Discover Rich Vein.
rFrom wednesday,s Daily Miner,

(FrOm Wednesdays Daily miner.)
 Reports reaching Kingman last night from the Red Gap Gold camp in the New Weaver district, 20 miles west of Chloride, were that the ore vein recently opened up on that prop erty gave evidences of bonanza ore in the near future. A sixteen inch vein running S75 a ton as piled on the dump has widened, it was report ed, to five feet. The breast of the drift is in solid ore carrying values of high grade character and shows an abundance of free gold.
 The vein is widening with every round of shots and it is believed that higher values are soon to - opened. Mining men who have inspected the ore are of the opinion that a great boom is destined for this section of the ore country in the near future. The location is at the upper end of the Black hills, an extension of the river range bounding the western edge of the Sacramento valley.
 The company is working two shifts of men blocking out another pay shoot. Many thousands of dollars of free milling ore is averaging better than S2O. Two drifts are being run and within a short time, it is believed, sui ficient ore will be in sight to justify the erection of large, modern mill.
 Every opening in the property shows ore of good milling value. In

Officials of the Gold Ore Mining company, upon inspecting the recent strike on that property, have found that the values are holding up to their expectations and are confident that as- says of the general run taken out the last few days and which are to be completed today will disclose large paying bodies of rock. The twO-fOOt break in the winze from the 5OO-fOOt level has widened to eight feet.
 Samples taken from the bottom of the winze assay .56 ounces gold, or in the neighbOrhOOd of $11.5O a ton. Of ficials express satisfaction at this class of milling ore and believe that later assays will show that it is holding up. ''This looks good to us," said Super intendent Werden Friday.
 The formation of the vein has been observed to change to a dip of 80 degrees north since the first inspection was made two weeks ago. Officials expect this dip will be maintained.

The distance from Kingman to St. Thomas is about no miles.
 In addition to benefits accruing to Mohave county mines, construction of the Clark road would provide cheaper coal for this section of the country. A direct route from the coal mines of Utah and the northwest would be es- tablished. The Clark properties around Jerome, Clarkdale, the Hayden coun- try and the Swansea district thereby would be greatly benefited.
 Already Operating.
 The Clarks have started sinking two three-compartment shafts on the Swansea property and will immediate ly start up the smelter which has a capacity of 1000 tens Q day. They have also taken options on the ma jority of the stock of the Carrigan properties adjoining and also those of Col. Ed. Brown as well as half a dozen lesser properties. And their influence has started things up for 100 miles around.
 South of Swansea and west of Bouse, the Mohegan properties and the Little Butte properties are being ex- amined by Phelps-Dodge & Co.,, with a view of purchase. J. Murray has struck 12 feet wide of $40.0O free milling ore in the Flying Dutchman joining the Mohegan on the east, and there is said to be a deal on for it for a million dollars. South of this, new owners of the Lead Camp proper ties (said to be U. $. s. & Refining Col have struck a large body of ship ping ore and are shipping every day copper-gold-silver-lead ores, and one of the new discoveries has opened up rich antimony ores running as big as S1O,OOO per ton in gold and silver ores. Other properties in that vicinity are all beginning to ship ores.

(From Wednesdays Daily miner.)
 Inspector O. E. Walker reports that the Wallapai experimental well is now at a depth of 935 feet and that work has been resumed after a suspension of ten days during which time the driIlers were awaiting a special drill to be used in hard rock for which they had to send to Houston, Texas. Mon day morning they found that 47O feet of water had run into the well since the work was suspended. Mir. Walker and the contractor, Chas. E. BOehm are both confident that an artesian flow may now be expected and that all indications are favorable as the rock through which they are now drill ing is hard malapai and quartz and into which they have drilled for over 100 feet. This formation usually pre- cedes a good flow of water. The contract calls for 1,5OO feet but

