now only three dependents on our

For good roads in Stevens coun-
ty. When was elected to the
County Board we had comparatively
poor roads and very little available
money for road improvement and
construction, which the people rep
resented, expressed a desire for, and
had to obtain such. / stated, then as
now, that I will do everything in my
power to secure money and build
good roads in Stevens county and ev-
cry dollar obtained would be careful
ly invested and expended in a man
ner that will yield one hundred per
cent, so at all times / have been an
ardent advocate of progress with
economy. We now have So miles of
trunk highway graded, graveled or
paved, with four excellent roads
leading into the city of Morris. There
are 116 miles of State Roads graded
and others designated or underway.
We obtained 1851, $50 for the i'm
provement, building and surfacing of
roads in Stevens county. This
amount was in excess of the sum
realized in automobile taxes in Stew
ems county. This good work re-
quired much effort and careful man
agement by certain county officials.
I attended meetings at Wayzata and
st. Paul. in the interest of good roads
which other aspirants attempted to
criticise. During the fall of 1921,
Mr.. P. L. Spooner, Mr.. P. e. Miller
and myself we're appointed on COM
mittee, which were instrumental in
securing an appropriation of federal
and state money, in the sum Of
$28, for crawling the road be-
tween Morris and Herman, which
helped the condition of the unem-
ployed in Stevens county last spring
before primary election it was
rumored that this county was $500,
900 in debt for road work, which
would bankrupt the county if con-
tinued. This rumor was false, in
fact Stevens county is one of the few
counties in the State of Minnesota
that is not one dollar in debt for
road work done under amendment
No. l. The third largest appropria-
ton awarded any county in the state
was secured for this county. County
bonds were issued at per cent and
as per understanding or agreement,
the State assumed these bonds at that
rate. leaving no deficit on the inter
est rate or otherwise. Therefore
these false reports and malicious &C
cusations against county officials that
rendered valuable service to their
county ought to be resented By the
voters on election day.

Vote for the Hon.
L. E.. SPOONER
Candidate for the
Minnesota Legislature

44Om OGCVCun OOunIy
To the voters of Stevens County,
Minnesota:
We, the undersigned, some
weeks ago, after a great deal of
persuasion secured the consent
of the Hon. L. G.. Spooner to be-
come a candidate for the Min
nesota Legislature from Stevens
County.
In our announcement of his
candidacy we put forth certain
reasons as to why Mr.. Spooner
should be elected. Now that
election day is near at hand we
desire to bring these reasons to
your mind again and invite your
vote. We believe Mr.. Spooner a
proper representative because he
has demonstrated in the past to
an absolute certainty, his fit
ness, his fearlessness and his
ability as law maker.
Stevens County and the State
of Minnesota, at the present
time, are participating in many
good things, the fruit of his en-
ergy and untiring labor. You,
who have lived here, for many
years know. You remember the
two cent fare? the decreased
freight rates? the new States
prison with it's enlarged Irvine
plant and the farm machinery
plant? School for girls at Sank
Centre? the Mothers day law?
and the Agricultural School at
Morris, and many other things
to his credit?
You remember the Agricult-
ural School property belonged to
the Federal Government. That
Morris tribune., 1922-11-03

through Mr.. Spooner's efforts it
was transferred to the State
Government, and again through
his renewed efforts it was made
a State Agricultural School.
You know how the Agricultural
school has boosted this COM
munity in the bringing of new
people and aiding US in a finan-
cial way, not to speak of the fine
training of scores of boys and
girls who might never have had
such an education were it not
for this place near home. We
invite you to look back over Mr..
Spooner's history as citizen of
Morris and Stevens County, and
remember what he has done for
the community. Has he not
meen a foremost citizen and a
credit to our City and our Coun-
ty? "
Summing the whole thing up,
Mr.. Spooner has labored always
for the rights of the common
people, and has never broken
faith with his constituency. On
next Tuesday do not fail to give
him your confidence and your
vote and support. Send the
Hon. L. C. Spooner back to the

TOM REED MEETING
 HELD LAST MONDAY

At the Annual Meeting of the stockholders of the Tom Reed Gold Mining company, held Monday, last, the old board of directors was re-elect- ed with the exception that Charles Mushrush was dropped and Mr. Howard, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was elected to the directorate to fill the vacancy thus created.
 Plans for the coming year were thoroughly discussed and a number of new features recommended.
 In a raise recently driven in the new workings of the Tom Reed Aztec shaft, what gives promise of a large block of high grade commercial ore was encountered. The management is now driving a drift from the 400 level to tap this raise and to furth6n| ascertain the extent and value of tf ore.
 On the Red Cloud claim three more, holes are being started to tap the ledge 150 feet below the 725 foot level.

