The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1910-06-17

producers of the Globe district, the
sinking of the third churu drill hole
is under way. This hole is already
225 feet deep and is being put down
on the Winnie claim, west of the
second churn drill location, and about
700 feet north of the Scorpion claim
on which the Inspiration Copper COM
! pany is now doing development work
in good grade of sulphide ore. Ga
the $50 and 3OO-foot levels of the
mine. ore is being stopped for ship
ment to the Ell Paso smelter. At
present these shipments amount to
from 90 to 100 tons of ore daily and
the average copper content is being
maintained as usual at about 9. 5 per
cent.
Florence Blade-Tribune: Supt. F.
S. Hoyt, of the Superstition Noun
tain mining company, came down
TO Florence, and went on to the Sasco
smelter. We bad a brief talk with
him while here and learned that the
test run of the company's milling
plant was gratifying success. Con-
centrates turned out averaged 502 -
ounces silver and Sc gold per ton, and
26 per cent. copper and 80 10 per
cent. lead. This product results
from a concentration of about eight
tons of ore into one ton of concen-
trates. In combined values the con-
centrates are worth about S341 per
ton. This is eptionally high grade
concentrates, and will attract atten-
tion among mining men.
Kingman Miner: NJ. A. Moore,
general manager of the Dixie Queen
mining company, arrived in Kingman
with his big auto truck, on which he
is having some repairs made. The
trip from Chloride was made in less
than three hours. Mr.. Moore has
been using the truck to do all the
heavy freighting between the mines
and Chloride and has hauled as high
as seven tons on the machine. The
road across the valley is quite sandy,
but the machine with its big load of
freight negotiates the sand patches
without visible trouble. A more thor
ough trying out of the machine will
be watched with interest by mining
men and if it is found to do the bust
ness it is probable that more of the
machines will be put in.

Prescott.
j. II. Boyd, of Spokane, who owns
the Santa Maria mine nine miles
from Hillside, has now completed the
installation of pumping plant to
convey water to the 10 stamp mill
from the Santa Maria river, a dis
ta1ce of one and oue-half miles, with
a lift of 900 feet, and the mill will
now be put in operation.
The Nevada Arizona Copper COM
pany has applied for patent on sixty
three of its claims thirty miles west
of Hillside. This being the greatest
number ever patented in Arizona by
one company. The company owns a
total of $500 acres and is controlled
by Joseph L. Giroux and associa ties
OF Los Angeles, who have carried out
plan of systematic development by
tunnels and shafts opening up large
bodies of disseminated chalcocite.
A large area has also been explored
by churn drills. To place the prop
erty on a producing basis railroad
must be built from Seligman seventy
miles.
The old Henrietta mine about
thirty miles south of Prescott by
rail has now commenced to ship about
$4,000 tons of tailings to the United
Verde smelter which are said to be
SO per cent. silica and carry 81 gold.
These will take the place of the bar
rem silica which the United Verde
company has been securing from the
Mill mine near Mayer.

At the Copper Queen the concrete
foundation for the new air-compress-
or is completed and the compressor
will soon be placed. The Holbrook
shaft has holed through from the 600
to the 500-foot level. The hoist is
now being completely overhauled and
the electric pumps moved from the
500 to the 6O0-foot level where all
pumping will now be done for that
shaft. At the Sacramento the pock-
cts on the 1600-foot level for the load
ing of the skips, is about completed.
In the Sacramento tunnel, the miners
are again in porphyry, after going
some ground. Crosscutting
will soon be started on the leached
ground. In the drift A on the 1900
foot level operations are almost sus-
pended until the electric cable for
the pumps on that level arrives, as
more water is now encountered. In
the Mammoth tunnel nothing encour-
aging has been found.
At the Calumet & Arizona a new |
body of sulphide ore has been opened |
up on the 1850 foot level of the !
oliver shaft, which averages a triae
