 OATMAN. Arizona April 24.-The results of the mining operations that are being prosecuted on an increas- ing scale throughout the by 10-mile area of the Tom ReedGold Road dis trict. are SO thoroughly satisfactory capital for mine development is be- coming more plentiful and is easier to secure than formerly. Due in part though it is to the renewal of interest in mining in the investment centers of the United States this quickenins of the local mining industry is due primarily to the number of valuable discoveries of ore made of late, chiel among them being the 4O-ioot vein of high grade opened on the 300 and 4OO- foot levels in the United Eastern mine and the shoot of high grade opened in the west drift on the 1075-ioot level in the Tom Reed mine
 Other strikes of lesses magnitude have added to the luster of this camp with the result that it has become the center of gold mining activity in the Southwest, and is the mecca to- ward which the faces of the miners and prospectors of this vast empire of the Wilds are turned They are "mushing' in here in increasing num- bers and each brings the news of oth- CTS who either are on the way or who contemplate coming to this district within a few weeks.
 Among those already here are men whose names are synonymous with mining success elsewhere-men whose judgement in matters mining is rare- ly at fault and who back their conh- dence in a mining proposition with their coin. There men predict rush that will place 1t above an others in the estimation of the general public and make it from the standpoint of interest and investment the most pop ular camp in the country.
 At this time the camp presents much the same appearance as did Manhattan just prior to the rush which increased the population Of that well Southern Nevada camp from a few hundred to more than 5000 within sixty days There is the same feeling of confidence. the same certitude of the approach of prosperity; the same tendency Of the men to focus at a common center and talk mining, and the same undercurrcnt of expectancy here that characterized the days be- fore the boom" in Manhattan That man is. indeed, a pessimist, who can look upon the mammoth dikes of the district, view the great ore body in the United Eastern mine and read the. production figures of the Tom Reed mine without being convinced that this camp is soon to be in the spot light as a mining proposition.
 It is near at hand-the Day of Op- portunity for this camp-and when it arrives it will usher in the most con- sistent and at the same time the most prolific investment period the mining world has ever witnessed.
 From the Black Range property on the south. to the Neglected group of the Tom Reed estate on the north, & distance Of nearly 10 miles. the Tom RerdGold Road district is undergoing development Within that area there is an ore production of 14.OOO tons per month Within that area the Tom Reed mine is outputting better than slO000O worth Of ore per month, and tho Gold Road mine approximately 5G0OOO worth of ore per month. With in that area there are forty properties equipped with mining machinery. Within that area there are sixty stamps crushing out gold.
 Within that area there are several mills where the machinery Is being overloaded preparatory to the reduc' tiOn of ore. Within that area the United Eastern people are preparing Co erect mil for the reduction of the s2O00.OOO worth Of ore that is ln sight on and above the 46Ofoot level of their mine Within that area are lo cated the prosperous mining settle ments Of Oatmau as0 Gold Road, and within that area is being established the mining camp Of Old Trails.
 old Trails is the hub of the Tom Reed.Gold Road district The auto trails to connection with the Santa Fe railroad at Needles, California, and Topock and Kingman Arizona, lead along Old Trails ayenue--the -sab street of old Trails. The camp de Hyes its name from the Padre Gsrcei
