is getting the property in great shape to produce a large tonnage. The mine is in better shape than ever before in it's history.
 J. A. Prewitt paid visit to Los An geles this week in the interest of his mining operation to the south of King man. He has been opening up a nice gold property the past year and now has everything in good shape.
 Andy Suffer was in from Layne Springs Thursday last and reports that the work on the Caffery property is showing splendid results. Some of the ore exhibited is rich in lead and copper. He says the ore streak is large and continuous.
 The assembling of the mill at the old Foothills mines is going forward rapid ly and it will be in commission shortly. Water is to be taken to the mine from the wells at Boulder Springs, that point being about one hundred feet higher than the Foothills mines. The mill will be a complete gold plant, amalgama- tion and cyaniding being the methods by which the gold will be recovered.
 In and around Chloride there are many mining properties that might be made profitable by the installation of pf plant. Practically all the mines there carry lead and zinc values and with the proper plant these values could be separated and commercial product turned out.
 l.. Hoffman came in from the Ariz- ona Southwestern Copper company's property at Copperville, Thursday last, and reports that everything is moving along nicely and that it will be but a short time until another level will be run on the ore body. The sinking of several hundred feet on this property will give it enough backs to keep big mill in commission several years.
 J. J. Connolley came in from his Bob- tail basin mines a few days ago and re- ported that he had cut nine feet of shipping ore in the shaft. The ore will average better than POS in gold, silver and copper. Some mining men have been looking over the property and it is possible they will take it over. The mine appears to be one of the best propositions in the district
 s. R. Porter, of the Pittsburg Min ing company, was Kingman visitor last Sunday. He has been suffering with rheumatism the past month, but appears to be improving in health. MT. Porter is managing the Pittsburg property and is getting good results. When the new machinery is in working order the big shaft will be sunk to a depth several hundred feet below the present level. The work so far shows the mine to have great merit, and the directors believe they have another Tom Reed in prospect.
 Ed Williams is in Kingman from his tungsten mines and reports that mill run on the ore showed big results. The mine was recently bonded to MT. Brockunier, of Grass Valley, Califor- mia, but it is probable that the prop erty will go to another party now on the ground. MT. Brockunier recently | took over Nevada property that is said to be high grade tungsten bear CT and the company is getting to work it. The Williams mines are among the richest ore producers in the coun- try, the product sent to the shelter being about seventy per cent.
 George w. Long of the United East ern Mining company, has been in King man several days this week placing stock of that corporation with local people. Within few hours last Tues day 3,000$ worth of the stock was sold at the cellar price of 25 cents per share. It is the intention to place on the mar ket enough of the stock at this figure to equip the mine and to do the initial work, when the shares will be advanc- ed to a higher figure. Those who have investigated the property have invested , in the company shares and are enthusi- astic over the showing in the Tom Reed vi tc nf
