Arizona Copper-Cold Company to Engage
In Extensive Operations--Has Thous-
ands of Tons of Ore Blocked Out
Description of the Property.

creased II an aerial tramway should be
built from the mine to the mill. The
distance IL one and ne.half miles, and
the topography Of the country will
readily lend itself 10 such q structure,
mt cost Of about $4,000, with q en-.
pacity of 5000 tons n day. This tram.
way, besides handling the ore from the
Leghorn, would also carry that from
the Gold Lode and other claims that
are ready to be opened up M soon as
the transportation problem IL solved.
The surface improvements on the
Leghorn consist Of n 40horse power
hoist, boiler and n No. 4 Cameron
pump, covered by n substantial build.
ing. There also il boarding house
for the men employed at the mine.
The Leghorn In n mine in itself and
one that has ample ore 20 alone put
the company on pront.producing
basis.
In addition, there is the Gold Lode
claim, situated n short distance away,
with an incline shaft sunk 20 depth
Of PA feet, and with ore Of value that
will produce profitable extraction. At
the bottom Of the shaft n level SO feet
Inns been run in on the vein, and forty
feet below the surface there 10 nm adit
hfty'one feet long, from which 100
tons Of ore hns been taken ont and
milled.
! In the writer's judgment, the best
claim Of those that have been develop.
ed IL the Buglcr, situated about mile
to the east. II 10 developed by two
tunnels, driven directly on the vein,
and connected by m uprnise l35 feet
in height. The upper tunnel 10 100 feet
long and tho lower one SEQ feet. Roth
thesc tunnels are in ore, with n vein
filing OF QUARTZ, imprcgnatcd with OF.
) ides Of iron. The contact walls are
granite and porphyry, this formation
being characteristic Of permanency.
In fact. the outeroppings may he traced
across the mountain, thus demonstrat.
ing that the vein In nearly a mile In
length on the company's ground.
While this ore does hot run as high
. In values a. that Of the Leghorn, what
/ appeals most forcibly 10 the practical
? observer, 10 the large body Of ore and
low cost Of extraeting and handling
Z the output. The ledge IL from two 10
D six feet In width, with no faults or
\ breaks, and the ore In what 10 known
, m soft ground, requiring no powder to
= mine Il. Indeed, Il 10 readily scpar.
' ated from the hanging wnI with pick
0 and hence i've timcs NJ much ore can
9 DO taken out In q day than where II d
0 found in n hard formation. BY driving
another tunnel lower down on the vein
: and making connection with the upper
}. wosain9s, IN immense tonnage can b
J, handled economically, and by placing q
!. rotary crusher ut the mouth Of the pro
4 posed new tunnel, the ore can bc re
@ duced at a nominal cost and eyanided
O There would be no expense Of hosting
q no hauling TO the mill, and the orr
;. should yield a net profit Of o. q
g $l2 to the ton. Fifty tons n dn,
n can be easily mined under those condi
=. tions, and the Bugler, after these faeil
!. tiles have been provided, ought to turf
I. out $500 a day profit. There are nov
a lO,sOO tons In sight and the suppl.
available for blocking out seems TO b.
inexhaustible.
, The company owns four timbe
. claims, thus giving 1t an ample suppl.
% both for fuel and mine timbcrs. Tn
n company's mill il situated on the eas
n bank Of Cherry creek, q stream tina
n has never been dry. II owns waite
10 right aud ms the creek has fall o
- over forty feet within tho company
q, lines, considerable power can be gen
~ Grated. sufficient to light the mill an
,e adjoining buildings.
ID The mill itself consisting Of To-
re stamps, with n capacity Of fifty tons
ne day, is a splendid plant. II IL equ,ppc
n with s0.horse power Corliss engine
II n sO.horse power boiler, and three Fru
ct MANNERS. The economical management
%. OF the company IL illustrated In III
m purchase Of this mill, which was bough
and installed for about $4,000, IL havin