M. B. DUDLEY OPENS
 OFFICE IN OAThAN

M. B. Dudley has opened offices in Oatman for the transaction of the bus mess of his several corporations in that camp, with A. H. Hawkins in charge. The office is a few doors north of the postoffice and nicely sit uated.
 The Dudley companies are the Oat- man Apex and Oatman Hill Top min ing companies. These companies have important mineralized territory, upon which diamond drilling is to be started immediately, with the Oatman Apex starting shaft work on a we'll miner alized section of it's vein. This prop erty is situated close in to the easter ly extension of the main vein system of the camp, and both properties have the massive rhyoite dike systems that are now receiving the greatest atten- tion from mine managers in that ter ritory.
 It is also understood that negotia- tions are under way for the taking over of one of the larger properties of the camp by the Dudley interests, which would put their promotions in an ideal position. Whether this is &C., .complished or not Mir. Dudley intends to carry on a big development cam paign on the properties now held by his corporations.

SAN FRANCISCO
 RESUMES DRILLING

Cementing of cave-ins on the Frisco hole has been completed and drilling is again under way. Two shifts are drilling. Vein matter was encounter ed from 5O2 to 541 feet. The hole is now down 555 feet. Important devel- opments are still looked for in the first hole. The hole on Frisco will be continued to 700 feet. When this hole is completed new hole will be driven to tap the vein 100 feet deeper than the first one which, having been sent down at an angle, is less than 500 feet below the surface. This should bring the drill into a zone of better values. Past development of the Oatman district shows that ore values increase with depth. The Tom Reed has been proven to a depth Of 14OO feet with values continuously maintained.

FINISHING ROAD
 TO SUMMIT LODE

The completion of the road to the Summit Lode Mine is a matter of a few days only, when. they will be ready for operation. New parts needed for the machinery have been ordered and will be here within the next ten or twelve days.
 The fact that the holdings of the Summit Lode Company are situated on the intrusive rhyolite dike along which the recent strike of the Oatman United, San Francisco and Oatman Combination have been made, will cause local mining men to watch the development of this property with un- usual interest.

DRILLS STARTED
 ON ANALCANATED

The Diamond drill is up and drill ing has started from the 600 level of the Oatman Amalgamated.
 MT. Ritter, we'll known engineer and geologist, who for some years was in charge of the operations of the Moss back, had, prior to his return to Switzerland; advanced the theory that number of the well known vein sys- tems of the Oatman district converged on the Amalgamated property. Those who advecated MT. Ritter's belief wiH follow with great interest, the pro- gress of the diamond drill operations on this property.

0ATMAN GOLD
 SHAFT 275 FEET

Intense interest regarding Oatman Gold M. & M. Co.,, has been aroused in Oatman as the big three-compart- ment shaft approaches the 300-foot level. Oatman Gold lies directly on the extension of the Oatman United vein and some believe that the richest values of the so-called Hammond Vein, will be found on Oatman Gold, the stock of which is held by nearly everyone in Oatman. Prosecuting to the vein will begin at the 3O0-foot level. Oatman Gold stock will soon be called on the Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York exchanges. At the present moment little Oatman Gold stock is to be had. The three compartment shaft is now down 275 feet. The formation has changed con- siderably, the character of the wall rock showing very high mineraliza- Gon.

A. G. Cushman, general manager of the Oatman & Union Pass Mining company, announces that a contract has been let to sink a shaft on the Katherine holdings of this company. This Katherine property is the west erly extension of the Sunbeam lead and Sunbeam group owned by w. J. Loring. The company also owns the Homestake group, which was formerly the property of the Oatman-J umbo Mining & Milling company.

0ATMAN UNITED PUTT|NC IN TRACK
Preparations Going on for
 Starting Blocking of Ore.

