A report from Rome containing in
formation as to German air losses
bears evidence of accuracy, according
to E. Percy Noel, the American avia-
ton expert. Germany has lost num-
crous small monrigid dirigibles, which
added to the Zeppelin dirigibles lost
would make a total of Al. These fig
ures, like those showing that 36s
acroplanes and 1,400 aviators had
been lost by Germany were probably
correct, he says, at the end Of 1913
but the number undoubtedly has
been Increased since then.

TOM REED SHARES
MAKE DECIDED GAIN

Tom Reed stock in three days has
made a notable advance on the Los
Angeles and San Francisco exchanges
of 13 points. Prior to that it was how
ering around S1.38, but at high yes
terday it reached S1.51, with a sale
at S1.4S. The explanation is in the
resumption of work with ten stamps,
making 20 in operation, assuring an
increased production to 100000 a
month.
There are many sales of Big jim
around 80 and 81 cents, showing that
it is the white-haired boy of investors
at any price that it happens to touch.
Let it go down and people demand it
all the more, or let it go up and they
grab it Just the same on the theory
that if it does not keep on going now
it will sometime.
There is 4 lot of new activity in the
form of bidding for some of the cheap
err stocks that were holding aloof as
reservists. Some that had not been
mentioned for quite a period are
sought for like ice cream on a July
afternoon, showing a sure, if quiet,
demand that it is no more than good
reckoning to take note of for future
reference, when all agree things are
going to get good again. All are fur
Their agreed that there is bound to be
a little dullness in the hot months,
when many people are away, the same
elsewhere as at 0atman. If the stocks
were in a Klondike mine there would
be a summer slump just the same, but
wherever the gold is there will be peo-
pie after it, and it is only those who
have gotten a share who take these
trips or can afford such luxuries. All
of which tends to accentuate the mo-
mentum of the force leading to the
other extreme, which will come in the
form of a great boom in the fall.

CALIFORNIA ALL IN
FAVOR OF OATMAN

From Oatman Section Daily NIiner.l
81 heard lot of talk in favor of
Oatman, and not one person uttered a
word against it." said ]. c. McCor-
mack yesterday in commenting upon
his visit to Bakersfield, Fresno, Sac
ramento and San Francisco. at was
only after got back last evening that
1 heard any knocking.
Everybody said that they had
great faith in Oatman and in all Mo-
have county. The general opinion is
that Mohave is going to experience a
great big development, and for my
part cannot see how it can get away
from it.
1t was inevitable that some of the
properties would have to shut down
temporarily for lack of funds, some,
perhaps, that were not fully financed
to start with. but they are very few,
indeed, when compared with the large
number that are fully financed and
still working.
"With close to 200 of them at work,
and to be at work under all cOndi-
tions, some of them are bound to
strike it, and when it comes there will
be a revival that will more than off
set the little quiet period that any
camp is bound to experience in the hot
months.
"As long as companies like the
United Eastern and Tom Reed and
Big Jim are working and developing
ore and others with just as good indi-
cations are after it, we need not
worry. It is doubtful if the big fell
lows who make mines like the Eastern
care particularly about the conditions
good or bad, that temporarily visit US
Their financial problems are solved
and they go ahead with their work re-
CARELESS of the little vicissitudes OF
those who are not so well on their
I feet.
"Oatman is going to be big camp
and my advice is to stay with it."
