The Arizona copper camp., 1916-08-04

the sulphides taken out of the drifts
and crosscuts are being piled up ready
for treatment by oil flotation or some
water concentration when the new mill
the free milling ores taken out in devel-,
opment are sufficient to keep the mill
turning out bricks regularly. The
company is practically close cor
poration, and even closer mouthed, so
it is impossible to state just what
monthly returns are being realized but
from the way the ore pans and from
what the miners and some of the little
birds around the camp say, it must
be enough to satisfy any reasonable
man.
: Active work has just been started on
the mining world few years ago by
producing about 100000 in less than
week from a small surface pit less
than twelve feet deep. Work was
stopped because of troubles and dis
sensions among the discoverers. Every
thing has now been Strengthened out
Hole Bonanza Mines company, which
now has force of men at work under
the direction of Dick Wick Hall, who
was instrumental in the original dis
covery and has been the means of get
ting matters settled. Work is being
prosecuted with view to cutting the
from the center of the old Glory Hole
pit into the main ledge towering just
above it. Already the men have cut
a blind fissure which horns we'll in
gold, and all seem enthusiastic over
the prospect of getting a body of
jewelry ore when the main fissure is
cut and followed to it's intersection
with the main ledge. This ledge, which
is nearly 200 feet wide, forms a con-
spicuOus feature of the landscape, be-
ing an immense mass of quartz spar
and iron of the same character as that
in the cross fissnre carrying the gold
When the original discovery was made,
ore was picked up on the surface and
taken out of the ground that was al
most half of it gold, much of it run
4 ming over 500 pound just the way
it was dug out. The property is prac-

was the week of discovery and the
development of the main ledge will be
watched with interest, both on account
of the high-grade ore bodies that may
/ be developed as well as the possibility
of it proving to be an immense body OF
milling ore of value sufficient to yield
big profits.
T. A. C'Bob') Montgomery, the fa-
nous Nevada mining man, who sold the
the Montgomery -Shoshone to Charles
NJ, Schwab and associates for $4,000
900, is working force of men at sew
eral places on the Cuff property under
the direction of Didrick Wiggers, and
some ore running well up in gold has
already been opened. The Cuff is
near the Golden Eagle, about mile
from the Harqua Hala, and covers
basin of granite porphyry cut by nu-.
merous fractured zones and cross fis-
sures showing every evidence of ex-
tensive naturalization. The main
| f,.oo tha
the Harqua Hala ore body and possibly
! it is parallel vein or ore zone The
ore is much the same in character as
i that of the Harqua Hala, the formation
is practically the same as that in which
4 the new strike has been made, and
there is a strong possibility that Mont
gomery will open a big ore body He
recently expressed himself as amazed
at the big undeveloped showings of
\ the district and he has already taken
over two properties here.
The Harqua Hala porphyry belt can
be followed on the surface from the
Harqua Hala northwest to the Glory
Hole and Griffin properties and has
really never been prospected, unless
the building of~occasional monuments
and the sinking of few ten-foot
holes can be considered development
work. The Cuff property, where Mont
gomery is opening such good show
ings in less than month after start
ing work, is crossed by the main
Travelled road of that region and, has
been driven over by thousands of peo-
pie in past years, but lay there unde-
yeloped until a stranger came and rec
ogniZed it's value, but this is typical
of all mining districts.
There is big belt between the
Harqua Hala and Glory Hole that
shows extensive evidences of minerali-
cation in numerous lodges and out
crops. This will undoubtedly be To-
Gated and prospected this fall and win
ter. Many new people are coming in
and taking up ground. The. few old
| timers are beginning to sit up and take
| notice and tell how they might have
! had this piece of ground or that, and
