 George w. Long was a Kingman visitor Monday last, coming here to transact important mining business.
 Dick Banks, who is interested in min ing property in the Wallapais, and which is now under option to A. F. Frazier, is in town. He reports that the mines are proving up well aud that with further work these properties ought to become the big producers of the county.
 Mrs. Florence Kiessig is looking after the affairs of the Enterprise Mining Improvement and Development com pany, having gone to the mines last week. Mrs. Keissig expects to get the affairs of the company strengthened out and the company resuming opera tions within short time.
 JdiiSo T. WCihic, oupSIHiICIoChe VI the Nevada Arizona Gold Mines com pany was in from Music mountain this week. The mill on the property is giving good results and the new ma chine drills are working out fine. The company has opened some splendid ore bodies in the properties and is still con f,pu,pc av,>loro tor, xyorly
 Joseph Winchester, who made the Doctor-Jackpot the great mine that it was. is interesting himself in the Oat- man district. MT. Winchester is much impressed with the possibilities of the district and is likely to go in there in a big way. This county needs men of the capacity of MT. Winchester and we are pleased to have him shy his "castor" into the game.
 R. H. Postlethwaite, w. D. O'Brien and w. A. Sage returned the first of the week from the Pilgrim mine, where it is understood they took some samples and looked the property over for their clients. The gentlemen are mining en- gineers of note and are expected to map out big campaign of exploration for the company now operating the mines.
 Col. J. c. Swickard and Columbus Ross this week departed to the hills, where they will put in some time pros pecting for the elusive treasure. The men are well equipped prospectors, having spent many years of their lives in the mountains and desert seeking gold and other of the valuable metals. Col. Swickard was the discoverer of the Quartette mine, at Searchlight and sold it when it was a mere prospect.
 Lane c. Gillian, who has been opera ting in Mexico until the present un- . pleasantness blew over that unfortu- nate country, is examining property in the Oatman country. MT. Gillian was interested some years ago in Mo- have county mines with Capt. H. c. Thompson, but the financial end of the company fell down and the work was abandoned, although the property was all right. MT. Gillian is one of the best men in the mining game today and we hope he will get interested in some- thing worth while.
 w. H. Wise, a Spokane mining man, accompanied by c. J. Rhoades, of Los Angeles, looked over the work on the old Victor-Virgin ground, recently taken over from A. l.. White. The shaft on the Victor is to be put in good shape and crosscuts run to the ore bodies in the other veins from the 800 level. It is the belief that with few hundred feet greater depth the Victor property will again be in valuable ore, as it was practically abandoned when lean ore was struck below the 300. All the other veins that have been sunk on below the older andesite have made good and we do not think the Victor
