 w. H. Bradley, a well known min eralogist of Chicago, who has been ex- anining the Golden Gem mines at Cerbat, this week made trip to the Enterprise mine, at the north end of the Wallapias, where he looked over that big copper proposition.
 The machinery and material for the mill of the Nevada Arizona Gold Mines company has been assembled at the mines, at Music Mountain, and the company is fast getting it in place. Within short time the mill will be grinding out gold bars that will please the most critical of it's shareholders.
 A. K. Adams, land examiner of the Interior Department, has about com pleted the examination of mines in this county, for which patent appli- cations were recently made. He found everything in good shape, practically all applicants having complied with the most stringent re- quirements of the land department of the government.
 J. L. Phillips, general manager of the Gold Roads M. X E. company, passed through Kingman on his way to the mines last Monday morning. At the big mill the saving is said to be so close that the tailings are now turned loose into the canyon and are being washed far down toward Silver Creek. The way the mill is sluicing the ore through is far beyond the ex- pectaton of the designers of the plant.
 Dan $. Richards and W. c. Fellows returned last Monday evening from the Ruth mine, over in the Silver c eek section, where they had been making an examination of the prop "rty. The Ruth is one of the best looking propositions in the San Fran cisco district, so far as exploitation has been carried. The ore runs very high and indications are that it will have large continuous ore body.
 Dr. L. D. Godshall, manager of the large mining interests of the United States Mining and Smelling company, i, getting things in shape for an active campaign of development on all the properties. It is understood that the company contemplate the expenditure of one million dollars in. the develop. ment of it's Mohave county holdings. The mines are all situated in Wallapa district and entirely in the sulphide belt.
 l.. Hoffman, general manager of the Chloride Gold Mines company, was at Chloride this week looking over the Samoan tunnel site with view to getting the initial work under way. The driving of this tunnel will open up the Samoan group and the Lucky Boy mines at great depth, with the probability of cutting many veins in it's course. It is expected that the tunnel will be under the management of Mir. Hoffman for the various inter- ests.
 In doing the assessment work on the Copper Apex mining claim, at the head of Bismarck Canyon some. ex- ceptonally good copper ore was found. At this point some years ago boul- der of copper ore weighing in the neighborhood of 800 pounds was found, but no trace of the place from whence it came was discovered. In doing the present work indications point to that part of the vein as the ore bearing strata from which the float came. Some of the small pieces of ore found in the drift show values high in cop- peJ. The vein is one of the largest in the territory, showing in places a width of nearly 800 feet and being traceable on the surface from Lorena Flat, below Stockton Hill, to Chloride, every foot of which is now under To- cation and carrying values throughout. There is not anywhere greater length ,os mineralized vein in any country than this. Below Mineral Park it forms the great porphyry belt, in which all the turquoise mined in this county is found, and at Chloride it is covered by the Pinkham. Midnight and other mines of known copper value In IXL Basin there are six 150O foot
