Progressives Will Swing to
Hughes, Says Moose Worker
Representative Stephens, of California, After Con-
ference With Nominee, Predicts Roosevelt
Backers Will Unite With Republicans.

Representative W. D. Stephens, Pro-
gressive, Of California, yesterday after
noon, after q long conference with
Charles Evans Hughes, announced that
the Progressives will swing to Hughes" "
The announcement was taken here to
mean that the Hughes conferences with
the Progressive leaders yesterday after
noon has resulted In some plan by which
the two parties are to be reunited, be-
lieved to have been suggested by Gen.
Leonard Wood, personal friend Of Col.
Roosevelt
The Progressives will vote for Hughes.
That is al care to say" Representa-
tive Stephens stated as he left the
Hughes residence.
Mr.. Hughes. who came home for a
breathing spell. was far from accom-
plishing that purpose yesterday. A steady
stream of callers-Senators. Representa-
tivee and persons in politics and out
made their way up to the red brick
house on Sixteenth street TO extend their

congratulations, to give political advice
and to suggest speech-makipg trips.
All of these the Republican candidate
received affably, but the net result or
the days conferences was no decision
whatever on the momentous questions
which are before him for answer. To
those he received he indicated clearly
that he expects to arrive at no conclusion
concerning the political course to be fol-
lowed between now and next Novem-
Der until he has consulted Republican
leaders upon his return TO New York to-
night
The one conclusion to be drawn from
Mr.. Hughes activities so far is that II
he decides to run his own campaign, he
is not going to do IT without consulting
the political leaders who are support
ing him. He apparently purposes to take
each step deliberately and shows no sign
whatever of any intention to go 1t
alone" as some of the Republican lead
ers had feared.

CALIFORNIANS MUCH
 INTERESTED IN CAMP

"A lot of Oatman stock is owned in California" said Frank G. Jewett, a broker, yesterday after returning from a sojourn of several weeks at Murietta Springs. "When they find out you are from Oatman they com mence firing inquiries at you about certain companies and stocks, and they have great faith in Oatman.
 q cannot say that times are any better there, but the people are look ing for better times. At any rate, they are expecting great things of Oatman."
 MT. Jewett went to the springs on account of a serious attack of rheu- matism following an accident to his foot and knee. He has completely recovered and is in normal health, ready for the fall activity that he says is coming.

DEMAND fOR LOTS
 STEADILY GROWING
Prom Saturday. Daily MinsrI

SalurQAyB Daly m1nerl
 c. M. Leonard, manager of the Kingman Realty Syndicate, reports numerous sales of lots in the several tracts handled by that concern. Owing to the scarcity of houses to rent many persons are buying lots and building small homes. It is noticeable that the day of the shack and tent is passing and more sub stantial homes are taking their place.
 J. c. Burke, who has built many bungalows in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Douglas and who recently arrived in Kingman, has purchased a large lot in the Kingman Terrace Addition, at South Front and Eighth Streets and is building four bunga- lows.
 MT. Leonard looks for a growing demand for building lots, with pro bably a stiffening of prices, when the expected fall influx of people begins.
 Recent sales as reported by MT. Leonard follow:
 Lots 16 & IT, block 1, Richards Addition, to J. N. Brewer.
 Lots II & 12, block 8, Richards Ad- dition, to J. N. Brewer.
 Lot 13, block 8, Richards Addition, to L. W. Kelly.

 ON STORE BUILDING
IFrOm Friday's Daily MinerI


 Work on the Lovin and Withers' company's building will begin in the near future. Bids of contractors will be opened next Monday.
 The new building will be one of the handsomest store structures in north ern Arizona. It will be the best lighted store buildings in the state without doubt as the entire front and sides will be nearly all of glass, with pillars between the huge windows.
 The structure will be built of terra cotta blocks, 8x8x12 inches in dimen- sions a class of construction that is considered as near freproOf as is possible. It will cover an area front ing on Fourth street of 50 feet, 75 feet on Beale street and 160 feet deep. The front will be an imposing affair, with show windows of such size that a special window dresser and adver- Using man will be employed. Many additional departments will be added, among them dry goods and ladies and gents apparel.

