the State Department upon his return
from Annapolis today and arranged to
pay his respects to President Taft at the
White House tomorrow. He is well ac
quainted with the President, having been
associated with him at the time of the
organization of the provisional govern
menr of Cuba. He has accepted an invi
tation to make address at the meeting
Of the American Academy of Political and
Social Science at Philadelphia the 9TH of
this month.
Mr.. Zayas will interest himself in mat
tiers affecting his own country with
regard to the new tariff. He wants to
see reciprocity between the United States
and Cuba, and he says his country wants
an entirely new treaty.
When Mr. Zayas arrived in Washington
he was met by several members of the
Cuban legation and took lunch with the
Cuban minister and Nine. Quesada
He called on former Gov. Magoon yes
terday afternoon.
He has been Il prominent factor in
Cuban affairs. Before his election to his
present office he was senator from the

Another large consignment Of ma
chinery for the Colorado River Dredg-
ing company passed through Kingman
this week to Chloride. where it is be-
ing forwarded to the river. A large
force of men are at work on the big
scows and it will not be long until the
machinery will be put in them and the
plants put to work on the rich river
bars. The dredger is to be one of
largest ever built for river work anu
will be capable of handling about 1000
yards of gravel per day. All the mod
ern appliances will be Incorporated in
this plant.
J. H. Wood, who has been examin-
ing the old blackberry mines, has been
in Kingman this week looking into the
mining possibilities of the county. He
was accompanied to Kingman by W.
B. Ridenour, of blackberry, who is the
pioneer of mining in this part of the
territory, and one of the original own
ers of the blackberry mine. Mr..
Wood appears To be well satisfied with
the mining outlook of this section and
may conclude to invest.

out to the Klondike mines the next
day. The property is owned by him.
self and the Wharton estate. Work
has been done to the extent of sinking
a shaft on the property and driving a
cross country drift the past year,
which has developed the property to
considerable extent. The ore in the
outcrop of the vein was quite rich and
a large amount of it was shipped to
Kingman and sold to the smelters.
Mr.. Gracey returned from the mines
Thursday and departed to his home in
Eldorado Canyon.

There are twenty-five or thirty men
at work on the turquoise mines in ard
around Mineral Park. The companies
are not combining themselves entirely
TO the blue gem. but are looking for
anything in the line of semi-precious
stones. Some good quality malachite
has been found in the copper veins on
the outskirts of the turquoise zone and
this is bringing from one dollar to five
dollars per pound. This stone having
found a market is causing some pros
pecting throughout the hills of the
Park section for greater quantity of
the ore.

a carload of the richest ore ever
sacked up in the Mineral Park basin
is now on the dump of the Home Pas
time mine awaiting shipment to the
smelter. This ore is literally laced to-
gether with silver wires, while the
surface of the ore is incrusted with
scales of the pure white metal. 1t is
claimed that the Slopes of the mine
show a great tonnage of the same
class of ore and that every day but
adds to the richness of the property.
Blocks of ore weighing six and eight
hundred pounds are lifted from the
drift at the lbs foot level, that are
masses of silver. 1t would now be the
right thing to get one of these blocks
of ore and keep it for exhibition at the
Yukon exposition at Seattle.
