MINES DIRECTOR OF SAN DIEGO EXPO.
 VISITS CHLORIDE

James E. Babcock. mining man and oil operator who has charge of the Palace of Mines exhibit at the San Diego fair, spent several days in Chloride recently as the guest of Mir. and Mrs. W. H. Beeler. MT. Babcock came to Chloride to satisfy himself that the camps present boom has some justification in fact, and before leaving he is understood to have told Mir. Beeler that the conclusion of his duties at the San Diego fair will see him taking an active interest in ChlOr- idle affairs.
 Mir .Babcock is well known among the mining men of the West, and re- gently made a fortune in oil opera tions. He was in charge of the mining exhibit at the San Francisco exposi- tion and when that closed he was re- tained to take charge of the mineral department of the San Diego show. Chloride Herald.

TEN BILLION TONS OF COAL

The Nenana coal field, Alaska, will be tributary to the Government rail road now under construction from Se- ward to Fairbanks. Though the coal of this field is Ignite and hence of low grade, yet it has great value as a source of fuel and power for Fair banks and other Yukon placer camps. The field is about 60 miles south of Fairbanks. It is estimated by the
 United States Geological Survey, De partment of the Interior, that the Nenana field contains some ten billion tons of Ignite. The Nenana coal field lies in what is known as the Bonnifeld region, which also contains gold placers that have been mined in a small way for the last 10 years. This district is described in a report en- titled "The Bonnifeld Region, Alaska Bulletin 5O1), which can be obtained on application to the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

NEW MILL READY
 FOR ITS TEST RUN
IFrOm Friday's Daily MInsrI

G. B. Lindsley and J. H. Smith of the Daily Miner were motor visitors to the camp of Oatman yesterday. They were informed that the United East ern mill is ready for the initial test of it's machinery and that it will be made on New Years Day.
 The mill is one of the latest and most improved plants installed in the state and all familiar with it predict that it will open a new era of pro duction for the Oatman district. The officers of the company are among the most competent mining men of the state and will without a question make the plant financial success.

ARIZONA WILD HORSE TRIAL
 IS AMUSING

OMAHA, Neb. Dec. q. - Navajo and Moh Indians, under their tribal chiefs, horse wranglers, cowboys, ranchers and plainsmen in force 200 strong, campaigned for 10 days in Co., conino county, Arizona, on the trail of wild horses which the government, in a suit for use of the mails to de- fraud, alleges were sold to the United States Livestock company and the Omaha Land & Investment company, to number of persons, but which, in reality, did not exist.
 Clyde A. Smith, brother of Sidney Smith, indicted head of the former company, told of what he called the "great roundup" It was first neces- sary to feed the Indians and give them tobacco before they would consent to work, he said. A herd of 1900 to 2000 horses was corraled and another large herd would have been captured but one of the commanders of the left wing of the army got lost, climbed to the top of a hill and yelled for help. His yells frightened a large herd, grazing nearby, and they ran away" "
 When the big herd had been gather ed in, Smith continued, terrific storm came up, such a storm as he had never seen, and swept the horses away across the plains and they were lost. Only 23 mustangs were secured, at a cost of $32 head.
 Owing to the laughter in the court room during Smiths recital, Judge Woodrough ordered a recess until to- morrow morning.

BULLION HILL MINE
 ERECTS GALLONS AND
 AWAITS MACHINERY

Another property was this week added to the active list when miners were put to work on the Bullion Hill group by the Salt Lake capitalists who purchased the property only a few days ago.
 The Bullion Hill group was formerly the property of MT. W. A. Wright, who just sold the EIkhart to San Francisco capitalists. It lies just east of the Tennessee and is regarded as choice inside ground. A vein of lib- eral dimensions traverses the estate, and on this a shaft was sunk many years ago. Men are now engaged in retimbering this old shaft and in erecting a gallows frame. A hoist will be installed in short time. The owners are financially able to carry on abundant work and there is no doubt about the property's future develop Herald.

