 S R. Porter, general manager of the Red Gap mines, is in Kingman. This week the mines were visited by Messrs. Fellows. White and Richards, who may become interested. The mine Is said to be showing up wonderful values in the new shaft now being sunk on the property.
 Mes,rs. White, Richards and Eel lows, accompanied by County Treasurer Withers, were at the Tyro mines last Sunday, returning to Kingman Mon day evening. It is quite within the possibilities that the first named three gentlemen will take over the Tyro and develop It to at least 800 feet in depth. The mine is one of the largest and strongest leads in the Union Pass section, and it has the values.
 O. D. M. Gaddis went out to the Last Chance and First Chance miues yesterday and mace an eXaminati n of the work being done. He reports that the drift on the vein from the lower level is now in about twenty feet, where the vein shows two feet of solid ore. This ore gives good milling values in gold and carries high per cenlage Of lead. The other owners in the property are hard at work driving the drift ahead and expect to open up great ore body.
 C. J. Hutchison is building up great group of mines around the Ex- pansiOn property, near Union Pass, having just located additional veins of ore, from which milling values have been obtained. It is the intention of the con p&ny 10 continue active devel opmenI ui the big vein of the group and at the same time begin the work of assembling a large milling plant al the mine. Considerable water has been developed at the property and it is believed that more can be had m the vicinity.

Mr. Lantry has gone east to look after important business, but will return soon to begin work of ex- plotting on the Cupel mine.
 Last "Wednesday an important mat ter was argue before Anson Il. Smith, Court Con. missioner for MOhave cUuu- ty, being the application for tempOr- ary restraining order against the Tom Reed mining company, on petition of the Blue Ridge Mining company es- topping sale of the mines and disburse- ment of dividends.

Ross, of Prescott The presentation of the case consumed the whole afternoon, and was listened to by large number of people. In the evening Mir.

The commissioner rendered his decision permitting the sale of the property, but restraining il from disbursing moneys received from such sale and also restraining them from disbursing dividends. De- fendants gave notice that application would be made to Judge Sloan to have the injunction dissolved. Gov. Thomas. who appeared in behalf of the plaintiffs, is one of the most noted mining lawyers of the United Sates, and his appearance in this case adds greatly to the notoriety given the now famous case of the Blue Ridge con- pany and it's shareholders against the Tom Reed company and its officers and shareholders for possession of the Tom