NEVADA OATMAN WILL
 SOON START WORK
CFrOm oatman Section Daily Miner.)

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner)
 The Nevada Oatman company, financed by San Francisco capital, will soon start development work on it's property in the western section of the camp. Early in the summer the wagon road was completed and camp buildings erected.
 The property, formerly owned by O. c. Thornton and c. L. Dunbar, who still retain an active interest nj the company, is one of the most promising undeveloped properties in the Oatman district. On the Surprise Claim there is an immense dyke from 40 to 60 feet wide from which pannings of free gold are obtained across nearly the whole width. An ore shoot near the hanging wall of this dyke yields sur face assays as high as BPS per ton.
 At that point a shaft was started on the ore. This shaft will probably be continued to a depth of 300 feet at which point the extent of the ore will be determined by drifts and cross cuts.

zona Copperfields will be able to take advantage, this company will be as- sured of extremely low working costs, in addition to its natural topographi- cal advantage, which permits of the working of the deposit by steam shovel methods. In fact, Arizona Cop perfields will enter the productive stage with everything favoring it, which makes it a more attractive in vestment and speculation than any other porphyry property that has been presented to the public in years.
 It is not expected that Arizona Cop perfields will develop into phenome- nal producer overnight; but under sys- tematic development it should prove equal to many of the great pOrphyry copper producers.
 The final payment of the above mentioned S2O,OOO for the 13 claims was made yesterday. Deeds were de livered to President Ridgely and placed on record yesterday at noon.
 Mir. Ridgely will remain in Kingman for some time and will be joined here in a few days by the consulting engi- neer of the company, Charles s. Herzig. Together these gentlemen will decide on and put in force a compre- hensive plan for proving and develop ing the company's property, pushing the work very vigorously.

SOMETHING DOING AT . THE GOLDROAD MINE

There is something important doing with reference to the Goldroad mine. Not over three days ago gang of men was at work under the direction of Joe Oneto, dismantling some of the plant and tearing up track, when a telegram came and in the middle of the day and the midst of the work, all came to a halt. From that it seems that the company is not going to quit the district, or if it is there is something in the air to the effect that somebody else is to take it's place and make use of the plant.
 It is known for a fact that a prom inent local operator who has more than made good in this district, re- gently tried to negotiate a bond and lease on the mine. He is we'll ac- quainted with it and knows as do hun dreds of others that in the mine there is unstoped ore running into the thousands of tons. He knows further, as was recently stated by the Daily Miner, that in all it's history the Gold road never ran a crosscut as much as 200 feet, and that all told in the mine there is not that amount of crosscutting.
 He was refused the bond and lease and told that the least money the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining company would consider would be $200.O00 cash. Whether that is asked as an initial payment with more to follow, is not stated, but it is known at any rate that the company thinks a lot of the property, which has produced millions.
 The rumor now is that the company has accepted cash payment in the form of an option of S35, ,000 from par ties unknown, and the dismantling is to cease forthwith and the mill, plant, track and all equipment is to go with the property.

REPORT OF STRIKE IN
 OATMAN.BELLE DENIED
CFrOm oatman Section Daily Minsr.l

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 There was the usual excitement on the streets of Oatman Thursday, due to a report of a rich strike, in the Oatman-Belle. Everybody heard it, talked about it and expressed opinions pro and con, the same as in the case of various recent happenings of the sort.
 The Daily Miner correspondent and a couple of friends went out to the property, which is about mile beyond the Times, down the gulch to the northwest, and not finding Lester M. Dull, president of the company, there, were informed by employees that there was no truth in it, except that small stringer had been cut in the shaft at S5 feet. On the way back Mir. Dull was met and he made like statements and said he had been in town where all sorts of ill-founded reports were in circulation. He said it was all started by one man who came to town and was a little inclined to get en- thusiastic.

