Mohave County miner., 1916-09-23

Appreciation of the importance of the strike in the Aztec shaft of the Tom Reed, which has been felt more by the people of Oatman than any occurrence for six months or more, is shared in kind by the officials of the company and the latter made no sec ret of it. N. P. Moerdyke, president, Charles Mushrush, vice president and w. L. Lawrence, secretary, arrived yesterday from Pasadena to inspect it and they did not attempt to conceal their enthusiasm.
 "We have opened the ore for a width of 20 feet" said Mir. Moerdyke, land no wall in sight yet. We have reason to believe that what we have reached there is only a horse and by going on through it we should find a lot more ore.
 "The values are not as high as first but they are very good. The ore averages $15 a ton at that point but is better in a drift that we have started to make connection with the Black Eagle. At one point it $50.
 "In fact, there is every reason to believe that we are only on the top of the ore shoot and that by sinking deeper we will open something quite equal to the published reports of S30 a ton average.
 "We have only 65 feet of drifting to make the connection with the Black

COCONINO COUNTY MEN
 VISITING THIS COUNTY

George Babbitt, Joe PrOchnOw and Fred Hensing of Flagstaff were call CTS at the Daily Miner office last evening. The gentlemen had just re- turned from Oatman, where they have been looking into the affairs of the oatman Amalgamated Mining com pany, and elected officers for the en- suing year.
 They were satisfied with the trend of events at the mines and expect to push work to deeper levels. J. T. Burns accompanied them to Kingman from Oatman. They expect to go out to Chloride today, in company with Tom Cornish, who has mining interests in that camp.

WRIGLEY TUNNEL
 MAKING HEADWAY
[FrOm Oatman Section Daily A1in.r.I

The tunnel of the Wrigley Ex- ploration company has made an ad- vance of about 90 feet since opera tions were resumed nearly two weeks ago. It is now in 175 feet, having been 8S when work was resumed.
 The formation is trachyte, that material appearing in the form of a heavy flow covering a broad belt for several miles in that part of the camp. It is very hard and tough, but Con tractors Fleming and Stitzer are making fine headway.
 Mining Engineer c. H. James states that he never saw a plant work better. It operates almost without noise and more economically than any similar sized plant in the district. It uses a minimum of crude oil.
 N. E. Guyot, secretary and manager of the company, came over from King man yesterday and visited the prop erty.

ELKS' FUNERAL SERVICES
 OVER VICTIMS OF WRECK

The members of Kingman lodge No. 468, B. P. o. E. held the funeral services of the order over the remains of Engineer Gholson and Fireman Micky Osborne, killed in the recent railroad wreck near here, last even ing at the chapel of the Van Marter undertaking parlors here. The re- mains of both were sent east on No. 2 last night, A. W. Sheene, W. R. Carty and J. E. Clark, representing the Elks, Bremen and Engineers, accompanying the remains. The body of engineer Gholson goes to La Hunta, Colorado, and fireman Osborne to Logansport, Indiana, where Mrs. Osborne his widow, resides. One of the pathetic incidents of the death of Engineer Gholson, was the finding of a picture of a young girl among his effects, and on the back of the photo graph is the one word waiting. Gholson and the girl were to soon be welded, but the waiting" will be eternity.

NEW PEOPLE ID
 START WORK AT
 MOSS AND HARDY
(FrOm oatman seetIon DaiIy nnner.l

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 The famous old Moss mine is to become active at once and on an ex- tensive scale. A deal has been con- cluded by A. c. Werden with the people comprising the Venture com pany, which developed the San Ger trude and Camp Birds mines. With MT. Werden as superintendent the work is to start soon on a double com partment shaft to go down 600 feet.
 It is stated that the same people are to take up the Crossley option on the old Hardy mine and start work there also. The Crossley option would have lapsed for want of work by next February, but recently George Miller, the owner, said work was to start soon.
 MT. Werden has been unwatering the Moss for several weeks. At the same time it has been known that some eminent engineers representing large financial interests were here examining the property.
 It also is stated on good authority that Pittsburg people have taken bond on the Mossback property, out near and east of the Moss, and will start unwatering it quite soon. All three are old producers and their ac- ticity means much to Oatman.

FOUR FINE HOMES
 FOR J. f. OFFICIALS
CFrOm oatman Section Daily Miner.)

CFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 A residence is being erected on an eminence of the United Eastern prop erty for Superintendent J. A. Burgess. It will be one of the largest and most complete homes in Oatman, costing $3,000 and containing eight or nine rooms. The frame work has been up for several days and the task of in- closing it is under way.
 Mir. Burgess has acted as his own architect, planning the building ac- cording to modern ideas. The Con tractors are Messrs. King and Major. It is on the general lines of a bunga- low, and will have a great deal of inclosed screen veranda space, with an ample interior, conveniently arranged.
 It is the expectation that three other fine residences will be started at once for other United Eastern men. One will be for W. O. forth, mill superin- tendent, another for B. c. Staiger, mining engineer and the third for J. B. Stratton who is employed in the department of Secretary Wallace Keith. They are to be built by the individual employees, no arrangement as yet having been made for company houses. The last three structures re- ferred to are to be bungalows also and well built, approaching in size the Burgess residence.

A baseball game between teams explained by G. R. Franklin on the one side and Judge John A. Ellis on the other will be one of the worth while events of the near future. The game is to be played for the benefit of the hospital fund and promises to be one of the best ever seen in King man.
 The Miner will in due time announce the date of the contest and publish a list of the players.

