over or establish great warehouses
and storage plants. When the pro-

he brings it to the agent at the govern

value Of the deposit. as computed on
the 25-year average basis. in cash.
The government then stores the pro-

When a dealer wants wheat, coal,

buys the producers certificate on the
market: he presents it at warehouse,

advanced, and takes the product away.
The government-fixed average price

it all? Go and find him, and you will
have once more before you the For

to support. Nature has done a great
deal for him in giving him fertile soil
and an excellent climate, and he won
ders why it is that, after all, his scale
of comfort is SO moderate. He has to
get out of the soil enough to pay all
his taxes and that means the cost of
all the jobs and the fund for all the

his vote, supporting the church and the

Morality is not matter of the par

in, the world where you may be living
On the contrary, it is question Of in

tive life, you are neither harming YOUR
self nor any one else, but instead are
benefiting yourself and others, that is
what constitutes moral living.

THE MANAGEMENT OF THE UNITED WESTERN
 EXPECTS TO DRILL THROUGH EASTERN VEIN

Mining men are manifesting great interest in the diamond drilling cam gaign being planned for testing at depth the ore bodies on the estate of the United Western Mines company at Oatman. The acreage adjoins the bonanza United Eastern mine which for the last five years has paid divi- dends averaging 6S cents per share per year, and is believed to carry the continuation of the valuable vein sys- tenn from which the United Eastern has drawn it's dividends.
 In 1915 the United Western estate was very superficially prospected at a depth of 800 feet. Crosscuts and drifts run from the shaft at that level resulted in the discovery and testing of an ore of promise which had a width of 30 feet. The gold values, however, were widely disseminated
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-03-17

forms the ore on the Comet claim and is known as the Comet vein.
 The surface values here are charac- teristic of the district, being below a commercial grade, but having a range from one dollar to three, and in one instance of four dollars per ton over wide portions of the vein. No general sampling was attempted of these surface outcrops as their di- rect relationship to the secondary en- richments below is nil; their value be- ing useful only in showing that min eralization is present in the locality.
 The general formation forming the walls and surrounding rocks of the immediate vicinity of the Meals pro- perty consists primarily of andesite and intrusives in the form of dikes of vogesite, possibly rhyolite and a coarsely crystalline pegmatic rock
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-03-17

and no pay ore in appreclable tonnage was developed. The company's engin- eers then decided that greater depth was necessary in order to open the vein where values were concentrated and pay quartz in large tonnage could be developed. About that time invest ment interest was diverted from gold mining to copper mining with the re- suit that the United Western manage ment found itself unable to secure further development funds at the most interesting and crucial period in the property's career. The money on hand was not sufficient to carry on the work and the property was closed.
 A re-financing of the United West ern is under way in San Francisco, and is to be followed by the testing of the ore bodies at great depth by the use of diamond drills. The drills will be set up on the 800 foot level in the United Western shaft and holes will be run fan-like through the acreage in search of pay deposits. Mining engineers who are familiar with the ore conditions on the United Eastern and Tom Reed properties, adjoining the United Western, are of the opinion , that the results of this work will be favorable, and demonstrate the United Western property to have great po- tentialities as a producing mine.
 Nearby the east endline of the Unit ed Western estate the United Eastern management is diamond drilling this vein. Number United Eastern shaft, where this work is under way, is not far distant from the east boundary of the United Western, and it is of ficially reported that the drills are nearing the Westerns line. The work with the drills in the Red Cloud shaft of the Tom Reed company has not reached stage where any deposits of value have been encountered. This is due, however, to the fact that the work has been under way for less than a month.
 The United Eastern Mines company was the first promotion at Oatman to be generally called to the attention of the investing public. It was listed on the San Francisco Stock Exchange in the fall of 1915, where it served to introduce large number of Oatman issues to the public. The stock met with ready sale at 25 cents per share and reached high of 42 cents share upon the issuance of report made on the property by Dr. Walter Harvey Weed, a geologist of international re-
 pute. The Weed report stated unequi-

FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1922.

That the formation is identical with that of the localities which have prov en ore bodies at depth;
 That the property is in a locality known to be extensively mineralized.
 Therefore it is reasonable to sup pose that conditions being equal on the surface, like conditions may be ex- pected at depth. You, therefore, have a very meritorious property which has surface showing second to none in the district, and extensive explor- ation is advisable.
 The company is preparing for campaign of diamond drilling and de- velopment that will soon put the pro- perty in line for large production. It is one of the real properties of the district.

