Nevada-Arizona Mines Com
 pany.

This week John Phillips and H. L. Stewart, of the Nevada Arizona mines company went out to that property for the purpose of arranging for the erection of the milling plant and the opening of stopes in the mines. They took samples from the Roosevelt mine that gave results ranging from lSS to l07$ in gold These samples were taken across the vein and shows fully the milling values of the ores. The tunnel has been run along the vein over 600 feet and shows ore the whole length.
 The company is the owner of most inviting group of mines, that years ago were considered among the good producers of the county. Leasers ex- tracted the ores around the grassroots, leaving the future owners the work of opening up the mines at greater depth. While the extraction of the surface ores did no damage to the property it compelled the installation of ma chinery to get at the lower bodies of ore. It also demonstrated the pos sibilty of great ore bodies at and be- low the water level at which point some of the work was discontinued. On the Lucknow, which was formerly known as the Ellen Jane, the ore body showed excellent values, and cave at the bottom of the 200 foot shaft dis closed eighteen inches of 25S ore ia a side vein, which is wholly virgin ground to the surface. Along the Roosevelt and the veins contiguous thereto great tonnage of rich ore and these veins still retaln good show ings of milling ores. Wherever open ed below the old levels the same general high grade of ore is to be found.
 With the expenditure of money in the development of the mines below the water level It Is the opinion Of well known mining men that this property will become one of the best producers in the county. A mill with plenty of water would soon reimburse all expenditures made on the property and return big revenue besides from the ore now in sight. The mana gement soon expect to have the mill in com mission and water may be de- yelOped in the Lucknow shaft, as we'll as bridging supply from springs owned by the company.
 MT. Phillips has returned to Mil waukee, while Mr. Stewart will re- main here to get the milling machin- cry to the camp and assist in its erec- tiOn

Mines of the County
Boundary Cone in Big Ore.

Wednesday last E. F. Thompson visited the Boundary Cone mine, near Oatman, and was agreeably surprised with the extensive ore bodies now being opened in the property. On the 520 level the drift has been driven along the vein and some time ago entered a body of milling ore thirteen feet wide. This ore body is being opened by drift at the rate of 100 tons per day, while the upper drifts show big ore tonnage. The drift is now being carried along obhQuely to the other section of drift on new ore body that apparently leads to the rich ore shoot. the wlnze above showing the local disturbance of the water after each shot. It was in this winze that the immensly rich ore was taken when the flow of water caused ces- satiOn of work some months ago. The winze was sunk to a depth of sixteen feet, from which 5,OOO$ in nugget gold was taken, besides several tons of ex- ceptionally rich ore. In each of the drifts above the 520 level there has been opened bodies of ore running to five feet in width that has milling grade.
 1. D. l.. Williams. secretary of the company, has been at the mine the past week and passed through King, man Thursday last on hls way home. He reports that the company is now getting things in shape to erect ten stamp mill at the mine. This plant is to be an uptodate cyanide plant with amalgamators. Slopes are to be open, ed on each of the levels and every thing gotten in shape to produce Samples taken from milling ore Tn the 42O level gave as high as l05$ gold to the ton, while the general run of the ore is said to be above 30s. With this class of ore the mine IS sure to be one of the big successes of the Tom Reed country.
 Frank Dryden. well known to this section as capable miner, has been appointed superintendent of the prop erty, taking the place of J. M. Vasser, who has been compelled to retire for the present, owing Co ilne~s During the life of this mine it has been in charge of Mr. Vasser, who mapped out the work and carried it to the present successful condition. His many friends hope to see him again at the mine in still more responsible position, that of consulting engineer.

The Eclipse group of mines have been bonded to William Mich and work is now being done on the main vein of the group. It is understood that sale of the property is very probable, the price being agreed upon and the showing at the mlne most in viting. The property is in the Secret Pass section, some distance north of Gold Road. A shaft has been sunk to depth of more than fifty feet and the ore shows very good values in gold. At many places in the vein ex. tremely high values have been un- covered,
 J. C. Wilson. deputy Mine Inspector of Arizona, passed through Kingman Thursday last on his way to Yuma county, where he will make an ex- animation of quick silver mines near Parker. It is reported that a number of men are now employed in the prop erty and the shaft reaching depth where state inspection is required. MT. Wilson is carrying with him handsome piece of ore from the Monte CristO mlne, west of Wickepburv. which he recently had polished up as pocket piece. The piece is almost pure silver and was taken from the rich streak in that property.
 An Eldorado Canyon correspondent of the Reno Gazette says that the Wharton estate has bonded some of It's outside mines to the Sterling Borax company and that work will soon be under way on the properties. The estate is still holding the Techatticup ard Wall Street mines, the old claims from which millions of dollars have been taken during the years of the existence.
 J. N. Starr went out to Music Moun- tain today, where he will have charge of the erection of the Nevada Arizona Mines company mill Mr. Starr is one of the best workmen in the county, having erected large number of hosting and other plants. With Jack in charge the mill will soon be in com mission.
 Mart Little, who owns mining prop- critics near the Copper Giant, in the Brownsville camp, is in Kingman. He reports that mining is on the i'm prove in that section and that the Clark interests are sure to prove a drawing card.

are so narrow and crooked and the
cliffs on the side so high that the ex-

In days OF fiery persecution the Mora
