 Joe Mitch is prosecuting develop, ment work on the Eclipse group which is situated near the Typhoon In which the rich strike was recently made. The shaft has attained depth of 2l0 feet and the crosscut from the bottom has cut into the vein. The latter is we'll defined and up to date the cross cut is in feet and only one wall in sight.
 Bierce x McNeely have disclosed an enormous body of good ore in their property at Mineral Park. Heretofore a long drift has been advanced some- thing like 700 feet, but this work not being entirely satisfactory, it was de- terminsd to return to within 100 feet of the mouth of thls drift and drive down winze, which was done, and at a depth of 65 feet the vein was en- countered. A crosscut both ways from the bottom of this winze has opened up 45 feet of good commercial ore. Thls development is quite important for it shows that the ore body is we'll defined at a depth of l25 feet below the apex of the lode.
 Robert Brannock, one of the best known mining men in Mohave county is in Kingman for few days. He re- ports the Union Pass section extremely lively, everybody at work. conse- quently happy. The Mines Company of America, which recently took an option on the great Arabia group, is prosecuting work vigorously, and five shafts are going down on the rich ore body. These shafts are from 60 to l05 feet in depth and all in ore of good milling grade. Thirty men are on the pay roll. At a depth of 80 feet in one of the shafts strong volume of water was cut into. A pumping plant will probably be installed at an early day,
 w. P. Mahoney, a mining engineer, is in from the Boundary Cone section aud gives good report of operations in that field. Experts have been at work examining tho ores in order to determine the character of plant to iu. stall for recovering the values ln the ores of the Boundary Cone Mining company, and it is probable that a re- duction plant will be installed within the next 50 days. On the 50O-foot level rich shoot has been opened up 12O feet long and the full width of the drift It is now proposed to advance an up- raise from this level to the 400 level passing through the very rich stringer heretofore opened up on the 4OO.
 Quite an important development has been made in the Typhoon group situated between Union and Secret Passes, and owned by Robert Roe. John Olsen and Henry Lovin. The main drift was advanced l25 feet on the vein and has disclosed very rich shoot of gold bearing material This vein averages feet in width and
