Mines of the County

week or ten days on the mines ot Swope and Studley, in IXL Basin. The property has been examined and accepted by investors.
 L. E. Armil, a prospector, has discovered a splendid vein of gold bearing ore in the Boundary Cone section of San Francisco district. The ore shown by him was well sprinkled with gold and the values of the entire vein are said to run well up in the hundreds of dollars to the ton.
 Frank Lusk, a well known Spokane mining man, has been looking oyer the mines south of Kingman, this week, being interested in few properties. It is probable that he will make fur ther investment in the mines of that part of the county before returning to his Idaho home.
 Some Prescott people are now interested in a group of mines near the old Victor-Virgin property, where they are sinking a shaft and getting things in shape for an active season of mining. A new holster is expected in Kingman daily, and when it arrives it will be hauled to the mines and installed at once.
 J. M. Farley, who recently con- pleted the assessment work on the Roadside group of mines, at Union Pass, reports having found a nice body of rich gold ore on one of the prop critics. The mines are owned by the San Diego mining company, and it is probable that this corporation will do some development work to ascertain the extent of the new strike.
 Supervisor J. c. Potts this week visited his mines near Thumb Butte, over in Union Pass section. He re- ports that his partner, L. Kimberly, has found a very rich outcrop ou one of the veins of the group and is doing some work to show it up. The veins of the Atlantic and Pacific group of mines are among the most promising in the whole Union Pass section.
 W. A. Mcguire and Frank Mahoney went out to the Alpha to look that property over, last Tuesday, returning to Kingman the following day. MT. Mcguire is more and more of the opinion that the Alpha is to make one of the best producers in the district, and we believe that opinion is favored by all the miners that have worked in the property.
 Charles Grimes, president of the Tom Reed Gold mines company, passed through here Thursday last on his way to the mines. The mill of the con- pany is now operating full blast and doing splendid work. Everything is electrically operated, which makes wonderful saving over the old oil burning formerly used.
 Another gold strike is reported from the Vivian country this week, but we are unable to give the names of the lucky discoverers, or the exact locality. Our informant stated that the ore was very rich in free gold and it was said that the vein was large. Two strikes in one week in the same locality is rather good.
 The Needles Mining & Smelling company is getting things in shape at the big smelter at Needles for a pros porous seasons work. The smelter will be overhauled and greater ca- pacity added. The general report is that the plant will have its capacity increased to 1900 tons daily, and that the zinc cleaning and treating plant will be of large tonnage.
 J. c. Minge, who has been with s. c. Bagg, at the Cyclopic mine the bast several months, arrived in Kingman last Tuesday. He reports that owing to the cold weather in that part of the county the milling plant at the Cy- clopic was not operated for some time, but that it was now being put in con- mission and will soon be turning out bullion. The Cyclopic mine is looking fine, showing up splendid bodies of high grade gold ore.
 A twenty-six ton car of ore was the first of the week from the Bellefower mine, now being operated by H. M. Bowen and associates. The car went forward to Needles and Mir. Bowen went down Wednesday evening to look after its sampling. Before leaving tnMn Mr Bowen made the l
