ore indicate value of at least $50 per ton A camp mas been established and development work started. At d depth of 200 feet the Ivanhoe is show ing 40 feet of vein material carrying good values. The shaft is to be low cred to a depth of 500 feet where the ore body will again be crosscut. From shallow workings on the Ivan hoe ore has been mined and saved for shipment that has an average value Of $45 per ton.
 Oatman's Heart of Gold.
 "Oatman's heart of gold, as the thrce-mile radius from the business center of the camp is often called, carries precious metal values which would be considered Thigh grade" in any camp. The United Eastern mine, for instance, has approximately $l0, 000,000 worth of ore in sight on and above the 565-foot level. Values range as high as $1,2OO gold per ton and hold strong at $40 per ton across breadth of 30 feet. The northwest drift on the 565-foot level has sampled an average Of $500 per ton for the last 50 feet. At a depth of S3 feet the shaft on the estate of the Oatmar Mining & Milling Company entered $S5 ore. The shaft is nearing the 300- foot point where a level will be es- tablishcd and a crosscut be sent out to tap the ore body encountered above. At a depth of 135 feet in the United Western workings vein ma tcrial having a value of $35 per ton was found. This ore is to be crosscut at a depth of 500 feet A station is now being cut at that level The current week the United Western paid off all indebtedness against its Horseshoe Reed group of claims and was given deed thereto by William Berg and Sam Trolley, the former owners.
 The LclandVivian mine has pro duced large tonnage of nigh grade ore as have likewise the Orion, Pion- ger and Ruth mines. The latter lies beyond the boundaries of Oatman's heart of gold, but will in due course again add materially to the precious metal output of the camp. Ore hay ing value of $100 per ton was stop ed to surface from depth of 150 feet on the Orion estate during the period when it was called the Gold Dust" The property is being progressively developed under conditions that in sure the early opening of valuable ore. From surface to depth of 60 feet on the Pioneer property, recent ly purchased by Allen c. Burris and associates, ore was mined and ship ped to sampler in Kingman some years ago that gave returns of $200 per ton The Lilah vein on the es- tate of the Arizona-Tom Reed Com pany, adjoining the Pioneer mine, samples as high as $50 per ton at sur face and nominal depth.
 Additional Good Values.
 Assays as high as $60 gold per ton have obtained on the ledge outcrop on the property of the White Chief Company. adjoining the townsitc of Old Trails. High grade ore showing much gold in the free was encountered last spring by J. J. Casey on the property of the Casey-Jones Com pany, corporation in which Dr. J. C. Francis, assistant superintendent of the Tom Reed mine. V. s. Rowley, J. ]. Casey and others are heavily inter ested. A shaft is to be sunk depth oi 500 feet before attempting to prove up the ore body that makes such an encouraging showing at surface. The Big Jim Company is in line for the same character of values on that DOT ton of its property adjoining the Tom Reed mine n@the southeast as obtain in the Tom Reed main work ings. The shaft is nearing depth of 30O feet where a crosscut is to be run to and through the extension of the Tom Reed ledge.
 The Boundary Cone mine, produc- CT of some of the richest and hand somest crystalized gold ore ever un- carthed, is showing $1OO ore at a depth of 200 feet. The Carter mine, near by, has a four feet of ore on the 4O0-foot level that samples from S2S to $35 per ton. The Treasure Key property, recently taken over by w. 5. Wise and other Los Angeles peo- pie. who dominate the affairs of the Orion Company, has $50 ore at a depth of 50 feet. Development of the l property was started about ten days l ago. The Mazona property, adjoining 1 the Carter, has $50 ore at a depth of B feet. The Gold Reed mine. locat- cd near the center of the camps most productive area, is showing four feet of $32 ore at a depth of 375 feet. In
