MILL ID
 START UP BEFORE
 FIRST OF NEW YEAR
tFrom oatman seetIon DaIIy MInsrl

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner)
 That the United Eastern mill will be producing bullion before the first of the new year is now a foregone conclusion. The immense building is now almost completed. The roof is on and the finishing touches are be- ing made. The last of the IT large redwood tanks are being placed and the mills of various types are all in place and being trued up. The neces- sary pipe work is being rushed to completion.
 All the big electric motors are in place, and are being wired. The class ifiers are in place and the elevators are being erected. The large crush ing plant has been completed for some time and the conveyor is all but in readiness for the start. The machine and blacksmith shops are complete and are turning out equipment for the mill. Several carloads of steel balls have been delivered at the mill and will soon be placed in the mills in readiness for the start.
 The mine is in readiness to furnish the ore when everything is complete at the mill. The new shaft is down to the 6OO-foot point and a station. is being cut. When completed drifts will be opened and made ready for opera tions. When actual production at the Eastern is reality a wonderful sys- tenn of underground work will start. In stoping, the stopes will be filled as fast as the ore is taken out. Bare ly enough room to accommodate two or three men will be open at one time. In this manner the entire orebody will be taken out without danger of losing any of the valuable ore or endanger- ing, to any extent, the lives of the men employed. When a round of shots is fired and the ore taken out the next round of shots will be in the waste which will fill the cavity. But little or no timber will be necessary. This will greatly reduce the tonnage cost or production.
 It has been estimated that the United Eastern with its system of mining and modern milling facilities will handle the ore for less than S4 per ton. Should this prove correct it will add much pay ore to the high grade that is in sight. In calculat- ing the orebody at the Eastern no one has estimated the $6 and ST ore above the upper levels.

BODY OF TUNGSTEN ORE OPENED UP IN
 MILLER PROPERTY
fFrom Fridays Daily Mlner.l

J. F. Miller, who came to Kingman yesterday from the Yucca tungsten field, reports that he and associates have opened up a body of ore ap- proximating $49,OOO in value in one of the claims. The property is ex- plored by drifts, crosscuts and raises. The vein is four feet in width and carries about six per cent tungsten and some values in gold. The owners purpose the installation of a small milling plant to work the ores, putting in a large plant when the property has been developed to an extent to justify it.
 Mir. Miller is the owner of the prop critics adjoining the Deluge Wash molybdenite mines, which he has optioned to J. L. Boyle and associates of Los Angeles. These properties are being worked and molybdenite con- centrates are being shipped from them to the company's works at Los An geles, where the concentrates are re- duced to ferro-molybdenum. The en- tire product is said to have been con- tracted for by the Braun company.

.INSTALLS NEAT OIL
 FLOTATION MACHINE
fFrom Fridsy.s Daily MIner.l

The Mohave Assay and Engineering Office has installed one of the neatest and at the same time most successful oil Notation machines that the Miner reporter has seen in the country. The work of this machine is said to be far cleaner than the old type.
 Mir. Jacobson of the company has been experimenting on ores from the various sections of the Cerbat and Wallapai mountain ranges and is get ting excellent results.
 Oil fotation is bound to be the sue cessful treatment for the base ores of the county, but it is the belief of the Miner that the ores will have to be tried out individually. Collective as- sortment of ores are sure to be found hard to handle, as each ore will re- quire a different gravity of oil or treatment.

 S. R. Porter, manager of the Mur- dock and oatman Southern Mining companies, left last evening for the northern part of California, where he will remain for five days. Before leaving Mir. Porter stated that he would have an important announce ment to make regarding the MurdOck and Southern properties upon his re- turn
 It is thought that this announce ment will concern the early resump- tion of operations. The properties are among the most promising in the Black Range section of this camp and the recent showing at the Nellie and Black Range have stimulated interest in them as well as in all other nearby estates.

RICH SPECIMEN FROM
 SILVER HILL MINE
(Fron chIoride seetion paIly MInerl

(From Chloride Section Daily Miner)
 A specimen weighing 475 pounds was taken from the north shaft of the Silver Hill last Saturday and placed on a platform prepared for it in front of Fridley's hardware store in Chlor- idle. It is all ore and has seams of almost pure metal, several inches in width, cutting through it in several places.
 A stone-boat and team of strong horses were requisitioned to haul it from the hill to it's present location. In size it is small, but the specific gravity of it's contents make it hug the earth in a surprising manner.

