DEVELOP MENTS
 IN OATMAN FIELD
SPRINGER OF HIGH GRADE ORE IS DEVELOPED IN THE IVANHOE CONSOLE DATED PROPERTY.

OATMlAN. .Ariz., Jan. 2.-At 40 feet depth the stringer of high grade ore being developed in the lvanhoe Consolidated property has opened to three feet or more in width, and the operators are sacking orc for ship ment. The four-inch stringCr of rich ore which was encountered during the work of stripping the vein at sur face was followed downward by an incline shaft. and the strong vein to which if led seems 10 indicate that somewhat important body of orc may be developed there. It IS too carly as yet to predict the outcome of th!s work, but the vein IS a highly en- couracing one. The orc 1t IS said av- erages better than Sl00 per ton.
 Charles l.. Knox. president of the Montana-To Tonopan Company, has talk en an active interest Fl the Times Mining Company on behalf of East ern interests. which arc reported to have put something like S3OO,OOO into the property. This is one of the most promising looking properties of the district, and extensive developments will be started at once.
 Developmeut of the ore shoot re- covered below the fault zone m the Tom Reed mine has yielded consider able high grade ore. This IS at l,l/o feet. Development nere seems to show that the vein in average width is as strong as it was above the fault zone, and that the average value oi the orc is quite a bit higher than m fine upper levels. Last week the company shipped bullion to the San Francisco mint valued at something over S90000. representing the Dccem- ber cleanup.
 Part of the new machinery plant for the United Eastern Company con sisting of a l50-norsc power electro hoist. 7S5-foot compressor. and some lighter equipment, h2s arrived m Kingman and IS being conveyed to the property as rapidly as possible. Officials of the United Eastern state that the plans for the proposed new mill have been completed, and that its erection will be rushed as. rapidly as possible, This latter information would seem to indicate that the otil- cials of the United Eastern do not be- lieve that any pending negotiations relative to a consolidation of the Tom Reed and United Eastern will be sue cessful. If these two properties arc to combine it is very evident that they would operate but one mill, tnus materially keeping down the over head expense.
 The new machinery of the Boun- darv Cone is now in action. The new 5O-horse power hoist is running, and a biz compressor Is to be installed. he shaft will be sunk from the present depth. $50 feet. to 750 feet, and cross cuts run at 650 and 750 feet to de vclop the splendid body ot ore en- countered at $50 feet.
 The Big Jim is steadily carrying its shaft downward, and has attained a depth of 440 feet. Stations will bc cut at 500 and at 600 feet, and skips then placed in commission. and cross cuts driven 10 the big vein wnich has opened at 400 feet.
 Edward w. Brooks. the well known mining engineer. in a late report or the property of the Oatman Col, Mining & Milling Company express ed his belief that the Cross-cut on tho 31O-foot level which penetrated thI vein more than 30 feet in depth, I: above fine ore. He believes that de velopment at lG0 or 200 feet deeper will find an important body ot ore and this company is now starting tc follow out his suggestions.
 In the United Western propertl extensive cross-cutting operations ar' in progress on the 505-foot level, tC inc south a cross-cut IS out IFS feet to the southwest another cut Is ou 15O feet. and io the north cross-cu is out l5O feet The oross-cuts to tn southwest and to the north are en counteri1g many stringcrs of quart showing high naturalization.
 A compressor and a new host hay been installed on the Carter propert and drills will be started this wceh After further exploration Of the orc containing vein cut at the ZoO-ioo level the shaft will be sunk to th 5OOfoot point. and extensive develop me1t done at depth. The operator believe that the splendid ore develor ed at 250 feet depth Is the top of a important orc shoot WHICH. JuuSli by the character of the vein. IS e pected to continue to extreme depti
 The Ivanhoe, Jerome -Oatman, Uni ed Western. Arizona Tom Reed. Ca man Gold Mining & Milling. Iell' ride and Black Range are now points in development where disco' cries of ore may be looked for at an lime.
 Tn the central part of the distri' tne Fessenden. Gold Range, Luck Boy and Sunnyside are just a lit ways behind them in point oi deve opment.
 The district at this time seems be in its most interesting stage. ' discoveries Of ore in the Big Jir Boundary Cone. Carter and Gold O' have causei much excitement. ar should any of these properties nar cd just above come into ore within comparatively short time. popular i terest in this new gold camp will doubled and quadrupied.
