IBy William :. DeWoIO

OATMAN. Ariz.. May S.-ln round numbers the mine and mill reports or 1 the Tom Reed-Gold Road District show total of S165.000 worth of gold bullion marketed during April as against total of S16O.oOO worth mar keted during the previous month; and total of 1l.50O tons of ore mined, as against a total of l4O00 tons mined during March.
 1 The increase in tonnage was about evenly divided between the Tom Reed and Gold Road mines The increase | in bullion was for the most part from 1 the Tom Reed mine and represented in great measure the gold extracted lfrom the shoot of high grade milling ore opened during April in the drift west from the bottom of the winze sunk to a depth of 125 feet on the 95O- foot level.
 Four-Month Record
 For the first four.month period of the current year the bullion shipment record of the Tom Reed-Gold Road District totals $64OOOO Eliminating the possibility of an increase in the bulk and value of future bullion ship ments during 1915, the gold produc ton of this district for the year will yet be approximately S200j,O00 when figured on the basis of 5640,OOO for the first four-month period.
 Since last New Years day total of 56,OOO tons of ore have been mined here. the tonnage representins only the output from the heaviest produc- CTS. Neither the output from the less thoroughly developed mines whi1A are scattered throughout the camp, nor the very large tonnage of higA grade milling ore that awaits reduc- tion in the United Eastern mine, are included in the summary. The United Eastern tonnage has an estimated value of S1.5O0,0OO.
 Trails Are Busy.
 Mining machinery and supplies are being hauled into the camp in in- creasine tonnage from railway con nection at Topock Kingman and Need les. Ten. twelve and twenty-team outfits. freighted with hoists and com pressors. challenge the less heavily loaded auto trucks for right Of way along the trails And each of these in turn is challenged and passed by the swift running passenger autos. Plodding along amid this scene of modern activity but not of it. are the burro pack trains of the des- ert prospectors.
