TRADING MARKET Is
 BIG HELP ID MINING
lFr0m oatman seetion DaIIy Minsr.l

AAAo O1LAllhn oelLAOn DAlly AlneE.l
 Frank G. Jewett, broker, has re- turned from San Francisco and reports keen interest there in 0atman. His time was taken up by private busi- ness affecting mining properties here and elsewhere, but in the course of his visit he met many brokers and others interested in mines. Said he:
 Many brokers expressed interest in oatman and spoke quite favorably. They think that by fall we shall see much better things for Oatman. left there before news of the Telluride strike but all such as that helps. I also met some bears and I told them about the local conditions. Some mines have closed that ought to have closed before, but they will resume and it will all come out for the better when their affairs are shaped.
 q explained to them that when there was anything in the nature of slump or a strike and rise in stocks either created a trading market and that is not a bad feature, for it denotes ac- tivity. It shows that people are in terested and if they are willing to buy there must be something to it. That seemed quote acceptable and appeared to have a good effect, for as all of us in a mining camp know there is nothing like a trading market to give both stock buyers and brokers a chance to make money"
 Mir. Jewett sprained the cords of his foot before starting and his constant on cement pavements caused it to get no better, which is responsi- Dle for so many persons asking if he gOut on his trip.

M'EVOY ARRESTED FOR
 THREATENING WOMAN
(From oalman seetIon DaiIy Niner.l

NFrom Oatman Section Daily hiner.l
 William McEvoy was taken yester- day by Deputy Sheriff Tom Hunter to Kingman where a warrant was to be issued charging him with a crime of a serious nature. The exact charge could not be learned, Justice of the Peace J. NJ. Francis being away.
 The complaint was made by Mrs. R. Mccormack. She states that Me EvOy has been annoying her for the past ten months with his attentions and that on Saturday at the Oatman hotel he threatened her life. Conse- quently she reported the matter to De- putty Sheriff w. M Mackie, in the absence of the justice, and on Sunday Mackie called at the Arizona hall roOming house, of which McEvoy is the owner. Mackie was on his way to answer a call beyond Mazona and, coming back, he called again to find McEvoy away. They met on the street and Mackie asked McEvOy where he had been, the reply being that he went up town after tobacco. It proved that he had made another call upon Mrs. Mccormack and at tempted further advances.
 McEvoy has been in considerable. trouble at intervals covering several weeks. He had a couple of street fights over Mrs. Mccormack about July 1, a man named Davis attack ing him for talking disparagingly about her. Prior to that he was said to have made a gun play on another party and is known to have commit ted similar offense in the case of still another party only two days after the fight. It was he who caused the arrest of the officials and contractors of the Pioneer mine for violation of the eight-hour law because he failed to make wages on a contract and said he understood the law to be that he should have wages anyway. Sheriff Lane has had him under surveillance for several months, he being almost constantly under the influence of boot leg whiskey.

GOOD ORE STRUCK ON
 BRAWN-OTIS CLAIMS
From Oatman Section Daily Miner.I

Bert Otis was in town yesterday from the Brawn-Otis claims, four miles south of Topock. He reports that a tunnel has been driven in on the vein a distance 60 feet and that splendid ore has been opened up. The pay part of the vein is 24 inches in width, running from $50 to 65 gold to the ton, together with copper con tent of seven per cent. The claims were located some time ago and have ben prospected to some extent, al- though the greater part of the work has been done on the most promising vein of the group.
 The camp is one mile from the Colorado river, and while a spring furnishes water the greater part of the year, water for camp uses now has to be packed some distance. The camp is easily accessible and the own CTS feel that they have found some thing worth while.

MURDOCH HITS WATER
 AND ORDERS PUMP
[Frsn oataan seetion paiIz llinsr.I

The Murdock shaft has struck a heavy flow of water and operations have been suspended until pumping equipment can be secured and placed in commission. It is BIO feet deep and seemed to be running into a ledge. With the supposed ledge came the flow. It is flowing 15O buckets of 70 gallons each in "A hours. While Man ager s. R. Porter says it could be baled in the 24 hours nothing else could be done during that time. The only rescourse was to order a pump, which has been done.
 A station was cut at the 300 and the rock looks very promising. accord ing to Mir. Porter.

being made. On them a saving or
 about 90 per cent has been made, ac-
 cording to the inventor.
 NIT. Bettis has had many assays of
 the Tom Reed tailings and finds them
 to average S4.55 a ton. He got one
 assay of over S8 from them. He
 claims the new system will not only
 cut this down to a negligible loss,
 but will reduce the Tom Reed milling cost from S9 to less than S1. The
 tailings, of which there are many
 thousands of tons lying in the gulch
 between the Tom Reed mill and be-
 yond Mazona, he says would have to
 be precipitated on zinc shavings to
 get the gold, this on account of the
 rock having been cyanided and the
 gold being in solution.
 One of the separators is being de- monstrated at Los Angeles and the Tom Reed officials from Pasadena have had men there to watch its operations almost constantly. It is said the company contemplates the use of three or four of the separators. United Eastern and Big Jim people also have made inspections of it and are said to be evincing an interest in it. The Gold Dust company will have one of the separators in it's mill pro- bably by October.
 It is planned to have. one of the full plants in operation here a little later and to use it to demonstrate to owners of property it's feasibility. To do this they will be permitted to ship in ore for treatment at any time up to 50 tons or more. Since its success will mean that any mine with ore of $2.50 to $5 a ton can be made into a bonanza it is predicted that there may be scores of them in Mohave county, especially in 0atman, Secret Pass and Union Pass.
 One of the plants in Oatman will cost about S3OO0, with 50-ton daily It can be run, according to with less than 16-horse- power. Having electricity in this camp the cost of engines will be re- moved. The pulverizer costs $1625, two separators $500 each and S400 for the crusher. Motor, freight and in with all extras, are esti- mated at S3O0O. The separator it. self weighs only 200 pounds and can be packed on mule-back anywhere. ! For more remote places with higher freight and an additional cost for gasoline engines an outside estimate ]. of S50O0 for a 50-ton plant is made 1
 The particular interest in the in vention here is the possibility of treat ing low grade ores. It would mean that most of the so-called prospects of this camp would at once take the position of mines. Such showings as the Carter, Boundary Cone, Black . Range, Arizona-Tom Reed, Gold Road Bonanza and scores of others with ore ranging around s4 or $5 a ton, would | take front rank as paying mines at | once.
 The inventor was the first paten- tee of the moving picture machine, | from which he failed to profit. He worked for three years in the labora- tory of Thomas A. Edison at Orange, New Jersey, and is no amateur. He has wealth in the form of big cattle | ranch in Texas, but it is said it cii | not come from his moving picture invention.

 Prosecuting on the 350-fOOt level of the Goldroad-Bonanza began yester- day. It is thought the ledge will be cut at 40 to 60 feet south of the shaft. It was cut by the shaft and showed excellent values.
 The management believes the ledge straightens up or turns over to cor responding dip to the GOldroad which ie eighty feet away and parallel.
