uld not nod back. But he said You

Mr. Dove, it appears, got dry along to-

The old flour mill then came up
Members told of it's establishment by
w. B. Hellings and how it later devel-
oped into what is now known as the
Valley flour mills. 1t was related
that the nearest railroad was 1000
miles away, and supplies had to be
freighted from St. Louis on the east or
from California on the west. The
stories members of the Unnamed told
about the language used by the
freighters were so hot that they would
burn the paper if set down here.
Mule skinning wasn't in it, said Mr..
Dove.
Prices Then And Now
Member Moore presented a state
ment on prices in the 7o's and now
mously adopted, reads:
Flour sold for SO gold hundred
pounds. which is about the same as IT
is today with railroads. Bacon sold
for 81 a pound. which is a little more
than it is today and about what 1T was
during the world war. Whiskey sold
for 25 cents drink. which is about
5000 per cent cheaper than 1t is to-
day. Sugar dragged 1000 miles
amidst violent swearing sold for 70
cents pound as against 70 ana 81
cents today. with railroads.

Don't you remember. Mr.. Chairman.
we had 400 population when the town
was moved, counting kids and ladies'.
Well, out of that 400 there must have
been $50 boys old enough to fight and

old Geronimo. so he stuck to his
Apache trail and kept on going south

DIANA REPORTS IS FEET
 OF MILLING ORE ON 300

Owing to the encountering of strong flow of water below the 300 level of the Diana shaft sinking has been slowed up. The management is car rying drifts out on the vein, after a crosscut revealed body of ore IS feet thick. This ore is of milling grade, with streaks of high grade through the mass. The company pur- poses carrying the shaft to the 500 level, but it is possible the equipment may have to be reinforced.
 The Diana is one of the old time producers of the Chloride district and should make good as a new producer. In sinking the shaft splendid bodies of ore were encountered, but below the 200 level the vein dipped out of the shaft and crosscut had to be made at the 300. The present operating corporation is said to be we'll financed and the management is sure to make a big shipper of the property. The .ter encountered vii eventually be w61h money to the mine, as a mill ing Hant will have to be installed Aa concentrate the large tonnage of mill ore that being opened.

TUNNEL ON MARYBELLE ...
 CUTS 3 FEET OF ORE

The tunnel on the Marybelle mine, at Chloride, has entered three feet of good shipping ore and shows eight or nine feet of mill rock. This property is the south extension of the Payroll and is on the line of the big Rankin tunnel, which is to tap the veins at depth of 2000 feet. The Marybelle has been a producer of high grade silve-lead ore and a shaft on the new ore body should produce results.
 Col. Rankin, who has been promot- ing the Marybelle and the tunnel scheme, was a Kingman visitor this week and was we'll pleased with con ditions at the properties.
 Development 18-1
 The Arizona Brunswick is drifting from the present level of it's shaft and is said to be getting good ore. This company has applied to the Desert Power & Water Co. for electrical power and it is expected that the juice will be turned on at that pro perty soon.

CO[DROAD ANNEX IS FINANCED AND WILL
 START WORK SOON

This week L. M. Hopkins, presi- dent of the Goldroad Annex Mines company, secured the financing of the treasury, $50,000 being put in the bank for the development of the prop erty at Goldroad. MT. Hopkins has been working hard during the past year to secure the money necessary to carry on the developments planned by the management and that he has succeeded is a matter for congratul- ation.
 The property of the Goldroad Annex Mines company is situated between the Line Road claim of the Gold Road Mines company and the Gold Ore. It is purposed to enter the Line Road tunnel and at point 800 feet from the portal drive crosscut to the An nex vein, which will be entered at a depth of approximately 800 feet. A contract has been entered into with the Gold Road Mines company for the use of this tunnel and the nec- essary equipment to carry on the work is in place. No delay will be encouu- tered in carrying on the work and the crosscut should be in the vein in few months. The Line Road tunnel is fully equipped to carry on any amount of work, the company having operated through that opening for long time
 Joe Onetto, who is heavily interest ed in the company is to have charge of operations and is sure to get big results front he outlay of money. MT. Onetto, who is conversant with ore deposition in that country, feels sure of the opening of big ore body in the Annex. It was Onetto that open . ed the big ore body in the Gold Road and who left that property last year with more than 100000 tons of high grade milling ore in sight. Like so many of the old time chloriders and miners of the southwest, Onetto has "nose for ore 'and so far has suc- ceeded in the development of an ore body in every mine that he has entr- ed and in which he has had free hand to carry on developments.
 Associated with MT. Hopkins in the financing of the property and who was instrumental in the raising of the $50,000 is F. w. Fox. MT. Fox is to be closely identified with the project | hereafter,

