 Charles J. Hutchison, general man. ager of the Expansion Gold Mines company, was in Kingman yesterday. He believes the Union Pass section one of the greatest gold bearing part of Arizona. For the past three years he has been developing one of the largest veins in that part of the county.
 The Young Construction company, installing the big mill at the mines, is getting things well under way. Much machinery is arriving for the mill and is being hauled out every day. At the mine everything is running smoothly and each days work proves the prop erty little better than the day be- fore.
 Work on the recent big strike in the George Washington mine, at Mineral Park. is being carried on with great dispatch. The ore body is being op- ened through the crosscut and is said to be as good as indicated when first encountered. With both veins ship ping ore to the shelter the property ought soon to be on pay basis.
 B. c. Taylor, who has been doing as- sessment work on the Lone Star, is said to have struck body of very rich ore. The Lone Star was among the big shippers of Mineral Park during the early days of that camp. It is now owned by O. D. NJ. Gaddis, Judge w. G. Blakely and Dr. I. D. Hamilton.
 G. D. Atlee, general manager of the IXL mine, was a Kingman visitor this week. He reports that the new shaft that is being sunk below the loo level of that property is making good pro- gress and will soon reach the POO level, where station will be cut and drifts run.
 Work on the Studley-Swope group of mines, in IXL Basin, is being carried on by small force of men. After the first of the month this force will be added to and another hoisting plant will be put in to sink shaft on one of the properties to a depth of several hundred feet. The work is disclosing considerable good ore.

A short distance west ot this place he also has a fine showing of lead ore, from which quite | large amount has been shipped to the smetter. The mine is in one of | the most accessible parts of the Cerbat section.
 Surveys are being made of the | Cleopatra group of mines, recently I, taken over by mining operator nam ed Schwartz, of Colorado Springs, | Colorado. A large acreage outside of the original claims is being located and will be plated with the group. | It is understood that the people back | of the enterprise have mapped out a | large amount of work and will soon have the necessary camp established | and employ large number of miners. The mines are close to Bill Williams | Fork, some distance south of the Me Cracken properties.
