PASS SKINS" THIS CAMP, SAYS
 OWNER OF CLAIMS
CFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.)

AA ENAA OhLuAal oeGllOu DAAAy mlueE.l
 It has Oatman skinned in a thou sand ways" said J. s. Harrison yes terday in a burst Of enthusiasm over the mineral richness of Union Pass. Everybody who is working there is working on ore. If they haven't ore to work on they don't work. In Oat man they have to sink to a great depth before they get ore to work on. Union Pass seems to be about as rich as Oatman and the ore bodies are a great deal larger. They are found at the surface, which makes that extra sinking unnecessary. It is going to be an immense big camp with i'm mense big ore bodies and look for large population there this fall. It may depend upon a renewal of acti- witty in Oatman and it may not, for something may be struck out there that will attract attention indepen- dently of Oatman and be a benefit to both places"
 Mir Harrison has long been known as an enthusiast over the greatness of Union Pass and high-geared op- timist at all times over the mining situation in general. As a sample of his enthusiasm he is the owner of sev- eral hundred interests and claims at Union Pass. Some are in the hands of partners. Many of them are under bond to other parties, generally capi- talists who have agreed to develop them. A few more he sold during the past summer for cash. And some he is working himself.
 The Frisco mine, he reports, has been started under a new regime and with a good force of men, with a determination to do lots of develop ment. It has started a tunnel to tap a big lead that has a northwesterly and southeasterly course and is the main lead of the country. It shOwH continually on top and yields assays of S70 to $50. The tunnel will gain a depth of 100 feet. It is in the hands of New York people with a Los An geles man in charge.
 The Oatman-Revenue has a particu- larly good showing, according to MT. Harrison. Its values, he states, will average S16 a ton and there is an immense amount of ore A hoist will be had soon.
 The Banner is working and down 60 to 70 feet It is sinking on the footwall and is very rich-indeed, a wonderful showing. The ledge is 80 feet in width. H. L. Vaughn is in charge for San Diego people who have plenty of money.
 The Thumb Butte is working and is down $40 feet. A. B. Daniels, a California millionaire, has it. He bought twelve adjoining claims this summer from Mir. Harrison. Daniels is crosscutting at the 800 and will have to 20 70 or 80 feet. At the 200 the ledge measured TAT feet of solid ore. said to run better than s10. There are spots of very rich ore. A sample was given to the Daily Miner correspondent, an assay on part of

the chunk went S11,OOO a ton.
 The Arabia company is figuring on a mill. From the water level at 8O feet to the surface it has ore enough to pay for the mine and build a mill. The vein is 100 to 300 feet wide and assays throughout.
 The Catherine company is arrang- ing to start soon also. Charles Sher- man is at the head of the company and will have charge.
 The High Grade property has been sold to a concern at Los Angeles by George Bonelli and Lon Terra. The Los Angeles people are represented by Harry Chandler, manager of the Times. It produced some exceedingly rich rock earlier in the summer.
 The Arataba, which is being finan- ced by Mrs. J. c. Garinger, is an extension of the High Grade.
 The country is mineralized all the way from Oatman and away south of here, in fact, to Union Pass and beyond. Mir. Harrison defines the limits of Union Pass properties as ten miles in extent. All of this has values on the surface, he declares, the whole thing being a great mineralized zone. It differs from Oatman in being strictly a contact country, with an- desite, rhvolite or Dorphyry hanging and granite footwalls,

WAR ADVANCES VALUE
OF SHIPS 200 TIMES

London, Dec. "a vessel has just
been sold for 200 times her value
several years ago. AS a shipping in
vestment the deal represents the
largest profit made during the war
A few years ago a British steam
er which had stranded on the South
American coast was sold, as she
lay. to neutrals for 1900 pounds. The
purchasers had her refioated and
repaired and employed her In trade.
She has now been resold for 320. 900
pounds. being 200 times the price
paid for her as a wreck
This price takes no account of the
cost of salving and repairing the
ship, but presumably these expen-
ses would have been amply covered
by her earnings since she was salv-
ed, including two years of extreme
ly high freights. The present price
merely represents the current value
of tonnage.

ALASKA FAVORED
BY BUMPER CROPS
EXCELLENT RESULTS SHOWN BY
REPORT OF AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Alaskan
crops in 1915 we're grown under the
most favorable season for years, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
four Alaskan agricultural expert
'ment stations just published by the
Department of Agricslture. Grain
ripened and matured early and veg
etables and berries produced abun-
dant crops.
Excellent results were reported in
the development of a hybrid straw
berry combining the hardy charac-
teristics of the native stock and the
quality OF fruit of sorts cultivated
in the States. Most of the hybrids
were developed at the Sitka station
In Southeastern Alaska where agri-
cultural experts predict a still bet
ter berry before long. Certain va
rieties OF apples have been grown in
the coast country and what is believ-
ed to be the first apple blossom in
Central Alaska is reported from
Rampant Station, rs miles South of
the Arctic circle.
Many new and early varieties of
grain have been produced in Alas
ka. Work has been continued in
breeding strains of alfalfa better
adapted to Alaskan conditions.
Sheep. the reports declare, will do
well on Kodiak Island and the coast
region In normal winters the ami
mails could maintain themselves with
little feed, it is declared. For the
development OF a satisfactory beef
animal II is recommended that yaks
he imported from Asia for crossing
with hardy cattle. Horse breeding
also is recommended for Alaska.

SAYS SPOTLIGHT PISTOL
WILL DECREASE CRIME

A pistol WHICH throws a spotlight
and sends a bullet into the spot is
the invention of p. f. Kruse, of
Louisville. Mr.. Kruse only after
ten years effort has perfected the
invention, which he claims will elm
mate duels between officers and law
breakers and greatly lessen the an
nual number of homicides in the
country.
The invention, in reality, is not
pistol. but a searchlight which can
be cIamped on to the barrel of any
pistol. II consists of small bat
terry, but powerful; a tube, in which
is an electric bulb. resting at right
angles to the revolver barrel and con-
nected with another tube running
alonogside the revolver barrel.
Through the latter tube the light is
detected by mirror. Clamps make
the lighting attachment adjustable
to any pistol. The lever by which
the light is operated is near the re-
volver trigger. With the same fin
ger one throws on the light and pulls
| the trigger. With the searchlight
/ the attacking party-presumably a
/ burglar-is located, and if he does
not Immediately surrender bullet
can be sent into his heart with dead
/ ly aim.
Mr.. Kruse has applied for pat
ent on his invention and intends TO
begin the manufacture of them in