MEN VISIT
 ARIZONA BUTTE MINE

Last week the mines and holdings of the Arizona Butte Mines company were examined by H. H. Patterson, H.. G. Veeder, w. H. Robinson and P. E. Hunter, of Pittsburgh, Pa., who are largely interested in that proper ty and who are looking after the fi-
 nancial end of the deal. The men spent several days looking over the ground, and although the rains made going bad they were thoroughly satis- fled with the potentialities of the company's holdings.
 < In conversation with the mining edi- tor MT. Robinson informed us that he and associates were more than sat- isfied with the property and would recommend to their Pittsburgh asso- ciates the financing of the new cor poration on a large scale, at least $100,000 being maintained at all times until the big tunnel was completed. This tunnel they believed to be the crux of the mining situation at Stock ton Hill and instructions were given to drive it with all possible speed. To 'do this additional equipment is to be placed on the ground. housing fa- cilities put in and the main work car ried on from the foot of the hill. It is probable that the tunnel will be electrized, in which event the mine will be brought under more economi- cal power basis. No expense for transmission lines would be necessary, as the power line now runs within a few feet of the portal of the tunnel. This line is capable of delivering all the juice that might be consumed in driving machinery on the property. To install the new machinery there would be no loss in the other equip ment, as it would come into use else where. The compressor is equal to the task of driving the tunnel a long distance, but blowers and other ma chimes will have to be put in so that gases would be cleared quickly after firing.
 The visitors left for home last Sun day evening, and carried with them pleasant memories of a profitable visit.

UNITED EASTERN
 HAS PROSPEROUS
 YEAR DUR|NGl9l9

The final report of the United East ern for the year 1919 shows that property to have been one of the most prosperous of the big gold proper ties of the United States. The total gross production shows the mine to have produced $2,OO6,9O3.26, and the dividend payments approximately $1,- 12O,OO0. The mill handled 97,325 tons of ore during the year that had a value above $20 per ton. The best months of the year were January and May the recovery being $210,767.13. May also ran above $2OO,OOO, and De- cember totaled $19s,291.39. During the months of August and September the mill was operated on short time owing to the strike caused by the l. w. w., but the big mill immediately picked up its production in the months following.
 The company has been in operation only few years, but it has gradually increased its gold production until lI has reached a wonderful high plane. The opening of the ore body on the 1340 level has given the mine a long lease of life and makes possible the payment of dividends for many years to come. It has laid away big fund for a rainy day and will be in shape at any time to take over and operate new property. Its proposal to join forces with the Tom Reed in a con solidation of the two great proper ties, is said to be sure of early con- summation. The matter will undoub- tedly be taken up at the annual meet ing of the stockholders, which is to be held at the offices of the company at Oatman early next month. This would make the company, or rather the two companies that are to join ;n the merger, one of the largest gold producing concerns in the United Stat es and would boost the shares to un- precedented figures.
 The last dividend of the company was based on the new plan of quar- terly distributions to the shareholders, 21 cents per share being paid.

S;1ver Demand ,s ever Increasing

The oriental countries have always been the largest markets for our sil- yer. Before the war this supply was bought through London, but since the great conflict much of the supply has been purchased in New York. These are today, prepared to absorb all the silver that can be produced and the Indian and Chinese exporters are con- stantly adding to the balance due them from the merchants of the west.
 In addition to this, if exchanges are to be restored to anything approxi- mating normal the unsecured, or un- backed paper money issues of Europe must be validated. Enough silver can not be mined in years to validate these issues.
 Commenting on the present situa- tion and constantly rising market for silver, one financial authority said re- gently:
 "It is no longer possible for any of the worlds nations to buy silver for coinage, except the United States, un- less they debase their standard coins, instituting a new system in which the coins will contain so little of the white metal that it will not be profitable to melt them"
 Thus the great and growing demand for silver will make possible the reali- zation of the widest dreams of riches ever dreamed by the miners of silver in the United States, as this country and Mexico together supply nearly three-quarters of the worlds entire nrnd1ctinn of the metal

RELOCATE OLD CHAMPION PROPERTY NEAR CHLORIDE

E. J. Bell and w. J. Cook have re- located the old Champion mine, at Cerbat Point and are at work cross cutting the big vein from the 100 level with the intention of getting in to known ore body which formerly carried shipping values. The locators claim that the former owners, the Needles Mining and Smelling com pany, failed to file intention to hold last year and that no assessment work had been done on the property for sev- eral years. The company had filed notice. of intention to hold this claim and others the past two years, but omitted it from it's last notice. This apparently left the claim open to To- cation.
 The Champion was one of the first properties located in the Cerbat sec tion and for years was big produc- CT of silver-lead ore. Values also were carried in gold. Shortly after the building of the Santa Fe railroad the property was operated by Munroe Salisbury, who had built a shelter at Benson, and thousands of tons of ore were shipped to that place. The ad- vent of ore buyers into this country from San Francisco and Colorado points finally put the Benson smell ter out of commission, and the opera tion of the Champion and other Sails bury properties in this county ceased. Later the mine was operated by leas- CTS and made big record. It finally passed into the hands of the Needles Mining & Smelling company, an aux Hilary of the U. s. Smelling, Refining & Mining company, and while under it's control produced largely in lead zinc ores. This company abandoned the mine several times by taking the machinery away from it and then re- installing the same machinery.
 The Champion vein is large and is somewhat similar to the other veins that lie to the south of the big dike system that cuts through the country from northwest to southeast. It has been opened to a depth of several hundred feet and where crosscuts have been run shows a mineralization of about 30 feet in width.
