 A. F. Muter and several mining men paid visit to Copperville and the mines of Copper Canyon this week, taking in some other inviting proper ties on the trip. The men appeared to be well pleased with the outlook of that section of the county from cop
 per standpoint.
 w. E. Dunlap, of the Pacific h. vestment company, was Kingman visitor this week and reports that the mines near Cerbat are looking pros- porous. The work of developing the mines is being carried on by large force of men and steady shipments to the shelter will soon be resumed.
 Kean St Charles was in from his Midnight mine the first of the week and reported that nearly carload of concentrates had been turned out by the plant on the property. The values in the dressed material is good and it is probable that the plant will be con- tinued in operation indefinitely.
 This week Robert Jacobson received authority from c. l.. Davidson to be- gin work on mining property in the Aubrey district and the money to carry on the work was forwarded to the bank here to cover all expense of the proposed development. The vein is said to be about four feet wide and to carry values across the entire width of forty dollars to the ton. The ore can be readily milled on the ground and good saving can be made by cyanide methods.
 It IS reported that the shaft on the old Sonoma mine, at Silver Hill, near Chloride, has been sunk to depth of 100 feet and that drifting is now being done on four feet of ore. This ore is said to be all shippable and that a still greater vein has been opened that gives good milling values. A carload shipped to the shelter gave excellent results and as soon as the stopes can be opened on the 100 level steady ship ments will be made. This is one of the old mines that has been idle many years. but which an intelligent pros- pecting has developed into big min ing possibility.
 Thomas Tighe, who returned yester- day from Salt Lake City, where he at tended the funeral of the late George k. Gum, will take up the develop ment of the old Hack berry mine, where the death of Mr. Gum last week interrupted it. It is understood that MT. Gunn's estate and w. B. Thompson, of Thompson, Towle x Co.,, will continue the work and that mat. ters will go on uninterruptedly under the present management. Mir. Tighe has been with these people many years and is regarded as one of the best mining men in the business.
 Ed. Williams and wife disposed of his ranch on the Big Sandy to a man named Johnson, the price being stated at 3.2OO$. The ranch is one of the best on the Sandy and in the hands of farmer ought to be big paying in. vestment. Mr. Williams will remove his family to Willow springs, in the Aquarius range. close to the tungsten properties, which will be worked. A milling plant is to be erected at the springs and the ores from the mine treated for shipment to the eastern ore buyers, There are many hundred tons of milling ore now in sight and the possibility of many thousands being opened with small amount of additional work.
 John Hansen, one of the well known miners of the Eldorado Canyon sec tion, and who has been prospecting in this county off and on for years, pas. sed through Kingman few days ago on his way east to confer with his con- pany. He has been operating a group of mines in Eagle Wash, close to the Canyon, and at depth of POO feet has driven drift along the vein A cross. cut has disclosed 39 feet of ore, six feet of which, on the hanging wall. averages better than 50S in gold sil. yer, and lead. The whole vein will make an excellent milling proposition.
