 of the London mine, in the Union Pass section. was a Kingman visitor this week. Work on the property is progressing and good ore is showing in the shaft now being sunk.
 F.P. Andreas and W. H. DeLong and wife, of Eagle camp, were in King man this week. Little work has been done on these mines the past year, but it is understood that as soon as the litigation now pending is settled the company is to do a large amount of development.
 J. H. Hoffman, of Pueblo, accom- panied by Wm. Karl, of Enterprise, Kansas, visited the mines of the South western Copper company this week. The mines are now being developed with a good force of men and it k expected to have these properties on producing basis within the year. The properties are situated in one of the best copper belts of the county.
 wing to quarantine of the prem ises of Newton Evans, in Los Angeles, the matters connected with the min ing deal on the McCracken mine has been delayed somewhat, although the projectors of the big consolidation re- port that everything has been ar ranged to carry the matter to a suc- cessful issue The mines that are to go in the deal are among the largest and best properties in the territory.
 Mai w. A. Mensch came in from the Enterprise mines a few days ago to look after business affairs in King man. It is understood that when work is resumed on the Enterprise proper ties the main shaft will be continued several hundred feet below the present level and the mine opened in thorough manner to the lowest level. Indica- tions are that the pre ent worx is just tapping big copper deposit.
 M. NJ. O'Gorman, one of the best known mining men of the southwest, died at hospital in Pasadena a few days ago. Mir. O'Gorman was well known to many of the old timers of this section, having been a mining associate of Richard and John Gird in the early days in the territory and having been with them in the early | eighties in Tombstone. Mir. O'Gorman was one of the original owners of the old Cananea copper property and with William Greene first brought it to the attention of mining men.
 Otto Suessman and W. Gardner, of Salt Lake city, are at the Golconda mine, where they are making an examination of the property. Mr SueSsman is general agent of the American Metals company, buyers of zinc and other ores. Mir. Suessman at one time had bond on the Tennessee mine, at Chloride. but for some reason relinquished it. Now, it is understood, he is making an effort to again get a foothold in the county and is looking over the big things of the district.
 Carter and Zuver, having a lease on the percolating waters from the dumps of the Goldroad mill, are taking con- siderable bullion monthly. The water is lower grade than that formerly ob- tained from the tailings, but the great CT volume and ability to make a close saving gives the boys an exceptionally good thing. The waters are pumped from a stump hole below the tailings into tank, where they are sweetened with lime and more cyanide solution introduced. The waters are then run through an old filter press and through zinc shavings, where practically all the values are extracted.
 P. H. Mclaughlin took out quite a number of Indians to the c. O. D. mine this week, where they were put to work on the road. It was expected that the old road would be passable | for light wagons last night and that by the early part of next week the road would be in condition for heavy hauling. If plans do not miscarry | work on a new shaft on this property | will be under way within a month. The old shaft is in bad shape and the new shaft is a necessity. By sinking a straight shaft the vein can be cut below the old level within 400 feet, | and from that point the ore bodies in the upper levels can be easily reached. By the drainage of the mine and al- lowing it to dry out little timbering will be required in the old levels and l
