the silver values ranging from sos to far into the
