CHANGES ANNOUNCED
 AT MoHAVE MINES

KINGMAN. Ariz., Dec 2S.-On the first of the year changes will be made in two of the most important mining companies in the county, the Gold Road Mining and Exploration company and the Needles Mining and Smelling company. In the Gold Road, Manager J. H. Phillips, re- signed, will be replaced by an en- gineer named McCaskill, long iden- tified with the Mccormick interests in Utah. While no announcement has been made regarding the sue eessor of Dr. L. D. Godshall, who made known his resignation several weeks ago, it is generally under stood that Assistant Manager D. R. Muir is the man who will direct the affairs of the Needles company. Muir has been in the service of the company's parent organization, the United States Smelling, Refining and Mining company, a long time, and came nere from Kennel, Cal, where he was in charge of the Mammoth mine. There is no reason to be- lieve that the present policies of either of these homogeneous will be changed in any wise. The Gold Road mine was visited several days ago by President Bayle and number of French stockholders, including Jules Hunebelle of Paris, and Herbert Latham, the aviator. The mill, with capacity of 25O tons per day, is now producing about $65,OOO per month.
 John Livezey, a former Leadville operator, made a first payment on the Goodrich Gardner mine, near the Tom Reed. A contract for a shaft has been let, and development will be pushed as rapidly as possible With Livezey are associated Shaw and Newell, also former Leadville men, and Col. L. P Hanson of Pasa- dena, Cal. Hanson is the organizer of the present Tom Reed company, and is one of its biggest stockhold- CTS. To him, perhaps more than any other man, is due the great showing of the Tom Reed, and his second ad- vent into the district is the cause of much satisfaction and confidence
 At the Ruth mine timbering of the new shaft has been completed and contract let for the sinking of another 16O feet, which will bring the bottom to the level of the old shaft. The new shaft, now down 50 feet, is all in ore, the vein being six feet wide and the values better than ever. A shoot of ore. averaging a little over $30 per ton. is now proved to be at least 400 feet long. Pre- liminary work in the erection of the 90 ton mill and cyanide plant is well under way, and the date of completion should easily fall within that required by the contract, March 1st.
 A. w. Brattlund, manager of the Hercules mine. left for San Fran cisco for a conference with Califor- nit stockholders. Ex-Governor John Lind of Minnesota, who is largely i'm terested in the Hercules, visited the property and was favorably impress ed. Electric power has just been in stalled and development is progress ing steadily.
 !. M. Vassar. superintendent of the Boundary Cone mine. which is owned by Eagle Rock and Prescott men. re- ports cutting a good body of high grade milling ore in the west drift of the 200 foot level.
