Arizona republican., 1908-10-22

proposes to build a large reduction plant. One of the units of his big projected enterprise is an aerial tram way from the mines to this reduction sight and in illustration thereof is the | big map that hangs over the ore dis plays in the window. The tramway 1 is to be operated by pravity and the map shows nearly all the properties | intervening between Prices station and Silver King. over or near which the tramway will pass, the old town of Pinal, the new town of Superior. the Cope property with the Silver adjOin- ing the Superior on the north. which l properties Mir McCabe sold for Joe Cope last year for Sl5O.O00. and other claims sold adjoining them for S50000
 IL is a birds eye picture of that whole section of the country.
 The deepest workings on the old Sil- yer King mine are 1O5O feet and lots of people have an idea that the mine is worked out. MT McCabe says there is more money in it now than was ever taken from il. only waiting for its proper development and recovery. When MT. McCabe secured | he went into the old Aaron Mason shaft and at the 100 foot level he drifted east @ feet, then made an upraise to connect with what is known as the pr. Jones prospect shaft securing ventilation. In the course of this ugraise he followed for g feet a fine vein with a pay streak two feet wide and nine inches of which carried 1000 ounces in sil- yer and 13 per cent copper according to returns from the Selb,- smelting works in San Francisco. This streak was scanned with wire silver which brought the silver values up to $500 Ter ton. He has been occupied with this work and the shipping of the ore since last May, demonstrating that the Silver King not only has been but stil, is a mine from the grass roots down. The rest of the two foot payStreak outside of the nine inches carries 13 per cent copper and from 375 to 565 ounces in silver.
 The old dumps of the Silver King are also rich with a vast quantity of ore discarded in the early days be- cause it was of a refractory nature the silver and copper being so mixed it could not be worked by the mill. The only reason for closing down the mine, he says. was because the cop per and silver could not be handled together and the wagon haul to Casa Grande and railroad haul to a smelter were fOrbidding He recently made a shipment of ore from these dumps to Fl Paso that returned 612 per cent copper and S65 ounces in silver. There are several old and deep shafts on the property and he believes the same kind of ore can be developed in al most unlimited quantities in all of them.
 The other claims of the Sin Rival group practically surround the King on three sides. There are numerous open cuts and shafts. totaling alto gether about three miles of work, all proving without doubt that 6he prop erty is wonderfully rich in both sil- yer and copper. No mine ever pro duced so much silver in those days as the Silver King, which Mir. Me Cabe believes is in the center of the silver values and though there is sil- Yer in all his claims he thinks the copper will predominate on the oth- CTS, though some of the veins are also very rich in gold. The King was most remarkable mine in the variety of it's minerals as it is of record that fifty-twO minerals of a commercial value have been found in it in some quantity.
 Speaking of the gold showing on the Sin Rival he says that from his biggest ledge the lowest return he ever secured was SIS. He has also been shipping from the Sin Rival claims quite extensively and has had fine smelter returns but has not got them with him in Phoenix, hence he is making no boasts of them.
 He says he has practically four mines in the group but three in par ticular that he likes to talk about and the four piles of ore in the win dow come from them. The richest is the white silver and copper ore from
