mineral surveyor, made a trip to the Colorado river, at Gregg's Ferry, where he looked over mining ground, returning Thursday last.
 Harry LeClair, accompanied by w. w. Wishon, mining engineer, ar rived in Kingman few days ago from Los Angeles. They will look over the mining section of the county the next few weeks.
 Henry Strawbele is in town from his Mendocina claims, at Layne Springs, where he has been doing con- siderable work. He has nearly car load of ora on the dump ready for shipment to the shelter and the ship ment will be made shortly. This ore carries good values in copper, gold and silver. The vein IS one of the best in that section and ought to be in the hands of good com pany.
 w. D. Grannis came in from Los Angeles and Pasadena few days ago and will go down to the mines in the lower end of Deluge Wash some time next week. He is having large amount of lumber and mining machin- cry hauled to the mines and already has the property equipped with hoist plant and compressor. The big shaft is to be pushed downward as fast as msn and machinery can do the work.
 George Roper, representing it is said. the Tonopah- Belmont people. has taken bond on the Pilgrim mines and will at once equip the property with a compressor and other machin- cry. He went to the coast few days ago to make the purchase of the ma chinery and will have it on the ground within the next thirty days. The Pill grim is one of the best looking prop critics in the Weaver district and it is to be hoped that this big corporation will make good on it.
 This week R. c. Jacobson received
 
 from the Whale vein, of the Copper Canyon group about 60 pounds of solid moly bdenite, which was taken from a small vein running into the porphyry footwall. The breast of the drift still shows big in copper, but the expected change to chacopyrite is not entirely in evidence, the vein showing traces of oxidation and teaching, The drift IS now in about 200 feet and is more than that distance below the apex.
 Last Saturday the option covering the deal on the Walkover mines, at Brownsville, was signed up and it is understood that work will soon be under way on the mines The Dudley brothers are among the largest mine operators in the country and are sure to work this property in a big way. The sale price of the mine. it is re. ported, is S0.000S. The vein is one of the best in the east part of the county and carries excellent values in gold. Considerable ore has been shipped from tine property to the smelters and an arastra has ground out several nice bars Os bullion.
 A meeting of the. board of directors of the Arizona Southwestern Cooper company will be held at Copperville on the 1lth of this month. at which time arrangements will be perfected for the resumption of work on the mines. The management has long wanted to sink the main shaft 200 feet deeper, which has long been recog. nized as a necessity. The ore In the present workings indicates that they are Just on the top of the shoot and that it is imperative that greater depth be reached to prove up the mine. The property is well equipped for deep work and it is to be hoped that the company will see its way clear to provide the means for further development along these lines.
