known mining men OF the state, came
in from White Hills Monday last to
attend to important matters. lie has
been making an examination 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 pf
very good body of ore. The gen
cral belief is that the mine is one
OF the big properties OF the Silver
Creek section.
+. II. Barton, general manager Of
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 $4,000. and was the cleanup
OF run of part of the month. The
mill is said to be working quite
smoothly and doing very good work.

days ago. He reports that he and
the boys are building a road from
the main Sandy road to the mines
and the work will soon be completed
so that loaded teams may pass over
it readily Mr. 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
* Power company. arrived from
New York City last Thursday and
will remain here some time looking
after the business interests Of the
company His company is the own
er of one OF the big groups of min
ing property of the county, and with
larger milling facilities would be the

A. w Brandlund. general manager
OF the Hercules Mining company
passed through Kingman Friday on
his way TO Los Angeles lie repor.s
that the crusscut from the bottom
OF the l65-foot shaft had cut five
feet OF high grade ore. The new
electric pump is working satisfa,-
torily and keeping the water down.
The work OF opening up the new
level IS we'll under way and the snik-
ing OF another lift will soon be com
menced
Report comes to kingman this
week that a great strike OF ore has
been made in the drift from the 1877
foot level of the Mitchell mine, of
the Leland group OH which the
Vivian Mining company is now oper-
ating. The ore is said to I'LL the
drift, while twenty inches of the
vein will run above $500 in gold 10
the ton. The balance OF the vein
will run well in milling values. The
shaft is being continued to the 500
as fast as possible. and it is now at
depth OF $50 feet. Since the work
was commenced on this property a
few months ago by S, X. Porter and
associates the shaft has been sunk
through the newer andesite and IS
now far below the older andesite
formation, where it has been pre-
dicted 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 IA
feet OF matter and milled it with
four feet of fairly good ore and
thought they could get results, but
found that the big overload OF waste
would not appreciate the value OF
the paystreak Now that the prop
erty is is the hands OF miners we
may expect great things from il.

has three or four men al work and
Is now getting some results. After
searching for ore at a depth Of 2oO
| rect ana having lett the vein at the
100 the management has concluded
to work on the ore, and now a vein
OF ore FIVE feet wide that will run
above $S in gold has been opened
mp. This ore is free milling And
may lead to much better grade The
property is ideally situated for econ
omic work, the mine being about a
mile from the railroad and in a
locality that is easily reached by
wagon.
At the San Francisco mine. near
Cedar, several men are at work UNI
watering the property. The water
has been lowered to the 400 level
and a new and larger pumping plant
