MORE ACTIVITY IN THE K|NGMAN
 FIELD Treasure Troves of Gold And Silver In
 District

There are big dOings down in that part of Arizona that eenters around Kingman, meaning the country about forty miles east of Searehlight, Neva- da. This time it is the Golden Gem that is starting out to do big things The mill is to be kept grinding out steadily, and with immense reserves, the Gem should soon be heard from. Then, thede is the Gold Road property that is to have big new milling plant. Material is being pushed along as rap idly as possible, and within the next two months, there will be at least 2,000 tons of freight for this one property. Some of this is for the mine and some of it is for the mill, which will have 40 stamps. And there is also the Billy Bryan, which is going to expend the modest little sum of $2OO,OOO on equipment, both in its mine and it's plant for the reduction of ore.
 These are but a few of the events that are being pulled of in the King man country, and while they are not nOised around much, they are narbing- CTS of big days in that section. And why not7 There are districts, compact, numerous and neighbcrly, that have ore from daylight down. Some of the mines are treasure trOves of horn silver; some are PandOra's boxes of free gold. All of them are rich. And what is more, very few of the mines have been developed to any depth worth calling depth, but as work has progressed farther down from the sun light, the ore bodies have widened and the values have increased. These are points well worth keeping well in mind, because there are many who assert a boom is going to hit the Kingman re- zion at no late date, and that two score mines will be in profitable Oper- ation to help it along. In fact, just one of the districts nas 20 good mines, so when we say two-seOre, we are keep ing pretty close to veraeity.
 The Kingman sections have never had a stock boom, but they are spoil ing for one. The former work was mostly conducted by close corporations, but the little fellows are in there now, and they are doing so well they want to let the world know about it, so the investing public may have a chance of cooperating with tine Kingman oper- atOrS

TWO SHIFTS WORK AT SILVER
 PLU MI
Tombstone Consolidated Making Good
 Progress
From Saturdays Dany)

The recent developments in the Op- erations of the Tombstone Consolidat- ed Mines Company, references to which have been made in these columns, is source of much encouragement and qualification to all wno have been watching development and progress below water level, says the ProspectOr. The ore strike made on the 700 foot level, nearly 200 feet below the orig inal water level, has been found to ex- tend below the SO0-foot level, and the ore body, which in reality is a chute of large dimensions, is reasonably ex- pected to continue to the 1000-foot lev el, the present lowest depth.
 At the Silver Thread day and night shifts are at work, supplying the con- centrating plant at the mill with ore, the results from which are proving most satisfactory.
 At the Silver Plume work is contin- uing without interruption on the new shaft, from which connections are to be made with drift on the Emerald and operations of a virgin ore district pros eeuted. Other groups of the company are being opened, and an increased ore output is certain.
 The mammoth pumps continue their task of unwatering the depths at the rate of 5,OOO,OO0 gallons daily and making way for further explorations. Regular shipments are made to the smelters at Fl Paso and Saseo.
 Other properties in the district re port considerable activity. The Tomb stone Gold, Silver and Copper Compa- ny, with holdings adjoining the T. c. M. Co.,, is planning extensive work on two groups of merit. Supplies and machinery have been ordered and will shortly be installed and another ener- getic company will be added to the district.
 At the Hershal group weekly ship ments are made to Fl Paso, this prop erty maintaining a producing record that has earned for the company an enviable reputation.
 The Coehise company, who own the famous Ground Hog mine, contemplate reopening this property and again place the same among the producers. The Pittsburg- Arizona company, who own adjoining ground, the principal stock holders of which are interested in the Cochise, may operate jointly.
 4 number of chlOriders are working several groups in the district wnieh are proving renumerative. Shipments are made to the Douglas smelters.

CompanyMake Thorough Exploration Of
 Ground
(From Saturdays Daily

With the results of their tests se- cret, the prospecting party that has been engaged prospecting the Walnut Growers placers last year suspended oP- erations a few days ago and returned to Los Angeles. It is believed that the tests have proven satisfactory and that a dredging plant will be built soon.
 The ground has been tested in va rious places by drilling to bed rock. All of the employees came here from California They refused not only to take the public into thier confidence, but allowed no visitors on the ground during their operations.
 Residents of Walnut Grove district, many of whom are placer miners, are aware that the ground purchased by the California syndicate is rich in placer gold. Better than wages has been made in past years by miners working the bars by the crude rocker process. One of the principal share holders in the syndicate owns a num- Der of placer dredges in California, from which he is reaping handsome profits. The tests were made for the double purpose of proving the richness of the ground in gold and the eharae- ter of dredge best suited to its eco homie working.

