THINNER REPORTS ON WOLVERINE
 SITUATION
NEW MANAGER OF PROPERTY TELLS SOME. VERY ENcOUR-
 AGING THINGS

Straight to important Results,
 Which are not Far Distant-GiVes
 Some Sound Talk.
 Manager Fenner has forwarded to the directors of the Wolverine & Ar izona at Michigan headquarters re port on the property based upon in vestigation and study he has given it since entering upon the new deal made in January. Much is contained in the report that is of keen interest both as to the Wolverine and as to the district at large. While, as MT. Fenner says, all may not agree with him in the conclusions he draws, there is nevertheless a great deal of hard sense put forward that carries valuable pointers. The report is as follows:
 Tn submitting this report I have endeavored to express my opinions relative to the merits and present con dition of the Wolverine & Arizona Mining company's holdings at Bis bee, Arizona. While I appreciate that these views may not coincide with those held by others, still the conclu- sions reached are in no sense snap DUl dlG OcioOA OAA NAAN NAPC rience gained in managing properties in this camp and by consulting with mining men now engaged in opera tions in this district. The main shaft of the Wolverine & Arizona was sunk on or near a contact between the Mar tin and Escabrosa limestoneS of the district. It has been demonstrated by the work of other company opera tors that the known ore bodies of the camp exist in what is called the Esca- brosa limestone or in the overlying Naco limestone. No ore has yet been discovered in the underlying Martin or still lower limestone. K nOwIng this our operations should be confin- ed to the Escabrosa zone.
 The Wolverine 6 Arizona property is located on the westerly side Of the mineral basin of Bisbee. The forma- tions this side of the basin have dip to the north, perhaps little east of north, consequently as greater depth is attained in the shaft the old CT are the formations that are ex- posed, which are barren Of mineral This fact has been demonstrated be- yond the question of a doubt, for while there might be a difference of opinion regarding the age of different Hines, there can be no question about the age of he quartZite (Bolsa) which lies to the south and west of the Vol verine & Arizona shaft with dip to the northeast.
 "As the shaft struck into the quart lzite below the 5O0-foot level and as the quartzite is plenty exposed on the sur face of the Extension claim to west of the Broken Promise claim there is no question but that the quartzite dips from the surface of the Extension claim across to the northeast and beneath the Wolverine ( Arizona shaft.
 The heavy flow of water encount- cred in the shaft came from the bed ding planes of the older formations and if we were to sink the shaft deep CT we would eventually cut the Bolsa quartzite and encounter the Pinal schist, which might result in opening up a greater flow of water but no min eral.
 The 500-foot station is cut in the Martin or older, formation and the drift has been in the same limestone for quite distance. When the first change in the course of the drift was made it resulted in projecting it still further into the older lime, but later when the course was again altered, il gradually turned into the proper course. A the present time it is running across the formations and has assumed the position of a crosscut rather than a drift.
 "ln the last 50 feet of the drift which is in the Caliro claim, the Escabrosa, or ore bearing lime of the camp has been encountered. The difference in the formation can be seen at once, even by the most casua observer, and I am of the firm beliei that we are now in a zone in whicf
 we may expect to find large bodies oi copper.
 Unfortunately up to the present time development work has been cone
 in territory where ore could hardly
 be expected. The work done in the
 past has been well executed, and i
 must be remembered that at the time the shaft was started the territory il
 that section had been unexplored Preliminary work was necessary in or
