bar Of bullion from the Gold Road mill last Monday.
 J. $. Porter. who is the owner of mining property in the Big Bend country. is visiting in Kingman. He believes that the Big Bend section has wonderful future, the veins of ore being large and well mineralized in gold, silver and copper.
 C. G. Atlee now makes his head quarters in Kingman, being able to drive in from the mine, in IXL Basin in about one hour. Heretofore he had to travel by horseback to Chloride for mail and supplies. He reports that within a short time there will be something doing on the mines in IXL Basln..
 c. V. Hopkins, field engineer of the United Verde company, took look over the copper deposit of Tom Me Nicely, near Mineral Park, this week This deposit is quite large and carries big percentage of silica, besides cop- per, gold and silver. The United Verde shelter needs silica for con- verter lining and it is supposed that the deposit will be used for that pur- pose.
 P. McCardell, the well known mln- cnn hoe fo hA of the Gold Reed Mining X Milling company's property, near Oatman, where he will make a survey of the property for patent. The mines have been exploited to a considerable depth and splendid ore has been opened up in them. H. H. Shuck has had charge of the work and has gotten good re- suits for his expenditures.
 MT. and Mrs. w. A. Studley were in from the mines at IXL Basin this week. Mr. Studley has been doing the assessment work on the mines the wagon road from the c. o. D. road to point short distance below his property. The mines owned by Mir. Studley are among the best in the dis. trct snd only need small amount of work to put them in the producing class.
 l., Hoffman was over to Oatman this week to look over the road between that place and Topock, from which point the Tom Reed company has to haul it's freight. The road between the camp and Topock is now almost completed and as soon as it is in shape warehouses will be put in and about one hundred tons of freight shipped over the new road monthly by thls company. The distance is about the same as from kingman and it would be possible to haul from here at low CT rate, if the road over the mountain was improved and the grade cut ma terially.
 This week Charles Gracey reln-
 
 mines to his nephews, and it is said that the new management has mapped out campaign of development that should soon bring results to that prop. erty. Mir. Gracey has always had great faith in the Klondike and the general belief is that the property can 10 m a6 @ h ith hn pendture of a few thousand dollars. Before it's purchase by MT. Gracey the mine produced considerable high grade ore that was shipped to the sDelter through the old Kingman sampling works. With the opening of this ore body at lower depth it is be- lieved that something good will be found.
 A. B. Calhoun. superintendent of the Arabian Con. Mines company, was in from the property the first of the week and went out Wednesday afternoon last in company of Hon. T. G. Norris. one of the old owners. It is reported that three shafts have been sunk on the big vein to depths ranging from 70 to los feet In the latter shaft a level has been run off on the ore body from the 100 and that the values were found to be very high, From present indications the mine is to be another Tom Reed, the ore being almost as rh in nd ha L.:
