| level considerable diamond drilling has been carried on, but to what purpose we are unable at the present time to say. Developments are still being carried on with diamond drills, and it is probable that new territory will be invaded and potential ore bodies pick ed up.
 After the development of the vein in the Red Cloud shaft of the Tom Reed the United Eastern company be- gan the sinking of it's No. 3 shaft, which has been carried to depth of $40 feet. Drifts have been carried out from this level and diamond drill stations established for the purpose of carrying on research campaign into the big structure. No report has been given out covering this explora- tion, but there is strong probability that something good will materialize there.
 The Big Jim, which created wide spread interest druing the suit Of the Tom Reed for it's possession, was talk en over by the United Eastern few years ago and is now sending ore over tramway to the big mill. This tram is handling about 100 tons of this ore and it is understood that there is in sight enough mill grade reserves for the next 20 months, without taking in to consideration the developments that are now being carried on. The shaft of the Big Jim, which stood at depth of 600 feet when taken over from the former owners, is now being sunk to still greater depth and the lower hor- izon explored. This vein is large, and like the parent property, is an offshoot of the Tom Reed While the Tom Reed has a greater estate than the Eastern the latter company has a se- quence of veins that further develop ment is rather sure to prove more po- tential for ore production than any thing in the district. Everywhere that the veins of this company have been entered great width has beeen cut in vein material, much of which carry important values.
 The operation of this great property has been in the hands of real mining men, men who have made success in the game, and are looking for produc- tion above every consideration. The men who came into the property after the first assault was made in the big vein were Frank A. Keith, Seeley w.

take well-earned rest in luxury and ease.
 The incorporation of the United Eastern Mining company, in 1913 by George Long, Jack McIver and Bisbee associates, marked new era in the mining life of Oatman. The property that the corporation took over had long been looked upon by the miners of the camp with envy, although having no potential outcrop of ore had ever been found in the ground. It stood in the pathway of the general strike of the Tom Reed lode, and those who were conversant with the develop ment of the pioneer property of the camp believed that development would bring to light a real property, had a drift been carried through the header encountered in the drift on the 500 of the Reed.
 Bisbee, Oatman and Kingman peo- pie furnished the first finances of the company and the work of sinking No. 1 shaft was undertaken, Long and McIver taking shifts in the mine with the other miners. At a depth of 40 feet, which had been sunk with wind lass, operations were temporarily sus- pended pending the installation of a gasoline hoist and suitable head frame. This was completed in Octob- CT of 1914 and the work of sinking to the 200 level was carried on with con- siderable rapidity. At that level a crosscut disclosed small vein carry ing low values in gold and the shaft was continued to the 300, where the crosscut entered the vein which still showed small, but the values had in creased considerably, assays running as high as $193. The shaft was then continued to the 465 level, where the vein was cut and found to be 25 feet wide and to carry average values of $2293. The vein was principally cal citic, with bands of quartz, similar to the high class ores of the Gold Road This shaft was continued to a depth of about HOO feet and the whole min eralized territory for length of $50 feet developed by drifts, raises and winZes and crosscuts. The property showed wonderful potentialities in these workings, and milling plant was considered necessity, this plant being finally put in commission on the 1st of January, 1917. The initial unit

 One of the unfamiliar gases to occur in gold mines is what is known to the initiated as methane, or fire damp. This gas is common to coal mines, but uncommon to the metal mines. In the opening of old gold mines in Califor- mia, the miner is almost sure to en- counter this class of gas, and it is a most dangerous substance. The gas is created by the decomposition of tim bers that have lain under water for many years. the vegetable matter giv- ing off feted material and in rather profuse quantities. Methane is far re moved from the ordinary gas that is found in the metal mines, which is principally caused by foul air or an ac- emulation of powder gas and other heavier-thanair combinations, which are not inflamable, The old mines of Mexico, although carrying little tim Der, have been found to be prolific of methane gas, which was attributed to sulphuric and other conditions sur the properties
