opment the past several years and has a fine showing of rich lead ore in sight on his property.
 T. K. O'Brien has taken a lease on the Bunker Hill mines. owned by John Mulligan, near Cerbat, and is said to be getting some fine ore. The vein shows gold and copper in the outcrop, and the ore shipped from the mine gave good returns in these metals.
 James Poison, who owns group of mines near Wheeler Wash, on the northeast side of the Wallapais, is in Kingman, having to abandon his camp on account of lack of water. As soon as the summer rains come he will re- turn to the mines and prosecute work the balance of the year.
 Judge w, G. Blakely, w. D. Gran his, J. D. Jordan and w. G. Carleton returned yesterday from Chemehuevis mountains, where they looked at min ing property owned by Messrs. Blake ly and Carleton. A number of sam pies were taken and it is probable that something will be done with the mines
 Sinking is in progress on the Col c ,nda mine, the good ore still showing in the bottom of the shaft. There are now seventy-four men-at work on the mine, which makes quite large pay roll. Every man in the mine is work ing on ore, large part of the output coming from the drifts and shafts. All the headings show big faces of ore.
 The Treasure Key mines are said to be showing up some splendid ore be. low the POO foot level. Some of the ore is said to run as high as 2.00O$ to the ton in gold, while the entire vein at that point runs over 200S. Work is progressing rapidly on development and it will be but short time until it will be ready to make heavy output.
 Henry E. Lang returned few days ago from the Goldroad and Tom Reed camps, in San Francisco district. He reports that all the mines in that sec tion are working large forces of men and getting big results. From his ob- servation it is probable that before fall the Goldroad and Tom Reed mines will be outputting in the neighborhood of lOO,OOOS each per month,
 w. L. Masters and Jones Brothers have just made shipment of ninety sacks of splendid silver ore from the Treasure Hill mines to the Fl Paso shelter. The ore was taken from the number two vein at a depth of 130 feet. There is good showing of ore in the floor of the level and it is under. stood that sinking will be commenced sometime this fall to get another back of ore.

 J. D. Leedy and J. L. Pierce, of Salt Lake City, were in Kingman few days ago, having returned from trip of inspection to the Rattan mines, where they made an inspection of the property. The shaft of the Ruth property is down about ninety feet and is in good ore. At depth of about seventy feet water was encountered in this shaft and at this point the ore shows an inclination to change to sul- phide, although the values still remain and the gold can be horned out quite free. The Ruth is one of the Rattan group and was not considered worth looking after until some prospecting was done few years ago and nice vein of ore found on the ground. The parties believing the ground open made location and sunk tot depth of about thirty feet, when the owners
