many points on the surface. One shaft is down POO feet in good ore but the main shaft is down only 75 feet
 Black Reef.
 A new concern. the Black Reef Cop per company. headed by H. F.. Will hahn as president and superintendent, has taken over the c. w. Mckee group of eight claims adjoining the Desert on the south. A twelvehorse- power hoist and other equipment will be in place within a month. : One shaft has been sunk 120 feet on a vein that is two feet wide at the sur face and six feet wide at 100 feet. Gold values at that depth range from $3 to SAP and copper from 3.6 to 35 per cent. The ore is free from zinc or silica and ideal for smelling.
 In this shaft is the only water struck in the immediate vicinity The shaft makes about 35 barrels of good water in A hours, which is a distinct advantage.
 X. S. 6 w.
 J. E. Kleindieust, Enoch Selberg, Francis Wood and Joe Torres. who style themselves the K. s. & w. Min ing company. hold the old Edna May group and some new locations made by Torres on the west, fourteen claims in all. Several high grade shipments have been made fro mthe Edna May shaft but development is now being confined to one of the Torres claims The shaft is down sixty feet in a soft altered formation which averages S47 l ton gold in the bottom and carries a trace of silver. There are evidences that copper has leached out of the ore and prospects for the discovery of a bog body of copper at depth are ex- sellent. Machinery is to be installed It an early date.
 Bonanza.
 One of the oldest properties in the district is that of the Bonanza I'm provement company, which adjoins the K. s. X w. holdings on the west. R. R. Mcdonald is superintendent and principal owner, and New York capi- talists are interested with hin. An incline shaft is down 100 feet on gold copper are and is being sunk to depth as rapidly as possible A ninety-foot 3rosscut from the bottom passes through three feet of ore that aver ages 14.6 per cent copper and $17.5O m gold. One carload of this ore has been shipped and another is to go for ward soon.
 Belle Crown
 Still farther west is the Belle Grown, owned by the Victor and Belle Crown Mining company. J. k. Matte ion. a Wenden merchant, is president )ut a majority oi the stockholders i've in the east It was at their di- 'ection that work was suspended last October, but there is a change for an eariy resumption. Four carloads of ore were shipped just before the sus, pension.
 The main shaft is down 100 feet. At 235 feet a drift was run to the intersection of a cross lead with the 1ain ledge. Four feet of ore was struck a few days before work stop- led. Two feet in the center ran sI9O , ton in gold and the remainder of the 'treak was $7 ore
 Critic.
 Just through the pass and to the vest is the Critic, the heaviest pro- iucer of the district at this time. ieorge E. BALayton. of New York. is he owner but it is held under lease y q. A. Easton. of San Francisco. Ore s being taken out and shipped by ,hree parties of sub-leasers. The main shaft is down 400 feet ana ls low being timbered from the 3OO-foot | evel down.
 Three carloads of ore recently ship 'ed from the Critic averaged twenty Ter cent copper and S20 in gold. Part If this ore came from the surface. where a shoot two and half feet vide lay undiscovered until a few weeks ago when a leaser shoveled off he overburden.
 Equipment al the Critic consists of twelve-horsepower hoist and si-drill compressor. The hoist is soon to be -eplaced with one of thirty horsepow-
 r and then steady production of our carloads month will be main aimed.
 East of the Critic is the Dick Bull ard mine, which was an important and regular shipper till recently when { was closed down pending the out aOme of deal. Some of the Bullard ore has run as high as S4.0OO a car in gold and copper.
 Osborn and Burson.
 Sidney P. Osborn, secretary of the state of Arizona. and James Burson )wn seven claims little northwest If the Critic. With no development beyond 5i-fcot shaft and a few few holes on the surface. Osborn and Buhson have one of the most interest ing and promising prospects to be found in the Harcuvar range. The lead is fifteen feet wide and has been raced 5000 feet, east and west. It is in d loose formation. very favorable for the making of ore Whenever the )verburden has been removed, copper md iron stain appears.
 Practically all the rock taken out )f the shaft carries copper and gold put the best showing is in a ten-foOt drift run west from the bottom. This rift appears to be entering a lens of iulphide. bOrnite and glance In the fago the prp ic tUn foot auI . I,lF
