 Sinking below the old level is now being carried on at the Ruth and as soon as the 300 level is reached the vein will be cut and drifting carried on at that point. Miners coming in from the property are firm in the belief that the Ruth will be one of the big mines of San Francisco district.
 H. w. Hardinge, inventor of the Hardinge ball mill, is in Kingman, having come here from New York to look after business matters. One of the mills is now in the Frisco mill, at Union Pass, and we understand another one is to go into the new mill of the Arizona Southwestern Copper company, at Copperville.

 John Gross, who has been doing title work for Thomas McNeely, at Mineral Park, was in Kingman few days ago, having finished his contracts. Mr. McN, e'y and H. E. Bieree have been locating large group of mines in the lower part of Mineral Park Basin and expect to open, something good on them. Mir. McNeely has been the own- CT of good copper property in the Park and it is understood that all the mines will go into one group.
 A force of men are soon to be put to work on the properties of the Arizona Turquoise mines, at Mineral Park, by Supt. Atlee. Mir.

Tue Arizona Turquoise company has some of the best gem bearing ground at Mineral Park and has been able to get better prices for the stones in the market than any of the other con- panies.
 The leasers on the Banner mines are sending a large tonnage of ore to the bunkers at the foot of Stockton Hill. the big tram being used to con- vey the ore. Today the big teams are to go out to begin the work of hauling the ore to the railroad for transportat ion to Needles, where it will be treated at the shelter. It is understood that the grade of ore is good and that the leasers will net better than wages from the first shipment and that there. after they will be able to increase their tannage and get better results.
 The copper strike made by Lyon Kay north of the Keystone mine, Mineral Park, is attracting considerable atten- tion. Representative of several large mining companies have already been out to take look at the property. MT. Kay expects to develop the mine to some extent himself and if he is able to open up body of the ore cut on the surface he is sure to pocket many thousands of dollars from the sale of ores. The vein is an except ionally good one and the value of the ore makes it an inviting product for shelter.
