CLIFTON -MORENCI DISTRICT.

V 4 scott Denver Mining Reporter
THE CHASE CREEK COPPER COMPANY
has a group OF forty-cight claim, lying
on the east side OF Chase creek, within
the recognized mineral belt Of the
ClfftOn-NOrcnci district. Its holdings
come down 10 the creek at point OPP
po-ite the great incl ne surface tram
way of the Arizona Copper Company >
LUngfellow group. From this point
they extend to the north, east and
northeast in the direction Of the Ciif-
ton Consolidated and Copper King.
Alta point on the mountain slope, 2l !
feet abOye the creek. a tunnel ha,
been started in nearly nOrtheastcrly
course which is designed to cross-cut
several pOrphyry dIkes which strike
through the belt Of the district. This
tunnel can be driven IN its proposed
course :, 600 feet before reaching the
opposite side lines OF the group. Ac-
cording 10 surveys made il would gain
a depth OF 200 feet in 4 distance Of
300 feet, and a depth OF l,600 feet il
continued ! 800 feet from the point OF
beginning, making one Of the deepest
tunnels in the district. 1t is claimed
that this group includes Il section Of
the well known fault which runs north
cast-southwe,t, forming the southern
limit OF the main mineral belt; and
that the LongfcllOw mine lies along
this same fault. While the Longfel-
low, lying on the west side OF Chase
creek, is one OF the greatest mines Of
the district, the territory covered by
the Chase Creek company is undc-
vclOped and its merits therefore uudc-
termincd But the great porphyry
dikes which cut through the group
parallel to the great fault above men,
toned, are within the granite and
show naturalization in the groupings,
though the surface ores are consider
ably lcached out, the copper dissolved
and no doubt reprccipitated at greater
depth as copper glance. The sur
face indications, character of fOrma-
llOu ana Iuc cpuulblOuo utNtlOpcu on
other properties in the same belt would
seem to make thorough exploration
justitiable and perfectly within the
scope Of good mining proposition.
The tunnel site il admirable, giving
ample dump room, i within easy reach
Of water supply and accessible to the
Coronado railroad on Chase creek.
The officers Of the company are as
follows: G. X. Mccormick OF Salt
Lake City, president; S. ). Campbell,
Boston, vice president; j. NJ. Russell,
Worcester, Massachusetts, treasurer;
II. B. Pitts, Boston, secretary. These
gentlemen, together with Duncan
McNichic and II. NJ. Curley Of Boston,
are directors. 1t is understood the
tunnel is to he driven with as much
speed as practicable. and for this work
an air compressor and power drills
will be installed. The work is under
the supcrintendeucy of l. y. Stevens,
who located most OF the group. \.

ton, is one Of the stockholders and as

RICH RIVER IS

Stream That IS Rich IN Ferhlizing
Matter.

The greatest opportunity FOR the re-
clamatiou OF arid lands in California
and perhaps in the entire southwest.
has been found to lie iu the utilization
OF the waters OF the Colorado river on
t. adjacent lands in California and
southern Arizona. A. a result of an
Investigation along this river. made in
January, 1902, by the photographic
branch OF the United States geological
survey, the extent or the aluvial bot
tom land between Camp Mohaye and
Yuma was iound 70 be from 400. 900 TO
800. 600 acres, says the Los Angeles
Express.
Extended surveys were begun Nov.
lst last, TO deser.44ae the area and
quality OF these bottom lands, the pos
sibiIity of diverting water to them,
and the probable expense OF their re-
I clamation. To this end a hyrdo-
graphic map OF the lands was begun,
including the gauging Of the river,
+ the location Of canal lines soil analysis
and the determination of salt and
evaporation; and Il topographic map of
the lands upon which the topographic
/ features are clearly and accurately
shown. will be OF great value in assist

sive knowledge OF the river a. whole.

Demands for irrigation in the Colo
rado valley are urgent. The average
rainfall at Camp Mohave is only 5.99
inches per annum, while the tempera-
lures are such as TO provide twelve
growing months in the year. The
Colorado river derives its principal
source of water supply from the melt
ing snow on the high mountains of
Utah, Colorado ard Wyoming. 1t
fetches the stage of maximum flow
approximately $1,000 cubic feet per
sccOnd-iu the months of May and
June, when the demand for irrigation
is normally the highest; its minimum
llow-about 1000 cubic feet per second
occurs in the months OF January and
February. at the time of least demand.
The opportunities for storage on this
stream are excellent.
Silts OF the river are difficult to
handle in canals, hut the fertilizing
properties which they have are such
that lands irrigated with these muddy
waters never will require further fer
tilizatiOn.
II. II. Forbes, of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Tucson, Ariz., who
has made study Of the silt in the
Colorado river, has pointed out that
this stream resembles the Nile in
many particulars. Like the great
river Of Egypt, the Colorado is subject
to an annual summer rise sufficient to
overflow the extensive areas of its bor-
dcrs and delta lands. These high
waters are rich in fcrtilizing sediments,
are exceptionally free from alkaline
salts, and come at an opportune time
for irrigation. Mr.. Forbes maintains
that when the Colorado i understood
and utilized as successfully a the

fog fruit has again proved its superior
qualities as lawn plant. since during

all ordinary drauEhty conditions with

eight morths on the mesa with less
than two inches Of rainfall. When
grown side by side with Bermuda
grass, it proved superior in every re-
spect. To secure the quickest u well
as the most satisfactory result on the
lawn, the soil should be spaded, mixed
with well-rotted manure, and the
plants freely watered. During the
present summer the laws of fog plant,
