Weekly Arizona journal-miner., 1905-12-27

The efforts of the Great Republic Copper and Gold Mining company have terminated with, success, and one of the best strikes ever made in min ing proposition in this section occur red on Saturday. This information was given the Journal-Miner yesterday by an arrival from that property, and it may be relied upon as authoritative.
 The strike occurred in a crosscut that was being run from the bottom of the 700 foot level, and while its ex- tent was not determined it is neverthe- less a permanent one, and the ore body opened had not been completely pene- trated. In few days hence the size of the vein will be determined. The ore cut into is said to be practically solid copper, and lies in sulphide con- dition, being situated about 30 feet from the shaft in westerly direction. The belief of miners working in the shaft was that the vein was but the one that appeared on the surface, and on which the company originally start ed work. As depth was given, the vein was thrown to the west, ard as work was prosecuted it became apparent that this condition was evident by the oc- casional cutting into of pockets of sulphides. It was determined by the management to continue the work of sinking until depth of 700 feet had been reached, and then to begin a system of crosscutting to catch the vein.
 The Journal Miners informant says that after thi work was started a ias- per formation was encountered, and later an iron and jasper combination in formation was reached, with stratas of blue quartz coming in. This gave way to the blue quartz exclusively, and after this v-as gone through the body of solid sulphides was the result.
 The discovery has created a general jubilatiou in the camp, and the em- ployes as well as the management feel very much elated over the magnif- cent results that are apparent.
 J. M. Sullivan, the president of the company, has been seriously i'll at the camp for some time, and when inform ed of the event, he seemed to rally, and ordered the work to be continued on the plans outlined.
 The carrying out of this work has been diligently prosecuted by the com pany for some months past, and it has also been the principle of the manage ment to reach as great depth as pos sible before beginning any system of underground exploitation, firmly be- heving that when this was accomp- lished the results would be as they are evident today. In this they are to be congratulated, for the tireless manner in which they have followed out their plan of operation.
 Attending the success of this enter prise, there is a fascinating and inter esting story to relate in connection with the successful operations of the Great Republic company, and in which spiritualistic advice figures promin- ently in the success that has been Ob- tained on the ground.
 As related by the principal in it, D. P. Sullivan, brother of President J. M. Sullivan, it is in brief as follows:
 Two years ago D. P. Sullivan, then a heavy canner of fish and other meats in Washington, endeavored to begin the search of his long lest brother. From personal and other sources he traced the latter to the Kondike, to Montana, to California, and to other places; he travelled wherever directed and failed in each attempt.
 Arizona was never dreamed of as
