TOM REED AND
 BIG JIM IN RICH ORE
(Frem Thursdays Daily.) Clos Angeles Mining Bureau)

The most important developments Q of the week in the Oatman district are relative to Big Jim and Tom Reed
 Word comes that the Tom Reed
 Company has developed pay ore in its Pasadena claim little over one mile 10 the northwest of its main workings; that ore has been encoun- tered at 400 feet depth in its Bald Eagle claim, and that this latter strike extends the known length of the Aztec-Black Eagle vein more than 2,000 feet. It is estimated by Oatman mining men that the Aztec-Black Eagle vein promises to develop into a greater mine than the original work ings of the Tom Reed in its Ben liar rison claim.
 It is semi-officially announced by the Big Jim Company that the upraise from the extreme end of the cast drift on the 400-foot level has resulted in highly important developments. The upraise was carried to a point l6O feet above the 40O-foot level, and at this point broke into extensive lateral work done on the vein by the Tom Reed Company which had been doing exploratory work with refer ence to its Grey Eagle claim adjoin- ing the Big Jim on the south.
 On this level, which corresponds to the 240-foot point in the Big Jim shaft a drift had been run in the vein for distance of 240 feet, and an upraise sent in the vein for a distance of 70 feet. This work was done recently by the Tom Reed Company which. some time ago, did extensive research work in and adjacent to its Grey Eagle claim, adjoining the Big Jim on the south. The Grey Eagle shaft was put down about 300 feet vertical ly. At about 200 feet a crosscut was driven to the north, not only to the Grey Eagle-Big Jim sidelines, but in- to Big Jim ground some 40 to SO feet, and into the Big Jim vein. At this point the upward extension of the Big Jim vein was inclining somewhat sharply to the south, or towards the Tom Reed ground It certainly look ed as though the Big Jim vein passed through the sideline and apexed on Tom Reed ground. Along the line between the two properties is a very strong intrusive dyke which at places outcrops boldly at surface. The raise sent up by the Tom Reed operators showed that when the Big Jim vein reached the vicinity of this strong dyke. it folded and bent back towards the north, and at the point where the vein came closest to the Tom Reed ground, it is some 30 to 50 feet with in the Big Jim sidelines. From this point, going towards the surface, the angle of the vein is toward the north, thus indicating that its apex is some considerable distance within Big Jim ground.

MOTHER SUES SON
 FOR SUM OF sI,750 (From Wednesdays Daiiy.)

The date for the hearing of the suit against Sydney Roberts, who is being sued by his mother for $l,750 alleged due her from the sale of cattle. was set for October ? by Judge Smith in the Superior court yesterday.
 Mrs. Roberts alleged in a complaint filed in the Superior court several months ago that she entered into a partnership with her son in a cattle ranch at Wickeuburg. They were to divide the profits evenly, but Mrs. Roberts alleges that her son sold the cattle for $500 and has not handed over any of the proceeds of .he sale.

ARIZONA BEGINS TREATING ITS
 PRODUCT
(From Fridays Daily)

The 50-ton mill on the Arizona mines, near Humboldt, is in action, and according to arrivals from the camp yesterday, the process of reduc- tion is proving successful, a high con- centrate recovery being the product
 This property is among the new ones for that field, and is owned by F. M. Anderson and Sidney Birch. During the development stage the shipment of raw ore to Fl Paso reach cd total of 2l cars, and from the re- turns, the reduction movement now installed has resulted. The mill out put only will be shipped to that mar ket hereafter, and all grades of ore will be treated on the ground. The values are silver and gold, and accord ing to reports an unusually high grade prevails in certain zones underground, with an average value that is far above that usually carried in ores of this mineral combination.
 The entry of the Arizona into rat ing which insures future success, again reflects practical management in thorough exploration, and with an ore content as assured to keep the plant in action for months to come, without further development being re- quired. It is also stated the deeper the workings in the Arizona the bet ter are conditions. This mine until revived short time ago by the above operators, had limited development given, and had laid idle for over third of century.

MINE FINANCED WITHOUT SALE
 OF STOCK
(From Wednesdays Daily)


 At the time the Verde Apex Copper Company was re-organized few weeks ago, the intent was to offer for public subscription 100000 treasury shares at 50 cents per share.
 While the matter was pending however, a group of Arizona mining and business men submitted propo- sition to underwrite 300000 shares. This proposition was accepted at a meeting of the directorate of the Yer de Apex Company held in Prescott on October l4th. It represents the unanimous sentiment of the board and insures the funds necessary for carrying on development work with out recourse to public subscription. The money was rendered following an inspection Of the company's property by representatives of the interested parties, and amply provides not alone for the carrying out of the joint de- velopment plans with the Venture Hill Company, but likewise the ex- pense entailed in purchasing and in stalling the two-company plant of machinery and necessary camp build ings. The public is therefore to be barred from participation in one of the most promising mining proposi- tions in the Jerome field, save for trading in the limited number of the company's shares already outstand- ing.
 For the present there will be no change in the personnel of the di- rcctorate of the Verde Apex Com pany by reason of the additional f. nancial strength acquired. At later date however, it is understood that the names of prominent Bisbee and Douglas mining men will appear on the roster of the company's officers and directors. Neither will there be any change at this time in the joint financial management of the Verde Apex and Venture Hill companies, nor in the two-company mine man. agement. The development plans be- ing carried out under the supervision of John s. Reilly are not to be alter ed. They will, however, be speeded up considerably under the impetus of increased financial support Addi- tional and larger shifts of miners will be employed and the erection of ade- quate camp buildings will be hastened. A road is to be graded at once to the site of the two-company shaft on the Black Horse claim of the Verde Apex Company, from the road over Ven ture Hill ground that gives access to the Pittsburg-Jerome property. The contracts for the machinery 10 jointly operate the two properties were lei yesterday and it will be on the ground within 30 days. There will be no de- lay in getting operations under way for the development of these promis- ing mining estates.

STODDARD WORKS ID TREAT 300
 TONS DAILY
PLANT TO DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY; BIG SUCCESS MADE IN MILLING AND MINING.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Arrivals during the week from Mayer reported success of the reduc- ton works of the Stoddard Milling Company and that development on the Binghamton mines of the Stod- dard Mines Company has established one of the big coppers of that field.
 Current reports are that the reduc- ton works are to be increased to double the present capacity, or 300 tons per day. The success of reduc- ton is due to Notation, and recovery ranging from S5 to as high as 96 per cent of all values carried is admitted by those in charge. The move to in- crease the plant follows from the Binghamton showing, the unlimited tonnage in the mine, the success of the new process of treatment, and the Copper Queen preparing to add to the already large output. An in teresting feature of this milling and mining movement for the Binghamton is that the property dates back orig inally as active over third of cen tury ago, when its so-called possibili- ties as a copper attracted but little attention. At intervals since the early day it has been operated, and now with the advancement made in metal lurgy its success is pronounced. Like wise does its companion in that belt, the Copper Queen assume an excel lent rating, which is reflected in the two mines combining to treat their products on high basis of tonnage.

MINING COMPANY
 REOPENS OLD ROAD

The Lucky Five Mining Company, of Copper Basin, which recently re- sumed, is to have an outlet to Kirk land valley, for freighting in and out material and supplies. Without an, financial assistance whatever, the company has reopened the old wagon road from its camp, by making repair, which will permit of auto traffic to the railroad as we'll will the old road to Walnut Grove be opened. The old road is the most direct to Kirkland, and leaves the main road in Copper Basin a short distance west of the Loma Pricta camp.
