Prices and Not
Turks Get Axe
In Pitsburq

PITTSBURGH. Nov. 90. With
the public refusing to buy turkeys
at high prices the market has suf-
fered another onslaught and prices
today were as low as is cents per
pound for live fowls and a large
supply was on hand. Shippers who
had sent carloads and boatloads
here expecting to sell them at 35
cents per pound live weight found
few buyers and they had to slash
quotations or find no takers.
Some shipped turkeys back to
Ohio and West Virginia rather
than sell them at the low prices in
sisted upon by the public. Others
accepted what they could get. 1t
is expected quotations will go still
lower today.

Report Issued By
 Jerome-Oatnan Co.

tinue sinking, with every indication of
 The Jerome Oatman Mining Com pany this week issued to its share holders a report on the workings of the mine and the progress made on the big shaft. The shaft has reached a depth of 300 feet, where a heavy flow of water was encountered. While the water has delayed the work to some extent, it will be of great value when the orc bodies are opened.
 The Jerome Oatman has been con scicntiously at work the past ten months and has made great progress with the work in hand. During that time the shaft has been sunk to the present level and big equipment in- stalled. Had the machinery been on the ground when work was first start ed the shaft would have been below the 600 level at this time. Owing to heavy demands on all manufacturers of machinery, it is found almost i'm possible to equip mining properties in the Oatma1 field without vexatious delays.-Mohave County Miner.
