 James Poison came in from his mines above Round Valley, last Thurs day afternoon. He crossed Wallapai mountains and reports that on the north sile of the high range consider able snow is lying. His mines are showing up nice ore bodies and it Is his intention of returning to further exploit them next week.
 T. J. Grant. superintendent of the Nevada-Arizona Mines company, was in from the company's property at Mu- sic mountain this week. He reports that the shaft on the Ellen Jane mine is being timbered up and that the work of sinking below the 200 level will soon be commenced. Caves in the bottom of this shaft have shown up splendid ore from an adjoining vein.
 s. c. Bagg is in from the Cyclopic mines settling up tax matters. He has been working the Cyclopic mine and has opened up big body of ore, through which stopes are now being opened up. The mill and cyanide plant have been operated the past two months, the saving running from l2S to 1SS to the ten. The vein is about six feet wide, the ore being easily ex- tracted.
 Joe Kelsey, who is looking after mining matters for an association of San Diego mining men, is in Kingman from lhe Cruz mine, near Cedar. He has had a force of men at work on the property the past month and is to COL tinue work during the winter. The Cruz is one of the richest of the gold mines of Cedar and the expectation of the promoters is that it will prove a great producer of the yellow metal this year.
 Anson H. Smith, who recently visit e the molybdenite mine, near Cedar, in which he is interested, brought to Kingman some of the handsOmest specimens of molybdenite ores ever seen in the territory. Some of the specimens shows massive layers of the mineral, while others show in cOmbin- ation with copper Recent work has opened up the veins Tn good shape, many tons of rich ore having gone in to the dumps.
 Granville Thompson is reported to have struck one of the finest bodies ot ore ever uncovered in the San Francis co district. The strike was made in one of his claims, about nine miles east of old Haruyville. These proper ties were located several years ago and when first taken up good ore was taken from them and shipped to the smelters. Since that time only the assessment work has been done on the mines. About two months ago Mr. Thompson resuu ed work on the mines and now is rewarded by opening up a body of ore that shows heavy coarse gold all through it.
 Arthur Mcguire, chief engineer of the Los Vegas and Tonopah railroad, was in Kingman several days this week. Mir. Mcguire is interested in the Mcguire mines, south of Kingman, and visited the properties while here. IJ |, ,.,l way in which the company is operating the mines and the solidity of the new ten stamp mill. He informed Us that there Is nothing in the story of the Clark road building across the Colo rado river to get in connection with the Jerome mines. No surveys have been made either from Lund or Moapa, nor are any intended.
 Every team in Yucca and many from Kingman were brought into service on the 3lst of the year by people in a rush to the McCracken country and toward Cedar, where they had mining claims spotted and which they located. It is the belief in and around Yucca that this year will bring a boom to the sec tion east and south of that place and that the influx of people will make it possible to work much lower grade of ore than formerly, as mills are sure to go in and ore haulage will be cut down. The country is one vast belt of mineral, practically all ores known to science being in the mines. Many veins are large and well defined and can be traced on the surface several tpA,-o oo,r,-
