RICH MINES ARE NEAR.
Recurring to the Arizona Colorado
Copper-Belt and Gold Mining and Mill
ing Company. it's property is only
little over mile from the mining prop
critics of the Old Dominion and United
Globe companies and in the same cop
per belt with these two largely devel-
oped and big, rich mines. An extract
from the Arizona Silver Belt, in part,
states: I'm area the Globe copper belt
exceeds any other in the western states
and territories. Its boundary limits are
we'll defined, marked here and there by
mines and prospect shafts. That the
original (or sulphide) ores would be
found at a reasonable depth is fact
demonstrated by the discovery of sui
phide ore in the deeper mines here at
Globe at depth of 1000 feet. 1t has
been claimed that these same deep
mines, which have produced millions of
dollars from the oxidized ores are only
sulphide zone this will undoubtedly be
proven, as the large mines are now pre-
pared to continue sinking on down into
the zone as far as modern machinery
face mining has paid WELL but deep
mining is paying better. There is not
another mining camp in the world
where the production equals that Of
opment."
CENTER OF THE BELT.
"The property of the Arizona Colora-
do Copper Belt and Gold Mining and
Milling Company is, as near as can be
reckoned, in the center Of the great
copper belt known to exist in ella
county. The development on this COM
pany's property consists of a prospect
ing shaft sunk for purpose of demon-
strating the property; this shaft was
sunk on the Little Beauty claim and
conditions and indications being such
that the company felt warranted in
sinking big, double compartment
shaft for working shaft. The big
shaft is now being sunk at point about
twenty three feet west from the pros
pecting shaft, and where several veins
appear to form a junction, and when
the big shaft reaches the water level,
the large bodies of ore will be encoun-
tered. Besides the prospecting and big
shaft the Little Beauty and Ida May
| which join end lines, each has a shaft
about twenty feet deep, and in ore
there is one tunnel 1876 feet long run on
the vein in the Commerce claim, and
one cross-cut tunnel 200 feet In the
| Baltic claim. The property is now be-
ing developed in three places, the cross
cut tunnel is being run in order to cut a
big vein at depth from which SAM
pies of ore from the surface were taken
that run s39 in gold, per cent copper
and 4OS ounces in silver to the ton. The
Dunkirk claim has two shafts. one ten
and the other twenty feet deep, also the
Franklin claim has two shafts of like
depth.
