taken over recently by socaT and Los | Angeles mining people. Since then the | old workings have been cleaned out, i the shaft retimbered to a depth of 300 | feet. and the ore bodies developed to | warrant the mining and milling of ore. | The ore is silver and leac, and prevail | generally throughout the mine work ings Ed Block of Prescott owner oi the property for more than a decade, | retains an interest with the present | operators. w.

 The recent closing of a deal for the Monica mine in the Kirkland country has quickened mining activity and stimulated the demand for mining properties there. Among the more re- cent transfers is the Stein copper group 10 the Lucky Strike Go. The McMahon mine is again in the produc- tive class and will send out two car loads of ore the latter part of this month. The old Nesuvius mine is once more being operated and is re- spending satisfactorily to the develop ment plan In force. In fact. the entire mining country adjacent to Kirkland ls like the remainder of Yavapai county. experiencing an hitherto un- i precedented mining revival
 | The Harqua Haia Bonanza mine | started September by shipping bar i of gold bullion worth ss50Q to the Bank l of Arizona of Prescott. The bullion ! represents a run on about 300 tons of l oxidized ore mined in the upper levels in the vicinity of the old Castle Gard | en- stope. from which approximately ! s2.o0o.000 worth of collaborating ore was extracted in former years The 1 property was taken by the Yuma War rior Mining Co. about three years ago. and since that time has been developed more with view to opening and block ing out ore In the sulphfde areas than to maintaining regular production from the oxidized areas. A tonnage sufficient t0 meet a portion of the ex- pense attaching to exploration work in the lower levels is however mined and billed with monthly regularity. The property is located about eight miles from Sslome. a railway station on the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad and is being operated under the joint infringement of J. E. Martin and H. William Stevens. A body of sulphide ore of promising extent and copper val ues has been opened on the seventh and eighth levels. Prescott and Chi | ate the affairs of the Yuma Warrior Mining Co. and have to date supplied the funds necessary for exploration work in the sulphde ore zone-that ia. funds other than those derived from the sale of the Harqua Hala Bonanza bullion.
