OATMAN, Sept 3D. President and
General Manager Geo. r. Moser an
nounces that fun crew of men is
now at work on cross-cut of the Pho
neer No. 1 shaft on the 400 foot level
Arizona-Tom Reed
From a careful survey il is esti-
mated that the Lilah ore shoot will
be reached inside Of $50 feet. unless
the vein should change i'm it's dip. but
i'm no event will it exceed 800 feet. As
soon as the ore shoot is tapped and
opened up, the company will start an
upraise on their ground for working
shaft through to the surface. This
is not only of great benefit 20 the
Arizona-Tom Reed, but viii give per
feet ventilation to both the Pioneer
and Lilah ore shoot exploit ID on the
surface with small open cuts and
shafts and now has exposed over 200
feet i'm length the apex of an ore shoot
outcropping on the surface of the
hanging wall side of the green chlor-
itlc andesite dyke, and shoot connect
ing with and starting at the faulting
zone, which connects the Pioneer and
Lilah Veins The shoot trends north
westerly from said faulting zone and
practically parallels the large ore
shoot of the Pioneer mine. AS the
richest shoots of ore under ground i'm
this district. viz. Gold Road. United
Eastern and Tom Reed are found in
the hanging wall of the green chlor.
itic andesite it is reasonable to ev-
pect one of the large shoots OF the
camp to be opened up on the Lilah
mine
In addition TO the Lilah ore shoot,
President Moser has had the old Trio
shaft cleaned out and is preparing to
do some work on the Trio mine. Trio
is the old shaft originally sunk by the
prospectors AL james and Cohenour
from which Mr. Moaer and associates
purchased the Trio and Lilah mines.
Several thousands OF dollars of high
grade ore came out of this shaft and
on the surface leases on the north end
of the Pioneer mine u the earlier
days Of its history actually PANIED
the gold out OF the rich adularia
stringers and made gold slues right
on the ground This high grade
shoot of ore on the north end of the
Pioneer dips and trends into the Trio
mine and unqucstionably the coutinu-
ance of a drift from the 400 foot level
of the Pioneer mine viii prove this
high grade ore shoot entering into the
ArizOna-Tom Reed mines
Mr. Moser has full equipment at
work 500 cubic it. compressor, air
drills hoistin4 plant, blacksmith
shops of the Pioneer beins used for
the cross-cut on the 400 foot level un-
ill the Lilah ore shoot is struck
Mr.. Moser, arranging with the Pioneer
company for the use of this equip
ment saved the Arizona-Tom Reed
from having TO spend thousands of dol
lars for equipment before they could
get started on their work. The Pion-
Ger, of course, derives mutual benefit,
as they are having their entire ande-
site dyke cross-cut free of cost TO
them, and the completion of the cross
cut and the Arizona-Tom Reed shaft
viii give the Pioneer mine the veuti-
lation it is so badly i'm need of. Furth-
ermore IL gives these two mines a
safety insurance for all underground
working giving two shafts to the sur
face from the 400 foot level Of both
mines.
