 Associated with Mr. McWhorter in lois Yukon Territory mine is Tom Mtken who has been partner of Frank Manley and Henry Riley, ol Fairbans and lditarod, for many years. They are working nine men in their Mayo creek mine where they have fourfoot vein. They have been working an winter and expect to ship during the season of Yukon navigation this year i,S00 tons of ore. They win haul their ore 30 miles to the Stewart river ship it 16O miles down that stream, thence to Dawson, where it will be transferred to the Lower Yukon packets and shipped to St. Michael There it win be trans ferred to ocean steamships and then shipped Co a Puget Sound smelter
 Last year this company shipped 59 tons up stream to Whitehorse, and thence over the White Pass to Skag- way and iron there to Puget Sounl- The ore produced S269.9O per ton. However, chat was selected ore, ac. cording to Mir. McWhorter and some what richer than the 1900 tons that it is proposed to ship this year
 Section of Promise
 Mr. McWhorler says there are ex. cellent prospects chat other mines will be located in the Mayo river dis rict where his company is operating. Float ore, similar to that which they are mining, has been picked up 1000 feet from where their vein is located. and 1t is believed that other veins will be discovered in course of time. Mr. McWhorter has gone to Tenakee where he will remain for few weeks and then leave for the South It IS his intention to visit the San Fran cisco fair and return Co his mine with the opening of navigaton

Speaking of business, 1 must not

engaged in, however, when he struck

But you can't keep a good man

Grossman saw the opportunity and
gave up his job as waiter at the

Mahoney is a type of the sturdy
Irishman of the second generation
who today comprise not small
share of Arizonas representative men

ing some of the Oatman enthusiasm
that fairly exudes from him.
Today, the little mining town is
overcrowded with mine owners, op-
orators, miners, investors and sight

Needles and Kingman are literally

Oatman is twenty seven miles from
Kingman, which is the county seat
of Mohave county and on the main
line of the Santa Fe Railroad. The
only. way you can get there is by bus
or walk. When you alight from the
train you are met with a dozen in

We learn that gold was first dis
covered in the Oatman district by
soldiers stationed at old Fort Mo-

old fort was located six or seven
miles from Oatman. The other morn

during the past sixty days.
1 believe in the theory of the Neb-
ular Hypothesis, and after spending
several days in the Oatman district
it really appeared to me that after
our good old Mother Earth got
through boiling and seething and
humping herself previous to the
"cooling-of or "sugaring-o stage,
she gave final and mighty flop
and shifted a goodly portion of the
precious rock containing the precious
metal into that portion of the world
known as Arizona and that Mohave
county received her share-and a
little bit more.
If Oatman keeps up the gait she
has started, Arizona will be known
from pole to pole and they will be
naming submarines instead of battle
ships after her in the near future.
Again I predict that Oatman will
give Arizona desired publicity and

town has no greater length than half
of an ordinary city block and in
this limited space, the mass of peo-
pie congregate, filling the street and
sidewalks at all times, and with the
automobiles and trucks and wagons
passing through this jam, it is al
most impossible, at times, to pass
through it. The accompanying pic
ture aptly illustrates the situation
and 1 had it taken at p. M. and
not at 6 when the crowd is largest.
AS you walk through this combi-
nation bourse, information bureau
and town meeting assembly, you hear
snatches of conversation in which
the words "rhyolite,'' ''porphyry,"
Claims "pay-ore,' "outcropping,
quartz boundaries "gold," and
stocks play the most important
part, and such trivial matters as the
European war, the color of the hose
that Mrs. Gait will wear at the we'd
ding, or the attempted recall of Gov
ernor Hunt are never thought Of

versation. The topic is gold, gold,

you that the trip can be made in

way will be $4.00. So you climb

Oatman derives it's name from OIL

by Apaches who had captured her
on the Gila river after the balance
of her family had been killed and
with these Indians, she spent a very
unhappy fifteen years. Oatman is the
typical, one narrow street mining
town, with side bride paths, as
crooked as the proverbial hind leg Of
the canine, leading up to the gray
brown hills where houses and tents
are arranged, hit and miss, for the
habitation of the citizens and their
now many guests.

of New York and is NOT the state
ment of a stock salesman or profes :
sional boomer, in justice to your in
telligence you will begin to sit up
and take notice.
Today all roads in the west fig
uratively lead to Oatman.
That call up the questions
What is Oatman?
Where is Oatman?
and the Oatman Enthusiast will
answer that Oatman is the greatest
mining camp that has been discov-
cred in years.
He will tell you that one year
hence Oatman will have a popula-
ton of $4,000.
He will prove this asserted pre-
dietion by telling you that six
months ago there were only 500 peo-
pie here and that today there are
5000.
He will. tell you (and you will
The Arizona copper camp., 1915-11-26

have to admit that he is right) that
if you intend becoming a stranger
within Oatman's gates that you had
better telegraph ahead for sleeping
accommodations or be compelled to
sleep in the open or stand up all
night and that if people keep a.
comm" the s. r. o. sign will soon
be in evidence.
And the cause of all this is the
recent discovery of MORE gold in
the Oatman district.
But Oatman has been producing
gold for years." you remark to the
Enthusiast.
"True, true" he quickly replies,
but adds: I'm the light of recent
events, discoveries, strikes and pros
poets, she is capable of producing
more gold-enough gold to pay the
expenses of another European war
and have enough left to give all the
boys of Arizona one good, grand
time"
So we turn away from the En-
thusiast (almest convinced of what
he saysl and meet the Conservative
and ask HIM what HE thinks of all

baloo and ask information as to
when this gold was first discovered
in this district and what of the

my answer to the main question
asked me by Harry Hedrick, the cor
respondent, who is known in every
mining camp of consequence in
America and knows the 'ins" and
outs" of the hysteria and activity
produced by the finding Of new gold
fields as does Frederick Palmer the

tions.
"On what do you base your asser-
tion?" replied Hedrick. a merry
twinkle shooting through the big
tortoise -shelled eyeglasses he wore.

this Second Cripple Greek, this New
Goldfield is forging ahead every hour
and that there is not beoze-joint,
boot-legger, gambling-hell, mineral
fakir or scarlet woman in the camp
and even you have never seen min
ing camp of this magnitude that did
not have these attributes, did you?"
l replied.
"Guess not" admitted Hedrick, and
with a "Glad I metcha," he elbewed
his way through the jam of people,
hunting for news-for be it known
he is now on the Oatman publicity
staff, and writes good stuff"

Now the above declaration was
made from my personal observation,
but when you read
