Calumet and Arizona. Bisbee. Ariz.-
This property adjoins the Copper Queen
mine, and constitutes the company's
most important producer. The ores,
which are direct smelling, assaying
about percent copper, occur in the
limestone.
In addition to the rich oXidized ores
the property contains large quantities
of low grade sulphides, averaging 8
percent copper. These ores are not be-
ing worked at the present time. but
undoubtedly will be treated eventually.
The property is developed by two
oh he Tr;c
and the Oliver, which has attained
depth of approximately 1850 feet.
new shaft, the Hope and Wagner, is
now being sunk.
The Calumet and Arizona property is
worked in conjutcion with the Superior
and Pittsburg, and the ores are mixed
in such proportions as to make a self
fluxing material The property at pres
ent is producing about 100000 pounds
of copper per month.
CORTLAND Property-The develop
ments at this property, located in the
heart of the new camp OF CORTLAND.
are very encouraging, and from present
appearances the mine should become
valuable asset of the Calumet and Ari-
IONA company. This property has been
rapidly developed by three main shafts
and a large amount Of drifting. The
ores are of a smelling character, said
to assay approximately z percent. The
average thickness of the deposit is 80
feet. Owing TO the occurrence of these
ores in blanket formation they should
be mined chea1o. and considering the
grade, copper should be produced at a
low figure.
Mammoth Group-This property is de-
veloped by two shafts 400 feet deep.
and shows good concentrating material,
assaying rs percent copper. Work has
been suspended at one shaft, while the
other is being sunk TO the 500 foot
level.
