Yucca, where the annual assessment work is being done.
 T. R. Garnier came in from Los Angeles, California, last week Satur- day, and has boen looking after assess ment work at Cerbat and Wallapai mountain. Mir. Garnier has been in the Allegheney City section of Cali fornia the past two years looking after the installation of big milling plant and the placing of it in commission.
 It is reported that a great dredger is to be put on the Colorado river to work the bars near the mouth of the Grand Canyon. These bars are re- ported to carry good values in gold, some of them bearing as high as three dollars to the yard. With the proper dredging plant immense quantity of gold may be recovered from the river sands. M. w. Musgrove is now in the east looking after details of the for nation of a company to install the plant.
 Walter DeLiere and J. w. Johnson were down from Brownville early this week and report that work on the mines throughout that district is go- ing ahead with a rush. It is their belief that the coming year will see great activity in all the mines and the advent of some big capital to handle the larger veins of the camp. The mines of Loper and Carney, which have been shipping for some time past, are still looking exceptionally well and are soon to be taken over by outside capital.
 $. R. Porter, who was in Kingman "Wednesday last, reports that all ma chinery for electric lighting and power has been installed at the Leland and Mitchell and that they now had one of the most up-to date camps in the county. The r-ain shaft on the Mitchell mine is now down over 400 feet and will be driven to the 750, where levels will be carried off through the property. From this level the other veins will be cut and the whole mine exploited to that depth.
 The Tom Reed Gold Mines company is constantly adding to the better. ments of the property, the last being the laying of big water pipes through the tailings dumps to carry away the flood waters that fall above that point and save the dumps from being cut in to and carried away. The pipes are terra-c cotta and are three feet in diam. eter. Many other improvements have been added to the mill and mine, that have resulted in cutting the costs of producing bullion.
 Jack Cornelius, who is in charge of the property of the American Metals Mines company, near Deluge Wash, reports to w. P. Carr that he has opened up one of the greatest bodies of zinc ore he has ever seen in the Shoie ho" oOiuS ouuh ou Iuo Nelu The company expect to sink this shaf. to a depth of 100 or more feet, unless water is encountered in such volume to preclude sinking without ma chinery. As soon thereafter as ma chinery can be gotten onto the ground the shaft will be co itinued downward The veins owned by this company are large and show excellent mlneraliza. tion.
 The Tennessee mine has reached the 900 level, where sinking for the present will stop. It Is probable that a station will be cut at that level and crosscut run to the main ore body, although report in circulation is that all the men now under employment at the mine will be put in the stopes and driving drifts into the ore body on the 700 level. It is understood that the 7th level shows the vein to have made great change from the levels above and that there is reason to believe that the best part of the mine has been entered. The ore on this level is bigger than at any other point and it's values appear to be more stable than in the levels above.
