 erty and as soon as this is accomplish ed the work of opening the mine at depth will be commenced. It is said that the mine shows a good body of milling ore and that there are many small streaks through the mass that are exceptionally rich. The company is well able financially to carry on it's undertakings.
 The wagon road into IXL Basin, un- der construction by the Arizona Tur- quoise company, will be completed by the first of the month. When this road is ready for use machinery will be hauled in and the work of opening up the old IXL mine will be con- menced. The property is a good one and the people back of the project have the means to carry out the work of developing the mine to a producing stage.
 Charles Hanson and son, who have been working on their mining claim in Minnesota district, have opened up one of the richest bodies of ore ever found in that section of country. Some of the ore will run as high as 20,0OOS to the ton. while much of it will run into the hundreds of dollars. The property is owned by Hanson and son and James Burrows. This property is one of the first discoveries in Mime sota district and the surface ores pro- duced some very rich ore.
 Last Sunday the Gold Road NJ. SS E. company shipped to Kingman the first bar of bullion made since the new management took charge of the prop erty. This bar weighed 23,O0OS and was a handsome chunk of gold. Here tOfore the company has been shipping its auro-cyanides to the shelter and getting good results. It is now under stood that hereafter the precipitates will be reduced to bullion at the mill and the bars shipped direct to the mint.
 Two big bars of bullion were brought in from the Tom Reed Mill last Saturday evening by Burt Lunce- ford. The bars weighed about 4O,OOOS and were the handsomest ever shipped from the property. They were made from cleanup of the plates, the auro- cyanides not having been melted down at the time to enable shipment to be made Saturday. The mine is said to be producing a much higher grade of ore than at any time in its history and the mill is handling a large tonnage.
 A. H. Smith came in from Los An geles Thursday last and departed yes terday morning to the old Mexican mine, in Todd Basin, where he is get ting in new machinery. A fine hois. ter Is being hauled out to the property and will soon be in commission. A shaft will be sunk on the ore body in the mine to a depth of several hun dred feet. At the point where the shaft will be sunk a fine body of rich ore was found many years ago.
 Report from the Tub mine has it that forty feet of heavily mineralized ore has been opened up on the deepest level. This ore is complex, carrying values in gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc. Some of the ore is clear zinc and easily assorted by hand into the proper grade for shipping. while the greater part of the massive vein will | furnish milling ore. With a mill on this property capable of handling ] thousand tons of ore daily it would | soon be one of the biggest payers in | this part of the territory.
 Fred F. Brawn has just returned to Kingman after a tour through Walla- pal and Indian Secret mining districts. | He reports that there is a great deal | of mining activity throughout the dis trict and that much work of a perma- nent nature was being carried on. At the Golconda and Tub mines a large force of men was at work and a big tonnage of ore was being turned out. At Mineral Park the Keystone was the center of attraction, although many | other properties were being operated. Chloride was becoming lively. the Tennessee employing quite a lumber of men at its new shaft. Splendid ma chinery was installed at this shaft and the work of getting below the old works of the mine was we'll under way. Two big tunnels are beinUI
