OATMAN AMALGAMATEO
 BOOSTED BY BIG EXPERT

F. A. Ritter, the noted geologist and engineer, formerly a member of the geological survey of France, has ex- amined the property of the Oatman Amalgamated gold mining company during the past week and is at pre- sent preparing his report. MT. Ritter expresses himself as we'll pleased with the prospect of the property and with in the next few days he will issue his report which is nearly complete.
 Machinery, including a 40 horse power hoist and 325 cubic foot com presor will be installed inside three weeks and as soon as this machinery has been put in position development work will start in earnest.
 A depth of 25 feet has been reached in the double compartment shaft and fine stringers of ore have been found. This is most gratifying to the man. agement as the capitalist who sub scribed to the pre-organization fund of more than $2O,Oo0 did not expect to find any valuable ore until the shaft had been sunk more than 400 feet.
 Present indication are that com mercial ore may be cut by the shaft at much lesser depth without doing any lateral work.
 At meeting of the directors in Oatman, Saturday, Feb. 19, the pur- chase of the Lotus claim was author ized, and that property has been ad- ded to the holdings of the Amalga- mated. The Lotus covers 1500 feet on the strike of the Gold Road vein and shows a very strong outcrop. Several tons of float from the vein can be picked up from the surface of this ground, which will assay more than thirty dollars ton. Altogether the outlook for the Oatman Amalgamated is such that the heavy stockholders of the company feel that they have a mine in the making-Oatman Miner.

Notable among visitors at the Can yon this last week were MT. and Mrs. Finley J. Shepard. MT. Shepard was formerly employed by the Santa Fe, and was married about two years ago to Miss Helen Gould. They are now taking trip to California, which is really honeymoon, since they were compelled to postpone their wedding trip. They are at present at the Ho- tel Huntington, Pasadena, and will spend some time on the coast before returning to New York.

T. P. Sylvan and Harry J. Brandt, prominent officers of the American Bell Telephone Co. were at Fl Tovar last week, These men are on their way to Los Angeles and San Franci- sco, and are getting line on the telephone situation with view to in stalling number of new trunk lines, thus facilitating ocean-to-ocean tele- phone conversation. They state that at the present time the lack of these long loops make it difficult to secure connections between the east and west, but are confident that it will be very short time until their system is perfected.

that shall mould the future. The bringing of child into the world is an act of grave responsibility; in it the parents, for good or evil, will imortalize themselves. What an in- fant is to be will depend upon its long line of ancestry-Emerson says: Every newborn child it at least a thousand years old' and man fami- liar with the laws of cumulative here dity declares that: "Nine-tenths of the education of every human being is received before the change we call birth" The mother to produce the manly man, must begin in the prena tai school by refusing to marry man who will SOW the seeds of disease in her darlings. In other words, no woman has right to marry anything less than a man, so that when their off-springs graduate from the school of prenatal life, it shall not come into the world handicapped by a heritage of disease or by vicious or criminal tendencies.
 Most assuredly the character of the generation will depend upon the char acters of those who take part in its production. If we are to bloom into beings of light and become fit to be as gods, we must build up a society that will insist upon children of light and those fit for god-like thoughts and deeds, as the mothers and fathers of posterity. Life is not matter of in dividual success, but of success or failure of the race. The individual has no right to seek his happiness in ways that thwart the right of society to perpetuate and improve himself. That is moral which insures better human stock and conversely it is i'm moral to beget degenerate off-springs and cause race-degeneracy. The ad- vancement of society must be securing better men and women; this can only be attained by producing better babies to grow into the better men and women, consequently, society has duty to perpetuate itself at its best, should pride and care for its most priceless legacy-BABIES-both be- fore and after birth, so that they may be strong bodied, and high-minded and develop into the best men and women.

eventually be found in important
quantities in the region having Gold

Senator Clark's men are sinking
the Rea main shaft, starting at a
depth of 200 feet, to which point
the shaft has lately been timbered
in a substantial manner. On the
200-foot level a cross-cut exposed a
body of copper ore over 20 feet
wide. of grade that can be treated
profitably and lying within a vein
of great magnitude.
Many claims have been located in
the surrounding district, chiefly by
Goldfield men and the location work
has revealed veins of good promise
at several points, while many speci-
mems of good ore have been obtain
ed at and near the surface. A shaft
south of the Rea property has ex-
posed exceptionally good copper
ore.

