THE PROPERTY OF THE BIS

,,.-, ,,-t;.;l.-. o1.f,,,- ,o,,

properties. the North Butte and tn
Eureka. The claims form one grou
and are three miles northwest of tn
loEn Of Bisbee- The group consist
OF Is claims Ct so by 1900 feet
The total area cotered is close to-
see acres.
HISTORY.
The property seems to have been
first worked by a party of Italian
miners shortly after the discovery
of Tombstone some twenty-five
years ago. They were sal dto hav
been looking for silver ores and di
sever al hundred feet Of exploratio
work In the Eureka portion of tn
property. which is nearest Bisbee,
several shnfts have been sunk, som
OF tbem over ZOE feet indepth on
copper outcuops. and some copper
ore was shipped from this ground 10
the Copper Queen Smelter in Bisbee
Vita one excetion these shafts are
aow full OF water In the Bisbee
Coalition ground, in the northern
para Of the property, several tunnels
have been run and two shafts sunk.
the latter being full Of water. In
all I would estimate that over 1000
feet of work tuaneling and sinking
have been done on these claims.
MINING POSSIBILITIES.
The property is OF interest as q
prospect on scoount of its proximity
TO the graf mines Of Bisbee which
are only two or three miles away.
I've Bisbee copper ores as worked
IN the Copper Queen, Calumet and
Arizona. and other mines in the
town occur for the most part a.
large irregular masses lying gener
alta parallel to the bedding planes
A the boundaries of the ore bodies
they shade OF into more or less al
tered lin estone formation.

Copper Queen mIae. the Dividend

sfcEe on one side. and Pinal shist'
N the other large ore bodies are
worked in the limestone along thii
fauit. hut they do not appear to b
found on the north side of the faui

The Bisbee Coalition propert5
covers a granite schist contact. Their

ersHzaticn and several very strikinl
oufcrops of copper ore on the claims

other camps. there is good reasoi
Ia expect to 0ud copper ore bodies

believe the ground to be worthy o
additional exploration work for thes'
