At any instant the bottom Of the whcel

Hoz0 a change in the shape of a carton
secured the packer a nezO margin ofbroft

THEY thought that they needed only
l. new supply Of the same old packages.
All they asked in placing the order was a
guarantee of equal protection and quality
at the same price.
But study of the problem by represen-
tatives of the Robert Gair Company showed
that the shape of the old carton was wrong
for two reasons. First, it necessitated a
big waste Of stock and an extra cutting
operation. Second, it allowed the carton
blanks to be run off comparatively few at
atime-and so printing costs were excessive.
BY shifting only 3 of an inch from the
depth to the height of the carton-without
decreasing the cubic contents-the cost
OF stock was cut 1870 and the cost of cut
ting and printing reduced 400. Inciden-
tally, the new shape gave more advertising
surface and greater strength!
This is just one illustration Of the in
genuity and mechanical skill which the
Robert Gair Company applies to solving
every package problem.

OLD MOSS SHOWS SlO VALUES ACROSS
 $ FOOT ORE BODY

The old Moss mine, in the Silver Creek section, has been unwatered and the muck and slush removed from the drifts. A crosscut on the 220 level now shows 25 feet of $10 rock, which is good pay when it is considered that the Moss ore can be milled far more cheaply than any other ore in the dis
 trict. This mine was the property that in the early eos attracted the at tention of the mining world. Its ore was of such high grade that large part of it was cut into jewelry, the quartz matrix making it desir- able for that purpose. The first two tons shipped to San Francisco is said to have netted the owner $114,OOO. A crosscut of the vein, under the man. agement of Capt. Dahlgren, a civil war veteran, gave values across quite a footage of $32. Several hundred tons of this ore was milled in a small plant at Hardyville, on the Colorado river. The costs of haulage about consumed the values taken from the ore, and inability to finance further development and erect large mill at the mine caused Capt. Dahlgren to abandon the project. Nevertheless it is our opinion that deeper exploration, which will son be under way, will bring to light vast treasurer of gold.
 The latest report from the mine places the length of the ore shoot on the fourth level at $50 feet, with ore ahead in both headings. The face of the west drift is reported to carry values of $40 a ton across its full width. Three raises have been driven on this level and each is in very high grade milling ore. At one point, where connection was made with winze sunk below the third level by former operators, ore was encountered having a silver content as high as 1000 ounces a ton.

GOLD CHAIN FAST DEVELOPING INTO
 RICH PROPERTY

The Gold Chain mine is fast devel- oping into a real property, the adit drift being now 300 feet from the portal and a perpendicular depth of 150 feet. The drift is being carried along the footwall of the vein, the fill ing between walls being approximate ly the same as that of the Katherine. The company is now installing an engine and compressor and will soon have machine drills in operation, and later a hoist and other necessary ma chinery will be placed and shaft carried down several hundred feet on the main ore body. The ore is high milling grade and the tonnage so far developed is amazing when one con- siders the amount of work done on the property: The property is situated 2 3-4 miles northeasterly from the Katherine and is supposed to be on that wonderful vein system. The management has been all that com pany could wish for, every dollar ex- pended bringing a dollars worth of work. c. F. Nourse is general mana ger of the mines and it is due to his good work that the mine is now one of the best showings in the district, aside from the massive ore bodies in the Katherine.
 Mining men who have been look ing this property over are of the opinion that it will be one of the largest producers of high mill ore in the district. If the crosscut that is now being driven proves up the vein as surface indications show the mine will have a wonderful tonnage of blocked ore.

