ONE OF RICHEST COLD DISTRICTS
KNOWN IS IN THE FL PAS0 DISTRICT

10 stamp mill on the property. 1t is
one OF the few gold mines in the south
west that has done development work
and paid dividends from the grass roots
without taking out any ore other than
encountered in sinking and drifting In
1883 a cyanide teaching plant was
added The nearest reduction works
is at FL Paso, which is also the near
est point for supplies and machinery.
mis- property Is now owned by the
Rosedale Mining and Milling company,
OF which ]. P Worrell is president
W. A, Hamilton, vice president; George
Q. Dix treasurer. and secretary. Being
the leading property of the camp and
typical thereof, the description of it
will give an idea of the other claims
The two leading claims are the Great
London and the Rothschilds, and the
two mill sites, one of which is at the
mine and the other at an elevation
OF 1000 feet above the mine which
gives good working pressure furnish
ing power and saving expense of pump
ing power.
The mine is developed to a depth of
1872 feet. with Il levels so feet apart
and there is about 5000 feet of develop
ment, in wines and drifts. The mine
IS practically dry. only little water
being encountered at the bottom.
The ore deposits in the Sosedale
camp contain free milling ore In a
gangue of blush white quartz. carry
Of iron and manganese dioXide. The
latter appears to be associated with
the richer grades of ore. Repeated as
says OF the mill run are said to give
an average value of SO per ton in
gold Very little silver is present. The
ores occur in well marked fault fis-
sure vein in the rhyolite. The vein
ranges from three to five feet deep at
the surface. but is said to reach in
places width Of y feet below the
surface The strike of the vein is
north q degrees west and the dip is
so degrees west.
Geological Formation.
"Geologically," says ]. n. ~Batchelder,
mining engineer, who has completed an
examination of the district there
were two flows Of rhyolite the first
one of which was zoo feet thick. The
last flow has been nearly eroded. After
the first flow came a period of frac-
turing and faulting, and these became
channels for circulating mineralized
solutions The wall rock in place on
both sides of the fissure is only frac-
tured and these fractures permitted the
passage of the mineralized water into
the walls on either side and by re-
placement made them ore bearing
along the strikes for a considerable
distance. In a great many places it is
very hard to tell the difference be-
tween the non ore bearing and the ore
bearing rhyolite. F1uorite is often
Intimately associated with the silica"

Rosedale Field, Thirty Miles
Northwest of San Marcial,
Has Ore Averaging $40 a
Ton.
Ry L B. Davis.)

Probably one OF the richest Of gold
districts. and also the least known to
the outside world, is the Rosedale dis
-trict, situated on the northeastern
slope of the San MateO mountain range.
about Is miles southwest of Magdale-
ma, in the south central portion Of
SOcorro county, New Mexico, and about
80 miles west by little north of San
Marcial, on the Rio Grande and the
Santa Fe railroad, and 1Se miles north
Of FL Paso. Being off the main line of
travel probably accounts for so little
being said about it. The little town,
or mining camp, of ROSedale, a beau
tiful place, lies well within the re-
cesSes of the hills at an elevation OF
about Zoo feet above sea level. The
san Mateo mountains rise to an eie-
walton of 10, 600 feet, forming an east
ern elevation of the Rocky mountain
system and pass through the state in
southwestern direction.
The surface is one OF strong relief,
with scrub oak covering the lower
slopes and fairly good growth of
pinon, cedar and juniper on the higher
elevations Two miles east of Rose
dale the rugged hill country gives
place to the gradual gravel filled plain
which lies between the San Mateo
range and the Magda1ena range on the
northeast. This valley leads outward
to the southwest from the end of san
Augustine plain, to the Rio Grande
valley There IS a heavy annual rain
fall. of from eight to Is inches, which
accounts for the growth of timber and
grass on all the hillsides. There are
no constant streams, but there are
good springs in the mountains, afford
ing plenty Of water for all mining and
milling purposes. Magdalena, the near
est railroad point, is reached over a
good wagon and stage road, a distance
of only % miles to the northeast. A
branch Of the Santa Fe RAILROAD runs
from SocOrro to MagdaIena- It is 1SU

Gold Discovered In 1882.
Gold was first discovered in the San
MateO mountains in 1882, when a rush
10 the dieginEs followed, but was sum
marily checked by frequent raids of
the Apache indians under Victoria and
Geronimo After several massacres
most of the prOspectors left the coun-
try. The first discovery of gold was
made by Uncle" Jack Richards, on
what is now called the Rosedale mine.
This mine was afterward developed by

PUSHING WORK ON
new DOUGLAS SHAFT
Mining Activity in Miami
District Is Continuing;
New Mines Opened.

Miami, Ariz., Sept. 25.-The Douglas
Copper company. which owns over 15
claims in the Ray district. is pushing
work on its new shaft. At 40 feet the
same character of ore was encountered
as in the Magma at 400 feet, and as
the Magma is the richest producer IN
Arizona, the management feels greatly
encouraged. Considerably over ST., 1000
worth of work has been done on the
property. practically all of which is in
ore. a great deal of high grade baving
been opened up.

