Tom Reed Makes Another
 Record Cleanup.

in from the Tom Reed mill five bars of
 bullion, the total value of which was
 close to 115, ,0O0$, the cleanup for the
 month of December. During the year
 the company made record for itself,
 the production being far ahead of for mer years. And at the same time the company has been opening up it's other properties and making it possible to maintain the mill at it's capacity. The new work has disclosed some exception ally rich ore bodies, especially on the south end of the property, where shaft has been carried into new ground. The company during the past year has done an immense amount of develop ment work in the main property and has opened stopes below the 1000 levels where the ore is said to be better and more promising than in the upper levels. Next week we expect to give report from this company, showing some of the details of it's working,
 P. McCardell, the well known U. Ss mineral surveyor and civil engineer, paid the Music Mountain section pro- fessional visit last Wednesday,, and re- ports finding that camp extremely live ly. The mill was running and the plates showed that a nice saving of values was being made from the oXi- dized ores from the mines of the Ne vada Arizona Gold Mines company. James Meikle is in charge of the prop erty and Frank Stewart is the millman. MT. McCardell says that there is a large tonnage of ore on the dumps and in the bunkers at the mine, the value of which is said to be above sos. The company has it's new shaft down to the 400 level and has opened up some ex- cellent ore. On the Roosevelt the tun- nel has been run about 700 feet, and along the vein splendid ore has been opened. This property could be opened to great advantage by deep working tunnel, which could also reach out to the other veins on the same ridge.
 Eli Hilty and S. w. Klass have or ganized the Oatman Gold Mining & Mill | ing company with capitalization of one million one dollar shares. The new company is taking over the old Gardner property, east of the Tom Reed. This property is said to be one of the best showings in that rich section, having produced some immensely rich gold ore. . The vein is opened by open cuts and shaft and wherever opened shows big milling values in gold. The company is fortunate in obtaining this property and is sure to make a success of the under taking. If more home folk would get into practical mining we believe we would have the richest community on the face of the globe, as the mines are everywhere, only needing the assistance of capital to put them on their feet.
 Peter White, who has been doing the assessment work on the Tyro group of mines, over in the Union Pass section, arrived in Kingman the first of the week, bringing with him some splendid ore from several new places on the big veins. He reports that at one place he opened good body of ore that shows values better than ZOOS per ton, and that many other places along the vein have been opened that carry values of 40S or better. The Tyro is an immense vein, cutting the country at right angles with all the other veins of that section. Considerable work has been done on it and with the new showing it ought to attract the attention of mining men.
 w. D. Grannis came up from his mining camp at the Waldron mine a few days ago and is attending to busi- ness affairs. He reports that the big shaft on the mine is still being sunk and that as soon as the new level is reached crosscut to the vein will be run. On the upper working of the mine fine showing of ore has been made, while on several of the surround ing properties fine grade of ore has been brought to light. The property IS one of the big things of the lower part of Deluge Wash.
