The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1883-01-05

from the small StrlngerS lnulcate u ull-
ferent character of mineral from what
is obtained from other claims in this
vicinity. 1t is an argentiferous galena
with considerable copper carrying gold.
Assays give returns from $50 to Sl14 in
gold and silver. The shaft is 175 feet
in depth.
The Eureka and Miantenaomi are
the properties of the Ivanhoe company.
On the former there is shaft 100 feet |
deep with a cross-cut fifty feet in the
ore. The vein is six feet with a two foot
mineral streak. Considerable ore has
been shipped by the company to mill,
returns of which have not been made
known. Assays average l6O ounces.
The ore is in copper glance. The latter
claim has shaft about twenty feet on
the vein showing good mineral.
The Ell Paso and San Antonio are
situated a little northwest of the Dread
naught. The groupings are very bold
and show strong mineralized vein.
The work of developing is a shaft forty
five feet in depth on the former show
ing mineral two and half feet in width
that will assay from 100 to $50 ounces
per ton. The latter has shaft fifteen
feet deep in good ore twenty inches
wide.
The Dreadnaught is developed by
shaft thirty-fve feet in depth. The
vein is eight feet and the mineral four
feet wide, gray copper and copper
glance, assaying from 100 to 375 ounces
in silver and ten to thirty per cent
copper, mill-runs eighty ounces silver
and eleven and half per cent copper.
The walls are limestone and porphyry,
and here the Devonian line comes to
the surface, which is rarely seen IN this
district in that position.
The Silver Glance is situated south
on the same vein with tue Dreadnaught,
and shows also a strong mineralzed
vein. 1t has shaft forty-live feet and
assays 255 ounces silver
The Mountain Chief is situated south
west of the Dreadnaught. 1t shows a
very strong vein, highly mineralized.
There were forty assays made of this
ore during the sinking of an eighty
foot shaft, and the average of them was
643 ounces silver with traces of gold.
The vein is three and half feet wide
with a twenty inch streak of Gre.
The Silver Monument is situated near
the continental divide at the top of
Chloride gulch. 1t has strong vein of
mineral and is developed by shaft and
tunnel. The vein is eight feet wide
with three streaks of ore that will av-
erage about twenty-five inches. The
character is bornite assaying from two
to 400 ounces silver and eighteen per
cent. copper.
The Alta and Highland Mary are on
Chloride gulch about nine miles from
Chloride, and show strong mineralized
veins, developed by shaft and tunnel
112 and fifty feet. Assays ninety to 1870
ounces silver and from twenty to sixty
per cent. copper. The veins are four
and six feet In width with from eighteen
inches to two feet of mineral.
The Silver Bell, Commonwealth and
Ledger are south of Chloride gulch
near South Fork, on well defined ledge
of mineralized quartz. A shaft sixty
feet deep on the former shows vein of
ore about two feet wide that will assay
from sixty to 120 ounces silver.
The Black Knight and Extenuate are
situated at the top of the range at South
Fork. They show large outcropping
vein highly mineralized, developed by
a shaft and tunnel. The ore streak is
about ten inches, of high grade ore,
being sulpkuret. Assays range from
$40 to 900 ounces silver per ton.
The Wall Street and Wall Street No.
are situated two and half miles due
west of Chloride. The erosions have
denuded the mineral veins SO that they
tand like walls of ore thirty to sixty
feet high. The development on No 2
IS shaft ninety feet deep and tunnel
of 100 feet, besides other smaller shafts
in different places on the ledge. The
ore is "a Chloride highly impregnated
with sulphide of silver, this metal being
found in silicate of lime and porphyry
together with native and wire silver.
The vein is from three four to feet and
the ore from eight to twenty-five inches
wide.
The Apache, Name, Old Vic, Sunrise,
Chieftain, Black Bear, Vulcan, Monte
! Christie, Hidden Treasure, New York
Central and u. S Treasury are on the
same aud parallel veins south of the
Wall Street lodes. They. are all more
or less developed by shafts from fifteen
to seventy-fve feet in depth, and show
"a similar character of high grade ore,
assaying from forty to 400 ounces of
silver. carrying some gold.
The White Signal has shaft seventy
five feet and tunnel thirty feet deep.
The vein is forty feet wide and the
mineral from two to eleven feet wifte.
Assays from eighty to 800 ounces silver.
