 SCHOOL OF MINES AND METAL luRoY OF UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI. w w. Garret
 September 2l. 1906.
 Mir Homer Prickett,
 Douglas, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-
 l herewith submit my report on the property known as the TELLURIDE , MINING COMPANY, of Sonora, Mexi- co.
 The claims, comprising the holdings of the TELLURIDE MINING COM PANY, oi Sonora, Mexico, cover about fifty t50l pertenencias. They are sit uated in northern Sonora, some eighty (SO) miles south of Douglas, Arizona, in the Avispe district
 The surrounding country is extreme
 ly rugged, and ore freighting would, on that account, be limited to packing. The mine is situated some fifteen (15)
 miles from the famous Fl Tigre. The road made by this company can be
 used in getting out ore or products
 from the claims of the Telluride com pany. The nearest railroad point is Ysabel, about forty-fiye miles, on the NacoZari line.
 The topography of the claims is i'm portant as it will directly affect the mining methods. La Pita canyon is
 here about 1000 1t. in depth. The west bank is steeply sloping. but the east oank has only moderate grade. La
 Pita canyon has laid bare the veins for hundreds of feet, in cutting down the sides of the canyon. On the east bank, the main vein exposure is visible for several hundred feet. only the low CT part of the outcrop, near the creek, being covered with detritus from above.
 There occurs undoubtedly as a true Assure vein. with later faulting and fracturing evident in some places.
 The formation of the canyon is, of course. by comparatively recent action, the original veins having been eroded by the action of the creek water. The fact that the main vein at the .op of the east bank shows no dimunltion at the lower part of the canyon gives almost conclusive proof that 1t is per manent, both vertically and horizon tally, and that the present dimensions
 of the surface outcroppiHs will be maintained in both directions.
 The country rock is quartz-porphy. ", which Is somewhat altered by so- lution action, as the contacts are ap- preached. The vein matter is largely quartz, running extremely high in si- lica contents. Some slight-fracturing or Assuring has taken place in the vein matter after its formation, due to slight movements in the rock masses.
 The values in the ore occur in small amount of finely disseminated concentrates. These consist of some gold as telluride and of some sulphides of iron. Along the lines of Assuring there has been some secondary enrich ment by deposition of telluride, leached from the vein matter above. Some of this Assure material shows very high gold values, but the fractur- ing has not been extensive enough to make this part of the ore important. In the limited time at my disposal
 l was unable to give the property thorough sampling, which indeed would have been impossible at the present stage of development. The samples obtained, however, were care fully chosen, and were taken so as to
 avoid any of the oxidized Assure ma terial, which is very rich, though smalr in amount. The following rough
 sketches will indicate the general posi- tion of the veins, and the disposition |, Of values.
