 NCROWN KING, July 18.-Mining
 work in the Bradshaw mountains is
 taking on a more dependable cnarac-
 ter than at any time since silver has
 been low. Many old properties not
 having been worked for many years
 are being revived and some new ones are being developed.
 The Philadelphia Mining company which has been developing the old
 Nelson prospect for over a year, has recently encountered the best grade ore ever taken from the property, and that should soon result in it becoming a shipper. The main tunnel is being carried ahead into the mountains, and is now in about 1000 feet A large flow of water has been encountered, which alone is somewhat of an asset for large milling operations because there is water scarcity in the Brad shaw basin.
 The Mildred Mining company, which has run 250-foot crosscut tunnel on the Bradbury-Gilmore ground, has cut a vein over eight feet wide. and in the north drift. which is now in 75 feet, the face of the drift is in good milling ore carrying val ues in gold, silver and lead to an aggregate of about 9lO per ton. This drift is to be continued about 100 feet further 10 the old working shaft, which is to be reha6ilitated and sunk to greater depth. At this old shaft is a body of ore from which low grade shipping ore can be sorted, and the grade may be improved when the drift cuts the vein at greater depth The plans of this company include the further development of the prop crtv with the idea of putting on a mill and handling all the low grade ores and shipping the high grade ores. There are some operators in this zone who are merely looking for the high grade ores and leaving the mill ores behind. The Mildred peo- Dle insist that the greater part ot the values in these large veins will be found in the milling ores.
 Eric Bloom and Victor Carlson have lease on the old Birmingham property, which is on the same vein IS the Mildred, and are opening up I stope in an old tunnel from which he ware taking 200 ounce silver ore and preparing to ship. This is a small .rea of ground only little over 400 eet long, but may prove of great -alue.
 Fred H. Perkins of Glendale, Arizr, associated with iAFr. Clark of San francisco, and others is operating the Cougar silver mine under bond and ease and taking out some fine specI- nen orc. Native silver in mineral zed schist zone near the vein is one ,r the peculiar formations being ound. The shipping ore from this roperty runs several hundred ounces n silver, with a good percentage of cad.
 The Lincoln mine, which has been perating for nearly two years under he management of R. D. Metheny f St. Louis, is getting fine show lg of ore that mas put them to talk lg about reconsructing the old mill n modern lines. The Lincoln was {
 shipper of high grade ore i'll olden mes and the hope is now that with he high price of silver she may come ack into that class also. It is gen rally conceded in the Grown King istrict that the Lincoln is on the anne vein which runs from the Orc , ellie mine, which is known as the q rey Eagle vein, and on through the i avoy, Brittingham.
