 mine, which passed into the control of Mir. Murpny after years of idle ness due to litigation. The property has record of paying dividends in the amount of over a quarter of a million dollars out of a production of sl 100000.
 "Near the famous Crown King is the Lincoln group, recently taken over by the Kniekerboeker Mining com pany, financed by Goldfeld, Nevada, interests. Under the management of B. P. Miller body of rich ore was tapped recently in virgin ground which is being blocked for stoping. The company intends to start the fifteen stamp mill at an early date.
