 andC. J. Lantry returned from tn,
 Stockton Hill section last Monday anC
 went down to Needles, where they
 conferred with Dr. l.. D. Godshall or
 business connected with the resump
 tion of work on the mines of tho
 Stockton Hill Mining Company ana
 the Banner group. Mir. Swart is ex
 peeted from Needles today and will
 go out to Cerbat, Chloride and other
 places in Wallapai district, where he
 will make general examination of
 the possible ore production. He is an
 authority on lead and iznc ores and
 stands at the head of the engineering
 profession. MT. Lantry has gone east
 to look after important business, but
 will return soon to begin work on ex-
 plotting on the Cupel mine.
 At the Goleonds every days work further SHOWS up the wonderful bodies of zine ore contained in that property. The ore body is gradually expanding until it looks as though the drifts would not expose the full width. In the lowest working the vein shows three feet of solid zine ore.
 S. R. Porter, general manager of the Red Gap mines, is in Kingman. This week the mines were visited by Messrs. Fellows, White and Richards. wno may become interested. The mine is said to be showing up wonderful values in the new shaft now being sunk on the property.
 Messrs. White, Richards and Eel lows, accompanied by County Treasur- CT Withers, were at the Tyro mines last Sunday, returning to Kingman Monday evening. It is quite within the possibilities that the first named three gentlemen will take over the Tyro and develop it to at least 800 feet in depth. The mine is one of the larg- est and strongest leads in the Union i Pass section, and it has the values.
 O. D. NJ. Gaddis went out to the Last Chance and First Chance mines | yesterday and made an examination of l the work being done. He reports that the drift on the vein from the lower level is no win about twenty feet, where the vein shows two feet of solid ore. This ore gives good milling val 1es in gold and carries high percent age of lead. The other owners in the are hard at work driving the drift ahead and expect to open up a great ore body.
 c. J. Hutchison is building up a great group of mines around the Ex- oansion property, near Union Pass, having just located additional veins of ore, from which milling values have been obtained. It is the intention of he company to continue active devel- ,pment of the big vein of the group md at the same time begin the work ,f assembling'a a large milling plant at he mine. Considerable water mas been developed at the property and t is believed that more can be had n the vicinity.
 Arthur Mcguire, who passed east on his mornings train, reports that the | Arizona Gold Mines Company this week made full payment of the pur- .hase price of the Mcguire mines, which is said to have been $75,OO0. This is one indication of the great aith the present company has in the 3i-Metal mines.
 Superintendent O. B. Amsden and on, Dan, were Kingman visitors from he Gold Bug mine this week. fhe told Bug company is at present traightening up and retimbering the main shaft on the property from the 100 to the 200 level and as soon as his work is completed sinking will be omenced Explorations on the levels as disclosed some good bodies of rich ,old ore.
