Mir. David ssn-is understood to be making up a group of mines that will soon be in active operation. The mines upon which he has option. have recently shipped some exceptionally rich lead ore.
 It is reported from the Myers Frost strike, near Wallapai Springs, that the work of development is showing up some exceptionally rich ore, the same as that first found in the outcrop. The men owning the property are driving the shaft as fast as possible and expect to get big body of stoping ground ob ben within the next few months.

The mill has been in oper. ,ation about ten days and has done e1- ceptionally good work. The mill IS capable of handling about thirty tons of ore day, while the mine is In shape to output enough ore to keep the mill pounding away for long time.
 , A. W. Br tlund, the we'll known mining man, returned this week from Los Angeles, where he has been visit ing with his family. Mr. Bratlund is one of the best mine managers in the bushes and it is probable that he will soon resume the work of exploiting the Hercules group of mines, near Sll- yer Creek. These mines have been operated by the company and have at. tained depth of more than 200 feet, where a great volume of water was found. The ore is high grade mill ing gold ore and the body shown up by development is quite large.

 A lease and bond on the de Ia Foun- taine and Cupel mines has been gwen to E. c. Lane, of the Swansea Con- Smelling comp; ny this week and it is understood that work on the property will soon be under way. The mines are among the best properties in the Stockton Hill section, the Cupel being one of the greatest producers in that camp. The de la Fountaine has big bodies of lead-zinc ore in sight and is well equipped for work. The Cupel is just now filled with water, but is equipped with pumps, boiler and gas holster. With the expenditure of a few thousand dollars the mine will be able to output many thousand tons of very good grade smelling ore. The
