 James Mulligan, owner of rich min- ing property in the vicinity of Cerbat and Todd Basin. came in from his camp last Thursday to close up a deal with Dr. Godshall for one of his prop critics.
 The mill of the Gold Road M. & E.. company is fast nearing completion and will be put to work crushing ore from the fifth level. The mine is now working very large force and pre- pairing to make record output.
 O. o. Hughes and M. M. Mahoney, of Indianapolis, Ind, arrived in King man Wednesday last from the mines of the Dixie Queen Mining company and departed Thursday on the delayed passenger train for the coast. They took back with them many pounds of samples from the mines, which they will distribute among their fellow shareholders. The gentlemen believe the property to be one of the best in the Weaver district. They were also impressed with the people of the coun- ty with whom they came in contact, being greatly surprised with the in- telligence and progressive spirit dis played everywhere.
 Dr. L. D. Godshall has just completed deal whereby he acquired the inter- ests of Peter Caffery and Smith & Saw yer in the Winchester Fraction and Jubilee mining claims, at Stockton Hill. He also takes over the Lake in- terest in the Tigress and some other fractional claims near the old Prince George. He has bond on other prop erty and as soon as this is taken over, he will have large acreage of excel. lent mining land in the best part of the Stockton Hill section.

This drift encoun- tered the vein at distance of about 125 feet from the portal. Only one round of holes were put in the vein, which exposed the ore in place. As says were taken from the ore body and gave good results in gold. Consider able broken vein matter was encoun. tered before the vein was struck, all carrying some values. It is thought that a vein ten or twelve feet wide and running above twenty dollars will be opened by this drift. The mine has the most promising showing of any property in the section of Weaver dis trict, in which it is situated.
 The shaft of the Carter mine has reached depth of 16O feet and is be- ing driven downward at the rate of three feet per day. Since the work of sinking was taken up at the depth of 90 feet every foot of vein matter pan. ned showed gold in pay quantities. It is understood that so far the entire vein shows values of about twenty dol lars to the ton in gold. At the depth of 200 feet drifting will be done on the vein and it is thought that the rich ore found above wiI6be cut, the ore body going out of the shaft on it's dip at depth of about forty feet.
