MEN WITH LINITED means
STRIKE IT RICH IN COPPER
Gibson Copper Mine, in the Globe District Which Was
Started With $50 Cash by Samuel L. Gibson and
William Henderson, and Which Later Yielded
Fortunes, Is an Inspiration to Miners
By L. H. DAVIS.

It is a common saying that copper
mining Is not a poor mans proposition,
and that only big companies chm sec
cessfully mine copper. There are some
striking examples of the fallacy Of this
idea
What men of limited means can DO
with a good copper prospect is well
illustrated in various districts in Ari-
iona, and perhaps there is no better eX-
ample than the Gibson copper mine in
the Globe district of Arizona. The
story of its discovery and development
is an inspiration to every miner and
prOspectOr-
Started With 800 Cash.
About 10 years ago Samuel l. Gibson
and William Henderson began opera
tions on a claim called the Summit,
which belongs to the Gibson group,
their entire capital being, It is said
only $50 cash and two brOncOs. They
had taken a bond on the property for
$1,000. There was a 40-fOot shaft on
the claim They put a windlass on it
and sunk to the 100-fOOt depth and
there put up a whip and continued sink
ing until they installed a gasoline
hoist and finally a double drum steam
hoist. Soon after they located three
more claims and later on they bought
the Pascual group Of four claims, and
still later the Reynolds group OF four
claims, and several other claims. The
property, collectively called the Gibson
mine, has been one of the most re-
markable mining properties of Arizona,
as il has not only paid expenses Of de-
velOpment from the grass roots, but

UNCOVER GOLD IN
ARIZONA NINE
4. VIIlman Makes Strike In the Cold
field District of Pfnal County.
Northeast Of Mammoth.

A Vulman, who has struck sold In
the Goldfield district in Pinal county,
Arizona, spent about $4,000 in develop
ment work, and recently started a cross
cut from the 16O-fOOt level in a shaft
sunk in one of his claims. Fifteen
feet OF work was all that was neces-
sary to reach the ore, but that Is feet
required nearly three weeks of hard
work, as the pOrphyry through which
he was drifting was very difficult to
handle. The vein discovered is gold
bearing quartz and is fun of free gold.
Meanwhile on another claim nearby
another gold ledge has been opened uD
for six feet and the hanging wall has
not been reached. As this ledge can
be traced along the surface the fun
length of the claims, it is probable
that other similar rich ore shoots viii
be opened up.
The new strike is to the north and
east of the Mammoth and was discOv-
cred only by persistent prospecting.
The geological formation was at first
battling, as the ground was new to the
disCOverer. Nulman now feels that he
has something that can not escape him.
The opening OF a big pay mine at Cold
field will be a great boost for the Mesa
section and to southeastern Arizona
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-10-26

yielded large fortunes to the original
owners. Gibson and Henderson.
In 1906 they organized d company
under the laws of Arizona called the
Gibson Copper Co, which took over
the mines. Prior to 1909 Gibson and
Henderson owned most of the shares of
stock, but since then Boston people be-
came interested with them.
The physical condition of the prop
erty is good. There is Approximately
three miles of underground workings,
in drifts and CrOSs-cuts. The three
compartment shaft is down to the sixth
level, or a depth of $50 feet. The mine
equipment consists principally of a
14X16 Vulcan dOuble-drum, geared hoist
air compressor, two 200 horsepower
boilers, pumps, and the cost of this
equipment and other surface improve
ments, such as buildings, has been
about $4,000.
Has Produced Over Million.
The Gibson mine. while somewhat
intermittent in production, nevertheless
has, during its life from May, 1904, to
the first of the present year, produced
in gross values Sl,5S4,5SS.56, and of
net smelter returns $1,O04,912.OL Al
though the Gibson Copper CO. was or
gained in 1906, yet Gibson and Hen
dcrsOn had up to that time been tax
ing ore from the property as lessees
and owners and had delivered to the
Old Dominion Smelter ores III gross
amounting to S421 ,99L23, and for which
they had received in cash S253, 194-I4.
Besides this they had shipped cOnsid-
cradle ore to the FL Paso smelter.
