 The drift from the bottom of the
 Tennessee shaft has not yet reached
 the ore body under the old shoot, but
 it is expected that a week or more
 will complete the work. So far some
 nice ore has been opened in the drift,
 but it is expected that a great body
 will be encountered on this level.
 Raymond M. Strassell and R. C.
 Jacobson have opened an assaying and
 engineering office in the rooms for
 merly occupied by Muter & Teale, in
 the Luthy block. The gentlemen have
 had a large amount of experience in the work and are commended to the
 public.
 Joseph Krouss is sinking on his big
 mining property below Vivian, where he is getting the best of results. Min ing men that have looked the property over say that it has the ear marks of one of the biggest propositions in that country. The veins are large and carry high milling values.
 O. B. Amsden, general manager of the Gold Bug Mining company, is in town from the mines. It is the inten- tiOn of the company to soon resume work on the mines and sink to point below the water level to insure an ad- equate supply for milling purposes. The mine has large amount of mill ing ore blocked out.
 Ed. Williams was called to Los An geles Thursday evening for the pur- pose of closing up the deal for the sale of his tungsten properties to people represented by s. W. Mudd and H. w. Squlres. The examination of the prop erty has already been made and the people are well pleased with it. It is understood that a payment will be made and that large amount of work on the mines has been mapped out.
 William McGee, who for years re- sided on the Big Sandy in this county. is said to have discover d rich placers south of Needles, opposite the old Chemehuevis valley placers. A num- Der of ounces of gold was taken from the deposit in one day by McGee and companions. Many years ago placers were discovered on the west side of the Colorado river, opposite the old Han nigan diggings, but they have been lost for years, although diligent search has been made by prospectors.
 The three compartment shaft on the | mine, at Silver Creek, has reached a depth of nearly one hundred | feet and will be rushed to the three | hundred as rapidly as possible. The enlarging and timbering of the old | shaft was begun about thirty days ago, which shows that the management has lost no time in the work. It is said | that the ore showing in the big shaft | continues to improve with increasing depth and the management of the prop erty is much pleased with results al- ready obtained.
 Tom McGraw, superintendent of the Alpha mine, was in Kingman last He reports that the main tunnel is in well mineralized ground. | the breast showing some copper and good deal of lead and zinc. The drift will be -Griven ahead as fast as possible with the intention of getting under the old ore body, whence a raise will | be made to the surface. A hoisting plant will probably be put on the sur lace and sinking a shaft below the wa ter level commenced.
 Yesterday the third bar of bullion, the result of five days run of the mill of the Ruth, was shipped to the mint. The bar weighed 40S ounces. and valued at about GOODS The mill is about 40 tons of ore daily and saving above n'nty-five per cent of the 7alue. At the mine the work of drift ing east from No. shaft is being car ried on rapidly through an immense body of high grade milling ore. The on the shaft are getting town rapidly and the second lift will soon be opened up. The property shows to better and better advantage Is the work progresses. The mine md mill are under the able manage nent of Emerson Gee.
