mining World)


That there are many queer quirks In
the mining game every man interest
ed in the industry knows, from poor
prospector to opulent owner, but 1t is
seldom that, in a deal whereby a pro-
perty changes hands, both parties ex-
perience bitter disappointment, then
equal elation Almost invariably eth
er purchaser or seller gets the best of
the bargain.
But in the history of the sale and
development Of the Copper Giant mine
in Mohave county, Arizona, now own
ed by the United Verde Copper COM
pany, there is contained tale of
double disappointment with happy
ending.
When Senator Clark, chief own
er of the famous United Verde copper
mine, at Jerome, Ariz., paid w. X. Rid
enour and associates of Kingman,
Ariz., $4,000 for the Copper Giant
mine, near blackberry, Ridenour
thought he was selling the property at
fair figure, and Clark believed he
was purchasing a property that he
needed at a reasonable valuation. At
this stage both sides were highly sat
islied with the deal, but both were
soon to be bitterly disappointed.
Thought He Unloaded a Dead One.
VIM. Neagle, an ore buyer for the
United Verde, had prevailed upon
Clark to purchase the property, after
an examination had disclosed that the
ores in the superficial workings car
ried some rs per cent silica, with suf-
ficient gold and copper to pay mining
and shipping charges. silica at that
time was in great demand at the Unit
ed Verde as converter lining, and as
the Copper Giant ores would give
Clark the necessary silica, and pay for
1t as well, the purchase of the prop
erty was speedily contaminated, the
more readily as the United Verde was
then mining silica at great expense.
Then came the first disappointment.
AS depth was gained in the mine the
silica content became less and less,
until the ores returned but about 20
per cent. At the 550-level, when the
silica was practically nil, and because
of the then prevailing low price of
copper, Clark, in keen disappointment,
closed the mine and marked its pur-
chase price off as "loss" Naturally, at
this time, Rldenour was highly elated
in the belief that he had "unloaded a
dead one"
Rich in Copper and Gold.
When the United Verde's new smell
ter at Clarkdale, of twice the capacity
of the former one, was in course of
construction, Clark, casting about for
a way of increasing tonnage, decided
to reopen the Copper Giant, which had
then been idle for some time, especial
ly as the price of copper was steadily
mounting. Neagle was placed in
charge of development work, and at
the next level, opened what promises
to become one of the greatest copper
ore bodies in the state This was the
moment of Clark's elation and Ride
hours disappointment.
The vein, approximately 16 feet wide
has been drifted on for several hun
bred feet and shows wonderful con-
tinuity. It's ores are returning II per
cent copper and about So gold. It has
been cut at two levels and seems to be
depth is gained over 200 tons Of ore
are now being shipped daily from the
property to the Clarkdale smelter.
