 Activity Resume of Mining For Week in Mohave
 County

MINERAL PARK, Ariz., March 26.-Mineral Park, one of the oldest mining camps and second county seat of Mohave county, is active again af- ter years of practical desertion or all but its turquoise mines. At the Keystone, one of the largest of the old-time producers of gold and sil- yer, which is now under bond to a Los Angeles company, the new equipment consisting of a 100 horse power boiler, 50 horse power hoist, air compressors an delectric gener- ator, has all arrived and is being rushed into place. The main shaft has been retimbered throughout its 260 feet and a new gallows frame nearly completed. Work on water and oil tanks of 11,OOO gallon ca pacity each is also well under way. The Young Construction company of Los Angeles, which recently com pleted the Tom Reed mill in this county, has the contract for the cree tion of the machinery.
 The Keystone ledge, which occurs in a granite and porphyry, is from to 40 feet wide and outcrops for over 5000 feet. Its ores are the usual lead, zine, copper and iron sulphides of the Cerbat range, ana carry high values of gold and sil- yer in addition. There are about 1000 tons of ore on the dumps, av- eraging S14 per ton, and about 14,- 900 tons more in the stopes already broken, all of which represents ore thrown aside as worthless when the mine was being worked for gold and silver alone.
 There is still very rich ore being encountered in the mine, some of which, found recently, assayed as. high as 1,5OO ounces in silver, but IL is upon the large tonnages of the lower grade sulphides that a profit

 Final details of the sale of the Dandy mine in the Weaver district, by Bill Hall to J. P. Hutchinson of Chicago were closed several days ago. Hutchinson proposes to continue the present 23O foot shaft to a depth of 800 feet, and to begin at once the erection of a twenty stamp mill and cyanide plant. There are about 10000 tons of ore, averaging $15 per ton in free milling gold, blocked dht in the mine.
 Superintendent Dan S. Ricahrds has established camp, built wagon roads and started actual development at | the Fairview zine prospect, sold re- gently by Marshall and Graves to the | White company of Lima, Ohio. Two old tunnels are being extended and third one started, which will re- suit in a backing of about 400 feet.
