taken from the Leland mine and re- moved to the Walsh property, near Gold Road, where $. R. Porter Is working a force of men. The shaft on the Walsh property has reached depth where heavier hoisting ma chinery is necessary and the removal of the holster to that place was de- cided upon The work on this prop erty has been carried on consistently and the miner boys report good things from it.
 E.. M. Lamont, who with his family had been staying on the coast the past several months. stopped off in King man last Saturday. It is understood that this visit of Mr Lamont portends the early resumption of work on the BiMetal mines, south of ltingman, and the addition to the present milling plant, bringing the daily tonnage up to at least 3OO With big plant the BiMetal would become as famous as the Treadwell or the Father DcSmet. The ore is of grade that would re- turn several dollars per ton over and above the cost of extraction and mill. ing. The people of Kingman would
 be pleased to have this big plant in operation and the business men would
 give it their aid and moral support.
 A report is current in Kingman that the Clark interests are to build a
 smelter in Kingman for the handling
 of lead and copper ores. The smelter
 is to be erected either within the
 limits of Kingman valley or within a
 few miles of it. The impression is
 that the ores of the Copper Giant are
 such that they cannot be used for the
 purpose for which the mine was first
 taken over and that with some ad-
 ditonal the property could well sup port a smeltery. With smelter close to the mines of this county suc- cess would be assured to many mines that are now having struggle for existence. The Clark people could
 certainly maintain shelter here il they considered conditions right, as g they have the money to do thing: , with and know how to do the business f Kingman would become one of tht n greatest places in the state with ; f smelter and other things that smete 6 would bring it, therefore we invite I the smeltery with open arms.
