 J. J. Connolly came in from his bo- nanza at Bobtail Basin yesterday. He has shipped another car of ore to the Copper Queen shelter and expects better results than that obtained from the other carload.
 s. c. Bagg came in from Los An geles Monday last and departed to the Cyclopic mine the same day. Mr. Bagg has been operating this prop erty for some years and has made it pay. It is understood that large op. erating company will soon take hold of the mines.
 A hoisting plant and pump are being placed on the Walkover mine, near the Copper Giant. This claim has been shipper of gold ore and it is said that many thousands of dollars in ore now lies on the dump. This ore IS to be shipped to the United Verde shelter as soon as possible. Within a few weeks the sinking of the main shaft will be commenced and it is probable that greater bodies of ore will be found below the ore change.
 Last week w. p. Garrison and fam. fly passed through Klngman on their way to their home in Pasadena. Mr. Garrison has spent ten days at the Hercules and Badger mines, at Chlor, ide, on which contracts have Just been let to drive the adit drift several hun dred feet into the mountain on the vein, The showing in the property, as reported by the deputy State Mine Examiner, is excellent, the ore body showing good values throughout.
 Mike Hoffman came over from Chlo- ride the first of the week and went down to take look at the big ore bodies in the mines at Copperville. He was thoroughly satisfied with what he saw and believes that they have the greatest mine in the state. One of the surprises was lack of water at that place, the stream in the canyon hay ing practically dried up. When he went to the mlne few years ago fine stream of water was found flowing over the falls above the present mill site and it did not seem to lessen during the dry season.

 A great strike is reported from the Ollie Oatman mining claim, of the Tom Reed group. This shaft has reached depth of 400 feet and the drifts from this level are said to have encountered this high grade material. Specimens of the ore are said to be filled with coarse gold. The company is also drifting along the 800 level from the Tom Reed main shaft to reach lower level of the Ollie Oat. man and raise through that ground for air.

 Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Shuck came up from Needles Sunday evening and looked after business in Kingman the following day. Mr. Shuck is putting in an electric holster at the Jupiter shaft, as well as an electric pump and compressor. This property is owned by the Gold Reed Mining company, Bisbee mining men being largely interested. The shaft has reached a depth of 235 feet and crosscuts through the vein show four feet of ore that ranges in value from 3.25$ to 5.9OS, al though the vein was cut at point where only low values were expected. As soon as the drift can be driven under the pay ore it is expected some- thing big will be found. The company is to press development and it is ex.
