 now in commission and is sending the ore in large quantities into the big bins. It is expected that as soon as the railroad is completed to that point the ores will be sent out to the smelt- CTS. The mine is in shape to ship a great quantity of ore, high in lead, gold and silver values.
 Loper and Carney are developing their mines, east of Blackberry. and are getting big results. The claims have been producing from the grass roots, considerable ore and bullion and mint. The shaft is now reaching toward the water level, where a change in the character of the ore may be ex- pected. Besides gold this ore carries values in copper and it is confidently expected that it will develop into a high grade copper-gold mine. The property is situated in one of the most accessible sections of the Cottonwood mining district, near Wright Creek.
 E. P. Lambert, of St. Louis, who is the owner of valuable mining property in the Gold Basin section. is in town awaiting the arrival of machinery re- gently shipped from Barstow. He states that the development work done on his mines the past year or two has opened up body of ore l6 feet wide that carries values ranging 5S to sos to the ton Tn gold. The vein shows strongly along the outcrop, and where ever sampled gold values have been found. With cheap power and plenty of water the Gold Basin section would become one of the great gold producers of the state.
 S. c. Bagg has been remodelng his mill at the Cyclopic mine and now has it in the best shape. The mine is showing up splendid values, which the mill is now able to save to high per- centage. The shaft on this property has reached depth of 400 feet al though the deepest point perpendicu. larly is not over 100 feet Along the entire depth of this opening the ore body shows up we'll, some of the ore runLing very high in gold From over one hundred samples none was found that ran below 5S,while many ran well up toward one hundred dollars. The ore is friable and easily milled, it is expected that the production of gold by thls property this year will be quite large.
 w. w. Reed and William Mackay have taken a lease on the old Ameri- can Flag mine, in Wallapai mountain. and will at once begin active develop ment. It is understood that the mine is to be oEened by new tunnel or adit on the vein high above the old open- ings, where it is understood good values have been found. The property has been opened by shaft and tunnel to depth of several hundred feet, the lower drift being in on the vein more than 75O feet. Throughout these open ings good ore was found in the days gone by, much of it having been ship ped to Swansea, Wales. The property is considered one of the big things of the Maynard district. The mine is about fifteen miles easterly from King man.
 James Carter came in from Oatman a few days ago and is looking after i'm portant mining business in town. He believes that with milling plant on the mines of the Carter Gold Mining company he will be able to take out enough money to further exploit the property. At the present level there is much ore that will average above 3OS per ton, the surface ore running far above the average. Many King man people are interested in the mine and have faith in it coming to the front within 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 county and IS sure sooner or later to get big results from his property. It was he that discover. ed the big loss in values at the Gold Road mill, under the old management,
