RETURNS
Crrom Tuesdays Daily

Returning from the camp If the
NJ. Elliott Consolidated Gold Mines
company in the Chaparral section.
last week, H. VIM. Stevens. the gen.
eral manager Of that syndicate, brings
excellent reports Of the progress Of
development. since inspecting the work
ings n few days ago The cutting
into of n new shoot Of rich ore be.
tween the 900 and 400 levels was
accomplished since his last trip, and
u was this determination that took
him to the camp. This ore was nit
on. the hanging wall, and an exploita.
tion goes on mt that point four feet
is shown, with the Zone as yet not
gone through. Wine sunk near this
point some weeks ago gave high
values. and vein Of six feet was
developed that ran ms high ms $50
in gold and silver. No assays as yet
but the character would indicate that
IL is equally as rich ms in the other
discovery. being heavy black sui.
phide, with very little quartz show
ing. This discovery materially
strengthens the property Mt the above
points, and its existence has created
considerable comment.
The company has outlined very
extensive plan Of exploitation. Two
points on the system are under head
way, the old and famed Ticonderoga
being the initial point for starting at
one place, while the Dividend IL the
center for tho connecting work to
bring both together. On the former
at the bottom Of the old shaft 200
feet deep. n drift is being run and
has reached point about 230 feet
long. At a point $50 feet in, cross.
cut is being run 10 cut through the
Independence and three other veins.
on the completion Of which the Divi.
dend ground will be reached, AID the
most extensive mine determination on
the group accomplished. This devel-
opment Is especially noteworthy, and
/. selves 4 problem cha. will result
in crystalizing the two mines into n
very desirable combination with the
intervening veins explored also.
On the old Dividend, the main
shaft has reached a depth Of 600
feet, and will be continued 10 700
feet Immediately. An upraise has
been started from the 500 TO the 400
10 make connection between the 300
and 400. II was at this point where
the above unknown ore body was
struck. After the 700 is reached the
intention is 20 start drifting and also
10 drift from the 900. Between walls
nj this point IL IL thirty feet, which
will give some idea Of the magnitude
of the showing that has resulted In
this deep work.
The method outlined by this com
pany is of noteworthy consideration
in practical mine work, and in which
they are governed by what has been
so signally shown at other camps in
solving a mineral proposition and
successfully proving the wisdom of
applying money. They intend to get
into the ground with depth. and TAX
ing this M guage of what has been
accomplished on the Little Daisy mt
500 feet, likewise the McCabe, the
the Arizona Central, and
many other mines that have reached
this significant depth, with gratifying
results, they feel satisfied at the pres
ent showing. and are encouraged 10
go still further into the ground. A
q pivot for determining extensive ore
bodies. this depth seems to be attend
ca Win success IN several instances
Of late, and from which the life of
the mines 10 measured in future re-.
gard.
The property Is being practically
handled and the management are sctu.
.ted with purpose Of permanent
development and large production.
Mr.. Stevens announces that by
May the electrical current of the
Arizona Power company will be In.
stalled at the works. The introduc. |
ton OF this service will facilitate
mine work and permit Of mill opera. |
lions with increased capacity, when a
lay and night shift will be started. In
reviewing the work Of the past few
weeks he feels elated and Is more
than satisfied at what has been nc.
not having anticipated the
terminating Of the development in
The attractive manner shown.