PARK PROPERTY IN
 UNION PASS SOLD
 ID SEATTLE CROWD
LFpm Saturday.. Daily MinsrI


 J. E. Park, owner of property ad- joining the old Expansion mine in the Union Pass section, was a Kingman visitor yesterday. He reports that he has been developing four claims and so well have they proven up that he has optioned them to Seattle, Wash ington, people for a considerable sum, having already received a payment.
 One of the claims has a vein 50 feet wide that gives milling values across a large part of the mass. There is another but smaller vein that gives assays up to $2OO per ton.
 The new company taking over the property is headed by c. L. Gleason, president of the American Savings Bank of Seattle. He is expected to arrive here within two weeks to look into conditions and arrange for the installation of machinery.
 Adjoining Park ground is the prop erty of O'Brien and Kobeck, known as the Last Day and Big Strike This is to have a plant of ma chinery within the next two weeks. About $50,0OO worth of ore is now blocked out in the two claims.

RIDENOUR EXPECTS
 BETTER TIMES SOON

"When they learn that you are from Oatman they begin asking questions about the camp, asking the same things that are asked here many times every day." said William RidenhOur yesterday after his return from an extended visit to the coast.
 "They want to know what you think about times livening up this fall and as a rule when they talk to you they are after information. It shows that there is a lot of interest in 0atman and it is my opinion that we are going Ito have better times"
 It is not MT. Ridenour's nature to be subjected to fits of enthusiasm and what he says about the camp and min ing conditions is with dehberation. His faith in the camp is based on the solid rock of its past record in his own favor, he being one of the stockhold- CTS of the United Eastern, president of the United Western, which is the principal field for his activities, and also a shareholder in the Arizona Stores company.
 He stated that there was nothing new to report in the Western and that so far as planned now there IS no change of program in sight from run ming the north and south drifts on the 5OO-foot level.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
 WILL MAP DISTRICT

L. F. Biggs of the United States Geological Survey arrived yesterday from Rochester, Nevada, for the pur- pose of doing the preliminary work for typographical and geological maps of the Oatman district.
 His part of the work consists of establishing the points of control, which means locating the four or five highest points, like the Boundary Cone and others, measuring the exact distance between them and getting the elevations. This labor, with the assistance of one man, will require about three weeks.
 After him and with his work as a basis the typographical work will be undertaken by other surveyors, and the geological map will have this as a basis also, taking the dip of the formations and other features into ac- count in working out the masses o5 information that it will compile and sketch into the form of a geological map.

AZTEC SHAFT OF TOM REED DROPS
 ONTO RICH ORE
IFpom Oatman Section Daily Minsr.I

From OatmAn Section Daily Mtner.l
 The Aztec shaft of the Tom Reed has struck rich ore. It was exposed in cutting a station at the 5OO-foot level and 20 tons of it are already on the dump, mostly hoisted since Tuesday. The ore averages, accord ing to trustworthy information, S32 a ton. The shaft is 600 feet south of the Big Jim endline and between that property and the Telluride. There have been various sensational rumors of much higher values, one being that the average value was S100 a ton.
 The find being in proven territory ordinarily it would cause no surprise, but the opposite effect seems to have arisen. It is the talk of the town, much as was the case of the Telluride a few weeks ago. Whether or not it is because it is the Tom Reed or not is study in psychology, but it is a fact that it is one that nobody doubts the genuineness of the strike.
 Since the find was made a crosscut has been started and the ore body has been opened up for ten feet. It is maintaining the same average value with no wall yet in sight. It is one of the most promising of recent finds in the Oatman district.

 The Gold aRnge is located in the vicinity of the Bluebird, and in the direction of the Ivanhoe and Times. Its values will be influenced greatly by the Ollie Oatman dyke, which tra- verses the country whereabouts.
