This shaft would serve to prospect
the country rock to a depth of five
or six hundred feet before it would
enter the vein. My reason for be-
lieving this vein very valuable is that
all exposures made upon it, as stated,
show very rich carbonate copper ore
in punches and seams. The mass of
the vein, however, has been leeched
of its copper contents by perculating
water; consequently it's value will
not be determined until water level
has been reached.
The Josie and Monarch Frac-
ton veins are shown upon the
ground plan map. They form a juno
tfon upon the Monarch Fraction"
claim, at which place there is con-
siderable old workings from all of
which quite a quantity of high-grade
ore was extracted and shipped by
former owners. On the Josie"
claim, belonging to the Nevada Con-
solidated Copper Company, there is
an old incline shaft from which a
good deal of high-grade ore was
taken. The same general description
of the Clipper vein can be applied
to this vein also as well as the
Monarch vein. On this last named
vein a good deal of ore was taken
from the old works and shafts made
by former n l consider both
these veins-that is, the Josie vein
and the Monarch vein-as very
valuable and would recommend the
sinking of vertical shafts for their
development to water level to be To-
Gated as shown on the map, namely,
about three hundred feet west of
the veins. These shafts, like that of
the Clipper" vein, would prospect
the country rock before entering the
veins on their dip. All these veins
should, and will, in my opinion, carry
very high-grade ore after reaching
the sulphide belt at water level. The
ore will be self-fuxing and, conse-
quently, will be sent direct to the
shelters without any preliminary
treatment in concentrating mills.
On the "Chipsy," "Quartette,"
wabash" and Zip Top No. Q"
claims there are several very large
dykes crossing them in an easterly
and westerly direction. They are all
pOoi Ah6 LII II 10 NV lLhPiOO-
able that in depth many valu-
able ore chutes may be developed in
them.
ASSURED ORE RESERVES.
The only actual ore reserves at all
developed upon the property is con-
tanned in that portion lying between
the steam shovel pit and your eastern
line going toward the Star Pointer
shaft, which, as already stated, is
eighteen hundred feet long by twelve
hundred feet in width and two hun
dred feet thick. Should these dimen-
sions be maintained on full develop
ment through YOU ground, they
would give the following results:
1900 x 1900 X 200-432,0 100000
cubic feet, divided by 10 cubic feet
for a ton of ore gives 33,23O,769 tons.
Whether on full development the
above dimensions will be maintained
or not (and l am impressed that
they will be-, there will be no doubt
whatever that the area under discus
sion will contain a great many mil
ion IONS of commercial ore.
PROSPECTIVE VALUES.
The prospective value of the prop
erty consists of the following:
The possibilities of discovering a
large area of steam shovel mining
ground extending from the Tut
wiler' claim OF the east to your west
ern side-lines, of the existence of
which there are many indications, as
cited in the body of this report, and
also in a ~south-easterly direction
from the "Tutwiler" claims toward
the Star Pointer shaft.
The three fissure veins, namely,
the Clipper" "Josie," and "Mon-
arch" should, and I believe will all
develop at water level into big pro-
ducers of high-grade direct smelling
ore.
The great dykes or veins which
cross the southern end of the prop
critics may develop at depth into
valuable mines.
COST OF PRODUCING COPPER.
I consider it of vital Importance, in
order to obtain the greatest possible
net results from your mines, that
your company W your W reduc-
ton works
CONCLUSION.
There is enough ore practically as
sured from present development to
make of this a large mine, and the
prospective values are such that on
full development they should, and in
my opinion place this property in the
rank of one Of the largest and best
dividend payers (of the same acre
age) now being worked, if ably man.
aged and properly equipped as stated
above.