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner)
 One of the largest aggregations of boosters ever assembled in one party in Mohave county was that which left Oatman at 1 o'clock yesterday after noon for Needles where they will be the guests of honor of the Chamber of Commerce of that town until noon today.
 Every available private and rent auto was put into service for the Oc- casion, and even then there were not accommodations enough for all who wished to make the trip, in response to an invitation from the California town. The invitation was personally delivered by E. N. Baker, secretary of the Needles body.
 Among those who made the trip were Fred Young, Ed c. Jacobs, W. F. Gray, T. E. Fisher, A. G. Heating, E. T. Eisen, E. Fl. McPherson, Paul Geory, Mitchell Carter, H. c. Topp, Ed Half, A. c.

 OPERATED AT MOSS MINE
IFrom Oatman section Daily lTInsr.I

A diamond drill was delivered at the Moss mine Wednesday afternoon and the first hole will be started soon. The hole will be bored on the vein to a depth of 500 feet, after which sec ond hole will be sent down to one side of the vein at a sufficient distance to tap the supposed orebody at a depth of 1500 feet. The machine will take out an inch and a half core at the rate of 25 feet per day.

The work of the county road build. CTS on Tennessee avenue is making g vast improvement in that thorough fare. Already it has been completely rebuilt more than half the distance from the railroad near the Tennessee mine to its intersection with Second street. Enough boulders were taken out at one place to make a stone fence two feet in height and 50 feet in length. This stone was utilized by a nearby property owner for that pur- pose.

 Venture Hill Annual Meeting
 At the annual meeting of the Ven ture Hill company, held a few days ago in this city, W. R. Uber, Ed Kiehl, c. T. Jolly, Phil Pecharich and Ed Shumate were elected directors for the ensuing year. The officers for that period will be: Ed Shumate of Pres colt, president and treasurer; c. T. Jolly of Clarksdale, vice president; W. R. Uber of Los Angeles, secretary, and Ed Kiehl of Prescott assistant secre- tary. The annual report of the com pany, soon to be issued, will show the company to be sound financially, with $14,000 cash and 437,00O shares of stock in it's treasury. The property carries one of the best copper show ings in the Verde district and is being developed jointly with the Verde Apex property under the supervision of John S. Riley of United Verde Exten- sion (Little Daisy) fame.
 Will Double Mine Corps
 The operation being prosecuted in conjunction with the Verde Apex com pany are on a 5O-50 expense sharing basis. A force of 25 men is employed in erecting camp buildings and in grading a site for the joint three-com- partment shaft. As soon as the cook house and sleeping quarters are com pleted the working force is to be dou- bled. The Venture Hill tunnel has been driven to the line of the Verde Apex ground and a crosscut is now being driven from it's face to the site of the shaft. This tunnel has total length of 600 feet and shows native copper and copper sulphides in consid- erable tonnage. The plant of machin- cry, ordered jointly by the Venture Hill and Verde Apex people, is en route to the properties, and the cement foundations on which it will be set are nearing completion.

 PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 14.-Inter- est and investment in Yavapai county copper properties, until recently large ly confined to the Verde district, is ex- banding to other sections of this and the adjoining county of Yuma The movement gained its initial momen- tum from copper ore discoveries of more than ordinary importance made some months ago in the Loma Prieta mine in the Copper Basin section of Yavapai county, and in the Harqua Hala Bonanza mine in the Harqua Rala section of Yuma county. There is reason to believe that both of these properties will in due course become regular producers of copper ore in large tonnage, and that each will be instrumental in demonstrating the eopper-ore-bearing worth of the entire district in which it is located.
 Copper Basin Mines
 The Commercial mine in Copper Basin, owned by the Phelps-Dodge in terests, is shipping from 80 to 100 tons of copper ore daily to smelter, and could increase the daily tonnage considerably were it not for the fact that smelting facilities are not keep ing pace with the output of Arizona's mines, either in this or other mining counties of the state. Adjoining the Commercial mine is the property of the Loma Prieta company, where a body of ore having a general average of 2h per cent copper is being de- veloped. A small tonnage of sorted ore on the dump samples about 15 per cent copper. The property is to be equipped with a modern plant of ma chinery and developed at depth. The present depth of the shaft is 155 feet, and it is in solid body of chalcopy- rite ore from the 80-foot point down.
 Copper Hill a Mine of Promise
 The property of the Copper Hill company, a corporation dominated by E. S. Clark and John J. Jackson of Prescott, is another Copper Basin min ing enterprise for which a highly pro ductive future is predicted. Next to the Commercial mine, the Copper Hill has been developed to a greater extent than any mine in the Basin.
