GOSSIP OF THE COPPERS

ouincy.-The Quincy output Tor III

entire period viii fan short Of that o

The Quincy has not been amoni

reason that the losses incident 70 suel
action would b. 81 such volume as L
cut heavily into the slender margin o
profit afforded by a i-is cent meta
market
The success Of this company is de-
pendent largely on the handling OF a
maximum rock tonnage and the con-
slant exercising 81 the most vigilan'
economy IN every department The
shading of production would al once
be attended with advancing costs
which under the most favored con-
ditions. are relatively high.
The Quincy is operating four shafts
three Of which are supplying rock
from over a mile in depth. and the
fourth one from depth Of over 1000
feet. These shafts furnish an aggre-
gate OF about 400 tons Of rock daily
and when the hosting depth is con-
sidcred. also the copper content per
ton Of approximately 16 pounds, it viii
be seen that the marketing OF its out
put at total cost per pound Of about
10Ia cents Is "A most noteworthy
achievement Stamping costs DO not
exceed Is cents per ION.
Underground conditions at Quincy
present no new features worthy OF
mention New opening work is kept
well in advance. and its daily output
Is maintained without special effort.
II seems unnecessary 20 refer 20 its
efficient working organization and
splendid shaft equipment. as these fac
tors are reflected in the excellent re-
suits being secured.
No shaft Is supplying it's full quota
of rock. al cost probably lower than
that Of the older and deeper shafts.
The new 40. shaft is bottomed at n
depth OF about 1850 feet where occas-
ional traces Of copper are shown. The
proposed line OF this shaft has been
reached by a cross-cut extended
from No. s at depth Of / 800 feet.
This cross-cut revealed nothing in the
way Of copper values. As a matter Of
fact. the available data would indi-

north, from which IL appears
that at least two years viii clapse be-
fore this source becomes an active
factor No. shaft will command an
immense stretch Of virgin territory
Chino.-The results OF the recent
drill operations at the Chino are Of a
most favorable character, as apply
ing to both the quality and tonnage Of
new ore developed.
on the Pescado claim development
operations have apparently reached
the southerly limits Of the Carasco
ore body. which is numbered among
the companys most valuable assets.
Developments 10 the west on this ore
body continue highly favorable, par
ticularly on the Lorenzo claim, where
a recently drilled hole disclosed q !
thickness Of ore Of 159 feet containing !
"a per cent copper. Twenty five /
feet Of this hole shows a varying cop I
per content of from 10 ~ per cent |
The depth of Ovcrburdcn at this point |
IS but 60 feet. thus rendering possible
pre- cxtracation by means OF steam 4
fhovels.
Appearances indicate that further |
lrlling 10 tho north and west will add !
