(Mohave County Miner.)

John Lind of Duluth, Minn., came in from the Hercules mines, near Gold Road, last Monday evening, and de- parted to Los Angeles, where they spent a day or two and then went to the Grand Canyon. Governor Lind was joined by his wife and other members of his party at Los Angeles. The gentlemen were very favorably Impressed with the mines in and around Gold Road and believed that their production of gold was in its infancy. MT. Hovaland is interested with Hoval A. Smith and others in the Calumet & Arizona mines at Bisbee. It is quite probable that the two gentlemen will become heav- fly interested in the mines of this county and that this will not be their last visit to this section.
 Dr. L. D. Godshall, general man ager of the Needles Mining and Smelling company, accompanied by A P. Anderson, field expert, and a number of other representatives of the United States Mining and Re lining company, passed through King man last Monday on their way to the mines. They spent several days at the properties, inspecting the con- ditions of the work and mapping our new work. It is thought that some of the mines will soon be producing largely, the product going to the big smelting plant at Needles. The com pany mas been spending a vast amount of money on this plant and is get ting it in shape to handle all the ores offered.
 At the Cyclopie mine the shaft has reached perpendicular depth of 100 feet, and from the bottom drifts are now being run off to cut two veins, between which this shaft was sunk. If the veins are found in place the work of sinking will be resumed ana the shaft carried to a depth of 500 feet. The showing on the surface of the Cyclopie mines is immense and a high grade of milling ore has been encountered. The property is situ- ated in the Gold Basin district, some distance east of White Hills. s. c. Bagg and Robert Jacobson have worked the property the past two years, paying all expenses of devel- opment from the ores taken from these developments. The mines are now under bond to Denver people, the deal having been promoted by A. M McDuffee.
 Last Tuesday, James Quinn brought in a bar of gold bullion from the Gold Road mill, that weighed 1291a pounds, and valued at $1s,00O, the re- suit of six days run of the mill. The company continues to send out its regular weekly bar of the yellow metal. and it IS claimed that there is now enough ore in sight in the mine to continue the shipments the next five years The new plant will soon be in operation, which will give the mill nearly 100 tons more capacity daily and at the same time all the ores will be slimed and filtered, in stead of teaching the sands in tanks az heretofore.
 Al. GosneIl this week took a wagon load of supplies from Kingman to the Secret Pass section, where Colo rado people are sampling mining prop erty owned by Holmes and Warner MT. Gosnen states that he saw a horning from one of the claims that gave big results in gold. It is through this pass that it is proposed to build a wagon road to the Ruth and other mining claims in the Silver Creek section. Only a small amount of work would be required to make the road from Kingman to the moutl of Secret Pass fit for travel, but through the pass a road would have to be built up at a considerable ex pense. But were the road to b' built it would at once come into general use by the people living tt the northwest of Gold Road.
 P. H. Mclaughlin, general man ager of the c. O. D. Mining com pany, was in Kingman a few day this week on business. He report that the work of sinking the mail shaft on the mine below the 300 foo level is well under way and that tn old works will be tapped and the min unwatered as soon as possible. u .tbe old works there are thousands O
