Arizona silver belt., 1902-02-13

there has been developed streak of
 from eight to fourteen inches wide,
 which is fabulously rich, giving 200
 ounces in silver and nine ounces in
 gold. In doing the assessment work
 they developed vein which gives $S0
 in gold. Ore is being extracted from
 this property and sacked for shipment
 to Pueblo, Colorado. The mine is To- cated about half mile from the old
 Warsaw mine. .-Nidette.
 In the location of a mining claim, a
 mine in the vicinity, mentioned by
 name in the location notice, will serve as the permanent monument" re.
 quired by the statute, which states
 that the notice of location shall refer
 to some permanent monument to iden-
 tify it. This decision was handed down by the supreme court of Arizona
 In the case of Kinney vs. Fleming two
 years ago. The same court, at the same time, ruled that location notice | stating that said claim is 1900 feet in
 length and we claim 300 feet on each side of the center of thu, discovery shaft for the full length of the claim,"
 is sufficient to hold sa;i claim. Kin ney vS. Fleming, 56 Pacific Reporter, 724.
 Ore in sight, or lore reserves" These much ill-used terms technically include, in their least restricted sense, only such ore as is contained in blocks at least two faces of which have been exposed to connected drifts and shafts or winzes, In it's very strictest sense, he term ore in sight is used to signify the net tonnage of workable ore con- tained in rectangular blocks of reason ably limited size exposed on at least three faces, that amount of exposing being absolutely necessary for the ac- curate calculation of average width, when the vein is very variable in this direction. Deduction should be made not only for ore already extracted from these blocks, but also for ore that cannot be profitably mined. The we'll defined outcrop of a vein may be re- garded as exposed face
 The slump in copper has not appre. ciably affected mine development in Pinal county nor reduced the number of inquiries from mining investors as to the opportunities for investing in good prospects, as well as developed | mines within the borders of this favor ed section. In truth, if it has had any 1 influence on our mining industry at all | it has been rather favorable than oth- | erwise. To the uniuitiated this state | ment may sound curious, but when they come to understand that both | gold and silver, in paying quantities, are intimately associated with the cop | psr in the ores of the mines claSsed as copper mines, in this county, they can understand the correctness of it. This | favorable natural condition makes it | PCooicic bO WI d iuhi OOuul1 COp- per mine at profit with the market | price of copper at a figure that would force copper mines in a less favored | section to either cease operations or run at a loss. Investors are beginning to understand this truth, and the slump in copper is driving them from the old fields where deep mining, low grade ore, and the presence of only the one metal in the ore, combine to make profits contingent upon the mar ket price of copper remaining steadily above l3 cents per pound. And they are coming to Arizona, where this contingency does not exist Blade. The conditions in Gila are similar to those of Pinal county.
