BLACK RANGE MINE
 IS NOW DRILLING

Drilling on the Black Range is get
 ting under way. The drill is being
 sent down on an angle calculated to have it penetrate at depth of around
 $50 feet what is known as the "blos-
 som" showing, large outcrop of a
 shoot of milling ore, with streaks of high grade, in the massive vein about the center of the property. The Black Range is great favorite among the people of Oatman and operations there will be watched with known interest.
 A full face of milling ore, in which assays as high as $60 ton have been obtained, is being followed by the east drift on the 250-foot level of the Gold Dust property. On the 500-foot level drifting east continues to pick up the downward extension of the same ore body. The diamond drill being sent opt horizontally from the shaft sta tion on the 500-foot level recently opened up a water course, from which there is heavy flow. This is taken to indicate the proximity of a vein structure. The drill hole now mea- sures about 200 feet in length.
 It is stated that as soon as necessary arrangements are completed the Nellie Mining Company will diamond drill it's property close to the boundary line of the Black Range Mining Company, ad- joining on the south. This location is considered the most favorable point on the property for the opening up of a large ore deposit in the least pos sible time. Only a short distance north of the boundary line deferred to these separate veins, at a point 23 feet from the Black Range line, shows a width of six feet and gives assays around $6 per ton. The other two veins remain to be explored.
 The Big Jim Consolidated has struck a zone of broken formations in its drilling operations at a depth of about 35O feet, and cementing has be- come necessary. It is the expectation that the broken up area will soon be passed by the drill, and work again speeded up. Conditions recently re- vealed by the drill indicate that it should enter the vein at point closer to the surface than originally calcu- lated.

BETTER FREIGHT
 RATES EXPECTED

Mohave County producers are inter, ested in freight rates probably more than in any other subject at this time Finding ore bodies is one thing and marketing the products of these ore bodies is another and conditions of the past three or four years have not been encouraging to production.
 But now the light is beginning to shine little in that respect and it is thought that before long a prewar rate will be in effect from here to the Humboldt smelter which it is ex- pected will start up within a few weeks. The Humboldt property will be bought in at sale on April 10th and soon after that it is thought it will be underway. Simultaneously eff fort is being made for the prewar rate mentioned ,and this with shorter haul than IS now necessary.
 Also comes the news this week that a commodity rate will be established between here and Mohave where a new smelter will be erected in the near future to handle ores and concentrates from Arizona and California mines. We received this news from the San Francisco Bulletin and have not check ed up on its authenticity, but believe it to be true.
 Mohave County is equally close to these two locations and with reduced rates which now seem certain and re- duced haulage, we are to use time worn expression Sitting pretty"
 Of interest also is the putting into effect recently the new rate on less than carload lots of ores or co,.cen- trates. Smaller quantities may now be shipped for the carload rate plus ten per cent. |.
 The Miner will give this question all the space it deserve sand will later in form it's readers on any definite action that will bring about cheaper trans portation of ores and concentrates.

OF INTEREST TO
 L0CATORS OF CLAIMS IN YEAR OF 1921

The following letter was received this week by Ed Shaw from C. N. Miller:
 March 25th, 1922. "Dear MT. Shaw:
 I took the matter of performing as- sessment work on mining claims locat- ed in 1921 between January and July 1st, up with MT. Haley and MT. M. A. Newman of the State Bureau of Min es, and in my question as for infor- nation regarding the necessity for performing work on or before July 1st this year, received the following:
 Locators of mining claims are not required to do assessment work upon their property for the year. in which their claim was located. Therefore, if "B" located claim during the year 1921 prior to July 1st, his assessment period would commence July 1st, 1922 and continue up to and including July 1st, 1923.
 (Signed) Fletcher Hamilton
 As thissi matter of important in terest to many of the boys around Kingman, it would be well to post this on the board"
 This is a very important question with many prospectors of this county and it can be taken for what it is worth. It is not stated from whom the Bureau of Mines gets its authori- ,ty. The final judgment in this mat ter it seems should be the U. s. Land Office and the Miner will endeavor to obtain a statement from them in order that there can be no mistake.
 In the meantime we can thank MT. Miller for his thoughtfulness in giv- ing us the opinion of the Bureau of Mines.

MIDNIGHT IN JOY-
 LAND" HERE SAT.

Midnight in Joyland, given by Oat- man Lodge of Moose, under direction of Miss Edith Greaves, of Chicago, at Oatman Theatre, Thursday and Friday evenings of last week, more than justified the name. It was a yer itable "Joyland" for those who were fortunate enough to witness the per formance.
 Miss Greaves, who has been direct ing similar performances all over the country ,and who came to Oatman ex- celently endorsed, and justly so, is greatly pleased with the success of this show. In two weeks she mould ed the local talent of Oatman into veteran performers, and it is generally conceded that none of the past credi- table performances given by the Oat- man Moose Lodge excelled Midnight in Joyland.
 The setting of the stage to repre- sent a midnight caberet scene in the Wintergarden Restaurant, with the us- ual ensemble of diners in evening dress, efficiently served by a coterie of colored walters under the able di- rection of Head Waiter "Dapper Dan", Dr. Tolleson.
 The performance consisted of a number of vaudeville specialties and chorus girl numbers, all of which were roundly enlored by the audience; there were sixty laughs to the hour during the entire evening, each of the some fifty odd participants, creditably fill ing the part assigned.
 The musical direction was unusually good, and the pony and chorus girls excellent. The dance following the show Friday evening was the most largely attended in the history of the theatre.
 Upon urgent demands from both Kingman and Needles, Miss Greaves has consented to and will repeat the performance at Needles Thursday evening, March 30th and at Kingman Saturday evening, April 1st. Same popular prices will be charged.

