-Four Large Veins.

Four plainly marked large veins,
and numerous smaller ones can be
traced on the surface by shallow
workings consisting of open cuts,
etc. These include one traversing
the Pacific claims 4 and 7; one run
ming at right angles through Pacific
claims 8, 4, and 5, and two on the
Erebus claim
On the Erebus claim, SKI shaft
has been sunk to depth Of 120 feet,
with an S5-foot drift at the 75-foot
level, and a 5O-foot drift at the 120-
foot level. These workings have
disclosed the vein to be gradually
increasing in size with values be-
coming better with depth. At the
120-foOt level the vein matter is
about feet in width and the vein
itself is dipping east at an angle of
about IS degrees
The fact that the vein matter is
increasing in value while the vein
itself is growing larger with depth,
supports the prediction Of Lyman
A. Newton, NJ. E., superintendent of
the Planet mine, who recently in
spected the Argus holdings and sub
mitted a very comprehensive report
on that property to Mr.. Jones.
After explaining in detail the
workings of the Planet mine and
showing the trend Of the ore body
and the general formation is SINH
lar to that of the Argus, Mr. Newton
stated:
Although the surface showings
on the Argus ground produce gooG
ore, the outstanding feature of this
property is the probable continual
tion and extension of the Planet
contact through the property. Con-
tinuing the Erebus shaft to a depth
Of about 600 feet would probably
tap the footwall.
There are good reasons to believe
that the ore bodies similar to those
that are now being mined in the

THE CABLE FERRY

The Parker Cable Ferry, operated
by John Roberts and Guy Terry,
was put into operation in October,
1916, and is the official medium of
ing the Colorado at this point It
is equipped to handle four cars at
time, operates on a one and one
half inch steel cable, and is re-
garded as being the acme of safety
in the ferry line. g
A 12- h. p. gasoline marine en-
gine operates propeller which has
been installed as a precautionary
measure. By an ingenious method
of control, the current of
the Colorado is used to ferry the
barge in either direction, the time
of crossing being about three min
utes.
Messrs. Roberts and Terry have
spent about $500 making the roads
to and from the ferry as substantial
as possible and both the river road
on the Arizona side and the ferry
road on the California side are in
good condition.
The Cable Ferry is affected by the
order of the Indian Agent on the
Colorado River Indian reservation
stopping night travel across the river
in this vicinity, but it is regarded as
assured that the order will be re-
scinded shortly. The order is part
of campaign against bootlegging,
which is rapidly becoming an un-
unpopular pursuit on this side of
the river.

Shipping High Grade.

Following the closing down of the
smelter, due to the prohibitive cost
of importing coke to the almost iso-
lated location, and the great losses
resulting from crude smelling
methods, the district lay dormant
until few years ago. The Planet
mine was the first to be reopened
and today the leasers are shipping
between so and so tons of per
cent copper ore per day. This rep
resents yearly production in excess
Of half million dollars.
The vein on which the Planet
leasOrs are working is an extension
Of the same vein system as the Ar
gus. A. B. Jones, who located the
property and has spent perhaps S5O,-
600 on the property in development
work, recently shipped several car
loads of ore that averaged 10 per
cent copper and several dollars in
gold.
The Argus is located on perhaps
one of the most promising forma-
tions in the entire district. The
topography of the section is varied
The mountain area is small as COM
pared with the valleys which are
filled with detritaI material eroded
from the mountains. The hills form
series of three long ridges with
trend sOuthwestward. They are
separated by steep sided canyons,
and the geology of the district may
be readily studied.
In the vicinity of the Argus, PIa-
net, Maryland and neighboring prop
critics the rocks are partly of sedi-
mentary origin. A recent survey of
the country from the Bill Williams
river through the district shows a
stratified formation which has been
so tilted that the bed dips to the
southwest. In the process of fitting
the area has been faulted causing
the beds to outcrop in various places.
The lowest visible stratum is grant
tic gneiss, this is the underlying OF
basic rock and constitutes the foot
The Parker post., 1917-04-14
Formation of Maryland

The iron ore is, according to min
eralogists, due to a replacement of
the lime, with which it is associated
in places. In many instances the
vein is evident by the original lime
stone, not replaced but somewhat
stained by iron, and altered.
The formation is extensively
faulted, the most apparent fault
crossing the formation transversely
in general southeast and southwest
direction. From a point on the
Cabin John clam it turns southeast
ly up Smelter Gulch and southwest
erly across the other Maryland
claims The whole formation to
the northeast of this fault line has
been dropped and the iron and cop
per ores Outcrop at a lower level.
The fault itself is mineralized,
and, according to mining engineers,
probably has much to do with the
naturalization of the ore bodies.
Lesser faults have also disturbed
the formation to some extent. Many
little veins can be seen in the schist
and nearly all show copper stain.
These lesser faults, it is stated by
mineralogists, have contributed to
the naturalization by Offering free
passage to the mineral bearing solu-
tions

Local mining men are watching
with great interest developments on
the extensive holdings of the Argus
Copper and Gold Mining company.
Adjoining as they do the famous
Planet mine, from which it is said,
in excess of S1,OO0,0OO worth OF
high-grade ore was gouged out,
packed on burros to the Bill Will
liams river, f1Oated on RATS TO the
mouth OF the Colorado river and
shipped TO Swansea, Wales, in the
early COS by French and Spanish
"chloriders, the Argus properties
are locally considered among the
most promising OF the district.

sist OF 46 full lode claims-mOre
than 900 acres-aImosC ideally 10
Gated in a proven mineral zone. To
the southwest are the Yuma Chief
mines, producing high-grade ore, and
the Mineral Hill mine, one of the
widely known properties in the
Mineral Wash section. Slightly to
the south are the Arizona Revenue
holdings with considerable high
grade copper ore ready for shipment.
About eleven miles distant is the
Swansea, producing at the rate of
about 100000 per month and with
enough ore blocked out to continue
at that rate for the next century.
North of the Argus is the Planet,
Maryland group and several other
properties in various stages of de-
ve]opment.

Copper Glance Ore.

copper Glance Ure.
The copper occurs below the main
iron ore body in what is evidently
true vein between the iron and
gneiss. This vein, according to
mineralogists, is zone of movement,
and contains fragments of breccia
from the wall rock and a filing of
siliceous gangue. The fragments Of
wall rock, often partly replaced with
mineral, are evident throughout the
underground workings. The brec-
cia zone is impregnated with oxides
of iron and carbonates and silicats
of copper.
The copper ore is about feet
thick. It's deposition has been ac-
complished in part by the teaching
Of the copper, formerly contained in
disseminated form in the higher
strata, and still evident in the over
lying schist and iron ore
Sulphides are found in the form
of copper glance in some of the ore
and in the lower workings on the
neighboring claims at the Planet,
some chalcopyrite is seen. Sui
phides are further evinced by the
presence of crystals of copper sui
phate on the walls of recent work
ings. At depth of from 800 to
$50 feet, which is thought to be the
depth to the permanent water level,
it is predicted by mining engineers
that there will be almost a complete
change from the carbonate ores now
in evidence, to sulphides
