FORMER PARALLELS TO 0ATMAN DISTRICT
 ARE POINTED OUT
Mining Man Tells of Other Gold Camps in the United States and Particularly in California, Arizona and Nevada.
Bv B. x Dawson

CpupuldJlOus are the mlnlng camps of California. Nevada and Arizona. From out of the desolate deserts and the barren mountain have come wealth untold. but the treasures pro. duced and hoarded in the past arc but small in comparison to the endless flood that will flow from the mine DOT. tals in the future. The deserts are giving up their treasures; the frown- ing mountains are forced to yield their gold. The future of the gold miner is aglow with promise and certain Of recompense
 The real progress of mining in the west started in the state Of California in 1S4S., when gold was discovered by John Marshall, in Eldorado County The stampede it oocasioned from all parts of the world is a matter of world history Thousands took the perilous journey around Cape Horn. and other thousands came across the plains and high mountain ranges. The trail was lined with bodies of those who perish ed in that rush, but Golden California as 1t is today is the result Since the discovery of gold upwards Of Sl.5OO.. OOOOOO in gold has been produced.
 Nevada Wealth.
 The enormous production in tho | early days of Nevada produced an era of wild speculation such as has not been known since. The great Com stock lode produced $500, 100000 from high-grade ore which was hauled in wagons for hundreds of miles to smeu- CTS. The history of the operations Of these mines in one of unexampled ex- travagance, and excitement prevailed to such an extent that many went in- sane, and scores committed suicide Hundreds were made millionaires and multimillionaires
 Nevada continued to produce wealth in large quantities without a Hurrah Something like 12 years ago. Tono- pah was discovered, and a couple Of years afterwards there was the great stampede from every part of the Unit. ed States 10 the new gold fields Of Goldfeld, Nevada. These two camps have produced many millions and are still producing the yellow metal.
 Colorado and Its Day
 Colorado has its Pike's Peak Boom in the early 7O's. Then later it was Cripple Creek, and Cripple Creek. has been the cause of many a poor man becoming wealthy and is still produc- ing great wealth
 California, Nevada and Colorado have had their great booms.
 Arizona Has the Spotlight Now.
 Arizona has produced worlds Of wealth in the different metals. but never has the state had a genuine gold boom. From the present indica. tions the Great Gold District Of Oat- man, Arizona. is to become one Of the greatest gold mining districts the world has ever known
 The Boom is on People are flock ing into the district from every known part of the world There is a reason why, and it is simply this They have found the yellow metal in large uuan- titles, and it is distributed over large area of territory. Some say-"Weu Il suppose the boom will fatten soon. " but no danger of that, because they have three great mines already proven. Mines that have produced millions of dollars and paid out millions in divi- dends. That alone is sufficient for good sized mining camp.
 In addition to these three great mines viz Gold Roads, Tom Reed. and inc United Eastern, there are many other properties that are mines in the making. Here are some of them-The Pioneer Consolidated, Boundary Cone. Telluride. United Eastern Extension. Gold Reed United Western, and in fact many others. At the present time ' should judge there are al least 80 companies that are delving into moth l. CT earth for the precious metal
 Al the beginning of the recent boom ! most of the capital was money sub . scribed by the Coast towns and the local people, but Of late investors are . coming into the camp from the extreme cast A few months ago the we'll. known firm of Hayden-Stone Co.,. of Boston, purchased s3OO.OOO worth of stock of the United Eastern Mine. This caused eastern capital to investigate the Oatman District After thoroughly investigating. other concerns began to plan to get a foothold in the wonder full gold camp.
 lt is considered by mining engineers of reputation that anything within one half mile radium of the post office of Oatman, is very likely to become one great ore body and similar 10 the big ore deposit of the Goldfeld ConsoH- dated Mines Company of Goldfeld. Nevada, which in the past 10 years has produced over S6O.OOO, 900 from a small area of ground
 The mineralized section extends many miles in every direction and the ore deposition at the principal mines Is similar to that throughout the dis. 'rict and there is every reason to be. ieve that the good prospects of today may be the bonanza mines Of tomor. row
 A good illustration of this is what happened to the United Eastern Less han year ago the United Eastern
