 Charles J. Lantry, of the Stockton Hill Mining company, passed through Kingman Sunday last on his way to San Francisco, where he expected to close up the deal for the transfer of the Cupel and de la Fountaine mines to the U. s. Refining, Mining & Smelt- ing company. The de la Fountaine and Cupel are among the best of the mines of the Stockton Hill section, the Cupel alone producing more than all the other mines of that section and the depth of the shafts being yet but superficial.
 Everything in and around the Ten nessee mine is being put in shape to begin the extraction of ores. The old workings are to be cleared of debris and the stopes opened up. By the time the Needles Mining and Smelling Company has its big cleaning plant ready this mine will be able to for ward several thousand tons of mixed ore monthly. The ore will carry gCod values in zinc and small values in lead. h the lower workings of the property there is said to be an immense tor- mage of this class of ore, while in the mill dumps there is about 10000 tor of zinc ore, averaging about 12 per cent.

Only a small amount of water has so far been encountered, but the management expects to reach wa ter near the 600 level, to which point the shaft is soon to be sunk.

One of the larg- est stopes is ten feet wide of solid zinc ore. while the other stones ranUe from
