mines with greater ease and rapidity
when once they are freed Of that
troublesome factor-water.
While the Morris and Old Glory are
now practically developed mines, hav-
ing been worked in systematic man
ner for the past two years, there are
still many other fascinating and prom
ising surface showings on the outside
claims, upon which very little work
has been done, but which in our esti-
nation will prove of surprising value
when developed, and they will without
doubt receive Mr.. Glroux's prompt at
tention when he comes to personally
supervise the work here. In this con-
nection we might state that the Tay-
lor mine, which has been neglected for
sometime, will render very good ac-
count OF itself when called upon, as
there is now sunk on this claim an in
cline shaft to depth OF $50 feet, the
entire distance showing uniform four
foot vein, returning a general average
assay value of IL per cent. copper, 81
in gold and 2 ozs in silver. But this
is but an infnitlsmal seam when COM
pared to the giant veins upon which
the greater amount OF the work is now
being performed. Howe yer, there are
a great many tons OF ore and thousands
of dollars TO be produced from this
vein alone.
Some idea OF the extent and magni-
tude of the Giroux properties can be
gained from the fact that The manage
ment regard this excellent showing on
the Taylor as mere side issue.
We can truthfully state after having
made tour and examination of the
entire property that it presents one of
the greatest possibilities of any miaing
enterprise in the United States today,
and believe that the successful develop
ment of these mines will be the crown
ing work of Mr.. Giroux's mining ca
reer, which is saying great deal when
1t is taken into consideration that he
has been very prominently ,dentili3d
with the Developments of some of the
greatest copper mines in the country
notably among which are the following
mines of the Amalgamated Copper CO.
of Butte, Mont: The High Ore mine,
the Diamond mine, Clark Colusa,
Ramsdell's Parrott and the Colusa
PARROT mines. For the past fifteen
years he has been general manager sof
the United Verde Copper Mines at
Jerome, Arizona-the mines that have
made Senator w. A. CLARK one of the
wealthiest men in all the world.
To show the sincerity OF Mr.. Giroux's
belief in the merits and possibilities of
these mines we herewith append the
following letter. in which he accepts
the manag cement of them:
