ANOTHER GREAT MINING PROJECT
 ORGANIZED FOR GLOBE DISTRICT

The formation of the mountains has brought about the uplifting effect caused by the intrusion of the granite. To this intrusion of the granite must also be ascribed the folding, faulting, Assuring, the contact phenomena, and the mineralization. Hawk canyon was created by large fault traceable some miles. The formation north of the fault has been displaced along its con tact to the depth of about l,500 feet. There appears to be no evidence of faulting subsequent to the formation of the veins and the deposition of the ore. The faulting and Assuring have, however, to great extent in tluenced a deposition of the ore bodies.
 s'The quartzite stratifed zone is some 400 feet in thickness. The overlying carboniferous limestone is more than 600 feet thick. The Assures and faults form perfect system of enclosed veins having trend northwest and south east, six veins traversing the claims, from 4,000 to 6,000 feet in length and averaging about six feet in width. In many places the lime contact has be- NOho hVdNip iihplCSudIcl Nilh CoppSi ore from fifteen to thirty feet in width. These veins parallel each other in a perfect system ranging from 600 to 1000 feet apart.
 The geological description given above is doubly interesting in that it not only gives an accurate idea of the formative conditions of the partic- ular property in question, but is a comprehensive survey of the general formation of the Stanley Butte mining district which may henceforth be ex- pected to develop into one of the great est mineral producing regions of Ari- 2ona.
 Soon Begin Development
 Preparatory to beginning the under ground development of the property, a corps of surveyors has been employ ed under the direction of E. A. Ken- nedy, formerly engineer of the Copper Quen company of Bisbee, and has near ly completed survey of the entire group.
 The plans which the management of the Copper Reef Consolidated Mines have made for development provide for lht SiuhlHS Ol two Sudl Us UH lut Hldlu lead about. 2,500 feet apart and the driving of a tunnel the portal of which will be nearly mile below in the can yon. The shafts will be used for working purposes and the tunnel will tap the main vein at a depth of about 1900 feet. Two forty horsepower hoists for use in shaft sinking have already been ordered and should be on the ground before the end of this month. At present a force of men is at work building road from San Carlos to the proposed camp site which is To- cated midway between the two shafts. This road will be completed within ten days.
 The ore so far developed on the prop erty of the Copper Reef Consolidated Mines is chiefly high grade consisting of oxidized material, chalcopyrite, bor mite and malachite. The average assay shows the content to be six per cent copper, $4 in gold, and from five to twenty-eight ounces in silver to the ton.
 With all the essential particulars con corning this new property presaging the ultimate development of one of the greatest mining enterprises in Arizona, future operations on this immense group of eighty mineralized claims will be watched with intense interest by those who have the welfare of Globe at heart as the future Butte of the south west.
