and not be misled by my statements
again say the surface ground for or
| area of two by four miles Ia as well
mineralized as any mining camp have
ever visited. Float is found that assays
from 81 to $500 In gold, from 1 to zoe
OF. in silver and from to 25 per cent
copper per ton. Itis not supposed tina,
this host fell from the sun or the moon,
but generally believed that it came up
from depths IN the earth through veins.
There are numerous immense flow
outs from which hundreds of thousands
of tons of iron can be mined that some
day will find market in Ell Paso or
Alsmogordo. yielding a profit of from
81 to So per ton to the producer. either
for f1uxing at the smeltsrs, or for the
making of pig iron.
There are on and near the surface
| thousands of tons of low grade copper
ore, assaYing from 1 to 3 per cent cop
per that can not be shipped, that some
day will be worked on the ground by
some leeching or concentrating process
employing hundreds of men and yield
ing good profits to the producers.
There are many prominent tempting
veins, from which eamples of high
grade ore are taken, which if locates
in Colorado. would soon have a million
spent upon them in search for the ore
bodies from hich these samples came
Do not forget what I say. Aside
from the possibilities of finding pay
placers, 1t is not poor mans camp. If
you are not able to do or influence
others to do 500 feet of development
work, by shafts, levels and drifts, you
had better keep away from this camp,
for there 10 no chance for prospectors
to speculate on location, or q ten-foot
hole, until some one has gone down aud
proved values that tempt the greed for
ROld-a condition absolutely necessary
for action in prospects.
A claim is worthless to a prospector
unless there is a ready market for it at
profit over the labor he has put upon
1t.
