Reports are flying around that an
immensely rich strike has been made
in the Congress mine, in the deepest
workings. The statement is made that
on the 1000 foot level ore running
fourteen ounces per ton has been
found and on the 1.700-foot level the
ore body has widened out to twelve
feet.
An undeveloped mining claim is like
an undeveloped farm-it requires the
expenditure of much money and labor
to make it productive. Many districts
are kept back because of the fancy
prices asked for mere prospects. This
scares away capital, for capital knews
by experience that it is generally a
long ways from q prospect to q mine
Orb.
Arizona has today in operation seven |
distinct copper camps, each being the |
center of well known and extensive |
deposits of the metal, widely separated |
by distance, yet closely related in sue
cessful productivity. In addition, there
are as many more camps rapidly being
developed, which will undoubtedly take
rank perhaps before the summer is
over, as producers, and will materially
swell the output of the territory
Orb.
One of the richest strikes in this en-
ire district is that at present being
developed at the Lookout mine on Tru-
lilo creek, owned by Hon. j. M. Web
ter and Col. j. P. Parker, and the
,wners and several leasers thereon will
become very rich men. About
our tons of the ore sampled here at
Alloys Preisser's laboratory during the
week yielded the astonishing values of
600 Ozs. silver and % ozs. gold per ton.
