Bisbee daily review., 1908-11-22


the camp will make good. The ore is
certainly a telluride. and we get gold
with it. but l have not (actually have
not) had time to carry out tests I'd
determine what particular telluride
it is"
]. P. Casey. Jr.: u came here from
Lower Topic, where I was examining
a mine for the people represent
started at the Sol Camp claims here
and went northeast to the Hand Car
and from there to the Sky Scraper,
to camp, about four miles. It seems
to me there are two systems Of lodges.
one with strike southeast to north
west, the other northeast TO south
west, the latter seemingly being the
old vein system, as the dip is more
to the south. The whole country, ex-
cept the lime on top, is igneous, being
principally porphyry. and one of the
underlying rocks in what I believe
viii classify as a quartz-seyenite. The
dykes are phonolyte and quartzite,
and have a general trend from the
east and to the west, with another
system of dark blue rock which L
have been unable to classify, but
which / think is an altered diorite,
and strikes from north to south. The
vein characteristics are marked Dy
several inches of gangue wherever
opened up, and are of granular live
quartz variety and in places carry an
appreciable percentage Of pyrite,
which upon test showed strong horn
ings in gold. There is no doubt in
my mind that the metallic looking ore
in the white quartz Is telluride, but
1 am unable to classify it so far I
would point out the fact that there
are only five combinations of gold
with teilurium-sylvanite, calayerite,
Krennerite, petite, nagyagite-and
the last two especially having dark
lead-looking color, and this ore may
be combined with either bismutL or
molybdenum Only an exhaustive
neurological test-or microscopic
investigation-can prove this. But the
presence Of tellurium cannot be de
MED, as several samples of the ore
gives the reaction for tellurium on the
acid test. The great question is that
for the work done the camp makes an
unquestionably good showing so far,
and in my opinion it matters not I'M
der what particular technical mineral
ogical condition the ore may occur, so
as the values are there. Only further
development can demonstrate its fu-
ture. and as far as L am personally
concerned 1 have concluded to invest
few thousand dollars for develop
ment purposes"
Pete Erbell: ut has the earrnarks
of camp, but it will take time, pa
thence and money to put 1t in the
ranks with the others"
VIM. Truax: THE rock is here and
they can't tell me it hasn't depth"
Following are what the Ell Paso as
sayers fot from a pulp made by the
Mining Journal from rock taken per-
sonally out of the ledge in one of the
Camp e Ish claims: Frank II. Sea
mon. silver, 0.S5; gold, 7.Se; D. w.
Reckhart-Gold, S4S; Arthur W
Houck-Gold, 5.S6, silver, 40. erich
EFT & Ferguson-Gold, $50; silver,
020. These assays were made on No
vember 4. This editor vouches for
there being no sailing of the pulp;
that 1t was taken from a Sylvanite
vein; that It was not the highest
grade ore, and thai to the eye it
showed no mineral whatever.
What was doing when the writer
was there, and that he saw: On lease
No. 2 Loehr & McGregor struck the
ore at a depth Of less than ten feet,
and got good values. The same par
ties, on the King Solomon and Big
John claims, were working a number
of miners, and had uncovered good
ore assaying above SIS. A new vein
Of live quartz was uncovered on the
Big John, and men are now develop
Ing it.
DIR. Johnston and associates are
pushing development on the Sky
scraper and Handcar claims. The re-
suits give ore running high and hav-
ng the bonanza characteristics. Some
Of the ore from these claims show
exceptionally well
Sol Camp and associates are drift
ng at % feet on the Broken jug ana
he main shaft Is down over 40 feet.
Both works are in Gre. and It is now
jeing sorted and sacked for a tess
shipment of several tons. The sink
ng proceeds on the Golden Eagle, ana
IRE from this claim pass exception
lily well. The Sylvanite shaft Is down
,ver so feet. The bottom Is now ali
n ore of excellent shipping grade.
rhe writer took a sample from the
waste dump Of this shaft, and Reck-
art finds il to contain .15 ounces gold
