Bisbee daily review., 1908-04-12


 it is very hard to determine the ex- tent of tais find though it Is regarded as a promising big body. At one place it is shown up for distance of about 100 by 40. The drift carries and shows native copper with assays as high as D per cent. This body also carries sulphide though it is made up principally of oxide ores. The sulphides show good average of I per cent and the oxides carry about 8 per cent copper. There is another ore body on the south side of the claim which they have been mining for three and one-half years and still have a great deal of ore left It has been mostly developed for about 90 feet above and below the s50Toot level. It runs mostly oxide at about per cent. There are sev- eral other smaller ore bodies that have not been figured in the above and that when carefully developed will no doubt prove larger than they now show. This was especially no ticeable in the main ore body, as 1t at first looked like a number of smaller ones, but when further developed t was found to be practically one i'm mense body. Higa grade stringers are numerous. The southwest side has been but little developed. Some ore has been developed very recently on the 750-foot level At the present the station is being cut on the 1250- foot level. The' Mag is shipping about 300 tons to the smelter at Douglas. Oliver.
 --The Oliver ships about 400 tons daily. There is not as much com merciaI ore developed in this proper ty as the Irish, Mag though possibly not as much running 30 per cent Sulphide ores are especially good in the Oliver. Comparing the present stage of development of f,the Mag and the Oliver, it is not at all unlikely the Oliver will materialize into as big a mine as the Mag. The Oliver has five levels. Most of the ore has been developed on the 105O, 1150 and 1250- foot levels, although both the other two levels, the $50 and $50, show some ore, but there has been com paratiyely little work on upper levels The 1250 Is looking better than the other at the present stage of develop ing. Considerable or the Oliver ores have been found on the Senate and Senator 2. On the 1050-foot level there are two important ore bodies one to the south and the other north. The north body is about 400 by 100 and has been developed vertically for about 120 feet Mostly oxide, ay i eraging per cent, though there are sulphide ores mixed running as high as 10 per cent The ssouth 7050-foof levels show a body 400 by 70 by 90 principally sulphide, running F pel cent Punches of ore, some quite large, are to be found running as high as 40 per cent, but by running with lower grade ores and better smelling ores brings the average down. The Oliver is connected with the Mag on the $50, $50, 1150 and 1250-foot levels.
 Three hundred feet south of the Oliver shaft there is large body oI low grade sulphide 25O by 15O by 30 clean iron pyrite and very valuable drawing or it from time to time when necessary for fiux.
 'On the 1150-foot level, Buckeye clain, Oliver, two bodies, one sul. phide adn one oxide, have been open ed up. So far the sulphide body has developed 250 by so by 80, with an average of T per cent and the oxide body developed for about 150 by 15C and in one place 100 feet high but comparatively undeveloped In fac, the Buckeye claim is only scratched and there is every reason to expect
 big things from it On the 125O Oli yer there are two distinct bodies, one in eth tast shaft about $50 feet showing values. The boinenite and pyrite, cut in one direction 100 feet, showing an average of ' per cent This same character of ore was re gently discovered on the I150-foot level. directly above, averaging 19 per cent for a distance of 112 feet. The southeast end of the Buckeye claim recently developed a sulphide body. cut only in four different places and indications are that it will allow stoping ground 400 by I5O and al least 100 thick. All the S. & A. and S. & P. properties endeavor to run an average ore to the smeIter be- tween s and ' per cent and also watch for good fluxing material to assist the smelter men,"
 Superior G Pittsbura.
 MT Minnear cororoborates the statements made by other Lake Su. perior men returning from the south west concerning Superior & Pittsburg and says there is no doubt whatever oT it's future.
 Tt is plainly noticeable in this part of the camp that depth is what will more than likely bring the big ore bodies, though the showing on the i Delnorte claim is magnificent.
 Hoatson.
 This shaft was started in May. 1905, after the management was convinced it would assist fighting the water. which by the way, has greatly diminished
