| "oo NPOSAoA III lAlC l Olll 1NCS0- Gold Road Mining District by the initial shipment of ore from the United Eastern mine, the $2,O00,000 bonanza adjoining the Tom Reed mine on the northwest that has been i developed since the first of the cur rent year. It was also featured by three mining strikes of importance.
 The first consignment from the United Eastern mine consisted of 30 tons of $50 ore and was billed to the Gold Road mill It marked the be- ginning of regular shipments of a like tonnage and grade, and added another mine to the camps list of producers. ''
 Will Ship 1000 Tons.
 At least 1000 tons of ore will be shipped each month by the United Eastern Company to the Gold Road mill. This means additional gold shipments from the camp having a value of $30,00O per month. In other words the monthly gold shipments from the Tom Recd-Gold Road Dis trict from the first of August on will have value of $195OOO, as against a value of $165,OOO during previSuz months.
 The output of the Tom Reed mine for July was about 4,000 tons of ore from which was reclaimed and sent to mint $1OO,OOO worth of gold. The output of the Gold Road mine for July approximated 10000 tons of ore. The bullion shipments made last month by the Gold Road Company had an aggregate value of $65,OO0.
 Interview With Long.
 Managing Director George w. Long of the United Eastern mine gave me the following interview re- garding ore shipments from the prop erty:
 "The United Eastern Mining Com to mill on August first Ore ship ments for the current month will aggregate about 1000 tons of an ap- proximate average value of $50 per ton. All ore shipped to date was mined during the progress of de velopment work on the 460 and 565 foot levels. Our future ore ship ments will be drawn from the same levels as the drifts are advanced in the vein.
 'No ore other than that mined in the ordinary course of mine develop mcnt will be sent to mill until such timo as the United Eastern's re duction plant is in operation. There after we will draw upon the ore re- serves now being blocked out.
 2,OOO Tons on Dump.
 "We have about 20OO tons of very profitable grade milling ore on the dump and this tonnage is being add ed to each day. We are breaking about 2,O00 tons of ore per month as development work progresses; and as we are shipping not to exceed 1 l,0O0 tons per month, our dump ton mage is increasing at the rate oi 1 ,000 tons per month.
 "The west drift on the 46O-foot level has at this time length of 190 feet, and the cast drift on the 565 foot level length of 210 feet; which gives us total length of 400 feet in the ore shoot. The face of each lrft is filled with ore and presents 10 indications of a narrowing of the shoot"
 A Trio of Strikes. The mines of the district punched heir strikes the current week, a trikc in mining parlancc being equiv ( llcnt to a hit in baseball nomencla- urc, and made a score of three in he following batting order: { Oatman c. NJ. & NJ. Co.,, high [ trade milling ore at a depth of 85 { ect; Tom Reed, body of milling ore a Il the cast drift on the 5OO-foot level ( f the main workings and streak of V igh grade milling ore in the Ola s )atman workings; Gold Road, body c f $20 ore at a depth of 500 feet. d Either of these strikes is of more \ nan ordinary importance, and col e actively they will have beneficial d fleet upon the local mining industry e 5 whole.
