COW more than was promised me.
had heard a great deal OF the camp,
~ I must confess that although pre-
0orod to see something good, ! could
moi credit what they have there with
ont actually seeing 1t. To thorough
Is appreciate what they have in Ube-
hebe one has got to see It.
"The first impression that a man
oots of the country is that If there
/ ANYTHING there, 1t is going to be
oasy work getting it out, for the lay
of tbe country is all in favor of min
iop The mountains are high and
thev come down sharp into the val
ley. A second glance Is all that IS
,ecessary to show you that they have
cot something in the mountains, for
tho contact is very distinct. The
formation IS in lime and granite.
The lodges are true copper rock.
There is garnet, which give way TO
iron gossoli under the surface, and
in plaees the gosson I'M right to
tbe surface. There are big lodges
there. which anyone can see, and
they must be seen to be appreciated.
I'VE spent the better part Of two
days going owe the mountains on
burros. The trail over the noun
tains is the finest IN the United
states. One gets a wonderful view
IRON the top of the mountain and Il
is one camp where a man a go and
see the location work done on the
lodges. On every claim where there
has been any work done at all the
copper is showing. | stood on one
hill. and / could see at least a hun
bred different openings, trenchings
samplings and tunnels.
"a saw five separate lodges. and
there are a number OF stringers be-
sides, running into the main lodges

says Of this made my own assays
Of the copper however and much Of
itran Very high. or course the per
centage was different in different
places, but one shoot that ! assayet
ran 80 per cent for twenty feet.
f"Most OF the development worl
thrre has been done BY tunnels, ans
they can find a tunnel site on n ledg,
almost any place. The mountain 4
2000 feet high. and YOU see the out
cropping and can trace it right dow
the hill. This would give the ledg.
a depth Of 20O0 feet, vertically am
there would be more than that Il
backs,
One ledge ! saw will 90 from te.
to forty feet wide. II would hav
been forty feet In width all G bu
for the water coming down throug
the canyon and wearing away tn
granite. and ia some places 1t ha
worn away the ledge. In some place
the ledge crops twenty feet aboy
where you will be standing. Thi
appearance is caused by the waite
and the debris coming down the cal
yon and washing away the granit'
and leaving the ledge standin
against the lime.
There are all the indications th;
the property win get better wit
depth. The lodges are well define
and YOU get copper wherever You z
Anybody. whether he knows much
little about mining, ear 20 there al
see for himself the possibilities
the country and he can't comprehei
i all without seeing the camp.
As far as a railroad is concerne

nit to cross, and for the rest of {
proposed road it is only n matter
putting down the ties and laying I
rails. The hospitality of the VI

my experience / do not wonder at

Greatest showings that | ever 50