(From Saturdays Daily Miner)
 Surveys have been made and every thing is said to have been worked out, upon the contingency of Clark obtain ing control of the rich copper mines in the Swansea district.
 Purchase Swansea Consolidated.
 The Clark interests are said to have purchased the Swansea Consolidated under lease and bond for 10 years at a 50 per cent royalty and a purchase price of $5,OOO,OOO. Along with this deal went control of the B. & N. rail road from Swansea to Bouse, q miles. They also have bought the Spreckles road from San Diego through the I'm perial valley to Yuma. This would give them entry into San Diego, and with construction of the road north from Yuma via Swansea to St. Thomas, an outlet into Salt Lake City market and secure millions of tons of freight for their line.
 The line would tap one of the rich est mining districts of the southwest and connect up the road with the Nevada and Utah properties.
 For Kingman, Chloride and other mining districts in this section, it would mean opening up communica- tion with the smelters in Nevada and Utah and afford entry into Swansea and on through to San Diego.
 The McCracken district in southern Mohave county would be directly af- fected, also the road would facilitate the development of properties the en- tire length of the Wallapai mountains and north to the Colorado river.
 Would Touch Kingman.
 From Swansea, the projected rail road would run to Kingman, distance of about 80 miles. North of Kingmanl it would run to St. Thomas, 25 miles across the Colorado river into Nevada

SUFFLER RETURNS TO BULL
 CANYON

Andy Suffer, who has been pros pecting in the Wallapais, was in King man yesterday and reports finding some gOod-looking molybdenite ore in the Bull Canyon section. He will re- turn today to do some work on the property to get a line on it's value. The section in which he has been pros pecting is well mineralized and will eventually be the big mining section of the county.

The project for building railroad north and south through Mo6ave county touching Kingman and Chloride has been revived with receipt of word of the purchase of the Swansea Consolidated properties by W. A. Clark & SOns Montana copper magnates and owners of the Unit ed Jerome Verde at Jerome Arizona.
 For several years there has been talk of the Clark interests securing control of the Swansea properties just over the Bill Williams river in Yuma county and con- strucon of railroad north to connect with the Salt Lake 6 San Pedro line Clark road at St. Thomas Nevada.

the vein already drifted on it appears that the vein had been broken and heavy pieces injected into the mass of wall rock. In addition to the gold values, rich streak of silver has been proven.
 The mine is being operated under favorable conditions, a good spring supplying all the water needed for camp use and development operations. The cost of mining is low compared to other properties, and the company is optimistic over the future.

GFrom sundar., Daily ar1ner1

J. E. Strumquist, W. H. Welsh, James Mcconnell and E. A. Shaw ar rived from Los Angeles last night and with R. E. Zuver left for Gold Road where they will inspect the recent strike on the Gold Ore, which they control. Reports brought in recently from the Gold Ore show that very high grade of mineral has been en- countered in a winze from the 530-foot level. The rock has opened up from five feet to 12 feet, assaying an aver age of S15 to the ton. The values in places run into the thousands of dol lars, one speciment showing S50,000.
 Mr. Mcconnell has recently been elected president of the Gold Ore, sue ceeding c. s. Spear, of Fort Smith, Ark, deceased. It is announced that plans have been made for developing the mine on a large scale, with a pos sibility of erecting a mill before the end of the year.

his subject, the relations of man to his Creator, which, however, he ex- plained he considered the most i'm portant, that he displayed that keen insight and reasoning power which has branched him a thinker and student. He defed the atheist to disprove the principles and doctrines of the Chris tian religion. "The usual procedure, {" he said, 'is to give the atheist the ad- vantage of the argument by allowing him to ask all the questions. That is wrong. Let him take it turn about with you, and he will be unable to sub stantiate his arguments"
 The speaker closed his lecture with beautiful word pictures of the work ings of the scheme of the universe and the laws of nature, asking those disputing the divinity to explain the theory of creation or establish a hypothesis upon which to base their arguments. The entire chain of crea- tion and development of humanity were traced in his arguments. He said he was willing to accept the mysteries of religion the same as he accepts the mysteries of nature. "You had as well dispute the one as the other" he con- cluded.
 Other Features of Program
 Preceding Mir. Bryan's lecture Wal ter Jenkins, baritone, sang several Scotch and Irish songs. He was call ed back by number of encores. Mile. Madeleine Archinard accompanied on the piano.
 Little Women," the drama, was the feature of last nights program. The play was dramatized from Louisa M. Alcott's famous story, and as given by the IA players in the cast last night was especially good.
 The program this afternoon will con- sist of a prelude by Peggy Hill and Ruby Norman and entertainment by Frank Ducrot and company. In the evening there will be a prelude by Peggy Hill and Ruby Norman and a lecture by Edward Amherst Ott.

