 OATMAN, Ariz. March 27- Bullion shipments from Che Tom Reed-Gold Road mining district for the current month had an aggregate value of about S16O,00 The mine output for the month was about 14,OO0 tons of ore The foregoing figures are based upon the mine and min outpuis Of the Tom Reed and Gold Road properties. supplmeuted by the reports of the mine superintendents of the camp iu general
 Sixty stamps are continually drop ping on ore fin an only partially sue. cessful effort to keep pace with the mine output The necessity for ad- ditional milling facilities is daily be- coming more apparent This need has become inteqsihed since the opening of 90 feet of high grade milling ore on the l6O-foot level Of the United Eastern mine
 The physical condition of the yari- ous mine workings at this time war rants the prediction that the May out- put of bullion and ore will be cOnsid- erably in excess of the March record. The degree of mining activity now prevailing would apparently presage monthly bullion output valued at $2OO,OOO before the close of the cur rent year.
 As at present defined the Tom Reed and Gold Road District is by 10 miles in extent The prospectors are. however. again taking Co the hills in increasing 1umbcrs, so 1t is not un~ likely that tne boundary lines will have to be re-estublished before lons As an instance in point the strike made by Deputy Sheriff Casey on March 2O is cited
 Cascys strike, unlike that made by the Casey whom De Wolf Hopper has immortalizad, is likely to gain him welcome entrance into the Million aires club rather than retirement 10 bench in the Down and Out Club Casey of OaYuan. be it known. is the original discoverer and locator ot an immense blowout Of conglomerate to the east of the Hartmann and Good rich holdings. Judging by its ap- pearance at surface the mass is en- tire y>devoid of vein, formation In fact in appearance and ingredients is suggests the thought that old Dame Nature in some remote period had mixed a nasty pudding using gold in place of plums, and then being dis satisfied with its looks had turned away in disgust leaving it to congeal and for Casey.
 However that may be Casey hap pened along, sampled it and found the golden plums They looked good 10 him and SO he located a half dozen or more claims. Then he returned Go the camp with a sack filled with samples showing gold in free, and there immediately followed am exodus of the entire male population Of Oat- man Co the scene Of Casey's strike. | Many claims were located and for 60 time the excitement ran high. The proof of the pudding is as yet un- | made but if it holds it's value to any 1 reasonable depth the eastern botnd- ary of the shipping ore zone will be l considerably advanced.
 During the dsca year which closes l March 31. the Tom Reed company mined and mlled approximately 4S,- | GOO tons of ore having a general aver 1 age value of S24OO per on. The bull l lion shipped during that period had a value of about Sl152 00O that gold ! content being approximately Sl.l36,- l GOO and the silver content approNi- mately Sl5OO0 Dividends paid
 amounted to S59l .21O75. of sixty-fve 1 per cent upon the stock issue of | 909, ,445 shares Since it's discovery
 the Tom Reed mine produced about | pany has paid in dividends since
 September 1910. total of $253 per

 month The mine and mill machin- ! cry, representing an outlay of more than $500 900, is noted for economic ! efficiency The property will enter ! upon the next fiscal year with larger
 ore reserves than ever before and un- der mining conditions in general that assure increased OCT production and
 increased dividends
