Hull Copper Deal

Save for minor details, the deal is
practically closed whereby G. w. Hull
transfers his mining holdings in the
Verde district to the Clark interests.
One million dollars is said to be the
amount involved, and in consideration
therefor Hull turns over his individ-
ual holdings and likewise his control
ing interests in the Hull Copper, Con-
solidated King, Columbia and Cleo
patra Mining companies. Deeds have
already been issued transferring
Hull's individual holdings to the
Clarks, and the passing to them of his
controlling interests in the companies
mentioned is said to be assured. In
fact, it is probable the deal will have
been closed before these dispatches
are in type.
It is not, however, so certain that
the United Verde Copper company, as
such, will take over a controlling in
terest in the Hull corporations as soon
as the pending litigation is settled, re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding.
From apparently authentic sources of
information it is ascertained that
Charles w. Clark, son of former Unit
ed States Senator w. A. Clark, owner
of the United Verde mine, will soon
take over HulPs shares, as trustee. He
will then become the controlling stock
holder and will replace Hull in the
pending litigation. When matters are
finally adjudicated by the courts the
Hull Copper, Columbia, Cleopatra and
Consolidated King will be refnanced
independently of the United Verde
company. Ultimately, however, the
properties will doubtless become a
part of the United Verde estate.
August l is the date set for start
ing the oil-hotation mill of the Stand
ard Reduction company, designated
for treatment of the ores of the Cop
per Queen Gold and StOddard Mines
companies. Development of both
mines is underway and is being
pushed by three shifts of miners.

who is promoting a smelter PROPOSE

Gated in the Groom Creek district and

PRESCOTT, Ariz., July 11.-Hav-
ing successfully staged a four-day
Fourth of July celebration to an ac-
compartment Of powder and noise
such as our grandsires pulled off when
they were boys; given ear to the read
ing of the Declaration, and been told
for the 'steenth time how our ances-
tors stern will drove the redcoats
three times down renowned Bunker
Hill, the people of Prescott and of
Yavapai county in general have again
taken up the quieter pursuits of their
every day life, chief of which is min
ing.
Over in the Verde copper belt, for
which the camp of Jerome is the buck
lie and Quitting point, the work of
unwatering the shaft sunk by former
owner-Haynes Copper-on the prop
erty of the Jerome Victor Extension
Copper company is being accomplished
at the rate of about 100 feet per week.
This work is necessarily slow, as a
great deal of water accumulated in
the workings during several years of
inactivity, filling the drifts, crosscuts
and shaft from the lower, or 1200-foot
level, to above the 50-foot level and
forming an immense underground
reservoir. For a period of seven
weeks water has been hoisted with
out intermission, with the result that
the workings are now available to q
point below the 550-foot level. As
soon as the workings are entirely
freed fro mtheir overburden of H20,
the management viii put on three
shifts of miners and proceed to de-
Yelop the mine.
Operations at the Jerome Victor are
in charge of George w. Salisbury, who
for a number of years was a member
of the engineering staff of the great
United Verde property, which adjoins
the Jerome-Victor on the west. Sails
bury brings to the development of the
latter the knowledge of the ore de-
positions of the Verde district gained
during his service in the United
Verde, and is unquestionably the best
man for the work at hand that could
have been selected, as he is thorough
" conversant with the trend Of the
lower ore bodies in the United Verde
and their relation to similar ore bodies
at depth in the Jerome Victor. He has
a crew of miners at work repairing
the shaft from surface to the 550-foot
level and will continue this work at
lower levels as fast as they are IN
watered.
He has ample funds with which to
prosecute work and as soon as is
practicable will resume operations on
the 12O0-foot level. The former own
er had driven a lateral 100 feet at this
point when lack of funds forced a
shutdown. 1t is believed that fur
ther work there will at least serve
as a guide to operations at greater
depth; and it is not improbable it will
result in the discovery of pay copper
ore. The real objective is, however, a
depth of 1900 feet, as it is known that
ore was stopped up to or very close to
the line Of the Jerome Victor property
on the 150O-foot level of the United
Verde mine. The plant Of machinery
installed by the Haynes people is be-
ing utilized for present needs. but

A Reversal of Form


Developments OF the past IA months
on the property of the United Verde
Extension company Oittle Daisy
have revealed geological conditions
which tend to set at naught former be-
liefs regarding the ore dispositions of
the Verde district. By the foregoing
is meant that the ore bodies in the
United Verde Extension mine were
encountered on the hanging wall side
of the north fault, the discovery being
contrary to all former precedents and
disclosing ore which carries 40 per
cent copper in shipping lots and a gen.
eral average of 20 per cent copper.
The United Verde Extension is billing
weekly to smelter from five to eight
carloads of from 20 to 40 per cent
copper ore. This same fault passes
through the property of the Jerome
Victor Extension company. No work
was, however, done on this portion of
the acreage by the Haynes people. It
is almost needless to add that the
present management will take advan-
tage of this recent remarkable disclo-
sure in the Verde Extension workings.
A contract has been let for sinking
the main working shaft on the c. B.
S. property an additional 100 feet. The
acreage is located in the Copper Basin
district, where are also located the
Commercial mine-shipping 100 tons
of copper oxides daily-the Iona
Prieta-showing 20 feet of chalcopy-
rite in its shaft-the Schuber Copper,
the Copper Hill, and the McNulty &
Mcbride holdings. all of which appear
to be in line for production after the
necessary amount of development has
been done. Copper Basin is directly
tributary to Prescott and is considered
to be the most promising copper ore
section in Yavapai county, aside from
the famous Verde district. R. NJ. Mar
tin, owner of the c. B. s., is said to
have one of the best copper ore show
ings Ill the Basin, and this opinion has
been strengthened by disclosures in
the old workings, which were recently
cleaned out and placed in working or
der.
Six hundred thousand tons of ore
are blocked out on the 1400-foot level
of the United Verde Extension mine.
A careful sampling of this large ton
mage shows that it averages 16 per
cent copper to the ton. 1t has been
developed by about 1000 feet of lat
eral work and by two upraises of 100
feet each. A Wine is being sunk near
the center of this ore body, the objec-
tive being a depth of 200 feet. The
management has in view the sinking
of a new double compartment shaft,
to be used exclusively for hosting
ore. Upon completion of this shaft
and of the WINE before referred to,
the shaft on the company's Edith
claim will be sunk to the sulphide ore
area.
Approximately 1000 tons of ore car
rying an average of 20 per cent cop
per is being shipped to smelter each
month from the Verde Extension prop
erty. The net prOfss unerefrom for
several months past have been about
S35O,OO0 per month. The company has
cash on hand totaling S799, s82.72, and

MILL MACHINERY IS
BEING INSTALLED

The mill building of the Arizona
Butte Mines company at Stockton Hill
is completed and the machinery is
now being assembled there. The big
truck is going out daily with heavy
loads of machinery. 1t is expected
that the plant will be in readiness for
work by the first of August.
Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1916-07-15

has due it from ore shipments approx
imately $1,OOO,OOO, making a grand
total of S1,793,882.72. Despite this
large reserve, it has been decided to
accumulate an even larger surplus for
the purpose of developming the mine
and building a smelter for the reduc-
ton of the company's ores. Quarter
" dividends of so cents per share will,
however, not be affected by this deci-
sion.
