OATMAN. June 26-Devclopm nt of the large ore body which was crosscut several weeks ago on the 565-foot level in the United Eastern mine is determining its values in no uncertain manner SHI is proving Iis breadth and grade to be all that vas claimed al the time of its discovery. The drifts that are being sent out along it's strike are demonstraUn it to be one of the most reua rkCble bodies ever found in this or guy ot her camp. Dr. Walter Harry Weed, tle noted geoloeist, who recently inspect ! ed the United Eastern mine, said, 1 l"It is a very remarkable ore body
 One of the most remarkable l have ever seen. shall follow its develop
 ment with much interest"
 Were Dr. Weed to give this ore body the once over today he would 1 find that it is maintaining its width | of 37 feet-that being it's breadth at the time of his inspection-and tLat 1 it is breaking to an average of S3t so i per ton across a breadth of 22 feet ! work has been featured by the pres ence Of considerable free gold in the vein material Whenever this occ IFS the general average grade et the ere
 is. of course. very material iu- creased By sorting this ore no diii- culty would be experienced in say ing a tonnage having an average val ue of many hundreds of dollars Ter ton. In a camp where an ore of mill ing grade is the desderatum, as there are no adequate transportation facil- ities for shipping ore to outside poirs there is no necessity for employing ore sorters at the Eastern.
 GoLO IN CUBE FORM.
 The precipitation of gold in some of the specimen quarts is very pro nounced It frequently occurs in cube form. accompanied by the greeniah feldspar crystals (adularia) which al-
 most invariably are associated with the pay ore shoots of this district, and it distributed generally through out the quarts Development work is confined to extending the drifts and blocking out ore in readiness for r0- duction at the mill the United East- en company is arranging to build. It is reported that work on this plan will start within sixty days. Such ore, however, as is from necessity brok- en during the work of extending tho drifts will probably be treated at the Gold Road cOmpany's mill.
 The drive west on the 3OO-foot lev el in the Pittsburg mine is making into ore identical in appearance with that being mined in the United East ern workings By the foregoing it is not 10 be understood that the Pitts burg ore is carrying values on a par with those prevailing in the Eastern ore There is however. judging by the naturalization in the vein materi- al, reason to believe that the drive west in the Piusburg is nearing an ore shoot. Colonel L. P. Hansen of Pasadena, who is heavily interested financially in the Pittsburg has just returned to his home after spending the greater portion of a week in the mine workings directing development
 work He expressed himself Co me as feeling much encouraged by the mineral showing The drive is being advanced at the rate of & feet eevry twenty-four hours and may enter an ore shoot before the close of the current month.
 BLACK RANGE NEWS
 D. P Wright, manager and princi- pal owner of the Black Range proper ty, is getting things in shape for an extended development campaign. The main working shaft has been timbered its length of 155 feet, permanent camp for the miners has been estab- lished and a road built to the mine. The installing of a plant Of machinery is to follow. The latter will include 60-horse power engine, a 3OO-cuhic foot compressor a 10-horse power hoist and complement of ore buc- kets, cars. rails, air pipes etc As
 soon as the mine equipment is in place an additional shift or miners will be employed and the shaft be sunk 10 a depth of 300 feet. At the 300foot level the vein system will be
