fluids that scattered it's munificence broadcast throughout the great grid ironing of vein structures. It is in this area that this property is situate. It is composed of seven full claims, all of them showing potential outcrops. Development has been carried on to some extent on all these crops, but 1t is the theory that development may be best subserved by the operation from the deep shaft, drifts and cross cuts to be carried far afield from the deep levels And in view of what has been opened on the two levels there is substantial reason to believe that a splendid property will be opened in this vein, the present work being the source of further exploration into the bowels of the earth.
 Foster and Davis, the we'll known mining engineers of Kingman, are engaged by the company to make the necessary surveys for patenting the property, and this work will be furthered as fast as possible. The en- tire holdings of the company are to be covered by patent as soon as possible

where ample funds are guaranteed for development work. The complete fi- nancing of the property will soon fol- low. The required capital was secured by MT. Dudley during recent trip to San Francisco, where he also made ar engagements for listing Oatman Apex stock on the San Francisco exchange. On his return journey to Kingman he stopped in Los Angeles and arrang- ed for the listing of Oatman Apex stock on the exchange in that city. Later the stock will be listed on the New York Curb.
 The brokers who will handle the is sue in San Francisco and Los Angeles have influential New York connections with clienteles in all of the Atlantic seaboard states. This assures a com prehensive and active market for the stock, and its wide distribution. It appears certain, therefore, that the Oatman Apex will be one of the best

The Gold Trail mines of the Gold Trail Mining and Reduction company, are situated a short distance north
 of the Gold Road mines, and on the east side of the range, close in under the towering dome ofwha is known locally at Squaw Peak. It was discov- cred by the late L. McKesson, and by him developed to certain extent. The surface ores showed stringers of exceptionally rich material, and while some effort was made to pick up a larger ore body, the small rich vein- lets was the main attraction, until the present operating company took over

ton. At another point this acreage the drills have penetrated breadth of 36 feet of ore that gives the re- markable assay return of $85.O0 gold a ton. These splendid values are the incentive for the extensive campaign of diamond drilling which has been, or is about to be inauguarated at other properties along the strike of what may in all justice be termed the Oat- man United ore channel.
 So far as geologic conditions are concerned the prospects for the dis covery of pay are as favorable at the Oatman Apex estate as elsewhere a. long the strike of the Oatman United ore channel. It was for this reason that M. B. Dudley, who for a number of years has been prominently identi-

 It is not only the Gold Trail that is of importance along the great rhyolitic dikes of the district, but every vein that comes in contract with the nm eralizing source receives this potential benefit. Where ever you go in that great territory, gridironed with veins rich in gold and silver, person can not but be impressed with the man, ner in which the ores were impregnat- ed, and the wide diversification of the

---------<sss---- COOPERATIVE POWDER MAKING

The development of powder, especi- ally those manufactured from nitrates has grown so enormous that should the supply be suddenly cut off it would disorganize nearly every industry. The coal mines now depend entirely on nitro-powders, one company having furnished various corporations with 38,OOO,OOO pounds during the year 1921. Possibly 200,00O,0O0 pounds would cover the needs of coal mining alone, while metal mines would also

REVISION OF TARIFF LAWS
 NEEDED

Revision of the tariff has been the cause of much concern to mining men, because many of the metals have low CT production costs in foreign coun- tries than in the United States, be- cause of the lower wage and other conditions surrounding the production of metals. China is able to send to the United States enormous tonnages of tungsten at price so low that it would be impossible to compete with it, while the same thing is true of

ected for the work lends itself we'll for the prospecting of these veins, while the assay returns at or near the surface convince the management that development at depth will result in the opening of large deposits of pay quartz. The Dudley engineers are highly gratified with the mineral showing, and are enthusiastic over the future of the property as an ore pro ducer.
 Assurances have been given that a permit for the sale of Oatman Apex shares will be granted by the Califor- mia Corporation Commission; and it is equally certain that like permit will be granted by the Arizona Cor poration Commission. The financing of the property has reached the stage
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-03-17

the property. Since that time the shaft has been sunk to the 500 level and drifts are being carried into the ore bodies. On the 275 level a cross cut showed up 30 feet of ore, six feet of which carried commercial values. On the 800 level the ore body was cut into about five feet and the drift is now being run on the shoot. The ore on this level is of high value, and so important is the shoot opening up that enough mill ore may be opened to justify the management in the install lation of a mill. On the 275 level the crosscut entered the rhyolite, which was found to be ore bearing, and as this big plug of rhyolitic material ex- tends into the 500 level it is quite pro- bable that milling values will be found | in it.
 The Mine is equipped with 30- horse power hoist, 2-drill compressor and other necessary machinery. Four houses comprise the camp, these being used for bunkhouse, office, and board ing house. A supply of water for all camp purposes has been developed, a gas pump forcing the water from the well to the camp.
 The company is incorporated for 100000 one dollar shares. D. A.. McMillan, who is in charge of develop ments, is the president of the com pany, Dr. l.. G. Visscher, vice presi- dent; Hugo K. Visscher, secretary; and w. J. Van Valkenburg, treasurer. The company was financed in Los Angeles, the immediate officials and friends taking the issues as they were put out, keeping the company as a close corporation, ,fas it were. 1t is the ready financing of the company that has enabled the work to be carried on so systematically.
 The situation of the camp is most picturesque, being high up under the heavy bluffs of the main range, und- CT the basalt escavpment but in the same andesite that is found in the Oat- man section, and with the enriching influence of the rhyilitic plugs that are found along the ore bearing strata of the whole district. In the Gold Trail vein, the rhyolitic wall is not only ore bearing, but it is the water bearer, and while some holes were sent into this big dike it was found necessary to plug them it was vent flooding. Keeping away from the dike it is possible to handle all
 the water that the shaft makes witE bailer. It is the impression that when the time comes to cut through this great dike water for all purposes will be found, and that it is possible
 that body of mill ore will also be opened, as was recently done in thE Oatman United. Water will be o1 great value to the mine when it i: sufficiently opened on the 800 or deep CT level, as a mill will then become { . necessity.

is expected to prove as beneficial to the east end of the Oatman district as has the work done on the Oatman United to the area in the vicinity of the town of Oatman.
 In the Oatman workings the drills have proved the pay quality of the ore at a depth in excess of 900 feet, and as they penetrate deeper and deeper into the ore, the ores continue to show pay values. At one point the atone time despised rhyolite has been pene- trated by the drills at the Oatman United for breadth of 70 feet with the core giving an average assay for the entire distance of $12OO gold a

cated in relation to the immense rhy- olitic-quartz deposits which have been opened so satisfactorily in the Oat- man United and United American workings. It adjoins the Argo prop erty on the north, and is adjacent on the north to the Oatman Combination. Both of these properties are being de- veloped by the use of diamond drills.
 Preparatory to the start of the dia- mond drill campaign the Oatman Apex has been re-surveyed, and site selec- ted for setting up the drills. In mak- ryinging the survey number of veins that carry encouraging gold values were found and tested. The site sel-

ures. It has a game an fish protee-
tive association which believes that
game fish should not be taken from
the lakes and streams for the purpose
Of sale, nor should they be taken by
means of seines, nets. traps, dynamite
or other unsportmanlike methods: it
believes the hunting season should
be shortened and game refugees estab-

should be statewide; that only state
license for hunting should be requir-
ed; that all license f9orey should con-
stitute & fund to .ser game and