Mohave County miner., 1917-05-19

From the sublime to the ridiculous, William Jennings Bryan, former sec retary of state and Democratic leader for score of years, yesterday after noon swept his audience at the Chau- tauqua along with him in a masterly lecture on Fundamentals" At times, the audience was on the verge of tears; at others it was acclaiming with uproarous laughter it's approval of the speakers declaration for application of principles of liberty and freedom to the nations of the. earth.
 MT. Bryan at times showed that age is beginning to stap the vitality and fire with which he in other years was able to sway his audience. At other times, he launched into his accustomed flights of oratory which has endeared him to the American public. Mir. Bryan occupies a pectAiar and almost sacred place in the hearts of the people. It has been said of him that he was dreamer and thinker; that his part in the scheme of national politics was to blaze the trail to greater freedom. Political economists are agreed that he has done more than any other American statesman of recent years to help mould public opinion into the controlling power that it is today.
 Brings Message.
 The speaker prefaced his lecture with a message direct from the ad- ministration concerning the participa- tion of the United States in the world war. It was an appeal from Secretary of Agriculture Houston for conserva- tion of food supplies and increased production to help feed the warning nations. Economy in the household is a very important item, in the plan mapped out by the department, he showed, and explained that the boys and girls can contribute materially to greater food production.
 "We must help reduce the S700,- 100000 wasted annually in the Amer ican homes," said MT. Bryan.
 He praised the American republic for pointing the way to liberty and freedom for all peoples, citing the recent examples of China and Russia in patterning their governments after the American republic. Russia, he said, ultimately will overcome the diff ficulties and travails to transformation from czardom to a democracy, and predicted that out of the worldwide conflict will emerge greater liberty. Even in Germany, he showed, the, spi- Tit of democracy is in the ascendency.
 In discussing the relations to the government, society and religion, MT. Bryan struck his old stride. Those who had heard him in the early days of his political career were reminded of the fire and enthusiasm with which he appealed to his audiences. With telling logic, he pointed out the various duties and responsibilities of citizen ship and loyalty. With equal force, he emphasized his arguments for per formance of the duties involved in re- lation to society.

GOLD ORE CUTS INTO HIGH

1 33 feet below the 530-foot level while ore was being extracted for the Gold Road mill. The average value of the ore extracted from the winze was $40 and the last round blasted assayed. $120 a ton. Work was discontinued at that time because the Gold Road mill shut down.
 Almost the first round that was shot when work was resumed broke into high grade ore, and the third round disclosed many rich specimens.
 Seventy-fve feet below the collar of the winze the vein, which dips slightly to the south, strengthened up and at 90 feet the dip was slightly to the north, which is the inclination of the Gold Road vein.
 $50 Ton Value Found.
 At the 1OO-foot point the vein shows fully seven feet of banded rib bon quartz that 'Tbreaks down" from two smooth, andesite walls at a value of better than $50 per ton and sam pies can be picked from this immense tonnage that shows free gold and as- say values into the thousands.
 MT. Strumquist and associates hold an option on controlling interest in the Gold Ore shares, besides a private ownership of an equal or greater acreage surrounding that estate on one end and two sides between it and the Gold Road mine. These men are not promoters or stock brokers, but miners and prospectors who were fol- lowing the business and their best judgment in the district long before Oatman had real estate or mining stock excitement.
 Old Mining Man.
 Mir. Mcconnell needs no introduc- tion to mining men or miners in the southwest, being known in many camps. For several years he was en- gagged in business at Gold Road and during that time became associated with Joe Perrizo in the ownership of the ground that now forms the United Eastern mine.
 Compressed air is piped to the mine from the Gold Road, permitting the use of machine drills and the opera tion of an air hoist at the winze.
