 company number of prospects in the Stocton Hill mining section. The claims were only recently located, but the price paid for them is said to have been good.
 Work is progressing on the Mid night mine, at Chloride, under the direction of w. c. Fellows and Dan s. Richards. The report is current that they are impressed with the property and will take it over for the account of A. L. White, of Lima, Ohio, should further exploration confirm them in their present view.
 The Goldroad M. & k. company now ships auro-cyanides, instead of re- ducing them to bullion. Just what the reason is for this is unknown. Deputy Sheriff Gideon went out to Goldroad yesterday and will bring in about 40,000$ of the cyanides for ship ment to the shelter. The company is making close saving of gold and the big mill is pounding away on high grade rock
 James Bone came in from the Sum- init and Silver Monster mines last Thursday. He unwatered the Sum- init and the first of the week experts made an examination of the property for the U. s. Smelling and Mining company. It is probable that the mines will be taken over by this cor poration. as the property is one of the most valuable in the northern part of Stockton Hill section.
 O. F. Kuencer was over in the Sill yer Creek section this week getting work going on the Golden Star group of mines. Six men were put to work and it is understood that a large amount of work was mapped out for the future. Mir. Kuencer will return to the mines within ten days. The Golden Star mines are situated in the section near the old Moss and are said to carry good gold values in the out crop.
 The Century Mining company, 'own- ing the Pinkham mine, at Chloride, has purchased the Vanderbilt mill, at Cerbat, and is soon to remove it to it's property, where it will be doubled in capacity and put in commission as soon as possible. The mill now has capacity of about twenty-five tons daily, being fitted with majestic separators and concentrators. As soon as the new mill is in commission large force of men will be put to work on the mine, although at present time it has large tonnage of ore opened up in the stopes. The Pinkham is one of the large copper properties of the Chloride section and has shipped large tonnage of ore.
 It is quite within the probabilities that soon after the first of the year a spur will be built from the main line of the Western Railway of Arizona to Todd or Union Basins. The heavy tonnage of ore from that section necessitates cheaper hauling and only spur from the main line can give it to them. Nearly one thousand tons of ore per month is going out from the Golconda mine alone, while the other mines that are soon to resume work will greatly increase this tonnage. The matter is now up to the officials of the road, the local department having recommended the building of the spur.
 In crosscutting for the vein in the lower drift on the Ruth mine. in the Silver Creek section, four foot vein of ore running into the hundreds of dollars was encountered. It is said that the average value of the ore was found to be close to l00S per ton, while there are some small stringers not taken in the average that run over one thousand dollars to the ton in gold. Mr. Leedy. who has been prosecuting the work on the property the past six or eight months, believes he has a big winner. Messrs. Blanton and Masters this week made an ex- animation of the mine and it is prob lbe that they may become inter- ested in it.
