M0SSBACk AT OAThAN
 GETTING INTO BIG ORE

Richard Mangrum, who recently in- stalled the hoisting and compressor plant for the Mossback company, re- turned from the mines Thursday and reports that the shaft is now down $40 feet and in one that pans close to $10O to the ton in gold. The shaft has been in the same grade of ore for at least 80 feet, but as the crosscut has been run to ascertain its width nothing is known of its extent. The vein is an immense one and it is pos sible that the ore lenze may be of great width at the point where the shaft entered the ore body.
 The shaft is being carried down as fast as possible and no drifting or crosscuts will be run until the 500 is reached, when the mine to that depth will be exploited thoroughly. The property is one of the most promising in the Silver Creek region, which is the confluence of the Oatman and Gold Road vein systems.

GOLD PRODUCERS MEETING AT RENO
 ASK FOR RELIEF

RENO, Nev., August 14.-The large
 meeting of gold producers of Ameri.
 ca, especially the western states, con.
 cluded a three-day session here today
 It was demonstrated that the costs of i production of gold had increased al
 least 60 per cent over pre-war con.
 ditions, and that during the past six
 months the increased costs have been
 heavy. The sentiment of the meeting
 favored a bonus of ten dollars per
 ounce on gold until such time as costs decreased. A fixing board was advo- cated that would from time to time arrange a new schedule covering eith- CT increased or decreased costs. The convention declared against any change in the minting ratio of gold, because of the disorganization of the money of the world.
 A committee was appointed to 20 to Washington to present the matteu to the government, carrying with the facts and figures on gold production. It can show that many mines in the mining states of the west are running at close margin, while others have been compelled to close down because of high costs and inability to make it pay. The resolutions adopted are as follows:
 Relief by the United States to the gold producers of this country to cor respond with, the increased cost of production, the extent of such relief to be fixed from time to time to meet changing conditions.
 "That nothing contained in these resolutions as passed is to be con- strued as meaning an intention to al- ter the amount of gold in the dollar 'r to place premium on gold"
 The convention then voted to make he organization permanent with rep 'esentatives from all the gold-produc- ng states and to open an office in Re- 10 for the transaction of future busi- less.
 J. A. Burgess, of the United East 'rn, was the only representative from dohave county, but he was one of he best posted men at the meeting, laving had reason to investigate the ubject during the past six months r more on account of the direct issue etween the gold mines and the cop CT mines owing to the high copper cale of wage, and the corresponding ghtening of the labor market.
 MT. Burgess wired the Miner the esult of the conference from which he above article is revised.

IUCkAHOE MINE NEAR
 CHLORIDE GOING AHEAD
 IN DEVELOPMENT WORK

Col. J. Herman Aagard of Los An.
 geles, has taken option on the Tuckahc mine at Chloride, and is installing the hoisting plant formery operated on the Pictured Rock mine at Oatman on it. An engine and air drills was purchased from Stewart Thompson this week and have been sent out to the mines. Col. Aagard expects to have everything In readiness to begin the sinking of the shaft on the property within the next ten days.
 The Tuckaho is one of the old prop- critics of Chloride and was a produc CT in the early days. The surface ores were handled by leasers, the sil- yer being recovered by the teaching process. After the workings passed in- to the sulphide zone the ore was ship ped to the smelter, bringing good re- suits. The opening of the mine at lower levels is sure to open up big bodies of rich silver ore.
 Col. Aagard, who has taken over this property, is we'll known figure in military life, having equipped al company in the early stages of the entry of the United States into the war, and hac been active in other war work.

NEW MILL FOR STANDARD
 MINERALS WILL BE IN
 OPERATION BY NOVEMBER

The Standard Minerals company is
 assembling it's milling machinery at
 the mine and expect to have the plant
 in commission by the first of Novem-
 Der. The mill will have a capacity
 of 50 tons and will be so arranged in units that another 50-ton plant can readily be added. All the machinery
 has been purchased and part of it is already in Kingman, going forward to the mine every day. Other machinery for the mine has also been received and is being sent out. F. G. Lewis lis to be the erector of the big plant and is now on the ground, where ex- |cavation is under way.
 The property of the Standard Min |erals company is about 20 miles east |of Kingman, on the north end of the |Wallapai mountains. The property is opened by shaft to depth of $50 feet, crosscuts being run into the vein and drifts being run. Slopes will soon be opened to allow of the easy extrac- fion of the recently opened high grade pre bodies.

T|NTIC BEING OPENED
 UP BY COL. JIG. RANKIN

Col. J. c. Rankin, one of the vel
 known figures in the mining life o1 the southwest, has taken over the old Tintic and Merrybelle mines at Chlo- ride. A hoisting plant has been in- stalled on the Tintic and sinking will be soon under way. A tunnel is being driven on the Merrybelle mine and that property will be opened from that level.
 The Tintic is one of the mines that in the early days produced some ex- cellent ore from above water level, but owing to the heavy influx of wa ter the old owners practically aban- doned it. It has the earmarks of good and with development to a depth of several hundred feet we be- lieve it will be brought into the pro- ducing class. Col. Rankin is a good and we believe that he will make a successof the venture.