NELLIE STRIKES
 VEIN IN SHAFT

The Nellie shaft is in almost solid quartz at a depth of S61 feet. What the values are will be known early to- day.
 This follows directly upon resump- tion of work. The shaft stood at $50 for several weeks while the pump and larger plant were on the way. A few days ago sinking was resumed and in eleven feet revealed ore or something closely resembling that desirable sub stance.
 Samples of the rock were brought to town and one big chunk left at the office of the Jewett-Robinson- Wollberg company attracted much at- tention and favorable comment.

TOM REED OFFICIALS DECLARE
 AZTEC STRIKE IMPORTANT FIND

Eagle, which will give us air cOnnec- tion and show up the good milling values which nave already been opened there for over 300 feet. That will be finished in day or two.
 "It appears to be bigger than any thing previously struck in the Tom Reed mine, larger, in fact, than the old workings"
 At this juncture Mir. Lawrence was introduced to the Daily Miner repre- sentative and he asked about condi- tions in Oatman. Being informed in reply that the Aztec strike apparently was doing more to restore confidence among local people than anything happening since the development of the United Eastern, he said:
 ''Yes, and it will be justified by this strike. Men who have seen it and are acquainted with the characteristics of the camp are convinced that we are only at the apex of the shoot and that our values below will a great deal more than justify this better feeling that you speak of. We are going to sink deeper at once and find out what there is underneath. It is our opinion that we have the greatest deposit right there in the camp"
 Both Messrs. Moerdyke and Law renee stated that there was no ques- tion of there being continuous shoot from the Block Eagle to the United Eastern.

The number of deaths resulting from the wreck early yesterday morning of Santa Fe westbound train No. 8, known as the California Limited, on the sharp curve a half mile east of Kingman, was increased to four yesterday afternoon when John Truddick and William Dickens, second and third cooks, respectively, of the dining car destroyed in the smash-up, expired while being con veyed to Los Angeles. It is believed that the other injured members of the dining car crew aud trainmen will re- cover.

CAL|FORN|A LIMITED
 WRECKED; FOUR KILLED

, at Bagdad, Cal, while Dickens, who, in addition to sustaining a fracture of the skull immediately above the forehead, was badly burned about the legs and feet, passed away as the train bearing the injured approached New berry, Cal.
 Truddick's home was Tn Chicago, while Dickens hailed from Colorado Springs, Colo. Despits his terrible injury, Dickens did not lose con- sciousness following his rescue from the overturned dining car and freely cOnversed with the physicians and by islanders while the former were ad- ministering medical aid. In response to questions at that time Dickens gave his full name and his address as 218 East Dale Street, Colorado Springs.
 With the dawning of day the body of Fireman Mickey Osborne, which previously could not be found in the wreckage, was discovered submerged in large pool of crude oil and water, which escaped from the tender, near the cabin of the demolished locomo- tive and within ten feet from where the dead body of Engineer Ralph GhOlson was found jammed between the top of the boiler and the roof of the cab. Osborne apparently fell from the cab as the locomotive turned almost upside down after leaving the track. The bodies of the engineer and fireman were taken about o'clock yesterday morning to Needles, Cal, their home, after they had been viewed by Coroner Cohenour and the jury impaneled by him to inquire into the wreck.
 Engineer Gholson was unmarried His surviving relatives reside in the east. Fireman Osborne was recently married in the east and only a few days ago completed arrangements for the purchase of a home in Needles, to which he intended to bring his bride from her eastern home in the near future.
 Although the cause of the wreck re- mains yet to be definitely determined, it is the theory of railroad men and all other persons who view ed it yesterday that it was due to the pony truck of the locomotive leaving the rails as it rounded the curve at a speed estimated by surviving mem bers of the train crew to have been 45 miles an hour. It is thought that the ponies" became loose and, after leaving the rails, forced the six big drive wheels to follow. The pony truck was found not less than 400 feet from the locomotive.

THE POTATO PATCH

In most parts of Arkansas
it is possible to grow two crops
of Irish potatoes on the same
ground in one season. Then can
any farmer have any excuse
for not growing enough pota-
toes for his own table from
June to March. Only a small
patch will be needed if the
ground be we'll plowed, and the
crop we'll cultivated and cared
for. AS the first crop is dug for
the family the next crop should
be planted. In one county last
year half the white farmers
bought potatoes for family use
and each one could have raised
enough and to spare on waste
ground around the house.
Plant potatoes and plant early
and then plant for a second
crop.

NOT IN POLITICS

Gov. Hays says he is not in
politics at present, a candidate
for no office, and has been led
to defend his record in the pub
lie prints because ofthe attacks
by DR.. Brough. DR.. Brough is
hardly justifiable in trying to
shift the real issues of this cam
paign for governor, by drawing
Governor Hays into tilt seems
that the issues are very clearly
defined, and DIR. Brough can
not get away from his own plat
form made early in the cam
paign, by attempting to shift
attention to the administration
of Governor Hays; and admin
istration, by the way, for which
Earle Hodges is no more re-
sponsible than is DR.. Brough.
CLAY County Courier.
We wonder what would have
been the doctors attitude had
Governor Hays seen fit to sup
port him instead of Mr.. Hodges.

THE COW PASTURE

Of course every farmer
should have a permanent pas
ture with Bermuda grass and
bur clover and white clover.
For the farmer who has not
gotten this pasture ready the
Extension Division of the Ark
ansas College of Agriculture
would recommend patches of
spring oats with white clover
and red clover. If farmer has
but one or two cows he could
make use of unfenced patches
and tether the COWS. Two or
three such small patches will
add to the milk and butter sup
ply.
