Miami, Ariz-, May 22--Patrick P. Sui
livan, one Of the best known mining
men in the Globe and Miami districts,
and his co-owners in a group Of p
claims that adjOin the Inspiration and
Warrior properties, are conducting ne
gotiations for the churn drilling Of
their ground. The Sullivan ground lies
north and west OF the warrior and
north and west Of the Inspiration, their
south end line being about 800 feet
north Of the east and west main shafts
Of the Inspiration and about 500 feet
northeast Of the Black Copper shaft Of
the same company Sullivan says they
expect TO tap by churn drilling the
Black Warrior core dipping west be-
schist foot wall. The diabase, however,
really is the copper bearing body itself
showing thorough dissemination Of cop
per mostly in the form of chrySocOlla.
Warrior Contact Splits
The Warrior contact, the strike Of
which runs through the Tecumseh claim
OF the Sullivan group, breaks or splits
one section running through the group
in a northwesterly direction and the
other holding course Of about due
north, still with the dacite hanging
wall The strike Of dacite, diabase and
schist contact starts north Of Miami
near the site Of the International smell

Geneva, Black Warrior and continues
through the Sullivan property. The 9TH

has been developed by tunnels and open
cuts, showing considerable copper and
copper stain even on the surface, IN
some spots assaying from five TO eight
percent This vein or mineralized con-
tact zone is about 200 feet wide, the
hanging wall side being monzOnite
granite, porphyritic schist foot wall
This vein runs parallel with the May
and June claims OF the Black Warrior

Black Warrior vein about the center Of
the Belle claim OF the Sullivan group
Sullivan says they viii drill this vein
