MANY PATENTS HOMESTEADERS
 LOCAL FOREST

Four hundred twenty five applica- tions for homesteads have been acted upon by the officers of the Chugach National Forest since the setting aside of that forest. Under the Act of June II, 1906, known as the Forest Home stead Act, areas within the national forests which are more valuable for agricultural than for other purposes may be homesteaded. Examination Of areas applied for is made by the local forest officers, and if the area is class flied as agricultural land it is listed with the Department of the Interior and is thrown open to settlement.
 It often happens that after applica- tion is made, and the area opened to settlement, the applicant abandons his plans and the land remains unoccu- pied At the close of the year 1922 there were about 50 small areas with in the Chugach National Forest which had been classified as agricultural and thrown open to entry on which no filing has been recorded. These areas range from 20 to 160 acres, the total acreage of such unentered land being in excess of 5000 acres. Most of these areas lie in the vicinity of Kenai Lake and Cook Inlet, but there are a few also in the Prince William Sound district.
 Upon the listing of homestead lands within the national forests, the or iginal applicant is given 60-day pre- ference right for filing. If he does not exercise this right within the time specified, the land is subject to entry by any qualified entryman. Examin- ations and surveys are made without cost to the applicant.
 It is the policy of the Forest Ser vice to get the agricultural lands with in the national forests settled up as rapidly as possible. To this end the service is anxious to lend all possible assistance to homeseekers. Maps ana descriptions of listed areas are on file in the Forest Supervisors office at Cordova, and in the Rangers or flee at Anchorage, where they will gladly be exhibited to interested parties.

STARTS WORK ON
 HENRY FORD GROUP

Harry LeClair yesterday sent a truck load of supplies to the Henry Ford group of mines, at Silver Creek, the property owned by the Katherine Big Four Mines company. w. w. Wishon, consulting engineer for this company, is on the coast consulting with the men who are backing the ac- tivities of the corporation, and sent word to MT. LeClair to at once pro- ceed with the development. The com pany is to at once equip the mines with a big plant of machinery, con sisting of hoist, compressor, machine drills and pumps and the work of sinking is to be carried to depth of 500 feet. Tha shaft is expected to reach the hanging wall of the vein at a depth of 100 feet and will reach the footwall at about 500 level. Mining men who have looked this property over believe it to be one of the best in the field and would like to see the proposed work completed.

JAMES MOSS VISITS.
 OAThAA EASTERN

James J. Moss, who has been at Oatman the past week looking over the property of the Oatman Eastern Mining company, returned to his home in California Tuesday evening last. During his stay here he had a survey of his ground made and had the kinks strengthened out. The prop erty of this company is we'll situated, lying to the east of the United Amer ican and the Argo, and also adjoining the Sunnyside and the Combination! To the south is the territory embraced in the estates of the Highland Chief and Black Range. The development that is now being carried on in these properties is sure to be reflected in the Oatman Eastern. Mir. Moss ex- poets to have treasury financed and work under way early in the fall.

TOM REED ID GUT
 TELLURIDE VEIN

At the Tom Reed it is reported that preparations are being made to cut the Telluride vein. Drilling continues on the Red Cloud. Timbers are being set for the installation of a custom sampler at the mill. Oatman United and Tom Reed have entered into an agreement whereby both will use this sampler. The sampler will enable many properties having low grade ore to have it handled with a profitable return. Mining properties which have been idle for years will greatly bene- fit from the installation of the samp- Ter. It is estimated that the sampler will be ready to receive ore within two months. A shaft has been sunk on the Banner Lease on Tom Reed ground about 200 feet northwest of the Stoney Lease as a result of ar engagements with the lesees by the Tom Reed.

BLACK RANGE CUTS REMARKABLE
 ORE BODY WITH DIAMOND DRILL
New Hole Started To Catch Vein At Point 600 Feet
 From Top-Shaft To Be Sunk and Ore Opened Up

One of the most important strikes in the Oatman district-was made in the two holes drilled to depths of ap- proxmately 215 feet on the Black Range property, assay returns from the cores yielding the following val ues: Hole No. 2, from 205 feet to 216 feet gave average $38.0S; No. 1, $42.5O. This is splendid average for Il feet of ore and gives the mine a standing second to none in the dis trict, especially when taken in con nection with the great size of the vein, which is one of the largest in the Oat- man field.
 Number three hole is to be started at once and will cut the vein at a depth of 600 feet on the incline, the hole to be driven from the hanging wall side of the vein and to be driven 490 feet. This hole will be directly below the present holes. The com pany is negotiating with the Nellie for the privilege of entering the Nellie shaft at the 500 and driving across the country into the Black Range vein. From this vantage point the drill could be carried \to a depth of 1000 feet readily and the drilling could be radiated out over a big sector of the vein. With the drill searching out the ore bearing part of the vein the development of the property by shaft and drift would be matter of work, the engineering feature having been mapped.
 The Black Range property has one of the best outcrops in the south part of the district, and throughout this outcrop are many shoots of wonder ful ore. The superficial work on the vein has disclosed important possibili- ties for ore development, and for a considerable length along the vein. Near the shaft an outcrop disclosed specimen gold that had no, rival in the big gold camp, and should these shoots be penetrated at depth and show the same character and value of ore the mine would be a great pro. ducer. It is we'll situated, has water sufficient for milling purposes and il surely has the ore.
 The property is now in the hands of men who know how to make a mine and they have the funds to go with It will be interesting to note what this mine will bring forth within the next few months and we are rather anxious to see the big development campaign carried through. We have the utmost confidence in the property.

