to come before the meeting, the case
of Mclaughlin and Bundy, who have
opened Il sporting goods store in Los
Angeles, forming the basis for agita-

been awarded, it was time for the oues-
ton to come before the meeting. Just

When the meeting closed George T.
Adee, president of the association, said
that the executive conhmittee would
consider the question at a meeting in

would probably be an announcement
at that time. The executive committee
held a meeting and touched upon the
subject, but did not arrive at any con-
crete proposition that could be pre-
sented to the meeting. Mr.. Adee said
that when the committee meets here
March II new set of amateur rules
would probably be drawn up SO that

OLD MOSS MINE ID BE
 WORKED BY ENGLISH
 ADVENTURE COMPANY
fFrom oatman section DaiIy Mlner.l

(From oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 A deal has been closed whereby the English Adventure company has taken charge of the old Moss mine. The company is one of the largest opera tors in the United States and Mexico, and it's entrance into the Oatman field is significant event. The deal was closed recently through A. c. Werden, and it is probable that he will be the local head of the corporation.
 The old Moss mine is known as one of the most promising properties to the north of Oatman and Goldroad. It has been under operation for some time, and it is said that much ore has been blocked out and is ready to be milled. Lack of capital prevented the previous operators from erecting re- duction plant to handle the ore. Def- nite plans for the future have not as vet been announced, but it Is expected that the erection of a mill will be the first big undertaking of the new opera tors.
 The region surrounding the old Moss is taking on greater activity never be- fore seen there. The Gold Bullion Min ing company is one of the most recent organizations. Charles P. Blandon is president and general manager and J. A. George is secretary of the company. Operations will begin as soon as machinery and other equip ment can be placed on the property.
 The Midway Mining and Milling company, whose property is located near the Moss, is another property which will resume operations in the near future. It has been closed down for the past few months owing to water in the shaft. Pumping machin- cry, which was installed at the time of the inauguration of operations was found inadequate to handle the large flow. Since the close down new and larger pumps have been installed and sinking will be resumed soon.
 Many other properties are operat- ing in the same section and others are to start in the near future.
