DEPOSITS Same as Planet.

In the opinion OF mining engin-
GERS who have extensively examined
the property, the whole area one
time lay as a fiat stratifed formation
which had been folded by lateral
pressure and fauIted. The ore de-
posits, as in the Planet, occurs main
ly in vein from to probably 40
feet in thickness, between the hem
atites and the gneiss. Copper ore
occurs in the hematite itself and
between the hematite and the over
laying schist, in the form of copper
carbonates, copper oxides, and, with
depth, sulphides of copper.
Regarding the ores, mining en-
gineer of note, T. A. Wetzel, NJ. E.,
told Mr.. Jones:
Drilling should prove up the
great copper ore bodies that must lie
in your ground and they will in all
probabilities be sulphide ores, Sec
ondarily enriched by the process of
teaching and no doubt higher in
value than the ore now being min
ed at the Planet which averages
per cent copper or $48 per ton.
That ore is a carbonate ore that has
been robbed of some portion of its
value through the process of leach
ing"
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures OF the Argus ore is the gold
content which appears to be con-
sistent and to average about $40
per ton, although specimens have
assayed as high as 1927 per ton.
A e. Hardwick, superintendent of
the mine, recently brought several
samples to Parker that assayed in
excess of $500 per ton in gold.

Early Day History.

Few properties are more intimate
ly connected with the romance and
glamor OF the early days than the
Argus, Planet, and neighboring
mines. Lying in what is known as
the Harcuvar Mining district, the
early records show activity to have
been centered in the properties along
the Bill Williams river at that point.
The early life of the pioneers was
far from being peaceful and be-
tween fighting off the Indians and
taking out ore the accomplishments
Of the early miners seem little short
of marvellous. Only with ore de-
posits as rich as are found in this
section could they have mined and
shipped ore at anything like profit
From 1853 to 1874 the district
was perhaps the most active in
western Arizona. From practically
surface workings alone over
5000 tons of high-grade copper-gold
ore was laboriously extracted, haul
ed over crude wagon roads or packed
by burrOs to the river and f1oated
thence to the sea where it was re-
shipped to Wales, and, in limited
amoants, to San Francisco.
In 1884 a crude smelter was in
stalled in what is known as Smelter
Gulch, trif1e more than mile
from the present Erebus shaft AT the
Argus, and several hundred tons of
ore were treated. The ruins of the
smelter is one of the picturesque
landmarks of the district today.
Recently, the Stag dumped from the
old smelter was shipped to a modern
smelter at Hayden, netting the ship
pers a handsome profit.

On the Montgomery claim where
the major part of the development
work has been done and consequent
ly the best showing made, the iron
occurs as a thick bed of about fifty
feet of hematite, replacing what was
once thick bed of limestone This

The Great Planet Vein.


The Great Planet Vein.
The Planet vein, according TO
Superintendent Newton, is a fiat dip
ping contact between the gneiss and
the overlaying stratified formation.
probably of sedimentary origin. This
contact has southeast-northwest
strike and a tip of or 10 degrees
to the southwest. 1t outcrops ex
tensively on the Argus property, and,
as on the Planet property, has been
opened up by numerous open cuts,
tunnels, etc, and a considerable
amount of good grade copper oxide
ore has been mined and shipped.
Besides the cuts, tunnels, etc. on
or near the outcrop, the vein has
been explored on the neighboring
claims of the Planet property by a
560-foot vertical shaft and an incline
shaft that follows the vein on it's
dip for distance of about $50 feet.
This shaft was sunk at an angle of
60 degrees through a thick bed of
iron ore to the footwall of the vein.
A connection was then made with
the 560-foot vertical shaft at about
$50 feet below the collar of the
latter. In the incline shaft con-
siderable drifting was done, both by
the old Planet company and the
present leasors. These incline work
ings, according to Mr.. Newton, have
Enthusiastically proven the existence
of commercial ore in large quantities
on and near the footwaIl of this
Planet vein.
On the Pacific claims the vein has
been opened up by three SKI shafts
along it's strike for a distance of at
least 500 feet. A 40-foot crosscut
tunnel has been driven to the vein
at the east end of the claim and a
raise made to the surface. The vein
has been drifted on for about 20
feet each way from the face of the
tunnel A small seam of copper ore
can be seen on each wall of the f.
foot vein disclosed.

