A MAMMOTH ORE
BODY EXPOSED.
The MaximiIIian Nine North of
Here Is A Wonderful One.

Pu1man of Phoenix, visited the
Maximillan group of claims, east
of Octave, owned by the Leviathan
Gold Mining Company, Lack of
space prevented extended mention
in last weeks issue.
The company owns IA claims,
lying lengthwise of a great miner
allied zone, for distance of near
ly two miles. Values have been
found for a width Of nearly q thou
sand feet and the entire length of
the group, showing the mineraliza-
ton to be general. The property
is altogether too large and out-of-
the-ordinary to be comprehended
in q single day-or even a week
by any ordinary mining or news
paper man, hence we will not at
tempt to go into detail. On the
Columbian claim, in the. southeast.
corner of the group, 30Ofoot in
cline shaft has been sunk during
the past year, showing sulphide. ore
all the way. The ledge or ore zone
seems to. be composed of a granitic
.qnartz, mainly, but occasional
granite, diorite and porphyry
"horses" appear On the 100-foot
level in the Columbia shaft, a. drift
and cross-cut has been run to the
north and east for some distance,
all in ore. On the 3O0-foot level,
a cross cut has Just been started
and the breast of the cut is III what
appears to be chlorlte schist, freely
sprinkled. with sulpherets. Even
the ore which shows no. sulpherets
at all to the naked eye horns we'll.
The Columbian shaft, being on q
different Dip or incline than the
ledge, cross cuts the ore body near
lv forty feet in a distance of 800
feet, the depth now attained.
Since the discovery of this prop
ertv by Frank Cznarnowski many
mining men have visited it, among
the best posted Of whom is #. G.
Archer, who spent nearly a week
making a thorough examination.
Mr.. Archer took samples along the
foot wall of the deposit for a dis
tance of 1900 feet and an average
width of 100 feet The average Of
the assays of all these samples was
$17.5S, showing the ore body not
only to be a mammoth one, but that
it carries good values. Speak
ing of the property, eight months
ago, Mr.. Archer said;
II cannot speak in too high terms
of the splendid prospect. 1t is OF
great magnitude, and if properly
handled, will mark the commen-
cement of w-grade mining and
milling on a large scale in Ariz
ona."
The company is compos ed of
Arizona men, and, an unusual
thing, most of the stock sold has
been purchased by local people who
have visited the property and been
impressed by it's great magnitude.
DR.. d. NJ. Purman is president,
Arthur G.. Hulctt, secretary and I
treasurer and Frank Czarnowski,
the Well-knoWn mining man, gem
eral manager. The offices are in
Phoenix and the work at the mine
under the supervision of Mr.. Gar
nOWski. To those who have any
idea of purchasing stock, we Will
say: GO and see it for yourself.
1t is so big that we would endanger
our reputation for veracity by any
attempt to make you believe what
we ourselves have SEEM
The News Herald will hereafter
keep its readers posted concerning
this wonderful property.
Ed. NJ. Kelley, who lately fin
ished the construction OF the SO
corro mill, is spending a week o

bers. No excuse for not bein
shaved these days.
