THE "OLD HINCKLEY"
Famous Producer in Early Days
Coming to the Front Again
The Country Around Twin Peaks
And Apache Box Canyon
by CndS. "A, DlnSlnOfe.
Hinkley Is an Old Mine


The mine is one of the oldest
in this section Of the country,
and was at one time a heavy pro-
ducer. The property is a portion
of very large quartzite dyke
which outcrops across the country
a distance of over six miles and
which is never less than 20 feet
wide. 1t is lost in the Twin Peaks
on the north and a short distance
beyond the Hinckley on the south.
It carries value all the way, from
40c up, all in gold and silver.
There has been little development
on the north end which is owned
by Mr.. Wagner, and by the Twin
Peaks Mining Company.
Of Volcanic Origin
The part Of Steeple Rock dis
trict comprising the American
Exploration & Mining Compan's
properties (the Hinkley mines)
can be described a great ampi-
theater or basin Of volcanic orig
in, 2 miles in length northwest
and southwest and l 1-2 miles in
width. Surrounding this basin
are high precipitous mountains,
whose summit are about 1000
feet above the floor of the basin.
The mountains forming the Wes-
tern and southwestern RIM of this
basin are in the main a tertiary
granite (mal pais) cut in different
directions by large dykes of gran
ular white quartziCe. On the
slope passing into an incline or
mesa some II miles in length re-

Apache Box Canyon
About three miles from Twin
Peaks and eight miles from
Steeple Rock, is what is locally
known as Apache Box Canyon,
so named because the Apache
Indians had a stronghold in the
early days, and in this canyon
was fought the last battle of this
section. Here is located what is
called the Orc Grande mine, the
owners being John A. Campbell |
Of Douglas, w. P. Craig and
Ollie Phillips Of Bisbee, and O. H.
Bean, formerly Of Cananea..
Much Work Has Been Done
On the Hinckley, however,
there is a great quantity of work
done, and a very fine plant in
operation, including engins, COM
pressors, air drills, etc. Much
this ore was shipped recently to
the Shannon smelter and later
considerable to the Copper Queen
at Douglas; but as the haul is a
very long and hard one it is best
to put in a mill and produce con-
centrates. So Mr.. Burnham is
attending tc that business right
now.
Burnham in Ell PasO
w. Franklin Burnham, manager
of the Old Hinckley mine at
Clear Lake, some five miles from
the Twin Peaks mine, is in El
Paso. He went to the Mogollon
district about a week ago to look
into the milling practices there.
A mill is to be put in at Hinckley
without delay, as ore developed
iustifies it. The mill will prob
ably be built in Ell Paso, Secre-
tary Morris Parker of the Ell Paso
Foundry having visited the pro-
perty a week ago.
Considerable excitement has
resulted from this discovery prin-
cipally because Mr.. Craig is a
we'll known and conservative en-
gineer, and Mr.. Campbell is a
man of considerable means and
much knowledge Of mining. The
