 The ore was taken out of the north crn end of what .s now known as the Grand Pacific Copper Company. The old workings from which this ore was taken are still in fair state of pres ervation and many are the old timers who declare that there still remains in the workings q large body of ore with the same rich values.

The exploratory work performed has demonstrated the existence of 3,400,000 tons of concentrating ore. averaging 2.36 per cent copper on an area of 1872 acres or less than one-fifteenth of the company's mining claims. The prop critics are contiguous to those of the Ray Consolidated and the ore body is a continuation thereof. The character of the ore is similar to that of both Ray and Inspiration, i. e., of large masses of ore in which the copper as a sulphide mineral is disseminated through the rock and which readily yields a high grade concentrate easily smelted

The report was made and was extremely Favorable. The Ray Hercules company was formed and took over d controlling interest in the properties of the Arizona Hercules com pany.
 Inc Ray Hercules is at present very reticent in regards to the tonnage of copper developed through churn drill ing over all portions of the property. It is known that they have already proven a body of over 3.500.000 tons of the great disseminated ore in which the Ray Consolidated is mining. What they now nave in sight is unknown to any but the engineers in charge and the officers of the company. Some say that the Ray Hercules will be a second Ray Consolidated. that remains to be seen Churn drills are still working day and night over all portions of the prop erty. what they are finding is the great mystery of the mining world today. In addition to their proven ore zone of low grade deposits the company is mining the great surface outcroppings of high grade ores which abount in nook and crevice lode and Assure. throughout the entire surface of the property.
