spot for seclusion and rest, which no
doubt would require considerable cash,
to separate from him and his good
wife.
The mine is a large quartzite dixie
which trends northeast by southwest
and at the point where the main
workings are located, the dixie parallels
the base Of a large lime carbonate
peak, into which it pitches at a dip of
about 80 degrees. A crOsscut tunnel
run in $50 feet and cuts the dixie So
feet below the apex. From the sur
face to this crOsscut, is principally the
scene Of Mr.. Macks early explorations,
the ore from which, he extracted and
milled, the proceeds he states, netting
him $4,000 with a loss of S24 900 in
the tailings. At the bottom Of a 100
foot winZe sunk from above crOsscut,
a 60 foot drift is driven on the vein to
the southwest. At the end of this
drift 16 foot cross cut shows all ore
and the hanging wall not yet in sight.
The first eight feet Of this crosscut
which is oxidized quartz samples Sc
per ton gold and the other eight feet
towards the hanging wall which is
copper carbOnates and honey comb
quartz, sampled 213 in gold. When
copper was % cents a thorough samp-
ling Of this eight feet gave a return of
1872 in gold and copper. As stated, the
hanging at this point has not vet been
reached. but this makes little difference
as 16 feet of such ore is large enough
for the biggest pessimist in the cOun-
try. At various other places are to be
seen the large bodies of high grade car
Donates which are only awaiting ex-
traction and smelling. while there are
hundreds of tons of Sc to So quartz
that would net large returns from the
cyanide process. There is 5000 feet of
development on this property, and the
writer regrets that he did not have
sufficient time to see it all. But what
was seen is simply great and why the
mine is not owned and operated extern
sively is a matter hard to understand.
Certainly Mr.. Mack's price should not
stand as a bar.
cARNATIoN GROUP
Consisting of II claims located in
Cienega Mining district two miles north
Of the Billy Mack, on same formation
and ledge, and seven miles northeast
Of Parker. The property is owned by
the Carnation Mining company and its
development amounts TO several
hundred feet, the most prominent Of
which is a shaft 300 feet deep. which
is crosscut both at the 200 and the 300
levels. At the 200 level the ore shoot
is As feet wide which ASSAYS "a gold
and 81 per cent copper TO the ton.
2 h.,
feet wide, but has never been sampled.
A second incline shaft is to a depth of
$50 feet. A crosscut tunnel. 40 feet
long, cuts the formation and this vein
30S feet from its apex At this point
the ore body is 25 feet thick, which
sampled for its entire width s per cent
copper and SO gold per ton. The en-
tire width of the shaft, five feet, is
ore, and the same sampled $3.50 in
gold, with good copper values.
GRAY EAGLE.
a property of ten claims owned by
the Gray Eagle Mining company and
the same joins the carnatiOn. There
is a 800 foot shaft and two tunnels
so and $50 respectively. A crosscut
tunnel at the $50 foot level of the
shaft, a body of copper carbonates 8
feet in width was cut which sampled
40 per cent copper and $3.50 IN gold
per ton. The so foot tunnel is run i'm
on the vein and the same is all in solid
copper ore that samples As per cent,
While the $50 foot tunnel also driven
on The vein, b. crOsscut, shows seven
feet Of ere that runs per cent copper
and $3.50 in gold per ton.
MAVlS GROUP
Owned hv the Mavis Mining c9m-
pany. Consists of five claims and
joins the Eagle on the north Two
shafts, 80 and 40 feet respectively,
show good veins of ore.
RICHMOND GROUP.
This property is owned by Robert
Stein and joins the Mavis. Good ore
is developed in the 80 foot shaft and
the $50 foot tunnel.
CYCLONE GROUP
A property of seventeen claims be-
longing to ]. H. Watson and W. H. o.
Alexander. The group is bounded by
the Quartz King. Billy Mack and Car
nation properties. Nothing more than
title work has been performed but even
in this, good ore has been encountered.
The formation is yellow porphyry and
iron with strong veins of quartz. This
property is for sale and as 1t Is sur
rounded by such meritorious neigh
bors, little trouble should be had in
finding a purchaser.
BELCHER GROUP
Five good claims which joins the
Cyclone and are owned by E. Bouton.
A shaft 100 feet deep, the entire dis
lance, is in red quartz which thorough
ly sampled, returned $3.50 in gold per
ton. -tasSI
