per. although this was-not an average
sample. But taking into consideration
the fact that these samples came from
depth of not more than 80 feet below
the surface ii shows great values in
these veins. The average value of the
ore runs about $4,000 to the ton. A
shaft was started on this vein in the
upper tunnel at six feet of deuth the
water flow was too much to handle
without pumps.
On the east end of the Galera bunch
there is a small cone shaped hill which
rises 80 feet above the surrounding
part of it and ii is about 400 feet wide
at the base, in this hill there runs five
distinct veins, all running directly to
the center of this hill or Iron hat"
Under this iron hat several prominent
mining engineers and biologists have
predicted an immense body of silver
copper ore. There is now a tunnel in
this hill on ore vein of good ore 215
feet wide This ore can be shipped at
the present time at a good profit.
The main tunnel will cut this hill at
a depth of 480 fee and when it is cut
stock will go to $4,000 a share beyond a
L.
is the Tharsis York company which will
also be cut by this main tunnel for a
distance of 900 feet when the tunnel
will tap the Copper King Block at near
ly a depth of 1000 feet
The Copper King Block consists Of
thirty five acres and is on the Pilares
vein which is being developed and
worked by the Pilares EsperanZa and
Don Juan shafts of the Phelps Dodge
company and also by the Tharsis York
people who have two shafts and two
tunnels on their property.
The Copper King Block shows the
vein to be a matriX of bTecciated rhy-
olite full of pyrite and chalcocite, the
same kind of ore that the great Pilares
is pouring out every day. The vein on
the Copper King Block shows width
of 500 feet. every foot being in good
concentrating ore
The Copper King alone is big mine
in itself and after being tapped 1000
feet below the groupings and worked by
the cut and fill system without tim
bers. pumps or hoists, and with cheap
labor Just think of the enormous profits
that will be derived therefrom.
The present main tunnel is in Ga
feet and has only a few feet farther to
go before penetrating the foot wall
vein of the Galera group and will give
some 300 feet or more over this tun-
mel right on the jump.
This tunnel will also be used as a
ROYALTY tunnel and should in a few
years pay for itself as there are
number of promising properties just
above the Copper King Block, all of
them will be greatly benefited by this !
tunnel both in water drainage, OF haul |
age and ventilation. This tunnel can
be completed with various cross cuts
and stations for $4,000 and in less
time than they think of sinking a shaft. |
At the present time the tunnel is going |
right along with the use of hand steel. |
but the company is contemplating in
stalling an air compressor and and put |
ting in air drills in the place of hand |
steel. There are ample funds in the |
treasury at present to purchase all !
needed machinery but Mr.. Alexander !
wants TO be sure TO keep them going /
along before he purchases, so he can /
reach the Copper King Block and show
to the world what a rich proposition !
the Nacozari Consolidated Copper COM
pany is AS have all ready answered |
some of the letters asking about this
company and have written about the
same description hope the Douglas and
Bisbee stockholders will read this and
try and realize what they have and my
advice is to hold on to every share
owned AS for myself / am not out
boosting to sell out, but only in justice
