out large amount of bullion. The ore carries values of about POS to the
 ton and the extraction IS very high.
 F. E. Ryder, of San Diego, ac. companied Joe Kelsy to Cedar, where they made an examination of mining property owned by the latter. It is understood that Mr. Ryder will take over the property and later put force of men at work on it. The property lies close to the San Francisco and carries some exceptionally high grade ore.
 H. E. Wood, of Los Angeles, who is at the head of one of the mining con- panies operating properties close in to the Tom Reed mines, passed through Kingman few days ago on h.s way to the mines, where he will look after work that has been mapped out. The company owns some of the desirable ground in that locality and work may be able to open body of ore similar to the great gold mine.
 s. c. Bagg, who has been operating the Cyclopic mine for several years, is reported to have cut twelve foot body of ore running better than twenty dollars to the ton at point away below the old workings. The ore is easily crushed and the extraction from the coarse ore is above ninety per cent. Mr. Bagg has been quite i'll the past month but is now on the high road to recovery.
 Walter Bunce and Walter Beam, two we'll known mining men of Denver, this week made an examination of the Bi-Metal mines, south of Kingman. These men are among the best known of the mining men of Colorado and it is to be hoped that they will decide favorably on the Bi-Metal, which in our opinion is one of the greatest low grade gold propositions in the state, or III ldCI III any Stdte
 The railroad extension to the Ten nessee mine, at Chloride. has been completed and now track laying is going on slowly, the company being unable to obtain the men necessary to rush the work. As soon as the track Is laid the Needles Mining & Smelling company will begin the shipment of ore to the smelter and large force of men will be put to work in the mine. The road is also to be carried to the bunkers of the Rainbow Mountain Mining company and that property will also become big shipper.
 Report comes to Kingman that the recent strike of ore in the San Fran cisco mine has grown to amazing pro- portions, the vein increasing in size to more than two feet and the ore run. ming well up into the thousands in value. The strike was made in virgin ground, which indicates great back of ground between the 600 level and the apex of the vein, high up on the mountain side. This ore body is supposed to have thrown off the rich ore found years ago below this vein and which has been searched for by many prospectors. A force of men are employed driving the drift into the ore and it will be but a short time until the mill is put to work pounding out the bullion.
 w. s. Wilhelm, owner in some desirable mining property in the San Francisco district, was Kingman visitor this week. He reports that the Lien Law, passed by the last legislature, is having bad effect on mining in this state. A letter receiv. ed by him from Joe Dillon and Reese Ling conveys the information that leases and bonds on mining property in Yavapai county has been greatly retarded by the prospects of mines being responsible for the debts of those working the properties under option or otherwise. Any one having a mine which he thinks to be of value will not take chance on leasing it or allowing any one to work it under bond, unless bond is put up covering any possible expense that may be in- cured. The inference is drawn that an effort will be made at the coming
