RICH 0RE
 FROM C|NNABAR
President Sears Returns from Mines and Reports Indication Now is That Worlds Richest Quick silver is Found

| That their first expectations have l been more than realized and that | they surely have the richest quick silver properties in the world, is the announcement of President Sears of the SunfloWer Cinnabar Mining com pany, who in company with several | or his associates have just returned from the mines seventy-three miles northeast of Phoenix at the ex- 1 tremity of Maricopa county Bring l ing with them samples of the rich est ore found as we'll as quantity | of average ores, both President Sears and pr. John w. Foss, who is heav- l fly interested in the development of
 the mines, are satisfied that they have unearthed deposits of the valu- l able mineral which, upon proper
 working will give them the control
 of the quick silver market of the world
 Do not put it to4o strong" said Dr. Foss yesterday in discussing the
 result of the later explorations. Our claims are just so rich that if we were to come out and tell the whole | truth the general public would take | it all as a fairy tale. There is little 1 good to be gained from publicity at this time for we have about reached 1 that SIdSe WlIGIG NS VIII ASSO &4O dIu 1 from the outside to carry on the work and as soon as the mine is
 really being worked it will more than
 meet it's own expenses
 From MT Sears it is learned that l the recent trip to the property has revealed the presence in a single claim of a vein of richest ore ten feet wide, mounting 250 feet over a hin and coming out on the opposite side at a distance of about 2300 feet. | The same width seems to be main 1 tained throughout that entire dis tance
 Some of this ore will run as high | as $3O0O to the ton and there is lit
 tie or any that will fall below $4OO
 and $500 per ton. It seems like a 1 fairy tale to tell it. but we have ex-
 cellent reason with what is in sight
 to estimate that single vein to con
 tain more than s53 3OOOOO0 worth of
 marketable quicksilver.
 ! About TOO feet beyond this vein
 and apparently d continuation of it 1 is another deposit of rich ore of the same grade. We have made no par | ticular attempt to take out any ore from this vein although we can see | lthat it is rich beyond our dreams. | We propose to drive tunnels into l the hlIl, crOSSCuttlDS the DIE vein Land work it from the bottom up ward, shelving the ore down to the
 level. We may penetrate the hill at
 the top in various places for ventila- l tion purposes
 | Tn the near future we will have | a small retort working and will be | able to ship out the clear quick sil- yer. We have what is known as poor mans mine, in that it requires little work to get the rich mineral out There is no middleman. We can get the product out ourselves
 without depending upon reduction plants not located at our mines. We
 have no by-products to lose and to | profit the retOrt owners. We believe ! that in another month we will be shipping quick silver from our mines and that then the eyes of the world will be turned toward MaricOpa | county"
 l The ore brought to Phoenix by | Sears and his associates is probably 1 the richest ever found in any quick silver mine in the world According
 tn Sears every condition making for
 a rich quick silver mine is present | in the property of the Sunflower | Cinnabar company.