THE GOLD TRAILS IS
 INSTALLING NEW HOIST

D. A. McMillan, of the Gold Trails Mining company, arrived in Kingman few days ago and is getting machin- cry onto the mine, north of Little Meadows. The shaft on the property is to be sunk another 100 feet and some drifting is to be carried on. The com pany has been financed to carry on considerable development work, which contemplates opening the ore body at depth and ascertain its possibilities. Some excellent lenzes ofore were open ed in the upper workings of the prop erty and it is intended to get under these old bodies at depth of close to 300 feet.

LATE NEWS FROM JEROME
 AND VERDE DISTRICTS

The past week has been one of yer,
 little news of character to create ex citement in the mines of the Verde dis trict, nothing new having been show up in any development work at an. of the various properties. In the stocl market, local issues have shown only slight activity, a few sales being re ported in United Verde Extension Hull, Verde Combination, Gadsden anc Jerome & Calumet. Gadsden, Hull and Extension were fairly strong Combination off a trifle, while Calu. met & Jerome reached low point of 11-16 bid. Evidently no stock was of fered at this low figure as no sales were reported.
 Carpenters of the district, not in the employ of any of the various copper companies, demanded and were grant ed an increase to $725 per day.
 Jerome enjoys the unique distinction of being the highest priced town in the country when it comes to tonsorial services. The Barbers' Union have put into effect scale of prices which in- cludes a raise to 35 cents for a shave and 75 cents for haircut. Hereto fore the prices charged in the district for such services were 25 and 50 cents.
 United Verde Extension
 Rumors have been floating about that the United Verde Extension has opened up a fabulously rich deposit of silver during the past week. The re- ports were due to the fact that for some days they have been sacking ore which is said to run high in the white metal. These deposits have been known to exist, having been found just on top of the ore body and in sort of sand, the metal being mostly in the shape of native silver.
 No more shipments of ore are being made to custom smelters, all the prod uct of the mine being now transport ed to the shelter at Verde. While Extension showed a relatively small production in pounds of copper last month, the extraction from the mine was somewhat above the average. It is anticipated that with the blast fur mace running smoothly, it will be pos sible to bring the output of copper up to around the 5,O0O,OOO mark.
 Jerome Verde
 The raise to connect the Maintop ore body with the HOO level will be by the first of the week and within short time thereafter it will be possible to extract the ore from he 900 and above and bring the same o the surface via the Columbia shaft. t is anticipated that some announce nent will be made in the near future IS to the company's policy relative to hipments. No new developments are in any of the other places 'eing worked at this property.

UNITED EASTERN
 SHIPS $24Q,0O0
 BULLION MONTHLY

Wednesday last William F1anipan
 brought in from the United Eastern
 mill big bar of bullion, valued at in
 excess of $6O,0OO. These bars are sent
 out every ten days and a messenger
 goes with them on the train to San
 Francisco, where they are turned over. to the United States mint.
 The shipments of United Eastern bullion is of great importance at this time, amounting as they do to more than $240,00O monthly and being part of what Lloyd George calls the athird line of defense" in the battle for de- mocracy. Gold is the standard of value the world over and it is impor- tant that the mines of this county maintaln their production during the. perlod of the war and long thereafter. To do this wages must be standard. ized, and all the elements that % into. the making of gold dollar must be- rlxed in price in the same proportion as the price is fixed in commodities. told IS not a commodity, and there lore, it is fighting against the princi- pie that gold values must remain fix sd at ratio that was established when all values were low. A few years ago it was thought that so much gold would be produced that it would lave to be demonetized, but it soon became apparent that all the gold that ould possibly be produced would not .ftect world conditions. And today he production of gold has slumped to, m immeasurable extent, just when the necessity of great production was 'aramount,

MANAGER OF BRUNSWICK
 MINING COMPANY HERE

w. J. Cooke of the Brunswick Min ing company, who has been in Chicago and other eastern cities on business, returned to Kingman Tuesday last and went to Chloride the following day. MT. Cooke reports the weather in the east as very hot and that return to Mohave county is a real pleasure.
 It is understood that the reorgani- zation of the Brunswick company and the taking over of the group of mines will be followed by active development of the property. The mines are situat- ed in the midst of the big mineralized area close to the Tennessee and should be a winner.

After having been drilled forty years ago and finding a dry hole, a we'll that was sunk in an effort to get artesian water is now flowing in Phoenix. The we'll was sunk by Joe Drew, we'll known lion hunter of southern Yavapai county. It has been flowing with increasing pressure the past two years and so strong is the flow now that it is to be recased and the water used for drinking and irri- gating purposes. Water from the we'll has no real resemblance to the general run of water and few people like to use it for other than bathing but the artesian water is said to be really good.
