THE SOLOMON SPRINGS
 COPPER COMPANY


 We visited the Solomon Springs Cop , per company's property last Thursday There is no guessing about what we saw The majestic lime and iron dyke rises and plunges. cutting through the mountains. stretching across canyons and diving under mesas as far as the eve can measure. and finally vanishes in the far distant hills of Sonora. The Solomon Springs Copper company s property covers this wonderful torma- tion from Gold Gulch to the railroad A distance of several miles.
 This dyke. after close comparison. resembles the formation on the Calu- met and Arizona and the Lowell prop critics in the language of our es- teemed friend. Jack Connolly, t IS what they call "old hat" such as IS found in the rear of the change room on the Holbrook. one of the old rella- ble Copper Queen producers.
 The main property embraces four teen claims. besides several recent To- cations. Applications for patent are ln on nine of these claims. From surface indications and the results of devel- opment work, which included several shipments. those best acquainted with the property have named 1t "The Ir7sh Meg No. 9" From a shaft over loO feet deep.- some elegant caroonates have been taken. and the indications were improving when operations were suspended and preparations put ln mo tiop towards installing hoist A Whlm has been employed on the shalt up to date The ore from the shaft is cop ner in which silver is well represented. At the headquarters is a l3o-foot tun- mel. which has furnished some great surprises in the form of modest LOOK ing ore which assayed as high as thousand ounces silver. s60.eO gold and IA ner cent copper The ledge in thls +unneI is from ten inches to ten feet wide. and has been shipper TOT long time.
 If has ben demonstrated that the prop erty can be easily handled so as to pay the expense of development as it goes along a very remarkable recommen- datiou for a property in deep m1n- ing district. Notwithstanding that de- yelopnaent work of considerable conse- ouence has been done. their chleI source of encouragement arises rom the wonderful formation just described the great dyke of lime with lecSes oi hematite standing out in places ike bie iron fins. The situation of the
 fc n ideal Precipitous mountains slope away ID to undulating mesas offering every facility for pleasant camp as well as for development. An abundance or water can be supplied at minimum outlay. The property is about elgh1 ,oiIas southeast of Bisbee in the cele- brated Warren district, and Joins the Copper Glance on the north. It comes up to the Fl Paso and Southwestern railorad, a spur having been provloed for the accommodation of the camp The company has a commodious head ouarters a little over a quarter of mile from the shaft. The country at this point begins to slope away to- ward the Mexican line, and magnih- cent vista appears to the southwark through which the snowclad summits of the romantic Ajos are plainly visi- ble. while the San loses, in their i'm maculate mantle. standout in wonder full contrast to the sunny mesa over which you are driving as you contem- plate their frigid immensity.
 This is about the way the Solomon Springs Copper company is fixed" in one of the most fiattering locations Tn this most promising district, in this incompatible territory.
