gold ore in his mining claim at Cerbat. The orc will run over lOOs to the ton and the gold is free.
 Mir. Beauchamp, who is interested with James Dundon Tn the mine at Union Basin, is said to have about r. O0OS worth of gold orc on the dump and has a wonderful showing in sight. The ore will run about 25OS to the ton. With a milling plant this mine would be a good producer. ...
 Pete Ferra and others have taken a lease on the London mine, at Union Pass and have put in little mill. The crushing arrangement is an old Cornish roll, so arranged that while one of the rolls is stationary the other . revolves, crushing the ore to quite . degree Of fneness. A good saving is made of the values by amalgamation, The ore from the London is rich and 1t is quite possible that with a better milling plant considerable money could be made.
 A. L. McKesson has discovered big vein of silver orc in the butte west of Wallapai station. Samples taken from this vein show heavy in horn silver, the general characteristic of the ore being the same as that of White Hills. He states that no sign exists of any person ever having been on the vein. Assays are being made today of the ore and if it is as rich IS the samples would indicate Mir. McKesson will actively develop the property. The locality in which the mine is found has often impressed the writer and his belief is that something good will come of this strike.
 Joseph Pavalista, one of the owners of the tungsten mines at the Copper World, was a Kingman visitor this week, coming in to attend to business matters. He reports that the shaft on the mires has reached a depth of 90 feet and that ten feet of ore had been cut. The shaft was started on a ten inch stringer and has gradually widen. ed out until it is one of the best show ings of ore in the country. The ore isl high grade and should soon be in shape to ship to market. MT. Pava- lista and associates have a large group of these mines under location and be- lieve they have one of the best tung- sten properties in the country. The ore is hubnerite.
 R. c. Jacobson is working out an analganator for the Pruitt mill, near Boulder Springs. This mill has been trying out . cyaniding scheme. but with small success. Plates are also used, but only about ten per cent of the values in the ore IS saved. The ore appears to be free milling, the gold showing big in the pan. but quick does not seem to have any affinity for it. After going over the plates the tails are found to contain as high as 1908 to the ton. There is no reason why the values in the ore cannot be saved by amalgamation, although it may be necessary to regrind the ore to get it. The ore is a heavy iron oxide. In the mine the rich streak of ore is from four to six inches wide and about four tons daily is mined
 w. D. GrannIs, Charles H. Wagener. David J. Hogue and H. J. Royal came up from Deluge Wash, last Wednes- day, where they have been examining tho property of the Arizona Venture Corporation. MT. Hogue went out the following day to the Tom Reed camp, being interested in that property, while MT. Royal went to his home in Pasadena. Mr. Wagener, who is the secretary and treasurer of the cor poration, departed Wednesday night to England, where he will report to his company on the conditions at the mine. He is of the opinion that the Venture mines are among the best in the county and that the development now under way will open immense bodies of ore. Tho company has been hauling out great amount of ma. chinery and the first of the week lum- Der and timber for the camp will be hauled by truck to the Sandy, whence it will be hauled by team to the mines. At the mines big hoisting plant has