Mining men of Oatman greet with pleasure the news that the Oathan United is installing 1900 feet of heavy track running from the station on the 600 level through their north east crosscut to their drift parallel ing the vein from which their dia- mond drillcores showed high grade commercial ore assays. It is esti- mated that the work of laying these rails will be completed in about ten or fifteen days, after which, by means of drifts and crosscuts, the ore body on this level will be blocked. :,
 Both diamond drills have been hoisted to the surface. One will be used in making the air connection be- tween the surface and the 600 level Unavoidable delay caused through the difficulty in dismantling the diamond drill and packing it up the side of the mountain to the base of the Ele- plants Tooth, has prevented work be- ing started on this air hole. The air line from the collar of the shaft to the base of the Elephants Tooth is now in operation and jack-hammers are speeding up the excavation for the foundation of the drill.

UNITED EASTERN
 RUNS CROSSCUT

A cross-cut to the north, 1000 feet long, is now being driven on this prop erty at the tenth level. From this cross-cut the main ledge will be ex- plored by drills to depth of from 2,OOO to 5000 feet. If the United Eastern discovers a second zone of commercial ore at great depth Oat- man stocks will go soaring. And past explorations show that the Oatman lodges continue at depth. United Eastern is adding two agitator tanks to its present equipment, generally considered to be one of the best in the American gold fields. Still higher ore recovery percentages will result from the installation of the new agitators.

ARIZONA MINING
 COMPANY WILL
 DEVELOP PROPERTY

The Arizoro Mining company has taken over from Thomas Morrissey option held by him on the we'll known Gaddis & Perry Group of claims, con- sisting of the Spanish Treasure and Golden Eagle claims, located about three miles westerly from the town of Oatman and adjoining the famous Hardy mine. This property has one of the strongest veins in the district, and with the small amount of develop ment done has shown remarkable values. The vein, which is believed by some leading geologists to be the Goldroad vein, has a length of over two thousand feet and is from 12 to 60 feet in width. Arrangements are being made to diamond drill this very promising property and it is the be- lief of mining men, who are familiar with mining conditions in this district, that the prospects for developing a large ore body are very favorable.
 The Arizoro Mining company also owns four claims near the Black Range and Nellie Mines which they propose developing by diamond drills.
 The officers of the company are J. H. Drake, president, H. L. Simmonds, secretary and treasurer, who with Martin Fessenden and Thomas Mor- rissey, comprise the board of Direc- tors.

SYDNEY LEASE BIN IS. FILLED WITH ORE TO
 BE TAKEN TO MILL

The ore bin on the Stoney Lease is now completely filled with ore from the 25 level stope. Preparatory to the time when the Tom Reed will mill this ore, the management of the lease has undertaken the timbering of the old Ollie-O -Oatman air shaft to the 250 level, and the driving of crosscut 150 feet each way from the 200-foot station.
 The values in the high grade streak on this property continue to hold up with such regularity that there are some who believe that "Stoney'' eventually will be one of the greatest mines in the Oatman district. This company also holds the White Burro claims in the northern part of the Oatman district.

The drill on the Highland Chic. which began work at the end of the 25O0-foot tunnel has now penetrated $40 feet in northerly direction to- ward the Crown. point ledge. It all ready has encountered 50 feet of rhyo- lite and it is expected that it will tap the vein in few days. It is intended to intersect both of the two parallel veins running southwest and south east which were crosscut. during the driving of the tunnel.

TELLURIDE

The Telluride continues to ship daily it's quota of ore to the Tom Reed mill. A diamond drill is now being set up to further prospect the ore re- serves of this property. The drilling will be done from the surface and will therefore, in no way hamper the min ing of the 25 tons daily shipment. Drilling will be started at a point about 2SOO feet from the present shaft.

TWO DRILLS GOING
 ON BLACK RANGE

The first drill hole on Black Range is now down 375 feet. The second hole is down thirty feet. On the first hole ten feet of good looking quartz was encountered at 19O feet. Com mercial ore continued to show up un- til a depth of 2O7 feet was reached. The real ore shoot should be pene- trated not far from the 45O-foot depth. The cores showed a quantity of free gold in ten-foot vein. At 249 feet soft rock of andesitic origin from which good assays were obtained was encountered. Both coarse and fine gold are obtained from surface pan- nlngs and quartz with excellent values has been taken from a 3O-foot tun- nel and winze. A number of Eastern investors have visited this property in the last week.
