THE CLEOPATRA
NINE OPERATIONS
Work viii Be Started at the
Smelter Early in Month
of September

PRESCOTT, Aug. 13.-It is expect
ed that the Cleopatra Copper Com
pany's smelter viii be in operation
fores from tine Cleopatra mine the last
of September. The smelter tracks and
other machinery are now being placed
in shape To start the plant Four hun
dred tons OF ore are already on the
dump ready for treatment The ore
was mined from the Cleopatra mine in
the Dillon tunnel. 1t samples from SO
to $35 ton, carrying copper values
from ten to eighteen per cent The
Dillon tunnel is now N 1890 feet The
drift from the 1888 shaft is being run
to connect with the tunnel and is In
$50 feet. Connection will be made
with the drift and tunnel by running
about 450 feet The tunnel will be
1000 feet in length when it reaches
the 1888 shaft The tunnel taps six
lodges, in all of which there is a good
ore showing. Three lenses Of ore are
now being developed in the tunnel.
The first lens is in the Cleopatra mine,
through which the tunnel passes 400
feet. Power drills started in operation
the other day on the Cleopatra ore
body, which IS being mined l 200 feet
from the mouth of the tunnel. The
ore body is tapped at a depth of 900
feet below the apex of the ledge. Good
ore is exposed on the surface, iudicat-
ing that the shoot is continuous from
the tunnel level to the surface. When
connections are made with the 1888
shaft the development of the other
lodges tapped by the tunnel will be
pushed.
The mouth of the Dillon tunnel is
in Deception gulch, Immediately south
east of the town of Jerome 1t runs
thronh the mountains south of Jerome
and the United Verde mine in the d.
rection of the 1888 shaft, located i'm
mediately west of the United Verde
company's smelters. 1t taps the six
lodges at depths ranging from 900 to
600 feet
The Cleopatra Copper Company dur
| ing the week put nine men to work
driving On ore bodies. This mine has
one compressor driving south drift
under the Winning tunnel. The shaft
will reach in about forty feet when
! high grade gold and copper ore were
encountered. Then a rise will be
made of about 100 feet TO connect a
shaft with the Dillon tunnel. The
compressor will be put on the ore
bodies encountered, which means from
fifteen to twenty tons of ore per day,
the last of September.

BURRO MOUNTAIN;
GREAT PROSPECTS
Copper Camp There Expected
to Rival Those of BiSbee
and Others.

The following appeared this week
as an editorial in the FL Paso Herald:
up in the Burro mountain district
/ of New Mexico, few miles south
west of Silver City. there. are the
beginnings of a copper camp that in
few years will rival if not surpass
| Cananea, Bisbee, Clifton-Morenci, and
| other southwestern camps.
This statement has appeared in
! this place several times during the
past two or three years, but it IS so
| important to FL Paso, and SO hard
for some people to grasp in its full
significance, that it is worth repeat
| ing.
There are three great companies
working in that field: Copper Gulf
(which has absorbed Com2nche),
Chemung, and Burrc Mountain. The
Copper Gulf company has the larges-
area OF mineralized and proved ground
and is in the hands of capable, ex-
perienced, and conser yative managers.
Chemung is controlled by the same
people who control Calumet & Ari-
iona and Green Cananea. and the
property is regarded by them as highly
valuable Burro Mountain is partly
owned by Phelps, Dodge& Co. and is,
managed by that company's represent
atives
THE largest proved body of ore in
the district is on the Burro Mountain
property, and is estimated to contain
100000 tons of low grade ores. Other
proved ore bodies in the district, in
Guiding the immense deposits of Cop
per Gulf, aggregate at least 100000
tons more, and the deepest workings
are still very shallow as copper mining
goes. Not much more than prospect
ing has been done, and yet the three
great properties have demonstrated
the existence of ore bodies declared
by authorities to be among the most
extensive in the world
within five years, it Is safe to say.
the Burro Mountain district will be
producing copper at a rate that will
have a powerful effect on the worlds
markets. The mines are dry, the
transportation question easily solved,
ali classes OF ore are found together.
the country rock is soft and easily
concentrated where necessary. Con-
ditions are in every way favorable to
make a model low grade camp Of high
productive capacity"
On a recent visit to Douglas DR.
James Douglas, of the Phelps. Dodge
interests here and in New Mexico.
expressed the greatest confidence in
the Burro Mountain district as sec
ton which was likely to attract much
attention as a producer of copper.
Shbuld this district attain promi
nence as copper producer the fact
that much of the country is now
owned by the Phelps, Dodge and Cal
umet G. arizona people lends peculiar
interest in this section TO the people
of Douglas. The Phelps-Dodge in
terests, already owners Of railroad
which reaches Deming could without
snormoGs cost extend their line TO
the Burro mountains and bring the
ore from that district to the Gopher
Queen and c. & A. smelters in this
city for reduction.