The Calumet and Arizona recently
bought the Consolidated Holdings ana
Trust company's property, which ad-
Joins the Douglas property, and is re-
ported to have acquired title to the

The American Smelling and Refining
company has secured control of the
Lake Superior and Arizona group and
is reported on excellent authority to
be arranging to erect a smelter on the
property.
In fact every property on or near
the line of the county road between
Ray and Superior is reported under ap-
ton or bought by the big copper in
terest, with the exception of the
Douglas, and president 7. c. Hendricks,
Of the Douglas company, leaves Globe

where it is understood a deal with
large copper interests will be consum-
mated
The Ell Paso & Southwestern rail-
road, it is said, will commence the
construction of a line from Superior to
Ray, running along the route of the
county road and through the Douglas
property on or about the first of the
year.
Work on Republic Pushed.
The New States Copper Mining and
claims in the Gold Gulch district. 10
miles southwest of here, is pushing
work on its Republic claim, opposite
the Castle Dome property. Oscar Scott
and a force of men are constantly en-
ployed doing development work on the
Castle Dome property. The Duquesne
property, adjoining the Castle Dome

and shipments resumed to the Ell Paso
smelter. The average returns on each
carload of ore shipped last spring were
5000 net. This is practically all gold.
The Johnville Mining company, own
ing eight claims adjoining the Du-
quesne, is constantly pushing develop
ment work on its property, over 800
feet of tunnel and shaft work has been
done, all of which show very crafty
ing results in gold and silver ore.

that as soon as the roads are repaired
he will make an initial shipment to the

Worlds Fair Mine, in Pata-
gonia Field, May Be Sold
to Copper Queen Co.

Bisbee, Ariz.. Sept. 25.-Negotiations
] are in progress for one of the most
important mine transfers and with one
| of the largest cash considerations
that has been known in the recent his
/ tory of Arizona The elimination of
the present negotiations satisfactorily
will mean the transfer of the Worlds
Fair mine in the Patagonia district, by
Frank Powers to tne Copper Queen
company, and the actual cash consid-
Grafton which is involved in the trans
action is said to be $500, 900. Daily
conferences have been held all of this
week at the offices of the Copper
Queen attorneys in this city between
the interested parties, and it is under
stood that a final agreement has
about been reached.
The Patagonia district, in which the
Worlds Fair property is located, was
one of the early mining sections of
Arizona, properties having been worked
there in the 70S. It was a silver camp
declined most of the mines were shut
down. Not so with the Worlds Fair,
which is remarkable in that it has al
ways been a one man proposition,
owned by Powers without associates
He stuck to his property, which he
started working in 1891 He has
amasSed fortune from it, despite low
silver prices. and now that the metal
has risen on the market he is not an
anxious Offerer of his property. He
will hold for his price and it is ex-
pected that the purchasing company
will ultimately come to his terms.
Expect Copper With Depth.
Very recently the Patagonia and
Harshaw districts, the latter being but
eight miles away and having been con-
sidered also a silver country, have
come into prominence as probable cop
per producers, it being indicated that
the silver will run to copper with
depth of development, and there being
no deep workings in either of the dis
tricts. Thus renewed attention has been
attracted TO that part Of Santa Cruz
county. While this is believed to DE
the reason for the Copper Queens In
terest in the property and desire TO
purchase it, copper indications have
not been notable in the property. At
the Worlds Fair there are workings
that are 500 feet in depth. These work
ings are still in sIlver and the mine is ,
a rich silver proposition today, and a
proved one. Adjacent to it, however,
is the Three r mine, which is now
shipping copper ore to Douglas at the |
rate of a so ton car day, and the Chef, !

Calamity Strikes Camp.
Unfortunately for the camp. when it
was in the height OF its prosperity and
profitable production the so ton mill
was destroyed by fire, which impeded
the growth of the camp. A similar
calamity befell the famous Common
wealth mine in Arizona, with similar
results, now happily surmounted by
the erection of a. new mill. The Rose
dale mill was one of the most modern
and up to date mills in the west. con-
sisting of 20 stamps, boilers, engine,
tube mill, crusher, classifier, Burt fill
ter, tanks, Pachuca agitators etc. For
tunately much of the machinery was
saved and can be repaired and used
again.
1t is the intention of the owners to
renistal the mill as the mine contains
large ore reserves
Ore Reserves.
The latest examination shows
blocked out in this mine 1O4,112 tons
of positive ore Of a gross value OF
S62S,405; and Of probable ore blocked
out or to be considered, there are u.s.
311 tons of the gross value of 1885,
IA. Mr.. Batchelder says that with
90 ton mill on the mine the ore can b.
delivered at the mill at 81 per ton and
that the milling and cyanide cost viii
be only $3.50 per ton. With a 100 ton
mill operating 800 tons per day for 800
days a year it will take four years to
exhaust the present known ore bodies
in sight in the mine. In addition to
these reserves there is also a slime
dump of 5000 tons. averaging $3.50 per
ton, which contains S13.50O. and a tails
dump containing $4,000 tons, worth
$87,5O0, that can be worked over and
saved.

Gibson Increases Production.
The Gibson mine, nine miles west OF
Miami is increasing its production and
shipments this month are expected to
amount to five or six cars of about 10
percent copper ore, as compared with
four cars in August. The ore is all
coming from The fourth level on the
PaSquale vein, " here five or six Slopes
are being worked and some new ore
shoots recently opened up. Drifting
south continues on the fifth level and
q raise is being driven TO the fourth,
but no important ore shoots have yet
been opened up on this level, though
the vein is mineralized and prospects
are considered very favorable for cut
ting ore in both the drift and the
raise. Three eight hour teams are en-
gagged in hauling the ore to Miami,
whence 1t is shipped by rail to the
Old Dominion smelrer at Globe. About
IS men are employed. Tip Henderson