MARYLAND GROUP A PROMISING
PROPERTY -ADJO|NS BIG MINES

Among the properties of great
promise in the sO-calIed Planet dis
trict is the Maryland, owned by A.
B. Jones, one time owner of the
Planet mine and one of the pioneers
Of the present day mining men in
that vicinity. The Maryland group
consists of eleven claims, covering
The Parker post., 1917-04-14

an aggregate length along the lode
Of approximately $500 feet.
If surface showings count for any
thing, the Maryland group has a
wealth of copper ore stored away at
comparatively little depth On the
Montgomery claim a good-sized vein
has been opened up by five tunnels
and a 15-fOOt shaft. The longest

On Planet Vein.

The Maryland adjoins the Planet
properties, and according to engin-
eers who have made examinations
it's ore is practically identical with
that of the latter. 1t is regarded as
assured by local mining men and
mining engineers, that the vein from
ping between SO and 60 tons per
day, is an extension of the vein on
the Maryland.
While not isolated, the develop
ment of the property has been re-
tarded by it's comparative remote
ness from transportation, and, until
recently, the low price of copper.
At present, however, an automobile
road connects the property with the
ArizonaSwansea railroad, at Mid
way, and the cost Of transportation,
Judging from contracts in force on
neighboring properties, would be
about S4 per ton. There has re-
Gently been some talk of extending
the Swansea railroad to within about
one mile Of the property, and it is
regarded as certain that this will
eventually be done.
The formation of the ore bodies is
identical with that of the Argus,
Planet and neighboring properties,
the veins occurring usually in a
schist-quartzite contact, copper be-
ing in the form of silicate and
carbonates. AS in practically every
mine in the district high percent
age of iron is present,

Per Cent Copper

This ore, according to T. A Wet
eel, E. NJ who superintended the
sampling and who is thoroughly IA
miliar with the property, is second
grade" and remains on the dump
merely because at the time Mr.. Jones
shipped several carloads some time
ago, it was regarded as too low
grade to handle. Ore in the vein
assays as high as 40 per cent copper

has been sunk to depth of about
80 feet and is practically all in ore.
Some excellent specimens showing
free gold have been taken from this
shaft and without doubt crosscutting
will disclose some rich pockets.
Shaft No 2 has only been driven
to depth of about 40 feet, and is
located on a continuation of the
same vein. An average of five
samples taken clear across the shaft
and assayed in Los Angeles shows
in excess of SIS in gold 1t was from
this shaft that a sample assaying
slightly above $S27 gold was taken.
Thomas A. Wetzel, NJ. E., who re-
Gently made an exhaustive report on
the property, said regarding this
vein:
This showing certainly warrants
further exploration, and in my opin-
ion a great amount of capital would
not be required to block out ore in
sufficient quantities to warrant the
erection of a reduction plant

Will Install Churn Drill.

1t is understood that the officials
Of the company are seriously con-
sidering installing a cyanide plant.
1t is expected that the ground will
be thoroughly prospected by churn
drill within the next few months at
the latest. A serviceable drilling
outfit is at present on the property.
According to mining men and va
rious engineers who have been over
the ground, it is we'll located for
drilling. Under the direction of Mr.
Jones, serviceable roads have been
built and the drilling rigs could be
taken practically to any point de-
sired without trouble. Two addi-
tional working shafts are to be start
ed shortly.
Practically all the elements that
go to make a real mine at a mini
mum expenditure are present on the
Argus. Situated but II miles from
the railroad, within mile of plen-
tiful all-year-round supply of water,
with plenty of timber for what small
amount of timbering will be neces-
sary, close at hand, about all the
comany will be required to ship in
will be fuel.
