laced together with wire silver, and also carries big percentage of lead.
 R. S. Baverstock and E. E. Fuller, who came here week ago to make examination of tho Miller mining interests at Silver Creek, were in Kingman few days ago. MT. Baver- stock was formerly a resident of Chlo- ride, being with the old Elkhart com pany during the management of that property by Dr. Comstock.
 P. McCardell came in from the mines of the Nevada Arizona Gold Mines company, at Music Mountain, Thursday evening last, having sur vsyed the group for patent. The mines comprise group of sixteen claims, upon which great deal of work has been done in the past sev- eral years and on which quite force of men is now at work.
 Leonard Hoffman paid visit to the Union Pass section this week and was we'll pleased with the outlook of the mines. Union Pass has some big prop critics and with development carried on in big way should soon become heavy producers of gold. At the pres snt time the Arabian mines are show ing good and the company back of the enterprise is financially capable of putting them on their feet. In the same region are many other mines that could be brought into the producing class.
 Senator Clark is making round of the mines of the state, with a view, it is understood, of getting at the true conditions of the coppers. The United Verde shelter at Clarkdals is to be blown in sometime in April and after that time this big corporation will be in tho market for copper ores. Mo- have county will then be able to con- tribute largely of the copper ores that have been overlooked the past years, and big revenue returned to the mine owners. With a copper shelter at Clarkdale and a lead stack at Needles the mines of the Cerbat and Wallapai mountain districts should get into the limelight.
 Vidal w. Garesche, city attorney of St. Louis, and George w. Mark, for merly U. s. Assayer of that city, ar. rived in Kingman last Saturday night on the flyer. The gentlemen came here to look after the interest of the stockholders in the Orc Plata mine and to try to straighten out it's tangled agairs. They spent day at the mine and then went on to Los Angeles. The gentlemen expect to return to Kingman next week and will get line up on the method of settlement and possibly arrange for the operation of the property. The Orc Plata is one of the best old mines of the county and it is to be hoped that it will again be operated.
 w. H. Smith has been out to the Red Gap mine. where the owners are now doing some exploratory work. A nice body of ore has been opened in one of the drifts from which assays away up in the hundreds of dollars have been taken. Kean and John St. Charles and others are the owners. The mine is similar to the Frisco Gold mines, at Union Pass, the dip of the vein being the same and in many other ways a like deposit. In our view this property ought to become one of the big gold producers of this county, the ore and values being there. It occurs to us that the management of the property was not the best, as the faulting could easily be traced out and the vein cut farther back in the hills.
 Fred Brown came up from the Me- Cracken country Thursday last, bring ing with him some splendid samples of gold ore. During the past two months he has been prospecting to the north of the McCracken mines and has traced out the big dike that cuts that country and along its course he discovered great vein of gold bear ing ore. Samples from the vein show big in the horn spoon and also leaves considerable concentrates that are be- lieved to have good values in both
