NEW OATMAN MINING COMPANY |S
 FORMED

That navigating the road from Oat- man to Phoenix during a storm is no joke is fully attested by H. V. Blenk iron of Los Angeles, J. Patterson, of Denver, and w. L. Burt, of Phoenix, who have arrived in Phoenix from the roads through snow, rain and mud and sand for three days.
 These parties have Fbeen looking over the Oatman district for several months and are now heavily interest ed. The purpose of their trip to Phoe nix IS to complete the organization ce the Arizona Boy Mining and Mill ing company.
 The company owns the largest tract of ground of any company in the Oat- man district. They own 420 acres of ground within five miles of Oatman, which shows plenty of free gold from the grass roots. On this gruond is an abundant supply of natural water, a condition which does not exist on any locher property in the district.
 These claims adjoin some of the proven grouad of the Oatman district and were thoroughly examined before purchase, by men from California, 1 Colorado and Arizona After decid- l in that this ground was among the best in the district the purchase was made and the company organized.
 The incorporators of the company are w. c. Laine, T. D. Shaughnessy and E. H. Larson, of Phoenix and Stafford. The board of directors con- Isists of w. l.. Blenkiron, H. V. Blen- kiron and S. M. Binkich, of Los Angeles, and Wiley E. Jones and Nit Simms, of Phoenix. J. O. Magam of Oatman, is secretary and s. M. Binkich, of Los Angeles, is treasurer iOf the company.
 This company represents some oi
 the most wealthy men of Los Ange les who have devoted considerable time and spent lots of money in ar investigation of the district before deciding, and while Blenkiron was re
 luctant in giving out information con Icerning the men backing the propo

sition, he said, the ground we have is sufficient without anyone to back it." It has been learned through other sources that he is a member of the firm of Blenkiron Bros, of Los Angeles, one of the wealthy firms of the Pacific coast. Blenkiron says that Burt was the man who brought his to the property and through whom the purchase was made.
 Patterson is mining engineer and capitalist of Denver.

He walked every foot of the way from the ,Kennebec to the Mississippi and he treked every inch from St. Louis to Fort Mohave on the Western pill grimage in punching his pack of faith full mules.