OATMAN GOLD
 SHAFT IN SULPH|DE

Work of driving the big three coin- part1nent shaft of the Oatman Gold is going ahead with increased rapidity owing to the adding of another shift. They were working two shifts and making about feet a day and now with three shifts they make daily footage of at least 8 feet.
 The Oatman Gold shaft is approach ing the 100 foot mark and late re- port from the mine is that they are getting into suphides. Judging from this the Oatman Gold shaft may get into an ore body sooner than expect ed. In fact they may hit it almost any time now rather than at a depth of beyond 200 feet which they at first expected.
 The work of the Oatman Gold is watched with much interest owing to the bearing discoveries there will have on other properties in that district.

AMERICAN AND
 TELLURIDE HEADS
 $20 AND .$25

Milling operations of the ores from the United American and the Tellu- ride are going ahead in a very satis- factory manner, each putting through the Tom Reed mill 25 tons daily
 The heads of the American ore are averaging about $2O though they vary little. It is the intention of the company to keep the heads as near the $2O mark as possible and when the cleanup is made tomorrow the man. ,agement will know definitely just what has been put through. The cost of tramming, hoisting and milling the ore is $5 and the cost of mining will be determined by the actual expense af- ter taking into consideration the amount of reserve ore broken down. The Telluride heads are running higher than was expected and will go above $25.
 The American has been milling since the Fist and the Telluride since the 23rd. They will clean up on the 1st and the 18th of each month.

The Oatman Combination let con- tract for diamond drilling Tuesday. MT. Walter Quinn is the contractor and fast progress may be expected in this first leg of the Combinations ex- tensive drilling program.
 Gold Ore to Start Sinking at Once The work of retimbering the Gold Ore shaft has been completed and sinking will commence not later than April End. Three shifts will push the work in the shaft and the program of sinking from the 700 to the 800 level and cross cutting to the vein from 800 level should be accomplished in record time.
 Gold Cliff looks encouraging
 A promising showing of Calcite and Quartz in the bottom of the Gold Cliff shaft is causing much favorable comment. Actual sinking has been suspended for day or two while the shaft is being timbered.
 Three Shifts Rushing Black Range
 Drilling
 Diamond Drilling on the Black Range is being pushed, three shifts are rushing the first hole toward it's objective. This first hole is a 65 de- gree angle hole designed to cut the vein between and shafts. Good val us were encountered in both these shafts and this initial hole should show encourageing results.
 San Francisco Hcle Down 320 Feet Number one drill hole on the San Francisco has reached a dept hof 320 feet and progress is averaging 20 feet a day.

GROVER C. SHELTON MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
 IN GOLD ORE SHAFT

Grover c. Skelton was killed last Saturday night from a fall in the Gold Ore shaft.
 MT. Skelton was timbering the shaft at the time and inasmuch as he was alone when he met his death theories differ as to just how the accident oc- cured but it is generally believed that he lost his balance and fell while reaching for tool. His lifeless body was found on a bulkhead about 40 feet below the point where he had been working.
 A sad sidelight on the tragedy was the arrival of his little mother the following morning, not knowing of the accident. She had come here from the coast to keep house for her son and only the day before Skelton was in highspirits oyer the fact that his mother was coming. She arrived here on the early morning train, and no one meeting her she wandered around the streets until met by Anson Smith. MT. Smith could not tell her and took her to Mrs. Devine. The little woman was crushed with the sad tidings, as this was the second son that had met his death recently.
 The body was embalmed by c. R, Van Marter and shipped to Phoenix for burial.

DIAMOND DRILL
 IS STARTING ON
 THE COMBINATION

Good news comes to us from Oat- man to the effect that diamond drill ing is starting on the Oatman Com bination, the work having been con- tracted by Quinn.
 The company has been at work for sometime getting the workings of the mine ready for the driller. The drills will be started in from the bottom of the 52O foot shaft and will hit the ore body at a depth of about 800. It is estimated that in less than three weeks they will be into. the ore, which in the light of what has been done on the Oatman United, it is thought will carry very satisfactory values.

WILL RUN DEEP TUN-
 MEL ON ARMOUR GROUP

After an absence of nearly six years Gus Ingerson returned to Kingman this week to start work on the Ar mour Group in the Cerbats.
 The work is being financed by a crowd of Denver silver operators, it is understood, and the property will have campaign of intelligent devel- opment.
 A deep tunnel will be run from a claim adjoining the Armour group to an approximate length of 2200 feet which will give backs of about HOO feet and will prove the lower regions of that section of the Cerbats. This work will be interesting to the ad jacent properties as we'll as the Ar mour group itself, including the Rico and the c. O. D.
 When the company is ready for it a 20 ton experimental mill will be erected.
