From Thar.day,. Daily MlasrI

Mining activity has spread into the
country surrounding Signal, in the
south end of the county, and almost
each day is marked by visits of pros
pectors from distant states and other
counties of Arizona. The country be-
ing easy of access, most of the new
comers arrive in autos, although the
faithful burro is still called upon by
the old timer to carry the pack.
A number of sales have been made
recently, and this has caused many of
the local people, who have not here
tOfOre followed the game, to dispose
of other interests and devote their
time exclusively to prospecting.
Among these are the Boner brothers,
who have sold their ranch and are
giving their attention to a property
that promises a big future in mOlybde-
mum.

BUYS CONTROL OF
GEORGE WASHINGTON
IFrom Friday., paiIy Minerl

A deed filed yesterday in the office
of the county recorder conveys to E.
J. Hoover a five-eighths interest in the
George Washington group of six
claims at Mineral Park, just east Of
the Keystone mine, operated by the
Holmes interests.
Mr.. Hoover, who returned from his
Long Beach, Cal, home Thursday
morning, expects to continue the plan
of development on the George Wash
ington which he has been following
under a lease and bond for the past ten
months, and will, in addition, let
contract for 20O-foot shaft with the
view to prosecuting to catch all four
veins embraced that run through the
property northwest and southeast.
In the chloriding days, the George
Washington produced large tonnage,
of high grade silver-lead ores, and
more recently shipments of copper ore
from the "black vein," running over
500 per ton, have been made.

OATMAN-UNITED HAS
NEW PLANT At WORK


The Oatman United has received
and installed its new machinery and is
working with greater dash than it did
before at any stage of its career. It
is the general opinion of some of the
best engineers in the camp that there
is no mine nor prospect in Oatman
that has better chance of making
a real big mine than the Oatn1an
United.
It was working before the arrival of
its machinery at a great disadvantage,
using singlejacks and an lmprovised
outfit for hosting. After it shut down
Saturday night, not intending to do
any sinking until machinery could be
utilized, an attachment was placed on
the property by the Higman Lumber
company, through a misunderstanding,
but as soon as a wire could be gotten
out to San Francisco and a reply
could be received the matter was ad-
justed and the attachment released.

STARTLING EVIDENCE
IN VAGRANCY CASE
IFrom Oatman Section Daily Ainer.I
r n Mcfarland was acquitted We

B. H. Mcfarland was acquitted yes
terday afternoon by a jury in the jus
tice court of the charge of vagrancy.
1t was a case of unusual interest and
Justice Francis called court in the
Tom Reed hall, where there was room
for everybody to see and hear. But
outside Of the testimony of Sheriff ].
C. Lane there was nothing of the sen
sational order and the case was void
and colOrless.
Mr.. Lane, however, gave some start
ling testimony. It was hardly ger
name to the charge placed against Nc
FarIand, but had it been backed up by
other developments it would have
amounted to a great deal. He swore
that he had received an anonymous
letter July 10, telling of gambling in
Oatman and he named Mcfarland as
one of the parties reputed to be run
ming a poker game. He instructed his
deputies here to close up the games
and came over himself July IL He
met Mcfarland at the "49" camp. He
says Mcfarland asked why he could
not run a game when others were do
ing so. Lane told him no others would
be allowed to do so. Mcfarland re-
piled that unless he could run a game
he would see that the whole "49"
camp was closed. He said further, ac-
cording to Mr.. Lane, that he knew
that others were putting up $50 a
month a piece for the sheriff's office
and ne was willing to put up his
share. Mr.. Lane told him that it was
lie, that nobody was putting up for
the sheriff's office and that McFar-
land would have to cut out the poker
game. Mcfarland replied that he
would run game as long as anybody
else in MOhave county did the same.
Lane says he gave orders to run Nc
Farland out of town and to arrest him,
if necessary, which was done
Several witnesses testified, but none
swore of ever having seen a poker
game being run by Mcfarland. None
knew for sure that he lived at the
"49" camp, but, like the sheriff, sew
eral testified that he had a tent there
or close by. The defense brought in
witnesses to show thaht he had work

STORY OF LENS AND
HOWIT PROVED USEFUL
IFron Oatman Section DAILY SlinsT.l

From Oatman Section Daily Miner.l
Every two-buckle mining expert is
supposed to carry a pocket lense in his
clothes, but it seems that there are
some at the head of the profession
who have their little lapses of care
lessness in such details. At least it
was so with Henry Johnson, engineer
IN charge of the Oatman- Revenue

take a glass with him when he was
sampling the property, but when last

OF have the lense forcibly taken from
him. But Mr.. johnson made good.
As soon as he ogt out to Union
Pass he tried out the lense and sure
enough there were the colors as plain
as the nose on your face. There were
plenty of them and he wrote a letter
in about it, which arrived yesterday,
and apologized for not seeing them
before. From this and other facts,
the latter being in the form OF recent
assays, it seems that the Revenue
company has dropped onto something
worth while at Union Pass.

