 Oatman, Arizona. May 15 At a. depth of 565 feet the United Eastern mine. that recent addition to the prov en properties Of the Tom Reed-Gold Road District. is yielding high grade ore that assays into the thousands of dollars per ton and shows consider. able gold in the free The discovery Of pay ore at the depth mentioned is in all it's aspects the most valuable ever made in the mine as it demon strates the presence of a continuous body Of commercial ore from a depth of 900 feet to the point of present op- erations
 At the time os writing this dispatch the crosscut on the 565-foot level S out from the shaft a length of 125 feet and is in ore for a leusth of 25 feetD How much of an ore lens lies beyond the present face of the cut is as yet conjectural It is, however. very evil dent the vein is fully as wide al this depth as where opened on the 460-fOot level, and it is very probable it wifi show an even greater width between walls when completely intersected
 Significance of Strike.
 In order that the true siguificanca of the fore soiug may be appreciated it is well to state that the United Eastern vein has a breadth of 4l feet on the f60-foot level and that it ssn4 ples pay from footwsI to hanging wsn The crosscut on the 3og-fOot level shows vCin width Of about 24 feet. with the apex Of the ore about les feet above that point. These condi- tions prove that the shoot is widening with depth, and that to say the least, it is consistently holding its gold val ues
 Prior 10 tapping the vein on the 565-fOot level there was estimated tu be Sl,5O0O0 worth of ore lying on and above the 460-toot level. It there. fore appears probable the area of stopns ground above the j65foot ley- el contains at least S2,0O0 900 worth o1 ore An interesting fact in cinuec- ton with this very unusual ore show ing is that the mine is of recent ori- gin having been nothing better than very promising prospect al the out- set of the current year Since that time Lond and NcIver the managing directors have developed the prospeca into a mine destined in all probability to become the most valuable and most talked of gold producer in the South west, if not in tho United States.
 Water Jacks Are Busy.
 The water jacks on the lower level are hammerins the rock face and ribd of the crosscut with the precision ana dext, rity with which a skiIW boxer batters an opponent resting bet tween rounds of shots until the muck has been cleared away and then re- suming their merry tattoo and work of demolition Every hole punched in the face of the crosscut discloses additional values and more complete ly demonstrates the right of the Unit- ed Eastern to possession of tbe gold belt of championship nthe heavy weight mine division
 All the way along the Tom Reeds huge ore zone, of which the United Eastern ore body is an integral part, mine development is heinz prosecut- ed on an ever increasing scale and with an ever increasing promise of financial success. In the Tom Reed main workings the shoot of high grade milling ore recently encounter ed in the west drift on he 1O75foot level is maintaining it's gold coAteAt under the test Of development The ore being broken therein continues 10 go direct from the mine to tbe mill and to add appreciably Co tke bullioR shipments from the property. whics have at present total value some what in excess of slO0.0O per montA A linch air pipe line has been laid from the Tom Reed main workings ts the Black Eagle workings of the Tom Reed company and through its medi- um the work of developing the south east extension of the Reeds ore zone win be greatly facilitated. The Black Eagle shaft is being lowered from a depth of 2l5 feet to a depth Of 300 feet with the object Of testing the vein and yalues st the depth lest men toned
