RECORD SHIPMENT IS
 MADE BY TOM REED

KINGMAN, Ariz., Jan. 17.-Chief interest of the week seems to be cen tered in the Gold Road District where the Gold Road Mine is being sampled by engineers of the U. S. S. R. & NJ. Co.,, and where the Tom Reed just made a record shipment.
 About 40 men are at work sampl- ing in the Gold Road under the di- reetion of A. W. Howat, field en- gineer. The samples are being cut every , feet and about 5000 in all will be taken The mine is devel- oped to depth of 800 feet of which practically only the first 300 have been stopped. The present manage ment has estimated a tonnage of be- tween 100000 and 5OO,OOO averaging SIP per ton. It is generally believed that if the mine samples up to this the big corporation will buy it.
 Last week the Tom Reed Mine | shipped its December mill output | consisting of 3641a pounds of bull ion valued at approximately $75,000. | Col. L. F. Hanson of Pasadena, one of the principal owners visited the Tom Reed and also the Kokomo group himself and a group of Denver men.

 The 100 ton mill and cyanide plant of the Frisco NJ. & P. Co.,, is nearly completed and will be put into com mission on the 21st. In the mine, development has been pushed steadi- " for over a year and the result is a proved body of free.milling gold ore of many thousands of tons. This property is expected to be one of the cOuntry's biggest producers.
 The Bi-Metal Mine near Kingman is being sampled by Jas. F. Parks of San Francisco. The examination is being made for Fred Bradley of the Alaska Treadwell Mining Co. The Bi-Metal is a large deposit of low-grade free-milling ore and has the advantage of being situated within a few hundred feet of the Santa Fe.