GOLD CLIFF CENTRAL

George HcDevitt, who returned yes terday from the coast, reports that ha has been looking after the ffnanc- ing of the Gold Cliff Central property and is assured of funds sufficient to carry on the campaign of development that the directors have mapped out. The property lies to the south and west of the main Tom Reed property and in a most inviting part of the field. A campaign of development is to be put on to develop the veins that show imposing outcrops through the estate, and it is the impression of min ing men who know the district well that this property has bright future before it.

OATNAN GOLD TO
 CR0SSCUT AT $50

The shaft on the Oatman Gold has reached depth of approximately $50 feet and as soon as stump has been carried down 10 feet station will be cut and the work of driving into the vein that strikes through Oatman United ground into the Oatman Gold territory will be cut. Lateral work will also be carried out into the terri tory to the east and south, where there are known ore bodies showing in superficial surface work. At these points excellent ore was found, values running to $6O per ton in gold.
 The development of the Oatman Gold on the west end of it's estate has long been advocated by the mining editor and we believe that something good will be picked up in the work now in progress. Two important veins show on the surface close in to the present work and these veins ought to make good with depth.
 Yesterday the shares of the Oatman Gold were called on the Los Angeles exchange, bid 25 cents, asked 30 cents. The shares were originally put on the market at 25 cents and large blocks were purchased by Kingman inves- tors. With the development of the mine close in to the estates of the Big Jim and the Oatman United the shares should have an enviable po- sition on the stock markets of the coast. Charles Pugh has been on the coast arranging for the listing of the shares on the exchanges, and is ex- pected home shortly. MT. Hurley, who is largely interested in Oatman Gold, was also at the coast looking after the company affairs.
 E. w. Brooks, who has made more examinations of Oatman mining prop critics than any other of the many engineers in the district, has been en- gagged as consulting engineer for the Oatman Gold and will map out the future development of the property.

s,." s,", OATMA AN
MEALS M. & M. CO.
 HAVE STOCK PERMIT

Fred Swensen, of the Meals Min ing & Milling company, is on the coast arranging for the financing of the company treasury. The company has secured permit to sell 250,000 at 10 cents per share and when this stock is sold the company will at once equip the mines and start campaign of diamond drill development as well as continuing the development through the further sinking of the shaft and lateral work. Drilling from the bot tom of the 40 foot shaft would enable the company to carry it's work into new territory with small outlay of money. The vein system through the Meals property is important, the out crops being large and carrying values over many hundred feet in length. A crosscut will be run from the bot tom of the shaft to the vein 35 or 40 feet away before the diamond drill campaign starts.
 w. H. Meals, who discovered this great property, was one of the best judges of ore deposition in the coun- try and held onto it with a death grip, dying in it's ownership. He was work ing on it when death overlook him, and had mapped out a campaign of development that he believed would put the property in the producing class. His successors are now at tempting to carry out the development that the good old fellow longed to accomplish.

Where Millions Will Yet Be Produced
0ATMAN UNITED PREPARING
 SHIPMENTS FOR TOM REED MILL
Drifts and Crosscuts Are Being Carried Out While Ore
 For Shipment To Mill As Soon As Sampler Is Installed

Extensive development work is now being done on the Oatman United preparatory to getting ore ready for shipment to the Tom Reed mill, by the time the new sampler is installed. They are crosscutting, drifting and raising on the 600 level blocking out great quantities of ore.
 Instead of drilling their air hole from the surface to the 900 level with an ordinary 1 h in. drill, they have changed their plan of operations and are now down Is feet on inch air hole from the surface and will con- tinue to the 900 level, as originally intended. They are putting in four inch casing as they sink, and will in stall a blower on the surface carry ing air down to the 900 level. This will save considerable time as they originally intended putting down an ordinary drill hole then roaming it out to fit the four inch casing for the air.
 It is planned to ship 50 tons daily to the Tom Reed. Upraising, drift ing and sampling of ore about 400 feet east of shaft is reported under way. Laying of 180 feet of track has been completed. Installation of electrical equipment and short tram way from the shaft to the Tom Reed mill is contemplated. Work has been started on the 900 foot airhole. A change room with lockers and show CTS for 50 men has been installed in addition to a stock roon& assay office and new machinery. About 20 men are now at work. This force will be doubled soCn.

OATMAN GOLD SHAFT
 DOWN 345 FEET

At the Oatman Gold the three-com- partment shaft is down 345 feet. This week work will be commenced on the running of drifts from the $50 foot ito tap the vein. The ledge lies at about 85 degrees. Further sinking of the shaft to the 500-foot level will be resumed at once. At 800 feet fur ther drifting will be done. It is be- lieved that the ledge lies less than 100 feet from the $50 foot station. The crosscut will enter both the vein and the mineralized .rhyolite on the strike of the Oatman United.
