F. A. Wright, who recently took over the Elkhart mine, was out to the property the first of the week.
 The massive dynamo for the new unit of the Kingman power plant was received this week and is being un- loaded preparatory to installation. The generator has capacity of about 1900 horsepower and is to be used steadily in the generation of power at the plant, the other unit being used as emergency and auxiliary gener- ators. By this addition to the plant all necessary power can be supplied throughout the mining districts of the county.
 The Bellefower Mining company is working two men at the mines south of Kingman, and is making good head way in the shaft. Report has it that the shaft is now in good looking ground and ore is expected to be en- countered any day. The shaft is now close to the vein, having been sunk perpendicularly, while the vein has a heavy dip. The ore encountered in the vein is rich in gold and carries some values in lead and copper. H. M. Bowen has charge of the property and is the president of the company.
