kingman, Ariz., Jan. 15-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)- As the result of d find made a few days ago by Link McKesson, "a new gold district has been opened on the east side of the main river range between Gold Road and Union Pass and about six miles east from the former. Although this section has al- ways been regarded by prospectors as good mineral ground. all the ac- tual prospecting done previously had been on the west side of the sum- init. where the largest mines have been developed until McKesson start ed systematic search several months ago. In an andesite formation near Iy identical with that of the Gold Road mine he found a dike of spar and quartz about thirty feet wide, which he started to crosscut at once. Nine samples taken a few days ago run from 8 to $31, with an, average of $11.50 for a width of six feet. Samples taken across three and. a half feet of the ledge assayed $20.
 The DeW SlF1ke Is eSDeC1dllNH lUl- portant because it is the first of it's kind on the cast side of the range for a distance of ten miles, every mine in the San Francisco district at the present time being on the west side. The east has every ad- vantage of accessibility to railroad and electric power. besides being better supplied with water. The McKesson prospect is unusually well equipped in this respect. and is only about two miles from the Gold Road power line and ten miles from the railroad. so that its development, which is already well under way. will be watched with considerable interest
 At a depth of ninety feet in a new shaft of the Sunnyside mine, sold by Paddy Mullen to A. c. Werden & O., of Denver. several months ago. two streaks of good ore. each about A foot wide. were cut yesterday. The foot wall of the ledge. which at this depth is four feet wide, assays $2175, and the hanging $50 per ton. The Sunnyside lies. near the Tom Reed and is generally believed to be an extension of the latter.
 . In the neighboring Carter mine. the contractors have reached the 250 foot level in the shaft and cross-cutting will be started at once. Fifteen feet is the distance estimated necessary to cut the ledge. A ten-inch quartz feeder encountered at 240 feet, which assayed s25.75 now. runs S50-75. More water is being encountered and suf ficient quantity for milling is as- sured. -- ie

 The new 100 foot drift in the Ruth mine continues to improve. The lat est samples across three feet of the face assay sS4.76 The shaft is mak- ing too much water to be handled with bucket andDsa pump is to be installed. Preparations are also be- ing made to startni the Rattan mill on the Colorado river. which is part of the Ruth propertyS

 The Golconda mine, which for sev- eraI weeks suspended shipping be- cause of impossible roads during | the late storms. has resumed it's out put at the rate of 1000 tons per month. santa Fe railroad engineers are making survey for the four mile spur to the Chloride road and 1 Manager Boyle believes it will be built at once His new air com pressors for the Prosperity tunnel are in, place and the 500 foot bore, which will eliminate most of the hoisting | on the Golconda. has been started with machine drills. {. Mir J. Churchill has been appoint ed superintendent of the Champion Twins, Big Bethel and Primrose mines. while the Prince George and Babner group of mines at Stockton Hin. several miles away. have been placed in charge of J. l.. Hoffman, former assistant mine superintendent at Kennel, California All of these properties are late purchases made by Manager l.. D. Godshall of the Needles Mining and Smelling Company, one of the United States Mining and SmeIting Company's auxiliaries. Sinking has already been begun on several of these mines. but for the present the building of roads is oc- cupying most attention.
