hce IT hlngman tnls week, tnefe Oelng large number of stockholders present, representing practically all the issued shares of the company. The old board of directors was reelect- ed for the ensuing year.
 A great body of ore is said to have been recently opened up in the New Jersey mine, at Chloride. Ed Mingle, one of the owners of the property, is in Los Angeles, and it is understood that he is negotiating for large hoist ing machinery for the property. The mine shows big flow of water and this will have to be handled by pumps.
 The big drilling plant for the King man Copper Mining and Milling con- pany will be on the mines within a few days and the work of driving deep holes through the copper zone will be commenced. Experienced drillers have been engaged to do the work and are now at Mineral Park getting things in shape to place the machine as soon as it arrives. Roads are being built to vantage points on the ground and the work will be pushed to con- pletion as fast as possible.
 Tennessee mine, st Chloride, the con- tractors having hard time getting a crew of miners to continue the work Fifteen men were brought in from Jerome to go into the shaft and the work is now well under way. The company is getting great results all along the line, the 900 level showing up big in the drifts. With few hun dred feet more in depth It is believed that the copper situation will be greatly improved and the gold values will increase.
 A force of men are now at work on the the mines of Chris Vogt and others, in the Wauba Yuma mining district, some miles southeast of King man. Many mining men that looked at these clalmS are of the opinion that they are among the best looking pros poets in the country and that if they develop up as well as the surface out crop would indicate they would be- come heavy producers of copper and gold. The veins are very large and carry excellent values wherever open ed.
 A. w. Bratland departed Thursday last to San Francisco, where he will remain during the hot weather. re- turning to his properties in the Gold road section about the first of October. Mr. Bratland was the discoverer of the Hercules group of mines and organized a company to operate the properties, but owing to some internal troubles what at fir | appeared to be the bring ing out of big producer, has been given big setback. The mines are all right and it is to be hoped that matters will be adjusted to allow of tne speedy development of the prop erty.
 Prospectors are going into the Cot. tonwood district, the advent of the Clark interests in that district bring ing it into prominence. The country surrounding Wright Creek is we'll mineralized and many good finds are sure to be made. Years ago Ed. Schieffelin, discoverer of Tombstone, found some of the richest float he had ever seen in the country east of Wright Creek, and came back here many times to try to find the vein from whence it came, but was unsuccessful. Others have tried to find this vein and some day it is sure to be brought to light. The predominating value in the ores of that country is gold, while many of the veins carry good values in copper The mineralized country runs as far east and south as Mount Hope.
 Inquiry for miners for the various camps this week found only few in Kingman, which shows healthy con- dition among the working miners of the county. While the camps report times not as lively as formerly, vet there are more miners at work and less idle men than ever before in the history of this county. Instead of dulFtimes Mohave county should be
