Bisbee daily review., 1908-10-25

he asked the owner of the place about them. The man said, ''Oh, hell, that stuff? Why it's down there near Ha. chita, New Mexico, where they made a fizzle of a placer boom last spring. It's got mineral in it, but what's the use with lead at it's present price and only a little bit of it anyway, as this rock shows"
 Now, that lead was sylvanite. And Sol Camp knew It, because he had owned sylyanite properties and ne had made money leasing in sylvanite properties. Right then he sent tLe unused portion of his ticket in tor collection and went to Hachita, then the twelve miles to the Clarke camp: He wanted to look about a bit. He was there ten days, sending off sam ples every day to the assayers ne knew, and with each mail he got re- turns making more certain the unde- niable fact of the ore carrying high in sylvanite. So he made some loca- tions, bonded the best claims he could find, and then let it loose" and that's how Sylvanite got CT the map.
 From the grass roots along the en- tire 4500 feet of the three best claims Camp got quartz with free gold and sylvanite. He went up in the air, and wired his friends, at the same time going down into his pocket for all the money necessary. He secured the surface rights for townsite, and, in fact. took every measure he could to make a good stake out of the new camp, and securing enough mining prospects to make hIs a sure-enough operator" As he was the first he was determined to be really fin on the ground floor" and to put himself in, thus making sure. When I was there they had been working just eight days on the Broken Jug; they had 20 inches of high grade ore and they are now drifting on the vein, the ore continuing bG: aUza. The shaft in the Golden Eagle is down 10 feet, and the 12 inches of ore is the finest I ever banned The ore in both these claims averages $50. Picked sampies run into the thousands. On the Broken Jug there are about five tons sacked, and more coming up right along. feel safe about all this be- cause I was there and down in the holes and took out the rock from the veins. There was no possibility oi
 
 as a die, and the writer got enthu- siastic. This enthusiasm, however, does not vouch for any iepth-but il does youch for the statements herein, and that the indications are as fine for depth as were ever seen any where at the grass roots. The SyI- vanite shaft is down 60 feet and the whole thing screens fine. It was pay hn 1af was originally the Makeup Charley There are on this property three diff ferent veins, opened on the surface, with values from two to eight ounces gold.
 Prescribing a portion of the camp 1 did not visit, the language of Arthur Philbrick, k. M., s used: "A yeln on the Handcar and Skyscraper prop erty is from three to seven feet wide, traceable for 1000 feet. One place 1 sampled showed for nine pannings from s20 to S100. That vein is at least 1000 feet from the big trachyte dyke, in a northerly direction.
 Some 5000 feet further north is the Woods vein, six to eight feet wide, which can be traced 4500 feet through three claims, It Is opened up by an adit tunnel in about 135 feet and giv- ing depth at the face of about 12I feet. The tunnel for 70 feet back from the face is in ore three to six feet in width, with punches of high grade in places running from Is per cent to 30.3 to six feet in width and with punches of high grade in many places.
 About one hundred yards west of this is the Shivelsy propery, opened by a 40-foot tunnel showing two streaks of ore in face. which is now being sacked. and which will run SIP per ton. This is fully one and one half miles from the Sylyanite strike
 No one may looK further into a mountain than another. But 'it looks good at Sylvanite." Every indication is for permanence. It does not cost much to find out, because it Is high grade camp, and development will practically pay for itself. So there seems every reason to believe that the present 'boom" will develop one of the great mining camps of the United States. There will be disap- pOintments-there arc always. There will be suffering But there will sure k be SUCCESS.