The Physical g. F., P. & P.

A highly technical but interesting physical description of the Santa Fe, Prescott < Phoenix railroad was fur nished by General Manager Drake, who preceded MT. Murphy on the stand. MT. Drake, wno had had charge of the construction, said that the system con sisted of 2j7 miles of most expensive construction and expensive operation. The grades on the main line were as great as three and one-half per cent, and there were four per cent grades on one of the branches. So heavy were the grades that over 31 3-l0 per cent of the mileage the use of helper engines was required. The difficulties were made still greater by the curva-

ture, which was exceeded nowhere.
 On account of the nature of the traf- fc, there was a larger per cent of emp ty ears hauled on this line than on any other of which MT. Drake knew. He submitted some statistical information on this subject, showing that out of every fourteen ears hauled over the line ,only eight were loaded; while on the Illinois Central, of every tlirty- nine ears hauled, thirty were loaded.
 Fuel oil, which constituted nine per ,eent of the cost of operation, had in creased in cost 25O per cent within the last five years, within which time there had been a great reduction of rates. There had recently been increase of wages, and MT. Drake presented a statement showing a comparison of wages of the employees of this line with the wages paid in the middle tsates. Those of the employees exceed those of eastern employees by an aver age of nearly forty per cent.
 MT. Drake furnished figures as to comparative density of traffic, that of his line being about one-third as great as that of the lowest other road in the comparative list.
 He also presented figures showing the increase in the cost of materials. Crossties mad advanced 66 per cent; bridge timber, 10 per cent; ear tim Der, 40 per cent; spikes, 6.6 per cent.
 MT. Drake described also the grades and difficulties encountered on the main line, one great item of cost being water.
 At the conclusion of an exhaustive description of the road, the special ex- aminer asked MT. Drake if he could name the value of the road. He re- piled that he could not hand, but that he could collect the information.
 "Have they worked out a basis for tnisi" asked Mr. Norton of the exam finer. "This thing of physical valua- ton is one of the questions of the cen tury" The examiner replied that he did not know, and the matter was dropped.

 RAILWAY BUILDING
President F. M. Murphy Relates His Strenuous Experiences to The
 Commission

tually it will work out satisfactorily. The building of the railroad through to California will help out very ma terially, as it will everyone in this val ley. All the grievances that are now being so extravagantly indulged in in the valley, as the same relates to trans portation, freight rates, etc, will be completely eliminated when they get transcontinental line, which they are entitled to have, and undoubtedly will, the completion of which is not being hastened by giving support to politi- cal mise nief makers. We will always have enough of them without offering them any encouragement"
 MT. Murphy deprecated the bitter ness which had preceded and had at tended the hearing; the sending out to the world that this was an oppressed region, a "no-man's land," when it was to the interest of all the people to advertise the territory and the valley for all it was and invite capital to aid in its further development. The kind of an advertisement that had been given it, he said, would not make cas- fer his task of completing the A. & c. road to California, whereby the chief of the grievances now complained of would be removed by putting Phoenix on a main line.
 The Phoenix and Eastern.
 MT. Murphy was briefly questioned by Mr Costigan, who asked concern ing the taking over of the Phoenix and Eastern by the Southern Pacific. The question brought MT. billiard to his feet like an electric shock. He would most strenuously object to this line of inquiry on the ground in the first place that it could have no possi- ble bearing on the rate question. Be sides, said MT. billiard, the government is already in possession of all inform ation regarding the taking over of the Phoenix and Eastern. MT. Murphy, he said, had related the entire story at the hearing of the Union Pacific merg- CT case in New York a couple of months ago.
 Mr. billiard said that if the subject were to be revived at this hearing he would insist that he be given time to bring witnesses concerning the trans action. At the suggestion of the spec ial examiner, Mr. Costigan withdrew the question.
