and is still in ledge matter. It is said that this whole mass of ledge matter prospects well, the average being of milling value. Another lift of 100 feet will be sunk right away.
 The Gold Ore Mining company is now shipping daily to the Gold Road mill by auto truck large tonnage of ore that settlement sheets show to have value of .5O$ per ton in gold The lowest ore that can be mined and shipped at profit is S50S Slopes are being opened Tn the mine and better ore will soon be available. The mine shows quite a tonnage of good milling ore and it is the intention to continue development to greater depth and open stopes on all the levels. The mine has been under the management of A. c. Werden, who has been doing good work on the property.
 The Cone Mining & Milling com. pany, of Fresno, California, has a bolster on the ground at the Boundary Cone and will have it in position with in another week. The property is in charge of Dan McIvor, formerly of Bisbee. The company is said to have funds in the treasury for years min. ing campaign. At the present depth (95 feet), a streak of ore was cut into that uave aSSav rotnrnS of from 11S5S to l500$. This ore resembles that re- gently discovered near Bouse, having thin sheets of gold through it and overlying the quartz However the rock at the Cone M x M. is trachyte- quartz, while at Bouse it is hematite. Sinking to 300 feet will be the first work. This property must not become confounded with the Boundary Cone Mining Co.,, owning property to the north of the Lexington. The property of the Cone Mining & Milling company is on the west side of Boundary Cone, several miles southwest of the Tom Reed.
 John Boyle, Jr,, returned few days ago from the east, where he looked after important business in connection with his mining properties in this county. He has arranged to begin the sinking of the main shaft on the Col conda mine from the 495 level to the 700 and will open levels through the new ground In the bottom of the present level there Is great body of ore Tn sight that ought to deliver up many thousands of tons of rich zlnc The main shaft is well timbered and everything at the property is in first class condition. The addition of big truck on the ore haulage between the mine and the railroad IS proving great saving in freight, four trips be- ing made daily between the mine and the railroad station at Mineral. Should the delivery of a greater tonnage of ore to the railroad be necessary the truck could be operated to its full ca pacity. which would give better than a carload of ore daily. Nowhere in the west can more perfect zinc ore be found than that produced by the Golconda, the com bination of metal and sulphur being ideal.
 Last Sunday Frederick W. Horton, of the U. $. Bureau of Mines, of Den yer, arrived in Kingman and the fol- lowing day, in company of Anson H. Smith, visited the molybdenite mines in Copper Canyon. Mr. Horton iias been looking all over the west for mo. lybdenum and was more than pleased with the showing of that class of ore in the mines near Copperville. A large amount of samples was taken and arrangements made for further ship ments to the Bureau. This ore is found in conjunction with copper and it is owing to this fact that so far no ship ments of the metal have been made. It is the purpose of the bureau to make commercial separation of the metals and gangue and present it to the owners of the property Although his time was limited Mir. Horton stated that he had seen enough to con- vlnce him that there was enough mo- lybdenum in Copper Canyon to supply all possible needs of the country for the metal. Molly bdenum is one of the best steel hardening compounds and only it's scarcity has prevented it from
