 Dr. L. D. Godshall came in from Los Angeles Wednesday last and will look over various parts of the county. He is just as favorably impressed with the mining possibilities of this county as he ever was and believes it has great future. It is probable that he will in- terest himself in mining within the next few months.
 S. R. Porter and J. c. BJorn went to Chemehuevis mountain last Sunday and made an examination of the prop erty recently discovered by Fred D. Brown and Manuel Ruiz, in which Bill Yee of Kingman is interested. They took numerous samples from the openings and were we'll pleased with the looks of the property.
 Steinberg Bros, of Los Angeles, are getting things in shape to begin their contract on the Bellefower mine, south of Kingman. They expect to have the shaft down another 100 feet within the next sixty days and then the work of getting to the vein will be carried on as fast as machine drills will do the work. The men are among the best machine men in business and are sure to get excellent results from the plant now on the mine.

Saunders of Los Angeles, who are to sample the Keystone mine m the interest of the Keystone Mining com pany. This company has a bond on the property, but the option expired few days ago. It is thought that the sampling of the property means the taking up of the option by some of the shareholders of the old company, although MT. Uncapher has the last say on this part of the programme.
 Thomas McGraw, who has charge of the work on the Iron King mine, in IYL Basin, was a Kingman visitor this week. He reports that the work of sinking the shaft on the property is progressing, but that the heavy flow of water was retarding the work.
