 KINGMAN, Feb. 5.-Plans for tue merging of the Tom Reed Gold Mines and the United Eastern Mining com panies. which have been under dis cussion by the officials of the two corporations for about month. have failed. Official announcements of that effect have just been made from the offices of the two companies in Oat- man. It was further stated at the United Eastern office that the erection of the proposed mill on it's ground will now be pushed with all possible visor
 The plant will have an initial cap acity of POO tons or ore daily but will be son constructed that additions can easily and quickly be made. A 5O-fcot gallows frame has been erect ed on the new or No. three-compart- meBt shaft of the Tinted Easter-. s2d a full complement of powerful machin- cry will soon be installed. It Is quite probable that sinking operations ia this shaft will be resumed at the 40-foot point within the next ten days or two weeks. It will be sent down to the s00-foot point with all possible despatch. Although no official in formation is ob,ainable. it is learned that the new ore body revealed about six weeks ago On the 1175-foot levei of the main shaft of the Tom Reed continues to respond splendidly to de- velopment and that still another Eew strike has been made recently on the 30O-foot level of the same shaft
 Argo.
 The management of the Argo has made somewhat of a record in the in stallation of it's mechanical equip ment. including a 46-foot gallows frame. 25 horsepower gasoline hoist and 300 cubic foot compressor. With in four days after its arrival on the ground recently the entire outfit was installed and placel into service. In addition to the equipment. two car loads of mine timbers have arrived and will be used in the shaft work. which has already reached the 75-foot point on it's way to the 400-foot level. at which depth it will only be neces- sary to cross cut about 25 feet in a southeasterly direction to intersecr the main vein of the property A force of 12 miners is at present em- ployed.
 Casey Jones
 The Casey Jones management has purchased for it's east shaft a 35- horsepower gasoline hoist and 300 cubic foot compressor, which will be delivered on the ground within the next ten days. The shaft is down 27 feet. the bottom in spar and quartz that assays S2.s5 per ton. It will be put down to a depth of 300 feet be- fore laterad work is inaugurated. The weste shaft. which will be sent to similar depth. has passed the 35-foor point. Sinking in this shaft is being prosecuted with a windlass which will be replaced in the near future by gasoline hoist
 oO0UodtJ So'c.
 The Boundary Cone is making pre- parations to immediately continue it's main shaft from the $50 to the 750- foot level. In drifting east distance of 450 feet on the former level. the management has exposed an ore shoot 15O feet in length and l5 feet in width that averages $14 per ton.
