latter. as viii be seen from the more
extended description given elsewhere.
there are already developments of very
considerable ore bodies, although. as IN
the other case. the working is confined
to very shallow openings.
Still northwest of the range just re-
ferred to there is another considerable
grouping of low hills distinctly separ-
ated from the main range Of the San
Francisco mountains beyond. and foot
hinS thereof, in which is located the
famous 0. X. mine of the Majestic
group. Among others which have been
either located upon the strength OF
their own groupings. or in many cases
simply because of their proximity to
that mine. the Klondike, the Ben Harr1-
son. the O. K. Extension are all groups.

anything more than surface develop

In the Copper Mountain, upon spur
extending westerly from this peak, and
lust above the level of the. valley, the
"copper" Mountain company has sunk a
shaft following an ore body 10 depth
o. about 300 feet. Some ore has been
found of good grade, and the groupings
along this entire ridge through the
property of this company gives the best
of encouragement to justify develop
ment. The expenditure upon it. how
ever. has been, aside from the one
shaft. no more than assessment work
and cannot be considered as having
fairly developed the claims.
