$lOO The ore is friable and easily mif1ed. it is expected that the pro due,ion of gold by this property this year will be quite large.
 ". ". Reed and William Mackay have taken a lease on the old Amer iosn Flag mine. in Wallapai noun. tain. and will at once begin active development lt IS understood that the mine is to be opened by new tunnel or adit on the vein high above the old openings. where it is understood good values have been found. The property has been open ed by shaft and tunnel to depth of several hundred feet, the lower drift being in on the vein more than 7S0 feet Throughout these openings good ore was found in the days gone by. much of il having been shipped to Swansea, Wales. The property is considered one of the big things of the Maynard district. The mine is about fifteen miles east crly from Kingman
 James Carter came in from Oai- man few days ago and is looking after important mining business in town He believes that with mill ing plant on the mine oi the Carter Gold Mining company he will be able to take out enough money 10 further exploit the property Al the present level there is much orc that will average above S30 per ton. the surface ore running far above the average. Many Kingman people are interested in the mine and have faith in 1t coming to the front with in the next year. The vein lies close to the Tom Reed and is ideal. ly situated for economic mining. Mir Carter is one of the best mining and mill men in the country and is sure sooner or later to get big re- suits from his property. It was he that discovered the big loss in values al the Gold Road mill, under the old management. and succeeded in extracting more than $30,0O0 from the seepage waters before the com pany concluded to pump these wat CTS back into the mill for closer ex- traction. He also found the cyanide cake below the Tom Reed that gave up many thousands of dollars.
 Several leases have been le, on the Samoan mines, at Chloride. by the Chloride Gold Mines company. The property is capable of produc- ing considerable good ore from the old stopes and the leasers should make big wages
 This week D. s. Richerds received orders to tear down the Victor Gold Mines company mill, near Oatman. and ship |, ,o Baker City. Oregon. where this company is operating a gold property. All the machinery owned by the company at Oatman, Milton, and Needles will be sent to Oregon. The Oregon property has been developed to the 800 level and is said to be one of the greatest gold properties in tha, country The mill and power plant are up ,o date and have been used but little. X great pumping plan, from Spears Lake will probably be sold 10 some of the other companies operating in the Tom Reed district. as the expense of digging up the big mains would entail heavy expense. The Victor mill is capable of lfandling about lS0 tons of ore daily. the capacity of the plan, being reinforced by a large tube mill It seems too bad that this mill should be removed. as il is the general belief ,ha, the mine upon which |, was erected some years ago would make good if far. ther developed. The shaft was sunk to depth oi 500 fec, where the older andesite was encountered and the values appeafcd to lose out To the 700 level the values were good and it is said that there are many thousands of tons of rich ore still in the Hopes. Owing to the heavy cost of operating the mill these ores could not be extracted and milled at a profit and have to be left in the mine, With the shaft sunk below the break il is expected that the ore body will again he picked up. but the owners do not want to DO to the expense of further exploitation. Had the Oregon mine been abandon. cd under the same condition the men at the head of the corporation would have made big losing. Bu, they continued the work and found the vein far from the place that il
