another heavy outlay of capital. Yet
If must be said that the companies
which are operating have gone into
the work in the right way, and that
all the mining done is done through
first class shafts, well tlmbered, with
good headframes and equipped by
modern and substantial plants of ma
chinery.
Importance of the Automobile.
Here gasoline is king. All the pas
senger travel is done by automobiles.
Ever so often a barker walks UP and
down the main street of Oatman call
ing through the megaphone, "passen-
gers for automobile stage to Needles"
or passengers for automobile stage
to Kingman." All the freight, but the
heaviest, is done by automobile trucks,
which can carry 10000 pounds each
trip.
Only once in a great while a pros
pector can be seen going out into
packed burros-remnders of an al
most prehistoric age-and who looks
qaite strange in the midst of his new
surroundings.
However, the heaviest freighting is
done by teams of or 10 mules, which
have grown contemptuous of the
chuck, chuck, chuck" of their mod
ern competitors, the gasoline trucks.
Mohaye county has voted a sum of
100000 to improve the county roads,
and this will make for greater facili-
ties of travel.
Oatman is building all the time
and several two and three story stuc-
co blocks have been erected during
the last few weeks, or are in process
of construction right now. The town
is the center of activities for the dis
trict, the town of Gold Road having
hardly increased at all in population,
while that of Oatman has doubled
every few weeks since last summer
Oatman is reached from two main
points, both on the transeontinental
line of the Santa Fe railroad. One
of these is Kingman, the county seat
of Mohave county, in Arizona, and
the other is Needles, just across the
Colorado river and in California. The
automobiles make the trip
from Kingman or Needles to Oatman
easily in two hours.
Climate.
The climate of the region is arid,
the annual precipitation being only 5
inches, that is to say, much less than
the evaporation. The winters are
mild and the summers, while hot dur

DISTRICT, AR|z.
NO POOR MANS CAMP
MINES REQUIRE LARGE CAPITAL
TO PROVE VALUE-A
REAL BOOM.
&c. A. Ritter in Mining World)

(E A, fltLeT III MlnlnS WOfluJ
Oatman is experiencing a genuine
mining boom, and many timers
from the early days of Cripple Creek,
tonopah and Goldfield mix there
again together and with the throng
of the newcomers.
In way, the district is an old one,
the Moss mine in the northern part of
the area having been discovered in
1863 or 1864, and a number of other
properties having been located from
time to time since then.
The two main producers of the dis
trict, the Gold Road mine and the
Tom Reed, were located in 1900, and
have been worked continuously since,
Both have their shafts 900 feet deep,
with the ore going down deeper, and
have explored the lodes for distances
of several thousand feet on their
strikes. The Gold Road has one con-
tinuous ore shoot 1900 feet long, and
has mined ore in quantities for a dis
lance of 1000 feet ON the VEIN The
Tom Reed mine has mined for similar
distances.
The Gold Road mill treats about
5000 tons per month, which is said to
average about IS to 50. The gross
past production of the mine is esti-
mated at over $6,000O00
The Tom Reed mill treats 1000 tons
per month of quite high grade for
milling ore. The value of the ore
treated averaged from $40 to $40 dur
ing the last few years.
The total production to date ex-
ceeds $6,OOO,0OO. The cost of mining
is between So and So
| Yet what has attracted the attention
of the outside world has been the
development last year of remarkable
ore bodies in the United Eastern and
Big Jim mines below outcrops which
hardly show on the surface of the
ground. Since then, development has
been carried actively on score of
properties, and the results obtained
have kept the enthusiasm and have
increased the confidence in the future
of the district.
Peculiar Geological Conditions.
Due to peculiar geological condi-
tions, several ore bodies, which have
proven of great value at depths rang
ing from 200 to 600 feet, do not show
up on the surface, and the veins them
selves are quite inconspicuous. This
forces the mine operators to thorough
and, of course. rather expensive pros
pecting by shaft sinking, to a depth of
several hundred feet before starting
any prosecuting or drifting. Yet
more than 100 companies have been
formed; about 40 of them have start
ed work or are carrying on actively
extensive mining operations, and a
dozen of them have opened up bodies
of milling grade ore
Oatman is no poor mans camp, on
account of the expensive work re-
CURED for prospecting at depth, and
because of the fact that, so far, the
ore bodies when found have to be
milled on the ground This calls for

The republicans of Idaho, in state
convention assembled at the city of
Twin Falls, on the goth day of April,
1916, for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the republican national con-
vention, which convenes at Chicago
on the 18th day of June, 1916, take this
occasion to call the attention of the
people of this state to the ract that
never before in the history of our coun
try has our national prestige fallen
to so low a state, and our affairs at
home been managed with such deplor-
able ncompeteney as has been wit
messed by the American people in the
full and unrestricted democratic con-
troll of the government.
Cites Dscord and Shame.
1t has been record of unparalleled
incapacity, discord and shame Our
men and women have been murdered,

and within the boundaries of the
United States, and denied the prorec-
ton of the Stars and Stripes oy the

gress
The honor of our government and
the rights of American citizens have
been trampled under the feet Of MeXi-
can bandits. Our rights as '.eutral
nation have been outraged, contrary
to all international law, and nothing
has been done by the presoa- demo-
cratic administration, except the pre-
paratim and delivery of notes Of
apology which have successfully re-
tracted each position takcE ty our
government.
! Our rights to the open door in
China, which were firmly established
by that great statesman, Secretary
Hay, are being taken away from US
by the Japanese government, and
without a word of protest.
Rescue Is Necessary.
| Every conception of public safety
and honor demands that the govern
ment shall be rescued from the hands
of the democratic party, which has
shown itself incapable to conduct it,
and we congratulate the people Of the
United States upon the certain re-
turn to power of the republican par
ty.
We view. with satisfaction the
changes of condition and thought,
which have operated to rounite our
own great and useful party for the
work now necessary for it to do.
We send hearty greetings to all our
republicans in congress and fully ap-
preciate the able and faithful efforts
by them in behalf of the best interests
of the state of Idaho.
We congratulate Senator Brady up
on the rapid improvement of his
health and express it as the earnest
wish of the people of Idaho that he
may speedily be in possession of his

Tribute to Eorah.
We send greetings to our senior
senator, whose wisdom has ever

which will command honor and re-

government which Washington, Ham

Capt. Billy Will Be "On the Job

Capt. w. B. Allgood was in town
Tuesday for the first time in quite
while and his numerous friends were
delighted to see him. He informs US
that he expects to be with the other old
soldiers>in ,Pickens at the reunion June
3, but that he expects this will be the
last reunion he will be able to attend
here. and he wants all the "old boys"
who possibly can to be here that day.
We don't like to think about Capt. Bill
not being at our old soldiers reunion,
and it wouldn't seem quite the same
without him, and while he is gettiug up
in years we trust his wonderful forti-
tudc and constitution will enable him to
be longer with us than he may imagine.
