Diamond Drill Behring'S Are Said to
Reveal Direct Continuation of
Schist Ledge of Clark's Big
Copper Mine

Development of prospective copper
properties in Arizona is being pushed
on a large scale and strenuous efforts
are being made to maintain for the ter
ritory the lead of all copper producing
states in output of red metal Reports
just received from Jerome to the eff
feet that sulphide values have been en-
countered and have been constant in
the shaft of the Haynes Copper COM
pany for over 20 feet would indicate
that Arizona will soon have another
large copper producer to add to its
list. Los Angeles capital has developed
this property.
The group of eight claims owned by
the Haynes Copper company is situated
next to the holdings of Senator Clarks
great United Verde, and because OF its
being located directly in the path OF
the known ore bodies of that famous
producer it is believed that 1t might
contain a continuation of the rich ore
bodies of that mine.
Before completing payment on this
group of claims the Manhattan Securi-
ties company of New York and Los An
geles, which financed the Haynes mine,
caused extensive borings to be made by
diamond power drills to determine the
value of the property at depth.
1t Is said that these borings revealed
ledge of the United Verde into and
through the holdings of the Haynes,
where it was proved to run from 600
to 900 feet in width. That the borings
were satisfactory is probable from the
fact that the management Immediate
ly completed full payment on the prop
erty and started work on the sinking
of the largest working shaft in the dis
trict outside of that of the United
Verde itself.
lnstaIs Modern Plant
It then purchased and installed the
most powerful and modern mining
plant of it's kind in Arizona, and has
been pushing the shaft down without
interruption by three shifts of miners
ever since, it is said.
Various small panels of sulphide ore
are reported to have been encountered
at different points down to 31S feet of
depth. From this point to 344 feet, how
ever, the formation Of schist carrying
sulphide of copper and of iron as well
as little gold and silver has been
constant.
Reports say this formation is to be
the true Verde ore and to be showing
steady improvement in sulphide values
with each foot of depth. The ore is the
same class as a great volume of that
which the United Verde is mining and
mixing with it's high grade sulphide
values in the smelters, it is said.
While 1t Is probable that a drift
driven off from the present depth
would cut into rich lenses of sulphide,
it is the policy of the management to
continue the shaft to substantial depth
before interrupting the work to cut
stations and drive drifts.
The Manhattan Securities company,
which is back of the Haynes Copper
company, is operating extensively in
other sections of Arizona and also in
California. The pay rolls sent out of
Los Angeles monthly by the Manhat-
tan people aggregate $4,000.
Several carloads of machinery have
been shipped from Los Angeles by the
Haynes people during the past year,
while another carload is about ready
to be shipped to the Amalia property
at Caliente. Kern county.
