 To tic Presiden;t, Gedrge N. Ciprico, Eeq .. and the Directors ot the Cumberland Mining Company, AT Caiit6rniG street, San Fran cisco-GENTLEMEN: In tliis, my first re. port, have great pleasure ID coRfrnilg
 Sir Vim Craib's report df December lst, 1878, and agree with him in his closing reparIss Of the vast wealth and import ance of the Cumberland Mine I am of the opinion that this tiine; or ledge, will increase in size as it goes down to from 90 tc 60 feet wide. My reasons fCt so thinking arc that on the south tliere is a granite wall which forms the foot-wall, aud On which the ledge rests, while on the north, and 60 feet from this wall, IS anoth- CT cropping boldly tip. Outside these walls the country is stony and rough, but between them it is as snicoth as a Edtden walk, with hundreds of small quartz veins running through it. These veins gradu- ally widen as they Eo down. Ntere all these veins come into the ledge, they i'll up the whole space between the walls spoken of, making the ledge 50 or 60 feet across.
 The Gun berland Mii!e is Q gold -bea.ifig quartz lode from 8 to 10 feet wide, dipping to the north and running nearly east and west, with well-defined walls. Free gold can be seen in nearly every piece of ore exposed, There has been considerable work doce upon the mine; three shafts have been sunk, a good road built up the side of the hill, two stone buildings erected, and also small corral. The ground has been prospected along the vein, and everything is ready to commence operations on more extended scale. The Cumberland ledge can be traced for over one mile; showing the wen-aefined character of the l5ae.
 There are three large veins. ot Spurs, coming into the Chhiberland from the north; conyefging toward each other. The coriibined width of these veins and the ledge is twenty-five feet of solid ore. These veins are rich in gold All the ground from the cap, or outercp of the ledge, down the hillside tc the wash, or creek, is rich in free gold, and tons of splendid float can be gathered from the surfsce--all goou specimens The sur rounding country is rich in gold and sil- yer lefges, some of them wonderfully ricE. The Leviathan and Vulture are inn menss lodes that have been proven to be of immense value of free gold.
 LocktIoN.-Cumberla Mine is Situ- atcd on the south side of Date Creek Range, about one and half miles from Martinez Creek-seVen miles from Date Crcek-and from eighteen to twenty miles from Wickenburg, tie nearest post town and telegraph station. The wagon road 10 Prescott passes within one and a half miles of the mine. The stage passes every day by another road, and meets the railroad cars at Maricopa Wells.
 WOOD AND WATER.-Water to riIinrs any size mill can be got in the Martinez Creek, or in Date CfeeE Thousands of cords of wood can be seen from the mine, GOV ering the level country to the south and west. Labor is plentiful and cheap, and provisions at Maricopa Wells very req. sonable.
 REcAPITU1E4ioN The Cumberland Mine is q most splendid property--4 large body Of ore, very rich; plenty of water at hand :; wood within one-Lalf q mile; good roads; easy standardization with any part of the world labor cheap Gnd plenty, and with record of from $130 to s260 per ton. All that l have seen on and around the mine impreSses ne with the belief that this is the most valuable property in the Territory. In concluding this short re. port, wish to impress upon the minds of the Directors and shareholders the value of the Cumberland Mine. It is no wild-cat, but mine that must come be. fore the public either now or at soma tutnre day; It is only matter of time for l am convinced that the Cumberland Nine will be worked successfully for gen. erations to come. The Directors corrot think too highly of the Cumberland Af;na for it will be worked when they and their chllQrenS' Childrpn have ,.o...
