 Reiff and Soloman are getting a ship ment of ore ready to send to the Nee gold, the gold appearing in the iron.
 Thomas Brobant is getting things in shape to go to the Chemehuevis mountains, where he is interested in mining property with Manuel Ruiz. The veins in the group are large and are said to carry excellent values in gold and silver.
 Earl Tarr came over from Mineral Park last Saturday, having been re- siding at that camp the past several weeks. He reports that one or two of the turquoise companies are opera. tlng properties there and that much good stone is being shipped to the lapidaries.
 Frank Murphy and Howard Wells are in San Francisco outfitting for a trip to South America. The men are excellent prospectors and should make good Tn the South American republics. The men have prospected in many states and territories of the United States and have a very thorough knowl- edge of minerals and their occurrence
 It is reported that the shippers of Chloride are unable to get enough cars to take care of the big shipments of ore offered at that railroad point. Travelling freight agent F. L. Hanna went over to Chloride few days ago to look into the shipping conditions and will see that hereafter the requir- ed number of cars are sent out there every day. The shipments on the branch line have been growing fast the past two months and the future promises much greater tonnage.
 Mr. and Mrs. c. G. Atlee were King man visitors this week, coming in from
 
 Mr. Atlee reports thar he has driven the north drift lS0 feet along the vein, into the old works and that every foot of the ground shows milling ore. The mine is one of the old time properties, the original name being the IXL. It should be the policy of the company to friy hn n n Of y free hand to develop the ore bodies, a deep shaft being a necessity, to open them below the oxidized zone. At the lowest point in the property the ore shows much teaching, an indication that there must be secondary en- richment below that point. Some of and lead.
 It is eported that Thomas G. Norris has financed the Arabian Mining con- pany in the east. The property is that known as the Union Pass mines, situated at Myers We'll, about our miles west of the Pass. The mines have been worked to some extent, there being drift across the vein, about 100 feet in length, and a shaft sunk to a depth of about l50 feet from the drift level. In many places on the big vein excellent ore has been found, and the shaft is said to have opened fine body of milling, ore. The prop erty is within six miles of the Colo rado river and good roadway can be readily built to millsite on that great stream. The old Hardyville road runs by the property. Robert Brannock, of Union Pass, is one of the owners of the property. and T. E. McClelland, of Los Angeles, is one of the principal shareholders.
 The Frisco Mines X Power com pany IS now crushing a daily tonnage of IS tons of ore that is said to have an aver age value of about POS. The mill has gradually been brought up from low tonnage to the present output by intel. ligent experimentation with the new mills. This property is not equipped as it should be, as the mine is capable of turning out 1000 tons daily as readily as it is now sending eighty tons to the mill. A big plant on the east side of the ridge would get at the ore body more readily and by removing the over- burden the great vein could readily be
