 G. F. Mcknight, of Searchlight. is again visiting in Kingman, his recent visit having impressed him with the importance of this country as mining section of the territory.
 Holders of stock in the Tom Reed mine are today receiving their month ly dividend. The company is now one of the most prosperous gold mining corporations in the territory and will soon be paying a monthly dividend of ten per cent on its capitalization.
 George Bell, President of the Ari- zona Turquoise company, and one of the shareholders in the 1. X. L. mine, at Stockton Hill, arrived in Kingman Thursday evening last from New York. Mir. Bell will look over the mines con- trolled by his company and will map out some important new work.
 H. NJ. Bowen came in from Los An geles Wednesday last. having looked after important mining business in the city. He reports that contract has been let for future work on the Belle flower mine and that this work will be pushed as fast as possible. The mine is looking good and Mir.

 The Cleopatra-Arizona mining con- pany, with a capitalization of ,, 1000, ,O00S, has been organized to operate the Cleopatra mines, in the south part of this county. These properties were recently optioned from the owners and payment on the purchase price was made short time ago. It appears to be the intention of the company to open the mines by drilling and drifts and shafts and ascertain the magnitude of the ore bodies. The property looks good and there is little doubt of open ing up wonderful bodies of good grade copper-gold ore. As these mining claims are developed other ground in the neighborhood will be worked and a district with wonderful possibilities will be opened up.
 It looks good to see the many ore teams now coming into Kingman with their great loads of rich ore to be shipped to the shelter at Needles. Ten teams are now on the road and more are to be put on as soon as they arrive from other parts of the country. A number of teams are also hauling to the railroad at Cerbat station from the Champion mine. It is expected to bring the total tonnage from the two properties up to 100 tons daily. The large tonnage that will soon be going out from the Tennessee mine, at Chloride, to the shelter will neces- sitate the building of the branch line of road from the main line to that property. Throughout the workings of the properties of the Needles Min ing & Smelling company everything is on the rush and ore is being sent to the surface from every opening.
 James F. Parks, a we'll known San Francisco mining engineer, has just completed the sampling of the Bi- Metal mines, three miles south of Kingman, for interests of large min ing concern. While nothing is known of the results obtained from the samp- ling of this property, it is understood that if the returns justify that a great plant will be erected on the mines and the property worked to considerable depth with steam shovels. The mine, in the opinion of Mir. Parks, appears to have the ore bodies and all that is required is that the ore run above three dollars to the ton. The corpora tion back of the enterprise is said to be financially able to carry through a great undertaking of this kind and that the equipment can be placed on the ground within a short time. The mine is reputed to have uncovered ore bearing ground 800 feet in length on the vein and 700 feet wide. The mill run of 100 tons gave a result close to five dollars per ton, and this was not selected ore, but the general mine run. When being examined by the Ham- mond interests more than a year ago. it is said that the results obtained from the mill runs was in excess of seven -dnlln rr tn inc ion With Q hi rn;ll;-.-
