tention to sink it to a depth of 200
feet as the first lift, the shaft is ex-
pected to pass through the vein at
about the 150-foot point. Two hun
dred feet west of the shaft on the
surface six feet of good ore has been
exposed. Picked specimens from the
find show free gold. The property
will soon be equipped with a 25-
horsepower gasoline hoist.
Drifting east and west continues
on the 500-foot level of the Gold Ore
property at Goldroad. Both drifts
are being advanced on faces of ex-
cellent ore.
Wallapai District
The operations of the Union Basin
Mining company at it's Golconda
mine at Golconda, in the Wallapai
district, 20 miles north of Kingman,
have in the past attracted the atten-
ton and are at present increasing
the interest of the mining world
ty, with the result that there is now
greater activity on the western
slope of the Cerbat range of noun
tains than for twenty years.
The latest event of Importance in
connection with the Golconda mine is
ten cents per share upon the out
standing scock of the company. The
total disbursement amounted to
about SIS, 900. 1t was the second
dividend of the same size paid by
the company since N. L.. Amster OF
troll of the mine about June 1 last.
The two dividends were paid not
withstanding the fact that the COM
pany is at present expanding $780,
600 in the erection of a 200-ton ca
pacity oil flotation plant at the prop
erty, in addition to extending to it
from Kingman a high-power electric
line.
1t is expected that the flotation
plant and power line will be COM
pleted and in commission by the
middle of January. The force ELL
ployed at the mine numbers 265 men
and the company is producing be-
tween 5000, 900 and $250,000 gross
monthly. The main shaft has reach
ed the 90O-foot point and a station
is now being cut at hat depth, pre-
liminary to extensive lateral opera
tions.

adjoining on the north the Golconda
mine, the management is combining
operations to the main working shalt,
which is being sunk from the $50
foot level to the 4OO-foot point. Since
beginning work recently. the con
tractors have gained about 80 feet
and are making as rapid Roadway as
is possible with three shifts of min
ers and machine drills.
Maynard District
On account of a sudden inflow OF
water, measuring about $500 gal
lons per day, Manager w. L. Mac
Kay of the Arizona Tellurium Mines
company has temporarily suspended
at the 60-foot point sinking opera
lions in the new main working shaY.
and is now giving attention to the
extension of e cross-cut tunnel which
will tap the main vein and drain off
the water at Il point considerably
lower than the present bottom OF
the shaft. Work in the tunnel was
resumed at the 1O0-foot point re-

ed 60 feet.

While the report or the Tonopah
Extension Mining company for this
week is of it's usual interesting ma
tire, the most encouraging feature
contained in it is the probability that
the raise which will be put up from

shaft. When these workings ha
been connected it will mean that for
the first time since development was
undertaken in this western territory,
the union of the original Extension
territory and the Victor ground has
been completed in the underground
workings.
The significance of this for the
practicable and economical working
of the entire territory owned by TIL
Extension is thoroughly understood
and appreciated by all those interest

and the consummation of the work
will be a great achievement on the
part of the management which, in the
