OLD CAMPS ONCE
RICH IN DOLLARS

To the north of Ray liesSln old mine
and an old town rich in romance and
once rich in ore and cash. They are
the Troy Manhattan property and the
camp of Troy, which grew up about
the mine. In about 1900 the present
company was organized, being a con-
solidation of the Troy and the Manhat-
tan companies
A great deal of development work
was done, large quantities Of ore en-
countered, mined and smelted. Later
the mines We're closed down and re-
manned idle, and are still idle, although
there is a semi-official report current
that the mines will be re-opened and
worked and further exploited.
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1917-06-17

The ore is found in varied forms
of leaf and wire also in threads
as fine as silk, and of dazzling
whiteness, the grandest sight in ma
tive minerals have ever seen.
So after a visit to the great ore
body of almost solid sulphiGe, the beau
tiful, the visitor beholds the most
glinting peacock copper that one sell
dom has the good fortune to see. This
Giistening treasure vault means riches
to those who had the courage to go
ahead and develop the Magma mine
from a tiny fissure, of no great prom
Use in itself, that they found on the
surface.

achieved a very high record for eff
ficiency. With the larger shaft now
under contemplation, and site for
which is said to have practically been
determined upon, Magma would be
able to much increase its output and
earnings, besides being enabled to
carry on much more extensive develop
ment work.
OF the latter, they have done com
paratively little, the persistence of the
ore with all of their work giving them
but small time to more than get it
out of the way and crowd on. 1t is en-
tirely within possibility that with d
new shaft and its additional facilities
available, Magma might, in the course
of several months development below
present depth. establish even more
sensational copper mine value than the
work to date has given it. Not . few
believe that this mine will go to great
depth in high grade ore.
