 George B. Ayers came in from Gold Road Thursday last with shipment of bullion, the cleanup of the past week. which was valued at 1S,000S.
 R. M. Richardson was in from his mines at Cerbat this week, and re ports that everything is looking all right in that part of the district.
 Peter Caffery has been driving a tunnel on the big vein to the west. of the Alpha and is now in splendid ore. The ore now fills the drift and to judge from appearances should be high grade in gold and silver, as well as lead.
 J. C. Lane this week received handsome specimen of wire silver from the old Distaff mine, at Chloride. The ore was heavy lead. but the wires of silver are to be seen running all through the lead and gangue, giving it beautiful appearance. Leasers are working on the mine and making good money
 Charles Biesel general manager of the Mines Company of America, came in from Fl PasO yesterday and depart ed to the Arabian mine, at Union Pass, where he will look that property over. The Arabian is the only property in the United States operated by this company, all it's other holdings being in Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico.
 John Angle, superintendent of the old Blackberry mine, is in Klngman. He reports that great flow of water has been encountered in the property and that large pump will have to be installed before work is resumed. The shaft has reached depth of TO feet when the water in volume was struck The big pump at the Pinkham is being removed to the Hack berry and will saon be throwing water to the surface.
 James w. Quinn came in from his mining camp in Grant & McGeary wash few days ago and reports that he has opened splendid body of ore on one of the big veins. The ore gives values in gold, gilver and copper, but io is showing up. The vein Is very large, showing across about 100 feet, copper outcrop coming through the vein fill ing in many places. MT. Quinn be- lieves this property will be one of the big things of the north end of the Wallapais, as it is conveniently situ- of the best mineralized sections of the district He has done considerable work on the property the past year and now has a fine showing of ore.
 T, Walter Beam, of Denver. visited the first of this week. It is under stock that he represents the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and the Rocke- feler interests and that the company is figuring on the Frisco mines. These properties are really the greatest gold bearing mines in this country ana it is to be hoped that big financial interests take them over and work them in a large way. Even if the ores were low CT in grade than that claimed for them the property would still be an i'm mense one. Mr. Beam has looked over many other properties in this county and is well posted on the big veins in the Black range.
 The new shaft on the Golconda is going down toward the 600 level and as soon as a new station is cut drifts will be carried out into the ore bear ing ground and stopes opened. It is said that the showing in this property is immense, and while zlnc is low in the market this ore is so ideal that money can be made from It at any point above five cents. With big plant and the mine opened several hundred feet deeper it would be one of the greatest mines in the state All the surrounding veins are ore bearing, values being carried in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, while that of the Golconda vein proper is larpely zinc yalneS All tbeSe moto ls
