 The construction work of one of the most modern and up-to.date types of concentrating and cyaniding mills ever built in this section is now under way at the Twin Peaks camp. The plans were first designed by J. w. Kniffen and the work is now un- der the supervision of MT. Bryan, mining engineer and metallurgiSt, formerly of Miami, Arizona
 A large storehouse is being com pleted and the cemented stone work of the foundation for the min is finished and mill timbers and maehin- cry are being unloaded at the mill site. The camp presents an unus- ual scene of activity. The Free Gold shaft which has about 1000 feet of development done, will be the main producer of gold ore for the new mill.
 Preparations are being made for the installation of machine drills. The mine is already equipped with a i60-horsepower air compressor and a large air receiver, a 75-horsepow- CT steam hoist, sable and steel cage, adequate for at least 1500 feet of depth. Two 65 horsepower boilers furnish the steam power.
 A large 50 horsepower automobile is being employed for transportation of passengers and light freighting from Clifton, York and Duncan, Ari- Zona.
 Due to Frsser's Efforts. Probably to the efforts of Joseph F. Fraser more than anyone else is due this great activity in the Twin Peaks mining camp. He arrived here a couple of weeks ago from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he has been for several months promoting the inter- ests of these mines and interesting eastern capital. He has raised about S150.OO0, which is being used exclu- siyely for the improvement and de- velopment of the big group of gold mines and for the installation of the new mill.
 The following news of Pima coun- ty mines is taken from the Tucson Citizen:
 The Nancy, Dividend, Norman No. r and Extension claims of the Nor man Mining and Milling company in the Ripscy district. Pinal county, have been bought by Albert Stein field and operations at the property is to be resumed at once.
 The mines were located in the early eighties by J. N. CuCtis, of Tucson, who was then superintend- ent of the old Ray Mining company. He discovered the property one day while locating a new wagon road from the present town of Kelvin to Red Rock.
 The claims were transferred sev- erai times before they reached the hands of the Norman company. A shaft was sunk to a depth of 504 feet on the main vein, and small concentrating plant was put in. The coneentrator failed, however. to handle the ore which is an iron sul nhuret ,----.--,- ~- '-~'--"-. Hence the milling eApCr.--ell Was failure
