REPORT HAS IT THAT
OATMAN WILL BOOM

Z. T. Torpey. MANAGER of the Cold
road-Bonanza Mining Company, say"
the Mohave Miner, has returned from
trip to San Francisco and brings
back a verdict from what evidence
was placed before him that Oatman
Is going to get its share Of the good
times this fab.

mistake they were making. They are
knocking Big Jim mostly and have
shorted' it more or less. | know most
Of the brokers there and went direct
TO headquarters and told them the
situation here as I know it. The Big
Jim is the bone Of contention and a
report has been spread that it had
agreed to sink to the SEQ but had
started the present drifting instead.
This caused n big block of stock to be
thrown on the market and the price
went down to 20. | notice now it is

shorting' and for the price to fall
again but it will come back strong

of the reports is that the ore on the

management gives everyone who be-
lieVes such reports every opportunity
TO satisfy himself that they are not
true. You can go into the mine and
sample it for yourself or have an
engineer to do it. Everything is op"n

idea it Is being run right There - o.,

EXAMINER PICTURE
OUTFIT BACK FROM
TRIP ALONG LINE

The San Francisco Examiner Motion
Picture car, driven by Ira Hemmngs
of the San Francisco Studebaker
branch and under the charge of II. G.
Coleman, art manager of the Examiner
arrived in Phoenix last night on its
way back home. from Nogales.
Soon after the California troops left
for the border, numerous complaints
started to roll in on the coast papers,
telling of the troubles the militiamen
had to contend with The main one
of these, outside of the intense heat
had to do with the lack of amuse-
ments.
Taking pity on the California boys,
the Examiner called upon the various
exchanges in San Francisco. asking
Tor donation of films to be taken to
the border. The exchanges responded
with an open hand. The question of
transportation coming up, the Stude-
baker branch volunteered the use of
late model car.
Between $4,000 and 10000 feet of
films were gathered up, mostly comics
and animated cartoons, an inquiry de-
Neloping the fact that the troops were
strong for anything with a humorous
strain.
In an interview last night. Mr.. Cole
man was particularly enthusiastic over
lne performance OF the Studehaker.
The trip across the deserts and noun
tains with the heavy load carried, had
been made without mishap Tests of
every sort had been applied to the
machine and a ready response came
each time. Threesof the Goodrich tires
carried California air upon their ar
rival in Nogales.
In regard to the troops Mr. Cole
man was rather sorry for them. He
was OF the opinion though that if the
government loosencd up enough to pay
the boys on the border things would
soon be normal. At the present time
there is a chronic state of poverty in
all the camps. In fact some of the
men had not seen a motion pictlye in
weeks. not having the price.
From all indications and from in
formation picked up along the line,
Coleman was of the opinion that it is
but short time, possibly a month or
so, when the present state of friendli-
ness existing between the United
states and Senior Carranza would be
shattered into a million pieces. The
longedfo day will be celebrated with
sincere joy by the troops, who are tired
OF the long wait this side of the line.
About 5000 feet of films were made
on the line of the California troops and
their camps. These together with the
pictures of their departure from home
viii be developed and sent back to
the troops

MARKET NEWS

A day of urgent liquidation in the
motor shares and Sugar stocks which
has resulted in selling of balance Of
list by those who have been hurt or
frightened. OF the war group, Ameri-
can Locomotive has held the best
Crucible and Car Foundry losing prin-
cipally of their recent rise. In the
former, we hear that the earnings
will prove disappointing. The latter
stock really never had any reason for
the advance, except for sympathy with
the rest of the group. London selling
of the rails has been apparent. With
out question, a fair short interest is
coming in the motors, especially
Studebaker. and WHY'S Overland. The
latter shows less rallying power than
any of the others. This market is too
narrow to run very far either way
without a fair reaction, as it has
been going down fast for several days

good reaction at any time on the up
track.
