values in god.
The Tom Reed Mines Company has
quite large amount of new machin-
cry at Kingman depot that is to be
hauled to the mines by the big teams
of Lovin Il Withers Co.
The deeper workings on the Col
conda mines is proving the property
up as one of the richest zinc mines in
the west. The ore body is improving
with every foot of d spJn and in the
big tunnel the ore is of a high ship
ping grade.
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Best came in
from their old home in Missouri Tues

). Stores company for use at the mines
of the Needles Mining & Smelling
comp any and the Gold Road Mines
company. The company is also in re-
ceIpt of considerable ten and twelve

\ report was received in Kingman
Tuesday last that big strike of rich
ore had been made in the drift on the
$50 level of the Orc Plata mine. The
vein at this point has been showing
great improvement and some good ore
has been opened, but it is understood
that the late strike is something far
ahead of any ore ever found in the
property.
NJ. A. Burke, of Stockton Hill, has
invented a process for making imper-
vious to water primers for use in wet
mines. His tests of the process have
been severe and there was not single
failure to explode the charge. The
method is so simple and easy that it
will undoubtedly go into general use.
Mr.. Burke is a well known mine black
smith and has followed the occupation
of mining nearly forty years.
N. NJ. Richardson, who is at the
head of the corporation that is to
operate the London mine, in the Union
Pass section, is preparing to install a
new holster on the mine and work a
good force of men. The main shaft on
the property is to be sunk some deep
er and the vein opened by drifts and
crosscuts. This property has been
opened to some extent 10y the Richard
sons and has a splendid showing of
high grade ore.
Robert Gray, in whose Glittering
Star mine big strike of ore was re-
Gently made, is having work done by
his brother Thomas Gray on the prop
erty and a large dump of ore is now
showing at the adit. The ore is said
to be of good milling and shipahle val
ues and the vein is of size to make it
one of the most remarkable of the
Stockton Hill mining properties. The
drift is to be continued on the vein for
some time and il is probable that ship
ment will soon be made TO the smelter.
The mining claim is situated in one OF
the best mineralized sections of the
camp and has every indication of being
a great property.
1t is reported that the Malm process
is being tried on the ores of the Elk
hart mines, at Chloride, but what sue
cess was met with has not been given
out. The Elkhart has large bodies of
ore carrying iron, zinc, lead, gold and
silver, but the values in these big
bodies have so far been found too low
to work by the processes used in the
big mill under the old regime.
Should the new process or any of the
new processes now in use in some Of
the older camps be found successful in
the treatment of these ores it will be
of great commercial benefit not only
