 E. N. Childers and l. C. Ballentine, formerly of Los Angeles, have been in Kingman several days this week, coming here from Flagstaff in their big touring car. Mr. Childers is interested in mining in Chloride and it is probable that he will start up work on his properties before leaving for home.
 George B. Ayers came in from Gold RoaG yesterday with bar of bullion weighing l5,OOOS, the output of the mill for the last five days. A bar was shipped on the second of the month, which weighed HOODS. These nice little bars keep up interest in that section of the county, especially when reinforced with the big monthly bars of the Tom Reed, which usually weigh 10O,OO0S.
 H. B. Mahatfy reports that in doing the work on lead clair: close in to the mountains, at Wallapai Springs, Walter Myers has opened up splen- did showing of ore, The ore carries values in gold, silver and lead and the vein has a width of four feet. Work will be carried on in the development of this vein for some months, and it is probable that the ore will be shipped to the smelter.
 w. P. Carr and Jack Cornelius will soon have things in shape to start up work on their claims in the Deluge Wash section. A compressor, gas engine and holster and pump will be taken to the mine sometime this month and the plant installed. It is expected that the main shaft will be driven downward several hundred feet. The mine has great showing of ore at the present depth; the vein being large and good values appearing in all the openings.
 The timbermen at the GolcOnda mine have arrived at the surface with the tim mbering and are now engaged ir biting in he collar set. The con- pany will erect new gallows frame for the purpose of accommodating a skip, and will also increase the capacity of the bins, so that greater output can be made by the mine. The reopenirg of the mine will probably take place sometime this month, when regular shipments will be resumed The mine is showing great bodies oi rich zinc ore and as the price of that metal is now on the increase the prop erty will show DO loss from the en- forced shutdown.

The drill apparently passed into the permanent formation, tn, quartz showing no evidence of havins been leached. From this hole goot assays in copper were taken and th, sand also gave good results in gold So good were the general results tha the ore body, if found to have larg, tonnage will be of commercial value Permanent water was discovered at depth of about 450 feet. The rig ha been removed to another site and. an other hole will be put down at once It is the intention to thoroughly pros pect the ground along the lmportan vein outcrops Snd the dykes that iu trude the porphyry section.

The Rays have sunk two shaft to depths of 23 and P feet, being es topped from going further without tn aid of pumps, the water being heav in volume. In each of the shafts rc copper ore was found The averag of the vein in the shaft was in exces of seven per cent, while big kidneys C ore was taken out that ran better tha 10 per cent.
