A winter baseball series is now an assured thing for Oatman and other nearby towns. The first game of the series is to be played on the United Eastern grounds on Thanksgiving day. The grounds are to be put in first class condition before the first game. The entire field will be cleared and sur faced with gravel. This improvement has been needed for some time and will make the local diamond equal to any in the county. The Thanksgiving game here will be played between the locals and the Needles teams. Games have been arrangd with Kingman and Chloride to take place s1on after this event.
 Manager Genard Burris, of the local team, states that his team suffered considerable financial loss making the trip to Prescott for the Fourth of July games, and it is hoped that the winter series will help to straighten out this shortage as well as put the other teams which will participate on better financial footing for the com ing season.
 The lineup of the 0atman team for the Thanksgiving game will be as fol- lows: Chino; p; Waters, C; Clark, 3b; Webster, ss; Burris 2b; Klotz, 1b; Heintz, If; Allen, of; Lamb, If; Shedd and Waters substitutes.

 President H. s. Griswald and board member, J. P. Loftus, of the Esper- anza, left yesterday for the coast after attending a meeting of the board of directors here last Saturday. Before leaving both Mir. Griswald and Mir. Loftus made the statement that a fu- ture campaign of development for the Esperanza had been decided upon that would equal any in the district, and that this development will start at once and will not cease until the Es- peranza is a proven mine. Both gen tlemen are of the opinion that with a reasonable amount of development that the property will prove to be among the largest producers of the district. The property is we'll located in the southern part of the district and its activity will greatly stimulate properties near by. The Lazy Boy, which joins the Esperanza, recently resumed operations and now that part of the district is again assuming its original activity.

and the committee are overworked in answering them. In a short time a prospectus which will contain data of the entire county will be of the press and ready to send out. This will greatly simplify the matter of ans wering questions. The purpose of the prospectus is to conservatively answer any question that might be asked and give the public an idea of the vast possibilities of the mining industry of the county. The prospectus will con- tain photographs of most properties and give facts and figures regarding all of the producers.
 Specimens are arriving daily for the Bureaus exhibit in the St. Francis hotel building and Engineer Ralph A. Meyer is busily engaged in their segregation and classification. As says will De made and posted with each specimen. MT. Meyer is par ticularly anxious that every specimen possible to obtain be delivered to the headquarters by the end of this week.
 The prospector as well as the mine owner is invited to bring in his speci- mems. It is the intention to have on exhibition ores from every group of claims in the county if possible. It will take some time to accomplish this unless the owners of claims come to the assistance of the Bureau in bring ing the specimens in. It is not nee essary that they be high grade. In fact it is the intention to obtain average samples where it is possible to do SO.

CFrom Oatmsn Section Daily Miner)
 At the Times mine it is reported by the management and directors that 2S feet of ore averaging $S per ton has been passed through. At present drift ing on the vein is being carried on with good results. Manager ". F.. Gray states that a shift will be put to work today drifting to tap sup posed shoot of high grade ore which will be reached with a 100-foot drift.
 This ore shoot is particularly good on the surface where assays running from s153 to S492 are reported. Mir. Gray is of the opinion that this shoot will prove to be of very high grade when encountered at a depth of 200 feet. The management expects that another 30 days will see the Times again running at full blast. How ever, the start may be made sooner than that. When operations are re- sumed it will be with the intention of pushing work until the merits or de- merits of the property are proven.

 As a manifestation of their faith in oatman and Mohave county mining and the publicity campaign of the Oatman Bureau of Mines in an effort to put this section on the map in bold type, the brokers of the east and west, mining men who have interests here and those who have visited the dis trict and ascertained it's needs, are literally contributing to the advertis- ing fund.
 Letters and telegrams are received daily by the bureau from the outside offering both moral and financial as- distance in the undertaking. A ma jority of brokers of the coast who are interested here have sent in their donations and are assisting in in teresting others in doing the sameD They are also assisting in every way in drawing the attention of the in vesting public to this field.
 In the east there are many brokers and mining men who are interested here. Most of them have liberally contributed to the fund and others are expected to do so when the matter is called to their attention. The ex- eeutive committee is highly elated over the fact that the outside is so literally supporting the bureau in the big un- dertaEing which was recently launch cd.
