CESS OF MICHIGAN COPPER co.

One property that is being hand

and under the personal direction of
it's officers is that of the Mohican
Copper company, located short
distance from BOuse This care
full management has resulted in
the company making good, and if
| future developments, in connection
with the work already accomplished,
| does not result in the bringing in
of one of the best copper mines in
northern Yuma county some we'll
known mining engineers are due for
q surprise.
Few properties in this section are
as well equipped for mining as is the
Mohican Copper Co. A new West
Coast so h. p. engine and a fiye-drill
Ingersoll Rand compressor have re-
Gently been added to the equipment,
| besides No. Cameron sinker, and
a Cameron station pump. Other
equipment consists of a Is h. p.
Fairbanks Morse gas engine, a No.
lows frame, a galvanized iron hoist
| house, blacksmith shop, timber
framing shed, 40-tOn ore bin, and
numerous framed bunk houses and
camp buildings.
The property of the company con-
sists of twenty-one patented mining
claims, and developments to date
have exposed numerous ore bodies
on the estate of the company.
| About $685. 900 has been expended
in development work, and for many
months about $4,000 per month has
been spent for this purpose
At the present time all develop
,sment is being concentrated on the
company's Bullion Copper Shaft,
| which has now attained depth of
| 400 feet, and it is the intention of
the management to continue sinking
several hundred feet further On
| the 300-fOOt level of this working
there is a crosscut 95 feet to the
southwest, and one IS feet to the
northeast. In the southwest cross
cut there is a vein exposed feet in
width showing lenses of carbonate
and copper glance ore from to s
inches wide assaying about 20 per
| cent copper
At the 100 foot level there is 800
feet of prosecuting and drifting. In
the northeast crOsscut there is a 60
foot vein of 21 per cent copper ore
At the station on the 100 foot level
there is 2 feet of 10 per cent copper
ore. At about 60 feet from this sta
| ton in the northeast crOsscut there
is drift running diagonally from
the crOsscut which shows 20 feet of
about 3 per cent ore. Also in the
drift which runs from the south
west crosscut there is a vein s feet
wide showing stringers 2 to inches
wide of high grade chalcopyrite
which assays 35 per cent copper.
Two other shafts, one 60 feet and
one 11O feet, show good-sized ore
bodies. Numerous other openings
and cuts have exposed ore assaying
from to 25 per cent. Altogether
about 100 feet of development work
has been accomplished to date In
the Bullion Copper Shaft the ore
| body was encountered at 60 feet and
at the first level of the mine so feet
OF ore was crOsscut assaying from l
to 10 per cent copper.
