REPORT UNION PASS SECTION ON EYE IF
 GREAT GOLD BOOM

KINGMAN. Arizona. April 2S. = Gcid- bearing veins presenting ore yielding potentialities similar to those which caused the sensational rush to the Cripple Creek and to Goldfield. demonstrate that the Union Pass section of the River Range country is one of exceptional mineral promise. During the past few weeks the area has been inspect ed by many practical miners and en- gineers and the concensus of their opinion is that a gold mining camp or large proportions will soon be es- abolished there- A number of prop critics along the course of the Kath- erine vein, the mother lode of the district, have already been taken over by mining men from abroad, and the same condition applies in lesser degree to mine acreage located along the strikes of the veins that parallel the massive upitft of the mother lode.
 California is represented in the new camp by Frank Allen, a director and large stockholder in the Kennedy and Argonaut mines: Charles N. Miller, who is operating the Morington plac- sr mine in the Feather River country; Frank Littlefield, well know metal lurgist: C. H. Urquhart, formerly of Amador and now superintendent of the c O. D. mine in the Cerbat Range w. P. O'Meara, of Los An geles, who mined a fortune from ease on the Mizpah claim during the early days of Tonopah: and John B. Tregloan of Alameda, former super fntendent of the McNamara mill at Eonopah and later of the United Eastern min at Oatman.
 Nevada is represented by Morris D. Dudley, formerly of Manhattan. who with his associates has expended more than s1.00o.000 in the develop
 nent of mining properties in the fcuntry tributary to kingman; Branch H. Smith, well known mine manager of Tonopah. Frank T. Tor Pcy of Alameda, who is operating the rncle Sam mine in the Eureka, Ne Fada- district; Charles s. Sprague, damaging director of the Jumbo Ex-
 cnsion mine at Goldfield: c. A. Cal Noun. a metallurgical chemist who vas for many years connected with mining companies of Tonopah; J. P Eoftus. well known mine operator at Soldfield and Round Mountain; M. Page, successful leaser in several Nevada mining camps. and J. K.

 The bonanza Comstock lode. great est of all er-gold veins, is repre- Ssnted by Charles Sutro of San Fran risco- The name of Sutro is inti- ma1 ely associated with early day mining successes at Virginia City, Nevada. and it appears it is to be 1uite as Intimately associated with gold mining successes of the River Eange country. Charles Sutro and his associates have for number of gears been developing the Katherine property from a prospect into mine. The degrc-pf success they have att raind is better understood when it is stated that the ore tonnage blocked yut values more than $3,000,000, and that the ore exposed on the 400-foot N-el has value fully equal to the ore exposed on the levels above. Plans are now being made to equip the mine with more powerful ma <hinery. preparatory to sinking the shaf. to the depth of 700 feet for the erection of an ore reducing plant.
 Charles N. Miller of San Francisco Has purchased the Katherine Exten- Hon property and is preparing to open the extension of the rich Kath- crime vein A two accompaniment yer teal shaft is being sunk for that purpose The strike of the Katherine vein is readily traced into Katherine Extension ground and is yielding good values where exposed at surface and nominal depth within the lines of the Katherine Extension property Miller was one of the first to pioneer" in the new district and is In line to open one of the big mines there.
 The camp of Katherine, recently established on the Katherine Exten- sion property, already is presenting Che scenes of animation that precede the rush to a new mining district Streets have been surveyed and xra ded, and buildings are now in the Course of erection at various points on the town site
 Business is in full swing in the men. pending the completion of struc- lures to house it, and Is growing and Arriving. One enterprising resident has erected a tent restaurant and IS overcrowded with patrons. Another resident, fully as enterprising, IS pre- paring to erect bath house amid the arid sweep of desert sand. Yet another has ordered the material for A fire proof garage to house the score ar more automobiles owned by the pfoneers of the camp. rom Der vine, proprietor of the Beale hotel Of kingrnan, is preparing to establish branch hotel in the new camp. The necessary furnishings have been or dered by telegraph rom Los Angeles. Last Saturday night the pioneers of Katherine officially 'christened' thelr new camp by. giving a dance and s,,pper in a newly complete building which in the near future Is to be utilized for the more prosaic pastime of dealing out the flour, and the xugar. and the ham at so much per The affair was attended by more than 25O people. and was graced by narntb of hospitality and an unas- cunning courtesy to which more pre- tentious and fashionable gatherings Ere too often stranger. Among those present were men and women whe have blazed mining trails from the African Rand to the Arctic clfcle- men and women to whom privatlor And physicaI discomfort are but 2 rsrt of the Great Adventure
