COPPER BELT

What appears to be one of the
largest copper belts in the world is
the section extending from the
northern boundary of Humboldt
county for twenty-five miles into
Oregon. This large mineral area
commences near DEMO and follows
the course of the Pueblo mountains.
Besides having great length the cop
per belt Is over ten miles wide.
A. Lundin, who arrived in Winnie
mucca from DEMO a few days ago
brought in a large lot of samples of
copper ore which he will take east
with him to place on exhibition The
samples all show good percentage
in the red metal, besides carrying
fair values in gold and silver.
On the Markle and Furguson
group three men are at work on
twelve-foot ledge of copper ore, this
being one of the best showings in the
district.
On the Viking group, owned by A.
M. Williams and associates, several
men are at work developing the
property. The principal work going
on at the present time Is tunnel
which is in 375 feet. This tunnel is
being run to crosscut the large min
eral belt, which shows immense
bodies of ore on the surface. Besides
the large tunnel which is being run,
the property has been explored by
numerous pits and cuts, showing that
the copper ore covers large area
of territory. Mr.. Williams and asso-
ciates have a large number of claims
in the group and expect to do large
amount of development work.
The group belonging to the
Thompson brothers has good show
ing and crosscut tunnel which is be-
ing run is in $50 feet.
On the Mohawk group, belonging
to William McMasters, there has not
been very much development work
done, but the property has big show
ings of ore on the surface.
The group of claims owned by G..
w. Garfield is the pioneer group in
the belt and considerable develops
ment work has been done on this
property. A tunnel in 80 feet has
cut through a large body of ore and
the bore is being extended on to cut
two other large deposits which out
crop on the surface. Mr.. Canfeld
has been in the district a great num-
Der of years and has great faith in
it's future.
The Tum Tum group is named at
ter the lake by that name, which is
situated only a short distance away.
This group. as we'll as the Garfield
property, is situated at the highest
point of the Pueblo range.
The Arizona group, belonging to
| citnatld
near the Garfield property, has great
outcrops of ore. A 6O-foot tunnel
to tap these ore bodies at adepth of
200 feet is being run at the present
time.
The Joe White property is anothe-
err property that has good surface
showings.
The Hot Air group, belonging to
Jack Brady, like the many other
claims, has good surface showings.
| Dan LaFoy, Britts and Howard
and others have groups of claims
tnat have good shOwings.
Cooper and Maute have group
of claims north of the Garfield prop
erty and have one of the big show
ings of the district.
The ores of this section cover all
the different characters of copper
ores, including a great deal of native
copper. In number of places in
this large belt gold and silver ore is
found, but generally is associated
with the copper ores.
This district. which is situated
about 100 miles north of Winnemuc-
ca, bids fair with development'to be-
come one of the really great copper
camps of the Countrywide Hum