OATMAN REVENUE LET'S CONTRACT FOR
 200 FOOT SHAFT

A meeting of the stockholders of the Oatman Revenue Mines Company, with property in the Union Pass Dis trict, was held at the offices of the company in the Armour Building, Kingman, on Tuesday, April 9th. The report of the president, Henry John son, showed the company to be in ex- cellent condition and ready to proceed in the active development of the big ore bodies believed to exist on the property. A contract has been given to J. M. Savage for a shaft to be sunk at point selected by the general manager, Henry Johnson, and work starts today.
 The outcome will be watched with a great deal of interest as the com pany has a splendid showing on the surface and their ground is located in the heart of the big doings in the Union Pass district
 An election of officers was held and the following officers elected for the ensuing year: Henry Johnson, Pres ident; Thos. J. Hudspeth, Vice-Pres- ident; c. M. Leonard, Secretary and Treasurer. These with Judge E. E. Armour and Chas. J. Phillips consti- ute the Board of Directors.
 The company feels that it has done well to select board of directors con- sisting of all local men, enabling it to handle its business promptly and economically.
 Thomas J. Hudspeth, the new vice president of the company, is one of the best known sheep growers of northern Arizona and a man who will see that the affairs of the company are conducted in a strictly business way. And the same may be said of all the other officers, who are local ly known to the investing public.
 c. M. Leonard, the new Secretary and Treasurer, and fiscal agent for the company, reports the sale of stock progressing splendidly, the people of Kingman showing their confidence in the property by liberal buying of the shares.

TOM REED STRIKES NEW ORE BODY IN
 RAISE FROM 400

A report is current that the Tom Reed has opened big body of ore in a raise through what is known as the "Sideline" vein from the 400 level of the Grey Eagle. This is the vein that was divided between the United East ern and the Tom Reed according to the decision of Judge Bollinger, no extralateral rights being allowed either company. This vein was said to have carried big gold values and it was but a matter of a short time un- til some action would be taken looking to the utilization of the ores. It is the impression that no matter what action the appellate courts may take it will not disturb the rights of the Reed in and to this segment of the big vein. The values in these ores is said to be high and it is possible that a worthwhile ore shoot will be open ed.
 Another rumor has it that the Reed has also opened an ore body toward the United American that carries good mill values and is of considerable ex- tent, but there has been no verifica- tion of the report. Nevertheless, we may hear of strike on the Tom Reed vein at any time, as it has wonderful estate that may be de- pended upon to bring in big things.

COD. SHIPS FOURTH CAR OF CONCENTRATES

With the newly completed mill at the c. o. D. mine working practi- cally at it's full capacity and the ore conditions on the 400-foot level in the underground workings continuing to show an improvement as the east and west headings are advanced, this old time producer of the Cerbat country is just entering upon an era of pro- duction which promises to surpass within comparatively short time its past record of better than a million dollars worth of ore mined and mlled.
 The fourth carload lot of concen- trates was shipped the current week to the s1nelter at Midvale, Utah, and is to be followed by other shipments in like tonnage at six day intervals. The concentrates have a value of $240 a ton, the content being 200 ounces silver and two ounces gold a ton. All of the ore going through the mill is being extracted during the ordinary course of development work and is reported to have general av- craze value of approximately $35 a ton.

levels. The vein varies in width from 30 to 68 feet and is said to have an average value of $14 gold to the ton.
 On the first three levels the ore has been blocked out for length of $40 feet by means of crosscuts run every 50 feet and by raises driven to the corresponding level above. Like de- velopment work is now underway on the 400-foot level.
 Seven feet of ore on the 400-foot level is said to average $220 gold a ton, with the remainder of the vein breaking to high milling average. The winze between the second and third levels is said to carry six feet of ore having an average value of $275 gold a ton.
 The high average "break" of the ore shoot, one of the longest recorded in mining annals, stamps the Katherine mine as one of the most phenomenal gold propositions ever discovered. The course, or strike of the Katherine vein has been trac- ed for a distance of over three miles.
 For this reason the district is be- ing called the "Rand of America" by mining men from abroad. These men assert that the district presents all of the high grade ore characteristics pos sessed by Cripple Creek and Goldfield, and that it has much broader area of ore distribution.
