Q. B. Amsden, one of the best known mining men of the state came m from White Hills Monday last to attend to important matters He has been making an Xamination of min ing property in the White Hills sec ton.
 Recent work on the Neglected mine has opened a large flow of water but this is said to have been compensated for by the opening of a very good body of ore The general belief is that the mine is one of the big prop critics of the Silver Creek section.
 2. H. Barton. general manager oi the Frisco Mines & Power company. brought in a big bar of bullion from the mill last Tuesday afternoon. The bar is estimated to have a value of about ten thousand dollars. and wSs the cleanup of a run of part of the month. The mill Is said to be work ing quite smoothly and doing very good work.
 W. D. Grannis came up from his mines Tn the Cedar section a few days ago. He reports that he and rne boys are building a road from the main Sandy road to the mines and the work will soon he completed, so that loaded teams may pass over it readily. MT Grannis believes he has something good in the Cedar district and will do considerable work on the properties.
 J. A. Roberts, of the Frisco Mines X Power company, arrived from New York City last Thursday evening and will remain here some time looking after the business interests of the company. His company is the owner of one of the big groups Of mining properties of the county, and with larger milling facilities would be the largest bullion producer in the state
 A. w Bratlund. general manager of the Hercules Mining company. passed through Kingman yesterday on his way 10 Los Angeles, where ne wal spend a month or more with his family. He reports that the crosscut from the bottom of the l65 foot shaft had cut five feet Of high grade ore. The new electric pump is working satisfactorily and keeping the water down. The work Of opening up the nc" level is well under way and the sinking of another lift will soon be commenced. The shareholders thac recently visited the mine are well satisfied with the outlook and believe they have a great property.
 At the Belleflower mine J. R. Jahn Nra4.H Is now getting some results. After searching for ore at a depth of Pod feet and having left the vein at the 100 level the management has con- clUded to work on the ore, and now vein of ore five feet wide that will run above eight dollars in gold has Teen opened up. This ore is free milling and may lead to much bet ter GIaGe. The property is ideally situated for economic work, the mine being about mile from the railroad and in a locality that is easily reached by wagon. It is to bo hoped that the company will open big ore body and that it will be well rewarded for its perseverance il staying with the venture the past sey- eral years.
 Report comes to Kingman this week that 8 great strike of ore has been made in the drift from the 1yD level CT the Mitchell mine, of the .e- land group on which the Vivian Min ins company is now operating. The ore is said to fill the drift, while twenty inches Of the vein will run above $500 in gold to the ton. The balance of the vein will run well in milling values. The shaft is being continued to the 800 as fast as pos sible and it is now at a depth Of 250 feet. Since the work was commenced on this property T few months ago by s. R. Porter and associates the shaft has been sunk through the new or andesite and is now far below the older andesitic formation, where it has been predicted no values would be found. In the old workings Of the Leland there has always been good ore, but the old management took out about fourteen feet of matter and nilled it with four feet of fairly gool ore and thought they cosld get re- suits. but found that the big overload or waste would not appreciate the value of the pay streak. Now that the property is in the hands of miners We may expect great things from it.
 At the San Francisco mine, near Cedar, several men are at work un- watering the property. The water has been lowered to the 100 level and new and larger pumping plant is being installed that is expected tp handle the water below that level. J. T. Purdy. formerly manager of the property. is expected at the mine about the first Of the month and will have the work that is 10 be done on the mine mapped out. The main shaft on the property has reached depth of 900 feet and good ore was found at that level The trend of the ore body has been definitely located and any future work will now open up a big body of extremely rich high grade ore on this level the richest ore ever taken from the mine was found, the wOrkmen breaking into aa ore body that ran 5000 gold as 1t was broken down. Should the cor tinuation of this ore body be founi the mine will undoubtedly make good
