TRANSFORMATIONS STRIKES BIG BODY
 OE MILLING ROCK
IFrOm Oatman Section Daily Mlnsr.I

SeN-+-AA 1AAA
 The Lexington-Arizona seems des- tined to~ be the next real mine of Oatman. At a vertical depth of no feet and 126 in an incline shaft, it has opened 30 inches of ore that averages S13.5O a ton. This information is de finite and is vouched for by Manager H. E. Woods.
 There are nine feet or more of pOrus oxidized quartz on the footwall that will pay to mill. MT. Woods has not figured the average and does not make that as an authorized statement, but he has had a number of assays run and others who have averaged them have found the nine feet to run $10 a ton.
 In every way the ore looks like that of the Tom Reed and other mines of the district at the point where ore was struck. Its shallow depth causes it to be unusually oxidized, but other wise it is the typical white quartz of the camp and all there for every re- quirement 10 make the Lexington into a mine as soon as enough of this ore shall have been blocked ouJ to give it an "in sight" tonnage.
 What gives a thrill of joy to all who have stood by Oatman through the darkest hours is the fact that it is off of the main ledge and with the striking of this ore body Mir. Woods has shattered the theory of the croak- CTS that there could be no ore in Oat- man save on the one main ladge of the Tom Reed and United Eastern, and that right in face of the fact of the Goldroad on another ledge has taken out millions.
 The Lexington has been sinking several shallow shafts of and on for a year or more and from one main shaft was supplying Old Trails with water for domestic use. This was sold to the Oatman Water and Sewer company and the company will stick to mining for gold.
 The incline on the hanging wall side was started there to afford cas- fer work, which was done without power drills and at 126 feet water was encountered. Not being prepared at present to go beyond the water level and the ledge having straighten- ed up to the extent of dipping inverse ly out of the shaft, a crosscut for it was started and was soon at home in the ledge matter again The moment it was struck it looked natural and like the real thing being sought for and MT. Woods felt so jubilant over | it that he asked the Daily Miner to say nothing until the whole ledge was crosscut, for he did not want another flash in the pan in Oatman. This was two weeks ago. The ledge has proved to be 30 feet wide and about q feet of it will run a few dollars-around S4 and S6 and odd amounts. There are seams of good stuff interlaced here and there and in the nine feet that condition is especially apparent.
 It is a very interesting find and one that is destined from every reasonable

OPERATIONS TO BE RESUMED
 AT THE BLACKBERRY MINE
From Wednesday'e Daily MinerI

Manager L. W. Wickes yesterday sent out supplies and prepared to re- sume work at the Blackberry mine which shut down a few days ago.
 Mir. Wickes reports that several good faces of ore have been opened up and that with greater depth and systematic exploration of the ground above the 800 level, the mine should pull out a winner.
 Shipping ore has been opened up in the property, but blocking out will be continued for some time to ascer- tain the possibilities of the mine as a shipper of smelting ores.

SAMARITAN PROPERTY
 WILL BE DEVELOPED

The Samaritan group in the Lost Basin district is about to be operated on a good scale. Supplies will go out to the camp this morning and the ma chinery will follow soon. A camp has already been established in we'll sit uated part of the property.
 The Lost Basin country should be- come one of the best mining sections of the state, the veins being large and well mineralized.

CHICAGO SYNDICATE
 CROSSCUT ADVANCING

The Chicago Syndicate, under the energetic management of c. R. Me Collom, has driven it's crosscut 13O feet. The object of the crosscutting at this time, the depth being 25O feet is to merely explore the underground region and fix a plan of development when lower depths are attained. In a short time the shaft will be con- tinued to 500 feet, where it is hoped and believed that ore will be exposed.
 There is a fine surface ledge system containing four veins, all in a com paratively narrow space.

KINGMAN WILL HAVE
 BIG BUILDING BOOM

A well known business man of Kingman, in conversation with Daily Miner representative, yesterday stated that he knew of many fine residences and business buildings that would be erected before the first of next Jan uary. Plans for many of the build ings have already been prepared and others are in course of preparation.
 Kingman needs fully 100 houses foI residential purposes, and should they be erected tenants would be forth coming.

GOLD ORE ID HAVE
 ITS OWN MILL SOON

Before starting for San Francisco yesterday forenoon, via Kingman, A. c. Werden stated that it would be a matter of only a little more time until he would be able to announce definite news in regard to a mill for the Gold Ore property at Goldroad. He said there were several deals pending to that end and it was uncertain which one might go through, but it was cer- tain that the mill would come as a result of one of them.
 That the property will justify a mill there is no question. For sev- eral months past it has been shipping ore to the Goldroad mill at a rate, it is stated, of 30 tons a day. The ore has given a general average of about S2O a ton, with some as low as S15 and considerable worth $35. Naturally only a small amount has been milled under the circumstances and an immense amount is held in re- serve for the company's own plant.
 The Gold Ore is one of the real producing mines of Arizona. It ships ore with constant regularity and could keep a mill of it's own going for years. With the liberal manage ment of Manager Werden, who looks to the welfare of the town he lives in, it will be a great thing for Gold road and the whole Oatman country.

 Work is to be started in a short time on the Paragon group, lying be- tween the Lazy Boy and Esperanza- It is given out that a shaft will be sunk 500 feet, from which depth crosscutting and drifting will be prosecuted.
 It previously was opened by 2O0- foot tunnel, by Joseph Krauss, locator and former owner. He states that values are generally distributed there in.
 D. S. Scoville, a mining engineer, will arrive shortly from Chicago as a representative of Blachford and Cameron, who are fiscal agents for the company. w. c. Eichenberger will represent the company in 0atman.

MOSS ID SINK DEEPER
 AFTER UNWATERING
[FrOn Oatman seetion paiIy Miner.l

The unwatering of the old Moss mine will be completed abous August 28, according to A. c. Werden, mana ger of the company that has purchas- ed the property.
 Immediately thereafter sinking will be started and will be continued to a further depth of 200 feet, the present depth of the old bonanza being 220. It is vertical shaft. At APO a cross cut for the ledge will be driven and drifting or any other necessary work will be done.
 The unwatering is being done by three shifts of baling with a large bucket and while slow it is thought that there will be no difficulty in holding the water down to a much greater depth without the purchase of a pump at this time.

(From oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 Various rumors have had it of late that the United Eastern magnates, wno recently purchased control of the Sunnyside company, have also ac- quired the Oatman Queen.
 Seeley w. Mudd, Colonel D. c. Jack ling, Frank A. Keith, Phillip Wise man and others are the capitalists in question. J. A. Kennard, who has been in charge of the property, states that it has been financed and it is presumed that this deal is referred to.
 The former heads of the company were B. M. Johnson, Frank Gwynne. F. E. Agnew, W. E. Moore and Mir. Kennard.

calculation to figure heavily in the near future and the great hereafter of iOatman.
 The Lexington is just east of Old Trails town, part of the group being in the town. The shaft where the strike was made is closest to town and is in sight on the ridge from the auto road. The ledge system is of immense importance. One ledge comes out of the Boundary Cone, another near mine with milling ore at $50 and 750. Another comes from the Gold Dust or Orion. Various ones converge in the Lexington ground and are in plain sight with high standing croppings.
