 White Hills Property is the remains of the City of White Hills-consist' ing of thirty-five buildings-twenty residences-two or one room each two of two rooms each; six of three rooms each; two of four rooms each; one of five rooms ;and three of six rooms each. One hotel of seventeen rooms, largely furnished, ready for oc' cupancy; seven old store buildings five of which can be easily cut into five rooms each. One excellent store ready for immediate use, fully fur nished and equipped, and the living apartments or rooms immediately ad- joining, ten in number; one excellent large barn, with a number of sheds corral, many water tanks, large store house for mining tools and equipment One Church, one School House fur nished. One blacksmith shop and many small outbuildings. There is an endless variety of mine supplies of all kinds carefully stored by the watchman. There are twenty spring cots. Furniture nearly complete for the Hotel, including dishes and table ware, cooking utensils, lamps, etc., though a new range will be required.
 "Many of the houses are habitable as they stand, but the town needs a carload of Ruberoid, or similar roof ings, containing "A rooms, and space conditions there, and a few hundred pounds of cut nails to rehabilitate every building in the place for many years to come, as there is plenty of lumber to do all the other repair work now stored in the various buildings.
 "In short, there are twenty dwell- ings, containing "A roms, and space for one hundred men immediately, and still have plenty of store, office, assay and other space for business purposes.
 ''The Stamp Mill is constructed of especially heavy timbers, mortised to- gether and good as new. It was boarded all over outside and then heavy corrugated iron put over the boards, both roof and sides.
 There are forty stamps of one thousand pounds each, (stamps), and the proper number of pans and set tiers. The mill is handsomely built in two units of twenty stamps each. The south twenty stamps alone were used. Barring shoes and dies, the batteries are all intact. All pulleys and connections are in place-many belts still on, though likely worthless. Each suit is propelled by 16 in. x 36 in. Corliss Engine-and each en- zine has it's two boilert-feed water heater, etc. The mill is lighted by an electric dynamo-operated by a special steam engine.
 of cyanide treatment should be found the better treatment, as seems entirely likely, the removal of the pans and settlers would leave ideal foundations for the cyanide plant within the mill. The mill building has an extreme length of 1S4 feet extreme width of 132 feet and extreme height of 63 feet.
 "There is an excellent Retort Room and Bullion Furnace just north of the Mill.
 "The hoist and pump plant of the Occident Mine consists of one 80 horse power steam boiler-40 horse power steam hoist with 900 feet of good 7-S in. cable. There is No. 6 Cameron sinking pump which lifts the water to the station pump on the 9th level. This station pump is a Jeansville Pot Valve Duplex 10 X 12 xxx 12 made for head of 1000 feet, and looks like new, and is near ly so. The track and piping are in the shaft in good condition.
 'There is small steam hoist and boiler on each of the Norma No. D. Schaeffers Treasure, Grand Army, and Grand Central. The hoists are all in good condition, as well as their cables. But the Grand Central boil CT would need to be replaced.
 "There is about 2500 feet of track in the various mines; several carsr the necessary skips, etc., for starting work. There is abundant timber not under strees or strain now in the mines, which can be salvaged to sup ply all needs of the property for a year at least. It is in excellent con- dition."
 Mohave county in general is inter ested in the rehabilitation of White Hills, and the board of supervisors has agreed to put the roads into that camp in good shape. AS the railroad reach es within 20 miles of the camp, the end of the line being at Chloride, the haulage will not be great. The road way is an excellent one, going up through what is known as Detrital Valley, and only small amount of re-
