Greedy Clack and Lon Wells al e working on the Rico mine, near the c. O. D. It is said that good ore is showing in the property and the boys expect to make a nice stake from ore shipments.
 A. B. McNamara, Ge orge Fisher, and Thomas Graves, of Chloride, were in Kingman the past few days. The gentlemen are well known miners of the big lead camp.
 A nice body of ore was recently opeeed up on the Gold Bar mine, at Cerbat, now under bond to J. A. FL way. of Philadelphia. It is under stood that MT. Elway will soon return from the east and let some large con- tracts on the property.
 The Golconda mine is shipping large quantities of zinc ore to the smelters daily. The mine continues to show bigger and better ore bodies with every days work and it is thought that the exploiting of the property below the present level will prove a. oae of the greatest zinc properties in tEe southwest.
 Matters are shaping up for an active year in the mines of the Stock ton Hill country. It is expected that within month work will be under way on the Cupel and De la Fountaine mines, as well as a number of other properties in that neighborhood. The companies that are to operate the mines will be well financed and the men in charge will be among the best mine managers of the country.
 A. w. Bratland is getting things in shape to begin the erection of a five stamp mill on his property in the Sil- yer Creek section. He has associated with him company of Minneapolis people who are looking after the finan- cial end of the concern while he is getting the property into shape to make large output. It is thougl t that the mine can now be made to pay its way while further development is being carried on. Mir. Bratland is one of the most conscientious and able mine managers in the county and the people who are putting in the coin are sure to get the worth of their money. They have a good property and an honest management.
 This week, at Prescott, s. A. Tyler was before Judge Sloan on a motion to dissolve an injunction restraining him from disposing of his mining property in the Mineral Park section, known as the Golden Eagle group. The motion was granted. Recently Tyler was sued for divorce by his wife in the Los Angeles courts. He brought suit in the Arizona courts and secured a de- cree and ad an injunction dissolved, but later the wife St cured decree in the courts at Los Angeles and again secured an order restraining him from disposing of his property pending an adjudication of property interests. This was disposed of and now MT. Ty- Ter can make any disposition of the property that he may desire without interference.

Chambsrlain's Cough Remedy the Most
 Popular Because it is the Best.

'I have sold Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for the past eight years and find it to be one of the best selling medicines on the market. For babies and young children there is nothing better in the line of cough syrup, " says Paul Allen, Plain Dealing, La. This remedy not only cures the coughs, colds and croup so common among young children, but is pleasant and safe for them to take. It contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be
 given to baby as confdentally as to an adult. For sale by H. H. Watkins.

A Great Silver Mine.

The Home Pastime mine, at Mineral Park, is becoming one of the richest mines ever opened up in that rich section of Mohave county. At a depth of I2O feet drift was run 100 feet through an ore body that had an average width of three feet. Slopes have been opened and now the lessees, John Barry, Jr., Joe Prisk, and Charles Perdue, are breaking down ore at the rate of a carload a week. They have in the drift eight tons of ore no piece of which will weigh less than 100 pounds and some going as high as 800 pounds in weight. These chunks of ore are masses of native silver. Big wires extend from the rock five and six inches and nests of silver wires fill all the crevices in the ore. Those who have visited the mine say the showing is one of the richest they have ever seen. Even the Buck eye and Rural in their best days did rot compare with this stope of ore. Along the bottom of the drift the ore body shows in undiminishing width and value. The leasers have put on a gasoline holster and are able to con- trol the supply of water with bucket, but when the new lift is sunk they will put in a pumping plant. The vein is big and strong wherever open- ed and is easily worked. It is said that in the one stope along there is more than 5O,0O0S of ore showing. The lease runs two years, which gives ample time for the extraction of a fortune.
Mohave County miner., 1909-02-13

The Golden Gem mill is said to be making a record for itself these days. The ore now being sent to mill is of better grade than any heretofo e taken from the property and the sav- ing is very close.
 The Western Railway of Arizona appears to be doing good business these days and it is probable that a better service will have to be put on. The company now runs three trains weekly to Chloride, returning the same day. With the opening of sev- eral new mines and a greater pro- duction of the old properties it is prob able that trackage will be extended to Cerbat and Todd, Basin. The mines of that section deserve better treat ment from the railroad than they have gotten and it is probable that the railroad people will look at it that way.
 Dr. W. E. Sauls and J. D. Jordan went out this morning to the Gold Grown mines, in Union Pass, wheI e they will put several men 10 work p . pairing that property for thorough sampling. The mines are now under bond to a wealthy company and it is the belief that they will be taken over.

The fact is that the East is 50
