It is reported that corps of engi- neers is making survey for cutoff from Seligman over the old govern ment survey down the Big Sandy and on to Parker. This is practically the route taken by the government en- gineers in 1852, known as the 35th par allel survey. It came down between Cottonwood Creek and the present line of road, down the Big Sandy on the west side to it's confluence with the Bill Williams, down Bill Williams to the Colorado river, crossing over to a point on the survey of the Arizona & California survey. but passing south of that survey near Amboy and on to the Pacific coast near San Buenaven- tura. This was a low level line and considered one of the best grades over mountain and desert ever run.

Mr. Nicolson is superintendent of the mill of the Queen Esther mine, near Mojave. The two men will experiment on a test lot of fifty tons of all classes, or run of the mine, and if successful it is the intention of the company to put in a large plant and work the ores by that method.

A Nogales dispatch to the Bisbee Review says: l.. M. Raines, general manager of the Columbia Consolidated Mining company is in town from a vis- it to his properties. He says a fierce fire has been ranging in the Finite Mountains of thirty miles in length and twenty-five in width. He and Gen. eral Manager Purcell of the Fortuna Mining company, with twenty men have been fighting this fire for eight days past. There was grave danger of destruction of the twenty stamp mill and other buildings on the Columbia Consolidated averted by the utmost vigilance and constant fighting of the flames which travelled in an unbroken sheet p miles in length and tiared high toward the smoke dulled sky. from the Cibua on the north end to Sierra del Ose, the southern extension of the property. On the Prote Broth CTS big Cocospera ranch the fire is still destroying grass and devastating the timber tract.

Charles Metcalfe looked over the mines of the Arizona Great Eastern company, in Wallapai Mountains, last Sunday. The mines of this company show splendid ore bodies and properly financed and under good management should become heavy producers.
 E. B. Van Deman, who operated the Mccall mines, in Weaver district a year ago, arrived in Kingman Sunday last and departed to the mines, ac- companied by L. w. Felt, a mining man of Chicago. The gentlemen re- turned the following day and Mir. Felt proceeded to Chicago. It is under S ood that Mr. Van Deman will again take up the Mccall mines and operate them on large scale.
 w. J. Martin returned Wednesday evening from Prescott, where he wis ited with his family few days the past week. He is getting the Enter prise mine In shape for active develop ment by shaft and drift. At present twelve men are at work on the mine and the shaft is being sunk toward the 300 level.
