 made a wise selection in the engage. ment of MT. Haggott.
 H. G. Schader is making map and plat of the Goldroad, Tom Reed and Silver Creek section of San Francisco mining district. A map of the dis trict is a necessity and we are sure that the maps will find a ready sale at good figures.
 w. D. Grannis and a mining man departed Thursday morning last to Cedar by way of the Big Sandy auto mobile. The gentlemen will look over mining property owned by Mir. Gran his and may conclude to put some men to work on development. The mines show good lead and copper ore in the work already done on the veins.
 Contract work is progressing on the Baden Baden mining claim, now under option to the Gold Eagle mining com pany. The Baden-Baden is one of the best looking properties on the east side of Mineral Park Basin, and has a large body of water that will make possible the concentration of the ore on the ground.
 The work on the big aerial tram way of the Needles Mining & Smelt- ing company from the Banner mine to the foot of Stockton Hill is almost complete and will probably go into commission the 20th of this month. Following the completion of the tram will be the building of the railroad from Berry to the foot of Stockton Hill. This line can be completed in ninety days should a good force of men be put on the grade. The dis tance from Berry to Stockton Hill station is eight miles The mines are said to be showing a fine grade of smelling and concentrating ore.
 Owing to the breaking of the con- pressor at the Ruth mill, necessitating the installation of another and larger compressor, the mill has been closed until the middle of the month. The small compressor is furnishing air for the machines used in the east drift and the work there is being pushed as fast as possible. Sixteen men are en- ployed at the mine and as soon as the big compressor is installed a much larger force will be put on. The man. agement of the property are jubilant over the success of the process for the recovery of the gold and silver in the ores and believe they have solved the problem of milling in that section.
 George Crerar, of Globe, who is as sociated with B. L. Smith, in the recent taking over of the Cyclopic mines, arrived in Kingman Thursday afternoon with his family. He will go to the Cyclopic at once and begin the remodeling of the milling plant, which will be put in shape to handle large tonnage of ore from the prop erty. The Cyclopic mine shows an immense tonnage of high grade mil ling ore near the surface ard this can be milled at a low cost. Messrs. Crerar and Smith will have personal charge of the property, and having large experience in mining and mill ing ought to make of it big success. The gentlemen have been with the Inspiration copper company some years, Mir. Smith as field man and Mir. Crerar in the engineering department.
 A. W. Bratland, general manager of the Hercules Mining company, pas sed through Kingman Thursday after noon on his way to Los Angeles. | where he will be joined by his wife and children and go on to San Fran cisco by water. Owing to the influx of water at the 200 level of the Spes Boni mine work has had to be dis | continued until sinking pump is put in. A big pump for that purpose has been ordered, but it will be a few weeks until it is available and during that time Mir. Bratland will visit | many of the coast watering places and take much needed rest. As soon as the new sinker is ready the work of sinking and further exploiting the mines will be carried on with a much larger sorce of miners. The mine is looking well, there being a large body of very rich milling ore now in sight. l
