Big Jim Promoter
 Takes OUer Mine .M Odtmdn Camp

OATMAN. Ariz.. Oct. 13.-Official announcement was made this week that H B. Tetor & Co.,. developers of the Big Jim mine, have assumed con trol of the Gold Ore property and will proceed with all possible expedition to place it upon a producing basis.
 Manager A. c. Worden. who origin ally located the Gold Ore claim in 1908, will remain in charge of the work with A. c. Heating retained as consulting engineer. w. w. Warm bath of the firm of H. B. Tetor & Co.,. has been elected vice president and member of the board of directors. The program is to sink the working shaft on the Gold Ore 200 feet deeper to the 730 foot level, open up the ore body on three levels, the $50. the 53O and the 730. and ship 100 tons daily to the Gold Road mill one mile dis tant by motor trucks. It is expected that the Gold Ore mill will be started soon after the first of the year. There is a possibility that some of the ore from the new Gold Road workings may also be milled, as the plant has capacity of from 200 to 300 tons daily, and the Gold Road is develop ing a large body of high grade ore in the line and tunnel workings. There are estimated to be 3O.000 tons of commercial ore in sight on the Gold Ore and if development pro- duces the anticipated results, it is the intention of the reorganized com pany to construct a mill of its own at the expiration of its lease on the Gold Road mill one year hence. Preparations are being completed for resuming work on the United Northern property. which lies between the United Eastern and the Gold Road Bonanza. A new engine and compress sor have been secured and as soon as this is installed it is expected that the work of sinking the main shaft to the 500 foot level will be con- menced. The shaft is now down 500 feet. with several hundred feet Of cross cutting and drifting on the 400 foot level
 Development work on the Gold Road Bonanza will be resumed very soon as the company has been financed through an assessment provided for at a special meeting of the stock holders. The action was passed unan- imously and sufficient funds have been provided to extend the drift to the point where the junction of the two veins occur. Both the main vein or dyke and the branch vein have been explored, the former on the $50 foot level and the latter on the $50 foot level. where a drift over 400 feet long has been advanced show ing about two feet of good ore all the way.
 It is expected that the work of sink ing the shaft on the Oatman Colconda to a depth of 425 feet, will be com menced very soon. The work will be done by contract, according to the present plans of President F. NJ. Woods, of Denver. who. with his brother. H. N Woods. is the controll- ing factors of the Golconda.
 The Golconda property lies between the Pioneer and the Leland. both of which are developed and have pro- duced. Development work on both of these adjoining properties will be prosecuted during the coming winter. The Golconda is equipped with com plete plant and a shaft 50 feet deep was sunk last year. This will be lowered to the 425 foot level and the vein system explored at that depth.
 At the United Oatman tunnel vein of green quartz carrying some values has been opened up at a dis tance of 500 feet from the portal. This vein is about two feet wide and forms a contact with the black spar vein which is being explored by the tunnel. The tunnel is following the strike of the foot wall of the vein and cross cut has been run to the west about 100 feet without locating the hanging wall.
 Drifting continues in both direc- tlons on the Sunnyside. along the foot wall of the vein, both faces being in vell-formed quartz carrying encour- aging values. No notable change has occurred during the past week.
 At the Tom Reed. it is expected that production from the Aztec workings will be materially increased by the installation of a cable tram way, which was ordered last spring, but not delivered until this week.
 Increased production is also the rule at the United Eastern. the aver. age daily tonnage now running about 275. with possibilities of the 800 mark being reached during the coming month. The final stage in sinking the shaft to the 965 foot level is now being consummated. the station. ore pockvt. etc. at the seventh level hay ing been fully completed.