The enlarged flotatiOn plant Of
the Florence Goldfield company
will probably be in operation at
full capacity before the end IT
the present month and would have
been ready to start at consider
ably earlier time nut for delays in

having started at a depth of 100
feet, and at the present rate Of
sinking, the objective point, at a
depth of 1000 feet, will be attain
ed in the near future. Manager
Dyer states that the contractors

The Calys drill. which showed
some good ore in the cores that
were obtained at depth of about
1000 feet, is again in operation on
the 5O0-foot level, at a point about
$50 feet west of the main shaft,
and near the west or Phelan vein.
Some ore of good grade has been
exposed in this vein, while pros
pacting on upper levels. There is
a considerable quantity of excel
lent mill ore exposed in the main
workings of the property, accord
ing to the management, and with
the shaft completed to the 1000
foot level it is predicted that the
Silver Pick will assume a place
among the important producing
mines of the district.

having a gross value of $91 500 and
yielding net realization of $31, $50.
Shipments are now going to the
sampler at the rate of nearly $50
tons daily and it is reasonably GER
tain that the production will not
fall below this volume for some
time to come. The ore now being
shipped averages around $50 per
ton. Some low-grade ore from the
old Paloverde dumps is being mar
keted at profit and tests have
proved that the lOwgrade ore from
the deeper levels of the Velvet can
be treated to excellent advantage by
fotation. The Velvet shaft, at the
collar of which large ore-bins have
been erected. is now the principal
outlet for shipping ore and with two
shafts in operation, both with
equipment of large hoisting capacity,
the scope of development work will
be materially enlarged Work in

A flotation plant of substantial
capacity is to be erected in the
Ida district, southwest of Gold
field, and there are prospects that
a market will be afforded for the
large quantity of refractory ore
of good grade, exposed at many
points in that district. The decis-
ion to install flotation equipment
at the old camp has resulted from
the purchase by the Theo brothers
of Goldfield, who have been OPP
Grating at Hornsilver Cor some
time past, of the Florida group at
Ida. consisting of five claims and
fraction and said to contain
quantities of silver ore, suitable for
flotation.
The purchase of the Florida
group is said to involve the pay
ment of $4,000 as the purchase
price. In their operations at Horn
silver, the Theo brothers have ex-
posed a considerable quantity Of
pay ore, including some ore of
high shipping grade. 1t Is their
plan to treat the product of their

tion plant at Ida. where there is

The end of June will signaliZe
the opening of a new era of produc-
ton in Goldfield, made possible bv
the operation of two oil fiotation
plants with combined capacity of
about 400 tons daily. Equipment
for these big plants, installed by the
Goldfield Consolidated and Florence
companies, is now arriving and be-
ing installed. Exhaustive tests, con-
Quoted upon commercial scale,
have established beyond question
the success of the flOtation process
in it's application to the treatment of
refractory ores of the Goldeld dis
trict.
New developments in a number
of mines in the district are almost
equally important in their effect
upon future production. The work
of exploring the mines at depth has
been attended by heavy expense, and
the presence of copper and other
base elements in the deep-level ores
obstacle to the marketing of any
but the richest ore of this character.
FlotatiOn comes as a solution of
this problem, affOrding-a a market for
vast quantities of ore of medium and
low grade and containing copper,
from which there has heretofore
been no means of deriving profit
An encouraging sign of the times,
emphasizing the confidence repOsed
in the district by men of means, is
to be seen in the resumption of de-
velopment work at depth on several
properties that have been inactive
for some time past, and in the in
auguration of new work, in virgin
territory The success obtained in
prospecting at depth by means of
a core drill on the Silver Pick has
stimulated interest in this method of
prospecting and other companies are
likely to adopt this system. Outly-
ing territory is being carefully pros
pected and discoveries have been
made at the surface that are likely
to lead to development at depth.
