LITTLE FLORA HAS RIGHT
 TO MORE ATTENTION

I KINGMAN, Feb. I0.[Among the
 old mines of the Cerbat country is the rFlores, known in early days as the Lit
 tie Flora. This property has we'll
 timbered shaft to a depth of 300 feet
 and has a large body of medium grade
 milling ore. In the surface of the mine
 pockets and lenzes of rich ore were
 found and practically all the ground
 to depth of 100 feet shows the ef- fleets of the old Mexican "coyote''
 work, where they took out the rich
 bodies to reduce in their arastras. At
 the bottom there is said to- be. an ore
 body nine feet ia width that gives $I5
 gold values. The mine at present is
 full of water, but as this is a valuable
 asset at Cerhat it will prove of no in
 convenience when capitalists take it
 over for work or examination. The
 mine is equipped with good steam
 holster and milling plant, Within a
 month it could be put on a producing
 basis should the proper party take it over.
 A message received yesterday from O. F. Kueneer carries the information
 that the Golden Star Mining company
 is connecting the 200 and. 300 levels and blocking ore for stoping purposes in the Golden Gem mine. On the 500 stoping was being carried on and splendid milling ore being extracted On the 500 the vein is being erosseEt from wall to wall. It is probable that this crosseut will be carried to the other veins in the location and.s the wnole ground fully exploited. There are five or six distinct veins within the, boundaries of the Golden Gam property, at Cerbat, and each one sf these veins carries ore of milling val ues. The company now has the oppoz~ 'tunity of crossing these veins at depth of six hundred. feet and it is probable that this work will open up some great ore bodies. The mill is now being run on ore from the 800 lev el and good results are. being obtained on plates and over the eoneentrator ta- bles. The new work has opened up considerable water The Gem is one, of the best of the gold properties of Wallapai district.
 Wednesday last William Ba:ly and, a representative of one of the large iron works of Los Angeles came in from Gold Road and departed to Los It is understood that the visit of these gentlemen to Gold Road was for the purpose of looking over the ground and coming to some eonelu- sion regarding the subject of a big milling plant for the Gold Road mines Grading for this mill is now in pro- gress and within sixty days machinery fer the mill will be assembled. The mill will be one of the most complete on the Pacific coast, being entirely au- tomatie in its actions from the ore bins to the bullion furnace. When completed the mill will have a daily of from 300 to 800 tons of ore. No one at present knows what style of mill is to be used, but it is probable that it will be stamps and some other variety of erushers for fine work, in which the greater part of the pres will be slimed and treated through the latest improved filter presses. In the old mill filter pressing gave the best of results, the loss being from twenty to forty cents per ton, while he tanks gave loss of over two dol ars per ton. The whole plant of ma .hinery is to be electrically equipped