CAN" ATTACHED TO
WHOLE TRAIN CREW
IFrom Thur.asy.. Dai,r slinsrl

Because of the desire of Santa Fe
freight locomotive engineer to become,
at least, a temporary citizen of King
man night before last, the entire
crew was yesterday discharged, ac-
cording to Needles advices.
It appears that when Frank Quinn,
the "eagle-eye" of the particular crew,
had partaken of very agreeable
lunch at the Harvey house, he became
imbued with the view that Kingman
would make a pleasant place in which
to sojourn. With this thought upper
most, he arranged with his fireman to
"take her into Hack (among the in
itiated, Hack" is short for Hackber-
ry) and then proceeded to follow his
bent, after waving a farewell to his
co-workers and expressing wishes that
they might have nice journey.
The socially inclined railroader then
proceeded to make himself agreeable
to the local talent, and all went well,
until the return trip Of his compan-
ions, when, having satisfied his desires
for city life, he rejoined and accom-
panied them to Needles. The next
morning, however, the super" invit-
ed the party to call at his place of
business, and then and there proceeded
to discourage further visiting while on
duty, by tieing a large can to the

TWO RICH SHOOTS
IN PIONEER MINE
LFrom Oatman Section Daily Minsr.l

Lkrom Oatman Section Daily Mtner-l
Two ore occurrences of exceptional
Importance are being developed as
rapidly as possible in the Pioneer
mine. One is the big ore shoot in
the south drift on the 4OO-foot level,
where the present body of high grade
milling rock measure 16 feet wide and
its full dimensions as yet are under
mined. The other is a high grade
streak in the north drift, which from
its present situation is proven to be
the SNOWFALL vein which extends
through the Arizona-Tom Reed.
The former was discovered about
a month ago and has constantly in
creased in volume since that time. The
latter appeared a few days later and
high grade paintings and picture rock
are understood to have been found
with regularity. Both are on the foot
wall side and the latter is opened to
within a few feet of the north line.
Manager Eugene H. Dawson is un-
derstood to be financially interested
in the property together with his Bos-
ton principals. He is an unusually
able engineer and has had a great deal
of experience in Colorado and Central
and South America.

FOUR ARRESTED ON
CHARGE OF BREAKING
EIGHT-HOUR Law
IFron oatnan seetion Danr sIinsr.I

From Oatman Section Daily 1liner.I
Violation of the eight-hour law is
the serious charge that has been
placed against the names of two Of
the prominent mine operators Of the
district and TWO contractors. Eugene
H. Dawson, manager Of the Pioneer
mine; George Roper, superintendent;
George Miller and George Hohlz, con
tractors, are the men placed under
arrest. A fifth defendant is the Pio-
neer Consolidated Mining company.
Their trial viii occur this afternoon in
the court of Justice of the Peace J. NJ.
Francis. The complaining witness is
B. o. Lechens, acting secretary and
business agent of the SNOWFALL
Miners union.
It is claimed that several miners
have either been required to work
overtime, or at least have been per-
mitted to do so. The complainant
takes the former position and tce de-
tense the latter.
There are said to be four miners
who have worked anywhere from a
few minutes to half a shift overtime.
One is Frank Snyder, who is said to
have worked a consecutive shift and
half, but others claim that he did 50
voluntarily.
Dawson and Roper claim to have
known nothing about it. After being
served with the warrants of arrest
Dawson made inquiry to ascertain if
such were required or permitted BY
the contractors, but he is understood
to make the claim that it was all news
to him, for he was not working the
men and paid no attention to what
hours they worked
It is stated by union men that such
has been practiced continuously at the
Pioneer mine, and their contention is
that it is immaterial whether or not
Dawson and Roper knew of it, for
they are criminally liable anyway
The statute in this state makes
clear distinction between requiring
men to work overtime and permitting
them to do 50, and it is anticipated
that along these lines the matter viii
be fought out this afternoon

POWER
OFFERED BY
NEW COMPANY

Cheaper power for the oatman dis
trict is promised through the recent
activities of the Burro Creek Hydro
Electric Power company, which is un-
derstOod to have secured full authOri-
zation from the Arizona corporation
commission to proceed with its enter
prise.
It's representatives are now con-
tracing or soliciting contracts with
several of the leading mining COM
panies, among those known to have
been solicited being the Tom Reed
Goldroad, United Eastern, Big Jim,
Arizona-Tom Reed and Pioneer.
The present charge of the Desert
Power and Light company IS from 81
to SIS a month per horsepower. The
hydro-electric is offering a rate of $5
for the larger contracts and So for the
smaller ones.
In this district and for several miles
beyond the boundaries of the district
proper there are known to be millions
of tons of ore that will average from
81 to SIS a ton. 1t is believed by nu-
merous experts who have gone into
the question that such ores, with
power at proposed new rates, can be
treated for $3.50 a ton, or possibly
mined and milled for that figure. As
suming that estimate to be correct, 1t
is reasoned that this viii be the larg-
est in tonnage and miles of extent Of
any mining district on earth It's po-
tentialities are so startling that it in
cludes all the country from beyond
Union Pass to the low hills down
along the Colorado river, opposite
Needles. Many of the mining prop
critics now merely prospecting for ore
would Immediately be classed as mines
with great tonnages of 81 and S5 ore
ready for immediate stoping.
With a depth of 1400 feet in the
Tom Reed and 1900 in the Goldroad,
It has long since been proven that
there are no base values in Oatman
ores. By mere fine crushing and cya-
hiding they are treated with no con-
eentration nor amalgamation. This
figures extensively in the matter of
reducing the cost, once the price of
power is lowered.
