Special to The Review:
 KINGMAN, Ariz.. February 26-The famous ore body of the United Eastern mine at Oatman measures 39 feet, be- tween walls on the new 665-foot level. The north crosscut which first exposed it about two weeks ago reached the hanging wall of the vein several days ago. since which time more than 25 feet of drifting both northwest and southeast in the ore body has been accomplished. Beyond the declaration that assays being obtained check up" with those found in the explOra- tiOn of the ore body on the 3O6. 465 and 765-foot levels. General Manager George w. Long has not made public the averages values shown in the cross cut or in the drifts being advanced there from the new level. He inti- mates however. that the exposure of the shoot at the shoot at the new depth has increased the value of the available tonnage of ore in the mine at this time by s4.00O.000 or to an estimate total of from S14.000.000, to S16,0O0. 900. Manager Long is conf dent that on the new level the shoot will be proven as long as development work has shown it 10 be ,on the b65 and 555-foOt levels. namely, 650 feet. The south drift on the new level will be advanced to the boundary line of the property in that direction from the shaft. a distance of 3S0 feet. To the north of the shaft the management can drift several thousand feet before passing out it's property. While he does not now anticipate that drifting in that direction will be prosecuted to that extent. Manager Long plans not only to fully prove up the present know nore body but to endeavOr to show up more shoots of pay rock on the new level. On account of the vastness of the holdings of the com pany. it is quite probable that his aims will be crowned with success. In order 10 facilitate operations at shaft No. !. through which all devel- opment work has thus far been prose cuted, a 6O-hOrsepOwer gasoline hoist to replace the present 22-horsepower outfit has been ordered and it is eX- pected to arrive on the ground within the next thirty days. As practically all preliminary work has been com pleted. operations at the new or No. shaft are at present at a standstill pending the arrival of the l50-horse- power double-drum electric hoist and transformers ordered for it. These are expected to arrive any day andj their installation. as we'll as that of 1000 cubic foot compressor. recently re- ceived, will immediately follow.
 Rex.
 An average of about three feet every 24 hours is being made by the three shifts of miners employed in sinking the double-compartment shaft to the 5OO-foot point on the Rex property. The shaft now measures about 250 feet in depth. As soon as the new equipment for No. shaft on the United Eastern mine arrives and is installed. the hoist at present being used there. a 22-horsepower gasoline outfit will be moved jo the Rex shaft to replace the present l5-horsepower equipment. At the same time an air compressor and machine drills will he installed and it will he possible to make great

 Telluride.
 The new three-compartment verti- cal shaft recently started on the Tellu- ride. which is designed to go to a depth of 500 feet, has passed the 40- foot point Within the next week or ten days the mechanical equipment on the old shaft. including 4O-horse- power gasoline hoist and 100 cubic foot will he moved to the new bore and placed in commission.