The country in and around the Moss has always been looked upon as ter ritory rich in mineral possibilities, be- cause a large area of that territory has been denuded of it's over-burden, leaving the veins standing in the graniteS or in contacts with the ande- sites and rhyolites. The Moss itself is in serpentine and shows one of the large veins of the country. This property was located by w. M. Meals, one of the old timers of Mohave coun- ty. He combed the veins over and eventually found certain spots there on which he believed would become large ore bearing zones under proper development. The Meals was one of the properties of the San Francisco mining district that was especially mentioned in Bulletin 397 by F. c. Schrader, who made through study of the district for the Geological Sur vey some years ago. MT. Schrader believed the property to have great potentialities. Before realizing his life's ambition in the development of this property MT. Meals passed away on the road to the mine, having spent his last days in carrying on his cam paign of development.

vocally that the continuation of the rich United Eastern vein was through the United Western property.
 This report strengthened the faith of the public in the future of United Western and followed its publication 100000 shares of United Western were purchased by the people of Oatman, Kingman and other Mohave County points. All of this stock was sold at 25 cents share. It was closely held by the purchasers throughout the per iod when the issue was advancing rapidly in price on the San Francisco Stock Exchange, as the linen at the mine" had confidence in the Westerns re-yielding future. They yet retain this confidence, as is evidenced by their purchase of United Western shares, now selling at advancing prices on the Los Angeles and San Francisco
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-03-17

Stock exchanges. Very little of the stock purchased locally in 1915 is be- ing offered at present and this fact speaks well in itself for the success of the plans now being made to re-fi- nance the company.
 The United Western shaft is equip ped with powerful plant of machin- cry and is we'll timbered from top to bottom. Power for the diamond drills will be generated by the aid of the big compressor which is a unit of this plant; and the entire plant will be available for immediate use just as soon as the diamond drills have located pay ore bodies at depth in the exten- sion of the main ore channel at Oat- man, which has proved SC valuable where developed in the Tom Reed and United Eastern mines.

which is found in both the form of dikes and flows.
 am of the opinion, however, that to a great extent the difference in texture and composition of these rocks is due to metamorphism.
 It is evident that your property is most favorably located in regard to the regional north and south fracture zone which has played such an inn portant part in the formation of ore bodies of economically valuable ore.
 That very extensive system of sympathetic fracturing has developed in the immediate vicinity of and upon your property;
 That extensive alteration and re- placement of the brecciated material in these fractures has formed large bodies of quartz and calcite carrying values in gold;

probably due to lowering of the level of the ground waters, or possibly the thorough sealing of the openings near the surface against circulation.
 These original fractures are closely related and form definite system. The main members of which are the regional north and south fractures having a general direction of north 20 degrees west in conjunction with a series of almost equally important ones having a general direction of north 65 degrees west and connecting one regional north and south member with another These easterly and westerly fractures seldom cross the main north and south members, but cut the less important local parallels to them A common seat for ore de- position is at the intersection or union of two or more fractures composing the system.
 A less frequent fracture but one of great importance locally as the seat of ore deposition has direction of north 45 degrees west.
 There is also corresponding system of less magnitude which bears east of north with the same various degrees of angle.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-03-17

The importance of the north and south fracture zones can not be over estimated in connection with the formation of ore bodies of the district, for it is at or near the union of these fractures with other members of the system that the present known ore bodies have been discovered. The proven ore bodies of the district (Tom Reed, United Eastern, Big Jim, Gold Roads, Ruth and Moss mines) have been discovered close to these north 20 degrees west regional faults and have been formed through their agency.
 In the Moss and Ruth properties, both of which have produced commerc- ial ore in the past and are only await ing further development to again be- come active producers, a typical ex- ample of ore deposition in the Oatman district is found.
 A great regional north 25 degrees west fracture zone crosses both prop Cl GlCS dIIl SOlllllluCo SOulll uIlIll CONcI ed by the later rhyolite flows near Silver Creek wash, and extending northward through the Meals proper ties until covered by the detritus of the low foothills. This fracture is in- tersected by or united with a north 65 degrees west fracture in both in- stances, and ore deposition has occur ed or near these intersections follow ing the cross fractures in the Ruth and both in the Moss.
 This zone of fracture is one of the most extensive and persistent of the whole district and consists primarily of three main practically parallel fractures, with bearings starting with the most easterly (A) north 25 de- grees west, (B) north 25 degrees west, co north 20 degrees west respective ly. (See map.)
 Fracture (A) is distinctly traceable by hanging-wall vein of calcite and quartz which varies from a few feet to twenty feet or more in width, from the Moss shaft through intervening property on through the Rincon, part of the Jupiter into the Comet claims of your property.
 It forms the east boundary of very extensive vein system, which centers upon the w. R. Hearst claim of your property and includes practically the whole group. This system consists primarily of north and south fractures (A) and (B) connected by a large fracture having bearing of north 45 degrees west fractures which enter from both easterly and westerly direc- tions uniting with the main fractures but seldom crossing them. It is at the point of union of the two fractures that ore deposition occurs some times in he smalled intersecting fracture but often in the main fracture itself The deposition therefore consists of series of ore shoots along the frac- ture zone at the points of union of two or more Assures. As these ore shoots
