The Parker post., 1917-01-20

Automobile ROAD from PdrKer ana Lno
Empire mines has been completed
to the foot of Copper Queen Noun
tain, on which are located the work
ings of the Arizona McGinnis.
B. L. Vaughn of San Diego and
erty, are more than pleased with the
returns OF money expended in de
velopment to date. There are twelve
open cuts and shallow shafts on the
property and ore said to assay be-
tween 5 and 9 per cent copper has
been opened up Nin each. In addi-
tion, gold values averaging between
SIS and SIS per ton are carried.
AS soon as machinery arrives
Supt. STANLEY will sink shaft on
the eastern foot of the mountain,
where shallow workings have ex-
posed high7grade carbonate ore,
with fair sprinkling of oxides.
The ore deposits on the we'll de-
veloped Mammon property of E. s..
Osborne have attracted the atten-
tention of New York and Boston
capitalists, and it is regarded as
highly probable that the property
will change hands soon Mr.. Os-
borne, perhaps the dean of mining
men at Parker, has spent more
than $4,000 developing the prop
erty, and $500 feet of underground
workings have blocked out about
10000 tons of high-grade ore. Ex-
ceptional gold values, which are a
feature of the Parker copper dis
trict. are noticeably present in II
upper workings of the Mammon.
Although developed to the point
cf producing more than fifty toi
per day, the property is idle at pres
emit. pending the outcome of nego-
tiations with eastern capitalists Mr..
Osborne is practically sole owner
Get Big Tract.
A strike ON the extensive prop
erty of the Arizona Revenue Cop
per company during the past week
resulted in much activity ON neigh
boring properties. Tom Carrigan,
one of the pioneer mining men of
,he district, and a few wealthy as
sociates from California, Texas and
Arizona, immediately secured a
large tract approximately ? sixty
claims adjoining the Arizona Reve-
nue. and extending past Osborne's
Wells to the Pride group. Mr.. Car
ligan believes the big ore body on
the Revenue property is the one
that outcrops i'm many places ON his
property, and he is securing ma
chinery to start operations at once.
Articles of Incorporation for a
new company to be known as the
Standard Copper company, were
filed with the Arizona State Cor
loration Commission on behalf of
able amount of development work
Las been done ON the property in
tue past, and the new company
starts with shipping ore in sight
and a well-developed system of
roads Mr. Carrigan has put men at
work on the property.
Large Vein Exposed.
Great interest also centers ON the
Echo claims of the Arizona Revenue
Copper company. The first intima
tirn that something of unusual inn
pcrtance had occurred was the re-
cent arrival in Parker of a group of
Los Angels and Arizona men, who
are heavily interested in the prop
arty. Accompanying them was A.
w. Cole, senior member of the
State Corporation Commits
sion. Members of the party includ-
ed David F. Johnson, State Treas
urer; Warren L. Williams, City
Prosecutor at Los Angeles; Arthur
Jerome Beecher of Los Angels and
New York, and several others.
II. A. Morse, who is in charge of
the work ON the property, showed
the part where he had opened up
what is believed to be an unusually
large vein of high-grade copper and
gold ore. Measured with the tape,
the vein is between 130 and 161 feet
in width, practically on the surface.
A l60-foot incline shaft, following
the hanging wall, shows an increase
in values with depth. with the vein
incl easing in size.
For distance of approximately
two miles shallow shafts and open
cuts have been sunk at intervals of
