 WORKING PROPERTIES
IFrom wednesday'e Daily MinsrI


 The Arizona Wallapai Mining com pany has a force of men at work on its properties in the Wallapai noun tains, about fifteen miles east of Kingman. Charles Metcalfe was formerly the owner of the properties and is looking after the work.
 A shaft is being sunk on one of the veins, known as the Dayton, and at a depth of eight feet has exposed a fine body of silver ore. Assays as high as 500 ounces in silver have been obtained from the hole. The shaft is to be sunk to a considerable depth by hand and later a hoist will be put in to go below the water level. The com pany is also the owner of the old Wheeler claim, one of the notable silver-lead properties of the noun tains. It has been opened up by tun- nel to a depth of about 100 feet and good ore was found the entire length. The properties are well situated for active work and development can be carried on at small expense, there being plenty of timber in the vicinity for all mining purposes.
