Kingman. Ariz., Sept 27.-Develop-
ments have been resumed at the Pitts
burg mine. better known as the Walsh,
west of Gold Road. S. R. Porter, one
of the most successful mining men OF

feet as soon as possible
Orders have been received by Mr..
Porter to start work on the Leland
mines which are controlled by syn
dicate with which he is associated. He
expects to have a force at work by
Oct. 1.
Important determinations are being
made in the old Distaff mine, at Chlor-
ide. Splendid silver-lead ore is being
taken from the 100 foot level, below
the adit drift.
The weekly bar of bullion from the
Gold Road mine was worth s17,5OO. 1t
is understood that within a short time
the production of the mill will be
greatly increased The bars now be-
ing sent to the mint more than meet
all the expenses of the extensive de-
Velopment work that is going on.
May Not Sell International.

the International Mines company in
the George Washington group, at Min
eral Park, as been postponed till Octo-
her 25. A settlement of the company's

ment of high grade ore from his mines
east of Mineral Park. high up on the
Cerbat range His ore carries silver,
copper and gold.
Take Over blackberry Mine.
Qualey Bros, and I. a. Dockery have
entered a deal for the taking over OF
the old blackberry mine. This mine was
one of the first to be operated in Mo-
have county and it produced great
deal of rich ore.
Ross D. McCauseland has opened sew
eraI feet of copper ore in a Mineral
Park wash property tat he holds under
bond. He is bending all efforts to-
ward reaching the water level. If the
ore continues down to water the mine
is a valuable one.
The ore body on the 600 foot level
of the Tennessee mine is increasing IN
size and value as the drifts are ex-
tended along the ore zone. The width
is increasing gradually and a small
increase in gold and silver values, as
well as copper, is noticeable.
Copper Giant Improving.
At the Copper Giant mine station
has been cut at the 800 foot level and
drifts are being run off in both diree-
tions on the vein. In one drift eight
feet Of splendid copper ore has been
opened, while indications are promis-
ing in the other drift The dump is
piled high with ore and the bunkers
are being rushed to completion. Ore
is now being hauled to blackberry, the
nearest railroad station, from which
point it is shipped to the jerome
smelter. AS soon as the bunkers are
finished and the railroad siding at
Valentine, somewhat nearer the mine,
is in shape, a carload of ore will be
shipped each day.
Rush Work in NevadalArizOna.
Work is being rushed IN the Luck
now shaft OF the Nevada Arizona Mines
company, where a fine body of high
grade milling ore was recently en-
countered below the 200 foot level.
Samples taken from this ore body ran
to S25 and the lowest assay was above