BUT FEW CLAIMS
 WILL BE LET GO
CFrOm Fridays Daily Miner.)

More closely than any other year in the history of the county will as- sessment work be done on the claims of the various districts this year. It is understood that should failure oc- cur in the performance of such work every lapsed claim will be located. People are looking for mines and es- pecially those having a history be- hind them.
 It is remarkable how the newcomer makes history for the old timer and the old mine. Mines that were not heard of as producers in the years gone by are now reported by the boomer as having had a wonderful production, while some of the big pro- ducers of the county have dwindled into insignifcance. Nevertheless, work must be done to keep title intact, for the man with mining desire is looking to see that a full assessment work is done on every property.

OF ORE IS DISCLOSED
 BY ACCIDENT
CFpOm Fridays Daily Miner.)


 A cave on the west 5O0-foot level of the Gold Ore mine at Goldroad has disclosed a 14-foot vein of ore that has values equally as high as the main vein of the property. Slopes had been opened to extract the ore in the main vein and the work had been carried west 25O feet, when it encountered what appeared to be a break in the vein, and the opening of the stopes was discontinued.
 A few days ago the drift was en- tered to make an examination and when the end of the stope was reached it was found that a big cave had oc- cured, revealing another vein running almost at right angles with the main ore body. Samples taken from the vein, which was found to be IA feet wide, gave results of about s15 gold to the ton.
 A. c. Werden, who has had charge of the property from the first, is highly elated over the discovery and has gone east to make arrangements for it's further financing to meet the new conditions. With the opening of the bigger ore body it will be neces- sary to build large milling plant to take care of the production. The big vein goes to the surface and there is now available 500 feet in depth of virgin ground. Should it carry the same values to the surface the mine will be one of the biggest propositions in the district.

Kingman Ball
 Stars Victorious
rFrpm Tuesdsz.s Daily Mlner.l ]

lfrOm tuesday Daily Miner.l
 The baseball game between the Kingmanites and Needles Sunday at Needles resulted in a victory for the Arizonans. They humbled the Califor- mia boys at every turn in the road, the final score being 16 to 8. The King man boys played sterling game, one of the features being a double play.
 George Grantham, the visitors shortstop, opened up the game with a three-base hit far over the center fielder's head and were it not for his slowness of foot he would have had a home run. Bryan Hilty, as pitcher, was another of the stars, putting them all down by the strike-out route, even sending two pinch hitters in the ninth back to the bench without seeing the ball.
 The Kingman boys have one of the fastest teams ever put together and in their many years of playing have lost a very small number of their games. The majority of the contest ing teams have been composed of men for the simple reason that the boys around the country were not fast enough to play in the Kingman class.

Bonanza
 Strike Improving
CFrom Fridays Daily Miner.)


 Manager B. M. Rogers of the Gold road Bonanza reported yesterday to a member of the Miner force that the latest assay from the strike in the bottom of the shaft of that property gave a return of $22 across four and one-half feet of the vein. It is one of the most important strikes made in the district for several months and the management, as well as the stock holders are jubliant. The strike was made at depth of 500 feet instead of 600, as reported in yesterdays Miner. The vein crossed the shaft on an an gle, coming in with a width of two feet. After a couple of rounds had been fired the width increased to four and one-half feet. It is expected that it will still further increase, which belief is warranted by conditions pre- vailing. The company will thoroughly explore the vein and it is probable that the next few days will bring forth many developments. The stock of the company experienced a rapid show of strength on the markets as soon as the news become known and it is expected that it will go much higher in price.

 NEXT SHERIFF OF COUNTY

about 40 ballots were laid aside for rulings by the court, which were about equally divided between the two can didates. Prior to the rulings of the court the number of votes boiled by the two candidates, as shown by the ballots over which no disputes arose, stood the same as afterward, the de- cisions by Judge Ellis having really no effect upon the result. It is learned upon good authority that Prisk will accept as final the result disclosed by the inspection and will not take an appeal.

