THE MOHAVE COUNTY MIN To the south of the Katherine Ex- tension, and the Treasure Vault mines is the Katherine Rand property. They
 have sunk a shaft about 60 feet and
 have erected head frame and install
 ed plant of machinery, and it is
 stated that they intend to continue
 the work of development now being done.
 To the southeast of the Illinois
 Katherine mine, and to the west of
 the Treasure Vault mine, is the Lady
 Group, owned by Tony Vrang. This
 group is regarded as one of the best
 prospects in the district. MT. Vrang
 has put down shaft about 35 feet
 at one point, and has assay returns
 showing values at about $22 per ton, and he states that the ore pans in the shaft all the way down. To the east of this shaft he states that he has just uncovered showing which is even better than that in the shaft. MT. Vrang deserves great credit for the work he has done here, for he has done all work alone, and has uncov- cred values that may go a long way toward making Katherine one of the famous gold camps of the west.
 At the Katherine Revenue mine, which is to the northwest of the Ban. ner and Sheep Trail mines, they have shaft down about 60 feet. Machin- cry has been installed, and a head frame, blacksmith shop, and small houses have been erected.
