ARIZONA'IOM REED
COMPANY FINANCED
OATMAN, ARIZ., Aug. 20.—0 n the
heels of the announcement that Hay
den, Stone & Co., of New York and
Boston, have purchased a large al
lotment of the United Eastern Min
ing company’s shares and will soon
list the stock on the New York curb,
comes the news that the brokerage
house of O’Mara, Wilson & Co., of
Philadelphia and New York, has
agreed to finance the Arizona-Tom
Reed Gold Mines company. This
stock is also to be*listed on the New
York and Philadelphia curbs.
In addition to this gratifying in
dication of the interest taken by in
vestors in the gold mines of Mohave
county comes the announcement that
E. McNeil & Co., of Chicago, have
purchased 200,000 shares of Gatman
Mining & Milling company stock and
will list them on the Windy City
curb.
The holdings of the Arizona-Tom
Reed company adjoin the well known
Pioneer Consolidated mine, in the
north end of the camp. Ore is in
sight having an estimated value of
$200,000. On this (jornpany’s Trio
claim values range well into hun-'
dreds of dollars to the ton, and in
places they are so concentrated that
prospectors have made excellent wages
by mortaring out the gold.
Arrangements are being made with
the owners of the Pioneer Consoli
dated to work the property of the
Arizona-Tom Reed company through
the Pioneer shaft. A drift is to be
extended from the 200-foot level into
Trio ground. This makes it unneces
sary for the Arizona-Tom Reed to
install a heavy plant of machinery
and put down a working shaft before
the exact location of the ore body,
at depth, is known.
As the shaft of the Oatman Gold
Mining & Milling company is deep
ened the ore body struck last week
widens perceptibly and increases in
gold content. All the ore is of
milling quality.
Rapid progress is being made by
the Ivanhoe Consolidated company in
driving a crosscut on the 200-foot
level. It is expected that the con
tract of the Carter and Fox veins,
which is the objective, will be reached
before the end of August.
The ore body opened last week on
the 400-foot level of the Black Eagle
of the Tom Reeu company
has been crosscut 32 feet and there
is no sign of the hanging wall. The
average value for the entire 32 feet
is S2O a ton, but 14 feet samples
much higher than that. At a depth of
200 feet this ore body is 40 feet
wide.
o
YAVAPAI HIT TOP
IN EARLY AUGUST
PRESCOTT, ARIZ., Aug. 19. —Twen-
ty-three cars of copper bullion, aver
aging to each car 50,000 pounds, was
the tremendous tonnage handled the
first week in August by the S. F. P.
& P. from two stations on its line in
this county, which goes down in the
productive history of Yavapai min
ing as without counterpart in ship-,
ping annuls.
Os this immense yield of the red
metal only three stations are enumer
ated as the receiving points—Clark
dale, Jerome Junction and Humboldt.
The latter furnished three cars for
the week and the others 20 cars. In
the aggregate there was represented
in these shipments over 1,000,000
pounds of coppr, which at the pre
vailing quotation per pound, would
reach nearly a quarter of a million
of dollars. If this weekly ratio of
production is maintained for one year,
and which, it will in all probability,
these two sources of production will
reach the huge sum of over $10,000,-
000.
While the tonnage handled by the
railroad is noteworthy, there are other
productive sources in shipping to be
taken into consideration, and in this
instance are not credited to the Yava
pai copper field. Scores of mines
are producing and shipping, and the
ores in a majority of cases carry red
metal values as a factor in valua
tions. The high water mark is an
index to the resources of this field,
where facilities are in evidence to
treat the product, and which it is
anticipated by movements maturing
at several new camps, will be in
creased materially within another year
over the splendid showing now estab
lished. The Little Daisy, Copper
Chief, Commercial, De Soto, and sev
eral lesser properties, are fast enter
ing the stage of heavy production to
color the Yavapai mining atmospherity
ever known, and without taking into
consideration the practical efforts of
' those in other metaliferous channels,

Slid OPER4IIONS
The Arizona Hercules which nas
been lying dormant is coming into its
own. New blood and big money have
taken over the interests of Col. W. P.
Dunham. Within a short while the
uirt will be flying from a new shaft
which the Hercules will sink and the
hill wiil be dotted with churn drills
pounding their way into the bowels of
cne eartn to* locate the extent of the
present ore reserves. Plans for the
mill to be erected, which will be de
signed to treat 200U tons of ore per day,
are being gotten out and within tne
year the company will be turning out
the red metal at a tremendous rate.
C. E. Addams, formerly assistant
superintendent of the Ray Consoli
dated at shaft No. 2, has been ap
pointed general manager and is rap
idly pertecting his organization.

for the company, and who had cnarge
of the development work for the Her
cules when it was explored With churn
drills, will have direct charge of tne

at once for the purpose of trying tne
present developed ore body with other
ore bodies revealed by scout holes to
the east and southeast of the present
developed ore.
The Ray Hercules has an authorized
capital of 1,500,000 shares of $5 per
share. The principal members of the
new syndicate, which has control of the
Ray Hercules are, J. G. Hopkins, for
merly managing director of the Ari