W. W. Clack and A. W. Love started the annual assessment work on the Goldroad Red Top group of claims yesterday. A Miner representative called at the workings and found that they are driving a tunnel on the east end of the Red Top claim. It is thought that an opening on that end of the claim will show up good ore as some very fine indioa ions have been found there.

OATMAN NEWSIES
 WILL HAVE FEAST

The Mohave Daily Miner, in ap- preciation of the efforts of the many little newsboys of Oatman, recently instructed it's representa- tive there, Louie Polin, to prepare a feast for them on Christmas day. Louie has made arrange ments with J. P. Boyd of the Del monico cafe in the Oatman Bank building for the best spread that the latter can prepare.
 To say that the little fellows will take the wrinkles out would be putting it mildly, as when Louie makes a move he never does it by halves, as was evil denced by his recent removal to new quarters in the Oatman Bank building, where the Daily Miner is to be had at all times, night or day.

OPENING UP FINE BODY
 OF ORE AT JAYNE SPRINGS

Peter Caffery is opening up a fine body of ore in his Layne Springs property, there being an IS inch ore streak in the winze he is sinking that has values up to 10 percent copper, 20 ounces silver and about S2.40 in gold. The ledge is continuation of the old Alpha property vein. While the vein is quite large the ore body so far opened is not big, but as depth is gained the ore shows an inclination to widen.

NEW FERRY CROSSING
 RIVER NEAR CANYON
 NOW IN OPERATION
cFrom chIorIde seetlon DaIIy MInerl


 It may be of interest to prOspectOrs, sightseers and others to know that the Pierce ferry across the Colorado river at the mouth of the Grand Canyon is now in operation. It makes the third ferry across the river within a dis tance of a few miles. There is the Gregg ferry at the foot of the wash running through Lost Basin, and the ferry at opposite the mouth of FL dorado canyon on the Nevada side.
 To reach the Pierce ferry, follow the Blackberry road into Gold Basin, and at the old O. K. mill-also known as the Burnt Mill-turn to the right and follow the welLdefned road to- wards the Duncan home ranch for about 35 miles. This road leads not only to the new ferry but to one of the most advantageous points from which the lower end of the Grand Canyon may be seen.
 Those who have seen the mouth of the canyon at the ferry say that the colorations are quite as vivid as those at any other point. The walls of the canyon just above the ferry are ex- ceptionally high, rising perpendicular from the edge of the river.

ARGYLE GROUP OF CLAIMS Is LEASED
 ID CHLORIDE MEN
(From Chlcride Section Daily Miner)

~NN%Ae-A
 The biggest leasing project report ed in the Chloride district within the past few weeks eliminated this week when papers were signed by which Messrs. Copley and Williams and Jack Degman will operate on five claims in the Elkhart Mines company's holdings. The claims affected are known as the Argyle group, which consists of the Argyle, Victoria, Edgar, Victoria mill site and the Elkhart Extension claims. They are located north of the Elkhart mine and comprise 60 acres of ground.
 The lease is for a period of ten years and a stock company is in course of formation to operate it. The ground carries the northerly exten- sion of the SchuyIIzill and El1hart vein systems and also the Tennessee vein. In addition there is a well defined vein on the ground known as the Victoria vein.
 There is a vertical shaft on the property that is now down to a depth of 200 feet, and with the installation of new hoist and compressor, work of crosscutting for the three veins that are known to be within 200 feet radius of the shaft will be begun. In the meantime the top of the shaft will be retimbered.

The shaft of the Goldroad Bonanza at Goldroad broke into two feet of ore at a depth of 600 feet Tuesday. Assays show values of S29 per ton in gold. President Torpey and Manager Rogers have struggled hard to keep this property working and their many friends will be pleased to hear of the strike. It is to be hoped that it will steadily improve and grow bigger.
