mlne Is estimated JO nave DrOken ore in its stopes to the value of $l, ,5OO,O 900 besides the great bodies in sight in these same stopes. The broken ore will have to be milled to put in ship pablo shape, but the expense of mill ing is light. All the ores in the dump are nav being handled at a big profit, the average of the raw ore being abont 25 per cent zine. In the long drift now being driven from the Prosperity mine there is good showings of ore encountered, which will later become a nice milling prop osition. The mine is getting in shape to increase the output mater ially, both from the mill and the lower levels of the mine.
 O. D. NJ. Gaddis. J. H. Rosenberg, and Charles Metealfe paid a visit to the Gold Crown mines this week to look over the large development that has been made in the property the past six months. They were agree abily surprised with the great bodies of high grade milling ore exposed in the property by the Frisco Power and Mining company, and are of the opinion that the mine is one of the richest properties in the Territory. The new mill is fast assuming pro- portions, the water system has been completed and within a short time a steady output of bullion will be made This property has been under the management of E. H. Barton, and the work shows careful business judgment and systematic handling of all the details that go with the put ting of property on a proper min ing basis.
 O. B. Amsden. superintendent of the Gold Bug Mining company, was a Kingman visitor this week. It is understood that the company is soon to begin operations on the mines and that work will be continued until sufficient quantity of ore is blocked out to justify the erection of a large milling plant. MT. Amsden is one of the most practical of the mining operators of the county and does not believe in the expenditure of large sums of money for milling plants until he has several years of ore reserves in the mine. Teh Gold Bug at the present time has a large amount of ore in sight, but the fur ther development of the mine is nee essary to insure larger water sup ply and ascertain the character of the ore below water level.
 Carl B. Van Deman who has been in Los Angeles the past several weeks attending to business matters, returned to Kingman early this week. He and Clarence Camp have Incorporated the Ruth Mining com pany, with a capitalization of one million one dollar shares, for the pur- pose of taking over the Ruth and Rattan mines, in San Francisco dis trict. MT. Van Deman and asso- ciates have been working a force of men on the Ruth the past two months and are getting the shaft down to- ward the level from the old shaft A milling plant of fifty tons daily capacity has been ordered and will soon be on the ground. This plant guarantees that it will be fully adapt ed to the treatment of the Ruth ores The mine is looking fine and mas s large quantity of ore already blocked out. The mine and mill are to bC operated by electric power, the bis Kingman plant having a line tC that property now under eOnstruc tion.
 Work is progressing on the St Louis mine, at Cerbat, M. N. Honey well having a contract to connec the adit draft with the shaft. I is expected that a fine body of leat ore will be opened in the vein be low the present shaft level. T. R Garnier is looking after the worl for the company and getting con tracts going on the other holding of himself ad associates.
