 HILL PROPERTY

H. E. Smith, who recently purchas- ed the .Dundon property in Paymaster basin, has taken over the Bunker Hill mines from John Mulligan. This property lies east of Cerbat and is one of the most promising in that sec tion. Some years ago the mine was under option to T. B. O'Brien, who drove tunnel into the ore body and opened up nice showing of good grade material. Owing to the strin- gency of the money market at the time he had to discontinue work/and the property has remained in the con- dition it was left in. MT. Smith took many samples from the dumps of the mine and found that the ore carried a good general average and that ship ping ore running over 100 ounces sil- yer, some gold and a low percentage of copper was to be obtained.

HIGHLAND GETTING READY FOR WORK

c. B. Bell is home from trip to the south part of the state, where he purchased large amount of machin- cry for the Highland Mining company. The machinery consists of compress sors, drills, motors and big tonnage of steel. Everything that is neces- sary for the operation of the property is in the purchase. MT. Bell stated that as soon as the machinery arrives it will be taken to the mines and put up for use. At the Golconda a hoist has been installed and the work of clearing out that property is under way. The mine has filled to a cer- tain elevation with water and this will have to be pumped out to get into the heavy mineral opened on the 18th and 14th levels. These levels show wonderful ore bodies, according to the assay plats of the property, and it is this ore that could be shipped out at profit at the present time, while the main work of development on the other mines is under way
 MT. Bell expects to soon have a large force of men at work on the property fin development and produc- tion.

 MINING BUSINESS

E. c. Bradshaw, general manager of the Arizona Molybdenum company, was in Kingman few days ago on his way east, where he will look over the market possibility of molybdenum ores and metals. He reports that the mill has been making a splendid grade of concentrates and saving good val ues, but that the market for the metal is limited. During his visit to the east he will try to make contracts for all the concentrates that the property can produce.
 The property of this company is contiguous to that of the Leviathan, which is considered one of the great molybdenum properties of the coun- try. The mines have been opened to an extent that warrants the operation of the mill on a large scale. Consid- erable of the ore is rich in the metal, in fact far richer than anything open ed in the county in long time.

GOES EAST IN INTEREST MOLYBDEN|UM MARKET

Gerald Simpson, of the Standard Minerals Company left Wednesday on a trip east to see what can be done in the way of establishing a market for molybdenum products.
 On his trip he will visit several of the laboratories of the steel mills of Pittsburgh. /.
 The Standard Minerals Company had something like $25,000 worth of ferro-molybdenum ready for shipment when it was found that they did not have a suitable market and they were forced to close down the mill.
 The mill was running in good shape at the time of closing and there was something like 5000 tons of milling ore broken down in the stopes.
 While awaiting adjustment of the market, they are keeping the water pumped out of the mine, in order to be ready to start up on short notice and are also working a few men in prospecting on different parts of their property.