AT the Copper Queen smelter a new
ore pit Is being constructed near the
sampling works. This viii make the
fifth ore pit at the Quen. This pit is
being substantially constructed with
tufa stone for sidewalks. Seven fur
naces are in operation at the Queen
land the product here for August viii
De about what it was for July, when
It reached S.50e.00 pounds. While the
custom ore receipts at the Queen have
declined to the extreme minimum, still
there is an occasional car brought
from some of the outlying precincts.
This week a car was received from
the Kendall Ore and Reduction com
pany in the vicinity of ella Bend.
At the Calumet and Arizona smelteF
work on the new 500-ton furnace Is
progressing favorably and barring any
unforeseen difficulties it viii be ready
for blowing in by the first of October.
When hits furnace has been tested and
found to be all right then the work of
remodeling and enlarging the old fur
naces will begin. 1t is the intention
to enlarge the five 300-ton furnaces to
a capacity of 400 tons each. All this
work cannot be accomplished before
the beginning of the new year. Be-
sides the enlargement of the original
furnaces, another 500-ton furnace has
already been decided on and the pow
er provided for it. The Calumet and
Arizona, when it is completed as now
planned, will have a capacity Tor
handling in the neighborhood of 5000
tons of ore per day, including the
fiuxing materials. At the c. and A.
the present force is the largest ever
employed there since the plant was
constructed, this because of the large
amount of construction work which is

THE oPuTo DISTRICT.

The following information from this
district. south of Douglas in Sonora
is taken from the last number of the
FL Paso Mining Journal, Mr.. Dins-
more, it's editor, having recently made
a trip into that section:
The Oputo. mining district is in the
Oputo municipality, with the seat of
government at Moctezuma, about sixty
miles south of Nacozari, the terminus
of the NacoZari railway, 100 miles
south of Douglas The railway station
nearest the center of the district is
Calabasas. The Oputo district ores
are principally gold and silver, though
in some properties copper is found,
and in some lead. The district is very
rough, PERCEPTIONS mountains on every
side from few hundred to seveTaI
thousand feet in height. The country
is andesite, but considerable intrusive
porphyry and rhyolite is found. Lime
has generally been the precipitating
agency, and as rule the gangue is
quartz Massive spar is found in prac-
tically all of the mines of the district
this occurring in many shades down
TO almost solid black. Till consider
abe depth is reached the results OF
tremendous diSplacements and move
ments are seen in brecciations of
massive nature. In places the rhyolite
or porphyTy intrusions are very close
grained and shot full Of iron pyrites.
The ore is usually in assure, veins at
surface usually being small and rich
or large and low grade. II IS oxidized
TO from 2e0 feet and more Of depth,
where the sulphides come in. At
depths. however, the ore seems pri-
nal, no changes having taken place
So far the ore OF the entire camp
mills and concentrates satisfactorily.
st several properties cyaniding Is re-
sorted to to secure maximum extrac-
ton. but at most mines the ore is
miIled, run over plates for free gold
and concentrated on Wilheys. Inc
ores run from about 50 to as many
thousand. The ore is brittle and easily
miIIed. The Oputo district has wood
in abundance for all mining opera
tons, and there is water. This some
times must be Piped and pumped
some times packed on burros; but this
latter practice is poor economy. Mexi-
can miners are paid $2.50 p day
Mex and make good men Numbers
of Ya0ui Indians are employed, these
being better workmen and more trust
worthy than the Mexicans. The Ba-
vispe, a tributary OF the Yaqui river
drains the district Much agriculture
is forwarding in the small valleys
where the land Is extremely prolific,
and so the miners have the best in the
land. The rainy season begins In July.
May and June are the really hot
months of the year.
The companies and indivuals oper-
ating In the Oputo as well as otner
districts Of old Mexico simply go
ahead as they would in the United
states There are special conditions
there, as would be the case In any
country, but these are soon learned
and one has no trouble The Dawson
Gold Mining and Milling company is
the heaviest operator In the district
