raising and sub-drifting ia this area
resulted in the hnding Of only small
bodies of ore. This region was there
fore abandoned.
In the extreme point OF the Senator
claim. between the 1850 and $50 foot
levels, some low grade oxide ore was
found. which has been stopped through
oat the year. Some work was also
done at this point on the 1l5G. 1850
and l450foot levels. but nothing was
found.
The most important find during the
year. was near the west end OF the
Senator claim, where cross-cut on
the 1250-foot level. and a cross-cut on
the 1350-foot level found SO foot
stretches OF sulphide ore, which
opened UP well with stopping. II Is
probable that al this point there will
be considerable ore TO Slope during
the coming year.
On the Buckeye claim. considerable
drifting on the 1150, 1850 and 1850
foot levels was done, but without sue
cess in finding ore, excepting some
good extensions OF the big sulphide
ore body at the east end O fthe claim
on the 1850 and 145O-foot levels.
wAsHfNGToN-ANGEL GROUP
During the past year the Copper
Queen Consolidated Mining company
has been successful in finding eonsid-
cradle ore in the porphyry stock
forming Sacramento Mill in close
proximity 10 the above group. This
encourages us to believe that ore
may be found upon tina. portion Of
the Washington-Angel group living TO
the west Ct the dividend Fault.
COURT AND EXPLORATION In
order e take advantage o. the profit
allie market lCr copper and supple
ment our diminishing reserve If OK
ide ores IN Bisbee our CORTLAND
mines were re-openad on the first day
Of July. Ii was necessary TO construct
a new gaIlows frame at that point.
and in the interests of economy OF
oneration, the sawmill and black
smith shop at the April Fool shaft
were moved to a convenient spot near
the Germania shaft. Shipments aver
aging 500 tons a week we're started
from the mine on the 10Th day Of
July. and have continued regularly
since. , -Er-
The amount OF available ore left In
the mine is approximately -3,ole tons
that will average 5Ts copper. We eX
pect 70 find small extensions OF pres
ent known ore bodies. but the finding
OF new ore bodies at this point IS
doubtful
AJO EXPLORATIONS-The work
o, blocking out ore on . number OF
the New Cornelia Copper Company
claims in the Aio District, ina Coun-
~. Arizona. referred to in the report
Of 1911, has progressed steadily and
satisfactorily by diamond drilling and
test pitting The grade and tonnage
has been only partially checked.
The carbonate ores will require the
development of a new process lof
treatment, probably teaching. and the
sulphide ores, being in the forms OF
finely disseminated chalcopyrite, viii
also require the development OF a new
process. An experimental corps has
been organized and engaged In this
work for several months, and has
met VIII Sl-AE AtS'aAto
Two fractional claims Lave been
purchased in this district during the
year and options taken on 10 addi-
tional claims II the development OF
processes for the treatment Of these
ores is satisfactory this property will
make a valuable open pit mine.
PINAL COUNTY EXPLORATIONS
= satisfactory option. requiring no
payments down for two years, was
taken during the year on the Daggs-
Newman group of claims in the Pho
neer District. Pinal County. Arizona
consisting of 63 claims Options were
also taken on 20 additional outlying
claims. and work started IN the sink
inL of a three-compaTtment shaft on
the property. and in driving a tunnel.
The shaft will be sunk 10 probable
depth of 600 feet. the anticipated ore
horizon. before drifting t. done. The
tunnel must be driven. probably 500
feet. before any results can be ex-
pected at that point.
This property lies approximately a
mile and half south OF the rich
Magma mine At the present, time
there is a force OF approximately for
ty-seyen men employed on this work.
A satisfactory power contract has
been negotiated vita the Ray Consoli-
dated Copper Company. and a high
tension electric power line viii soon
be completed from the Ray power
house TO the location fine shaft. a
distance Of IL miles. which will be OF
great assistance in the development
OF the property.
MECHANICAL
There were no changes in the sur
face equipment OF the Calumet & Arr
zona Mines during 1912.
IRISH NAG SHAFT-We resumed
hosting to surface. at the irish Mas
Shaft, May 9Th. to relieve the conges
ton at the Oliver Shaft due 10 the
hosting Of increased tonnage of Cole
ore at that point. The timber is still
framed at the Oliver fsagmiIl and
lowered through the Oliver shaft for
