 Reports come from the Tom Reed Junior mines. situated close in to the Tom Reed property at Oa,man. that the main shaft has reached a depth of over 22D feet and that splendid values have been found. The shaft was sunk on the vein and from the surface to the present depth good mill orc was had. From Assessor F. L. Hunt we learn that the mine under the management of William Dariand is proving up a bonanza. Mir Hunt informed the Miner editor that he was told by men coming in from the district that the showing in this vein was good. and that some of the ore now being taken from the shaft ran we'll up in gold The company is we'll financed and is doing good work. lt appears to be the plan to drift at the 250 level and open the vein. At the present depth the vein is harder and the values are better disseminated than on the levels above Some of the ore shows free gold. while all of it shows we'll in the pan.

 F. $. Osborne. one of the big mine owners of the Parker section, is in Kingman awaiting the arrival of mining man. MT. Osborne and his family at one time resided in Kingman and is we'll known to the business men of the town. He is one of the best rustlers in the state and we believe he should again enter the county and take a chance in the mines. This county Is one of the best all the year places for mining. there being no other like it in the whole state. and it is al fact that here the mine owner gets his greatest reward in proven mines
 The Miner Is in receipt of letter from Harry MeComb of the incor- poration of Tarr & McComb. of this place. in which he expresses himself very much taken with the Miners proposition that the people subscribe the same amount at this time that they usually subscribe toward al Fourth of July Many of the busi- ness men of the town have express ed the same view and il Is probable that the matter will be taken up in csrnes, and the oiling of the streets undertaken Figures will soon be covering the expense oi the work. so that the matter may be placed before the people
