 Gaddis & Perry company. T. R. Garner and H. N. Honeywell have optionally sold to G. H. Hyland and associates their interests in the St. Louis group of mines, at Cerbat. A payment was made to the owners and work is to be commenced at once. Msssrs. Braley and Suffer are get ting some fine ore in the Gallery prop erty, at Layns Springs. About one ton daily of the shipping ore is being taken from the drift. The high ore car ries high values in copper, gold and silver. A carload will soon be ready for shipment to the shelter.
 The work of unwatering the Schuyl- xiii mine, at Chloride, Is under way and as soon as it can be examined and sampled it is probable that it will be taken over by Portland, Oregon, people. These same people have an option on the old Distaff mine and are putting in a compressor and drills, as well as a concentrating plant. It is reported that O. F. Kuencer and associates are soon to unwater the old Golden Star mine, at Cerbat, and sink to another level. This mine pro- duced a large amount of gold ore while it was in the hands of T. L. Ayers, and later was consistent pro. ducer in the hands of the Golden Star company. It is to be expected that new work will surely open up nice ore body.
 James M. Hill, of the U. s. Geologi- cal Survey. has just issued nono- graph on the Grand Gulch section, which is well worth reading. The paper goes into the formation, eco- homie conditions, geology, mineraliza ton and the "Bibleography" of the "Red Beds". The Grand Gulch is one of the most peculiar ore bearing sec tion of the United States, the copper appearing in the Coconno sandstones, and lying on the benches along the fracture planes.
 Work on tho Cooper Giant continues to show up excellent ore bodies. William Neagle, who has charge of the mines and who was in Kingmao last Sunday. reports that tests have been made on the ore with a view to concentration that give wonderful re- suits. The most satisfactory result was that obtained by the use of willy wet tables and the vacuum oil process, practically all values being saved.
 William Lieberknecht, a mill man of Los Angeles, is assem bling the ma. chnery for the Lusk mill, at the old Fay mines. The mill will have about 25-tons daily capacity and will amalga- { mate and cyanide the ores from the ID inc. Water is to be brought in from the springs at Granite Springs, wells being sunk at that place to in- sure goodly supply. The three cars of machinery are on the sldetrack at Hancock and will be hauled over to the mine as fast as possible. Mr. Lusk informs us that the mine shows some excellent ore bodies.
 H. l.. Stewart came in from the mines of the Nevada Arizona Gold mines company, at Music Noun tain. bringing with him some of the ore struck in the crosscut from the 40J level. This ore shows free gold all through it and from the pan nings taken of the rich streak, it will be good for better than lO0O$ to the ton. The vein at the 400 is about eight feet wide, two feet of which is pay, besides the eight inch streak. The management is jubilant, as well are the miners at work on the deep level. At all the other places the mine shows wonderful values, and the indications are that as soon as the 400 levels are run and the ore bodies blocked out the milling plant will be in shape to go into com mission.
