 where they were to make an examina- ton of the Cyclopic mine. Mir. Bagg intends to do some work at the prop erty and it is possible that he will again operate the cyanide plant on the ores already on the dumps.
 J. A. Carrow and Phil Smith depart ed to the Big Sandy country this week and intend to prospect for a vein that was found by Mir. Carrow some years ago, Tn the Eagle Wash section. Mir. Carrow believes that when he has re- discovered the vein it will be found to carry good values in gold, although the ore was heavy sulphide on the outcrop. It is in the gold bearing belt of the Wallapai mountains.
 The mill of the Frisco Mines x Power company is running smoothly and do- ing excellent work. The cyanide plant is in commission and is reported to be doing exceptionally good work. A set of rolls has been placed between the gyratory crusher and the Harding mill, which greatly relieves the mill of the hard work heretofore imposed on it. The mine is capable of supplying this class of mill with ore for years to come.
 The Ruth last week shipped its fifth bar of bullion, rather good record for mine that has had its milling equipment in running order less than five weeks. The recovery of the val ues from the ores Is said to be phe- nominal. At the mine the work of development is keeping we'll ahead of the stoping and thousands of tons of ore are now opened up. The shaft is going down rapidly and is opening up the new ground below the 100 level.
 The big teams of the Lovin & With CTS Company are hauling ore to the amount of about sixty tons daily from the Banner mines to Berry station, six miles north of Kingman. These ores are being shipped to Needles, where they will be treated in the biz shelter The ores are sent to the foot of the hill over the tramway, a great saving over the old method of haulage from the mines. The tram is capable of handling 300 tons of ore daily, with ont crowding.
 c. H. Burlock came in from San Diego few days ago. bringing with him well known Goldield engineer. The party went out to the Mossback mine, where they made an examination of that well known property. It is ex- pected that work will soon be started up on the mine and that heavy ma chinery will be put in to handle the water that the mine has been making in the lower workings. The Mossback vein Is one of the largest in the Silver Creek section and carries very good milling values.
 The mines of the Bill Williams Fork are coming into prominence with the advent of the railroad to Swansea, and the owners are getting patent to them as fast as possible. Many of the lodes close to the creek are copper and gold bearing and are sure to be much sought after in the near future by the big fellows. Many of the veins are in lime and show splendid copper values, but the devel- opment is limited. With the bringing in of water 10 the dry camps it is pos sible that much development of the mine will result.
 G. $. Atlee, general manager of the l. X. l.. mine, in the Stockton Hill sec tion, was in Kingman this week. He reports that the drift now being run from the lower level is in good ship ping ore and that much milling ore has been opened up. The mine is one of the old properties worked years ago, and from which thousands of dollars Tn rich ore was taken. In these old days the ore extracted from the grass roots ran lOOOS up in silver, much of it being milled at Mineral Park, where the miner received but 80 per cent of the value contained in the ore and had to pay 5OS per ton for working, besides many deductions for bullion tax and discounts. Ore running l0OOS per ton would net the miner less than COOS when the ''over-burden" was removed. The large volume of water encountered in the mine discouraged the owners and they did not sink below the water level. The present management has placed a
