camp, high up on the west side of the Wallapais, in Wauba Yuma district. a few days ago and reports that he has several men at work on the properties. The veins in that section are large and run through the country for miles. Values are carried in gold, silver and copper.
 A splendid body of ore Is being opened in the Grant & McGeary wash by c. P. Lupher, who has been work. ing on an old claim the past six months or more. The ore carries values in gold and while somewhat spotted, will give good average re suits. The ore was struck in the north drift and the work is being car ried along rapidly.
 Peter Caffery, who has been at work the past several months on the Has. sayampa mining claim, at Layne Springs. is in Kingman. He reports that the mine is looking good, the crosscut disclosing great body of low grade ore. In the shaft there is nice body of good grade lead ore. The vein is the north extension of the Alpha mine.
 In the winze from the adlt level Loper and company has opened about four feet of ore that gives high values in gold and some copper. The vein is about four miles from the Indian school, at Valentine, in Cotton wood district, east of Blackberry. The men have been at work on the vein the past year or more ant have consider. able ore opened. They are now negotiating for mill, with the view of erecting it on the mine and milling the ore. The mill will be removed from Yavapai county within a few months. Enough ore IS now in sight and on the dumps to keep the mill pounding away for some time. ...
 The last carload of ore from the de la Fountaine mine is now on the way to the railroad at Berry, whence it will be shipped to the smelter. This ore is heavy in lead and will reach the smelter in time to get the benefit of the recent rise in that metal. The car of zinc has gone forward to BartlesviIle, Okla., where it will be- treated. These two cars are experi- mental shipments from the property and should prove to be the forerunner of the shipment of many thousands of tons of high grade of lead and zinc ores. The mine is undo rstood to have 10000 tons of ore in sight that will run well up in the two metals, the zinc and lead carrying ores being dis tinct and easily separable.
 A report is current in Kingman that strike of great importance has been made on the old Cordelia mine, in Bob Tail basin, a circular basin to th. north of Todd Basin. The samples from the new strike run over 2,OO0S in gold and silver and the streak is said to be quite large. The vein is large one and ap- pears to be continuation of the old Todd mine, and possibly forms a part of the Gro Plata. The old workings showed good bodies of very low grade ore and no one dreamed that it con- tained such values as those found by the leassees. Hoffman brothers are the owners of the property and some time ago they turned it over to the present lessees. The men are hard at work opening up the new strike and expect to soon be shipping high grade to the shelter.
 J. c. Goulding, superintendent of the Yucca Mining company, the re- organized Yucca Cyanide Mining & Milling company, is in Kingman hav- ing come here for the purpose of em. ploying a number of miners. He re- ports that the diamond drill on the 700 l,vel of the San Francisco mine, cut a fine body of gold bearing ore and drift. ing is now in progress to the vein. Since starting up work on the mine some months ago the diamond drill has cut more than 800 feet of ground and prospected several levels quite thoroughly. In the level above the ore body was large and the values very
