gun the work of sinking the shaft on the Winnifred group of mines, in the Secret Pass section. Lumber for the work was hauled out to the mines the first of the week.
 J. J. Connolly, owner of a splendid looking mining property in Bob Tail Basin, near Todd Basin, iS in King man looking after business affairs. Mr. Connolly has been at work on the mines the past year and has succeeded in getting them in good shape to pro. duce.
 J. $. Withers is having the work done on his mining property in the Secret Pass section and reports hav- ing found some excellent ore in the outcrop of the vein. The work is being done by John Olson, who has a nose for ore", and has been getting results from all the work done.
 The O. x c. Development company is fast getting things in shape at the mines near Wallapai Springs. The new truck has been kept rather busy the past several days hauling out ma- terial and supplies for the camp. It is expected that the connection between the shaft and drift will soon be com Dleted, which will give them good air, as we'll as proving up fifty or sixty feet of ground, between the bottom of the shaft and the drift below
 At the Mullin x Sullivan mines, west of Gold Road, Supt. Summeril has force of men at work, the main shaft on the property having reached depth of POO feet. The report is cur rent in Oatman that big ore has been encountered in the mine and that the drifts on the deepest level are now being run in this new ore body. These mines have been under develop ment the past year or more and have developed into very promising prop critics.
 The Boundary Cone Mining company is drifting on the 800 level and is said to have splendid showing of ore. The shaft was driven into the older anoesite with gratifying results. The company has been working force of men on the mines the past eighteen months and have done some of the best mining in the district, having their mine opened very thoroughly to the 300. Supt. Vassar has shown great faith in the mine and has kept steadily at the work in hand ever since the first work was inaugurated. The mine is close to the Tom Reed.
 Every old abandoned mining claim in the San Francisco district is being located and new work on many of them is showing up splendid bodies of ore. There are more men at work on the mines in the district than ever before in it's history and throughout the many camps there is strong undercurrent of excitement. Indications are that the greatest gold country on the con. tinent will be opened in this district. With cheap power the many low grade ore bodies may be made to pay largely, and enable prospectors to open up the many inviting small veins of the dis trict.
 Frank l.. Hunt visited his Iowa group of mines this week, returning Thursday. The mines are now under option to F. T. Powell, who has force of men drifting from the POO level each way on the big vein. He says that the drifts are in excellent milling ore, the values being general throughout the vein. The main work is being done on the Nugget vein, where the best showing of mineral has been develop ed. It is probable that another lift of 100 feet will soon be sunk on the prop erty and the vein exploited by drifts and raises. The Iowa is one of the most promising groups of mines in the Vivian section and promises big things under the present method of develop ment.
