COLD ROAD MINE TO
 BE REOPENED SOON

OATMAN, Oct 2-The Gold Road mine, which is oldest producing prop erty in this district is to be reopened and operated on a larger scale than ever by the United States Smelling and Refining company, its owner after shut-dow of about six weeks. In the sixteen years that the company has operated the mine, extracting many millions of dollars in gold, it never drove crosscuts more than 200 feet all told. It worked exclusively on one main vein and any cross Assures, seams or small veins coming in were passed up without prospecting. In tract of 233 acres, much of it extending longitudinally on the croppings which sample well. mining men will appre- ciate the present plan for more exten- | sive and thorough work. Moreover, many thousands of tons of unstoped ore stand opened by drifts in various parts of the mine With a fully ! equipped mine and mill the prospect of a revival and increase of the former output is patent.
 | The drift from the Aztec shaft of the Tom Reed toward the Black Eagle ore shoot continues to show high milling values averaging from $15 to $50 ton.
