 H. E. Bierce went over to Mineral Park the first of the week to take look at the work that is being done on the McNeely property. The mines under operation show excellent copper vnlues throughout the outcrop and It is the impression that with depth the copper values will increase to great extent.
 The Boundary Cone mine continues to show up big ore bodies in the drifts on the lower level and the miners of the Tom Reed section believe it to be one of the big things of the district. The management has been very con- servative and are working away stead fly and making no big talk of the re- cent strikes of bonanza ore.
 s. c. Childers was in from White Hills few days ago, having been looking over his Gold Basin mines with party of prospective purchas- CTS. He believes he has some of the best mining properties in the county, but is unable to put them on pay basis without the assistance of capital. The men that looked at the mines were well pleased with what they saw.
 Col. w. l.. Hargrove and J. I. An. derson, of Prescott, who have been ex- amining mines in the Gold Basin sec tion the early part of the month, re- turned home last Monday. They were much impressed with the great i'm portance of this county as gold pro- duclng country and it is probable that they will make an effort to get some- thing good out toward the Colorado river, to the north of Kingman. That section has some excellent gold mining properties that development will bring into the producing class in short time.
 The Gold Roads mines company this week received SIX carloads of lumber for shipment to the mines. It is understood that this is the first con- signment of lumber for the new ad- dition to the big mill. The new mill Is to have more than double the capacity of the present plant and is to be in commission before the first of January. With plant turning out more than 2OO,OOOs per month the Gold Road will be one of the great mines of the Pacific coast. It has the ore and only needs the mill to make this big production.
 It is understood that sufficient signatures have been obtained to the referendum of the Miners lien to get it place on the ballot and have a vote of the people on that iniquitous measure. That every miner in this county will vote against it is the state. ment of member of one of the largest Miners Union locals in the county, and che men that are interested in 'hO "Cii"iO V oi thO oVdlC VIII dlSO give the repeal of the measure their hearty support. While we believe the meas ure unconstitutional, it is best to take no chances and get together one and all to encompass it's repeal.
 Zinc is now higher in the market than at any time during the last thirty-hve years. Lead is climbing up. but rather slowly. Silver is little over 50 cents an ounce, but it's upward to slow. It is the impression of mining men that copper is too high and that reaction will take place within the year. With the low stocks of red metal that is improbable, as buyers are compelled to take the of- ferings at the market price, and that price can now be maintained indefinite ly. Taking it all around the market for various metals produced in Ari- zona never looked so favorable.
 A. F. Muter, c. w. Davis and P. McCardell went down to Yucca Thurs day last to look at mining property east of that place. The mines at the old Copper Camp should be worked, there being good grade of both cop per and Wolfram obtainable in the veins. The Copper World and Antler
