pie. He reports having experienced the hottest weather in his life while in the little city.
 George Von Steinberg and wife have gone to Los Angeles for a visit with friends and relatives. Mir. Steinberg and brother have contracts for large amount of work on the Bellehower mine, which work will be pressed to completion as soon as he returns.
 It is quite probable that the railroad from Berry to the tram landing at the foot of Stockton Hill will soon be un- der way. The necessary surveys have been made and engineers this week checked up the preliminary work and estimates have been made on the work.
 The mill of the Frisco Mines & Power company will not be operated until the ten stamps have been in- stalled, but work on the mines with full force of men is being carried on. The showing at the mines is said to be great and the tonnage in sight is now estimated at above the million mark.
 The crosscut from the l70 level of the Gold Cross mine, at Cedar, has entered the vein and some very rich ore found. Drifting on the vein is now under way and four miners are kept at work. It is expected that this num- bo, Ao TA drifts have been carried far enough to open stopes.
 Emerson Gee has a force of men at work on the McKesson mines and the First chance and Last Chance proper ties recently acquired from O. D. M. Gaddis, Harry Mehaffy, W. E. Frost, Walter Meyers and w. A. Mensch. It is the intention to drive a deep shaft and thoroughly exploit the mines at depth.
 Joseph Onetto. who has been super. intendent of the Gold Road mine for many years, was a Kingman visitor this week. Under Mir. Onetto's man. agement the mine has been developed from prospect to one of the greatest mines on the Pacific coast. It is quite probable that he will retain his posi- tion under the new management, as it would be impossible to find a better man for the position.
 Julian P. Jones, general manager of the Pacific Investments company, is Tn town and reports work progressing on the company's property, situated near Cerbat. The maIn shaft has reached depth of l50 feet and is showing a nice vein of lead ore. The shaft will be driven to the 39O level, from which depth drifts will be driven of on the vein. The property is one of the most promising in the Cerbat section.
 It is not improbable that big wa ter company will soon be formed for the purpose of furnishing an adequate water supply for the Tom Reed sec tion of San Francisco mining district. Just at present many of the small properties are suffering for lack of wa ter, while the Tom Reed has to hustle | to get an adequate supply. By pump ing from the bottom lands, near Spears Lake supply sufficient for the entire district could be had and many of the small claims could be operated.
 THE MINER was mistaken when it stated two weeks ago that the drift from the 70O-foot level of the Tennes- see had penetrated the vein. The vein has not yet been cut, but the pumps are working from that level. The drift from the 700 is still being continued toward the vein, as is also the drift from the 800 toward the vein of the Great Lead. When these two veins are reached at the respective levels it is expected that there will be some thing doing in the line of ore ship ments.
 Seven men are now at work on the Minnesota-Connor mines at Chloride, and this force is expected to be added to as fast as room is made. The Min nesota mine has had a checkered ca- reer at the hands of operators that would not know mine if they met it in the road, but it is understood that the present management is all that mine management should be and that the shaft will be sunk to a greater depth, instead of groping around in the old and worked out part of the mine in the hone of rnnninr nntn
