MAGMA CHIEF DRIVES TUNNEL TOWARD HIGH GRADE ORE

The Magma Chief Copper company, operat-
ing tunnel in the Superior mining district Of
Pinal county, is driving a tunnel on the pro-
nounced and we'll defined east and west
fissure known as the Watson fissure This tun-
mel, now in distance of 800 feet, is being
driven In anticipation of encountering rich
high grade copper and silver ores similar to
those encountered in the Magma mine fissure.
The similarity of the geological conditions
on the Magma and Magma Chief properties
and the similarity in the occurrence of the two
fissures coupled With the favorable reports
and Recommendations OF prominent mining en-
gnee1's gives the management of the Magma
Chief every confidence that large producing
mine will be opened up with the proper
amount Of development.
The tunnel is advancing at the rate of eight
feet per day with two shifts and at distance
OF about 1900 feet it will intersect what is
known as the G. S. & A. lateral ledge. which.
running north and south, extends through the
entire length of the G. S. & A. Magma and
Magma Chief properties The Magma Copper
company has acquired the G. S. & A. ground
and is now developing the G. S. & A. ledge,
making daily shipments of high grade copper
ores therefrom When the Watson tunnel in
tersects this ledge at the estimated distance,
high grade ore bodies should be encountered.
The Magma Chief mine claims were former
ly the property Of the Pomeroy brothers, who
held them for about fifteen years, 50 convinced
were they that they were the making of a rich
mine. The striking Of high grade copper ore
in the Magma last winter dispelled all doubt
that might have existed as to the character of
the claims adjoining. The formation is

Development Work Pushed

To this report Mr. Kunlle, i'll May, added
the following as a supplement to the work at
the mine:
''All the work at the Magma Chief has been
running along nicely during the present
month. On the thirteenth of April the Wat
son tunnel measured 800 feet. 1t now has a
total Of 495 feet giving us an average for the
past 25 days Of shade less than eight feet a
day of two shifts.
''Ihe formation for the past 1870 feet has
been broken, red iron stained, altered linz
stone, occurring as filling on the north side
Of the fissne. The black manganese wall,
which is vertical and marks the south side of
the fissure, runs in long sweeping wave form
and is at the present time entirely out Of the

Organized in 1913

The Magma Chief Copper company was
first organized in 1913 and reorganized in the
fall of 1916 after engineers of state wide and
nation wide reputation had passed favorably
upon the property
A report by Superintendent Charles A.
Kumke, covering general development, opera
tons and progress of the Magma Chief Cop
per company during the four first months of
1911 has been prepared. This report dates
from the time Mr. Kumke entered the employ
Of the company, January 49, He says:
"A survey of the company claims was at
once arranged for VIM c. Goetz, U. S. deputy
mineral surveyor, of Tucson, made an accur-
ate survey Of the claims, II in number, and all
corners were established and marked in such
q manner as to comply with all the requisites

Water Problem Overcome

Machinery and equipment for mine work
were early considered and orders were
promptly placed for the following. after hay
ing secured guarantees for prompt de-

Among the first things considered was the
building Of wagon road to the mouth of the
proposed tunnel. survey was made of sev-
cral possible roads. The final section was a
road adjoining the Silver King road approx
mately five thousand feet in length A CON
tract for the building Of this road was let and
it was entirely completed thirty days later.

Office Building Completed

The Magma Chief has recently completed
the erection of an office building at Superior
Part of the building is rented The remainder
is occupied by the company as headquarters.
When the Magma Chief Copper company
was reorganized last year the services of W. F.
Gordon, geologist and mining expert were en-
gagged. He reported favorably on the prop
erty. Another report was made by Dr. Walter
Harvey Weed, noted mining engineer He
says: ''In the light Of our present knowledge
Of the naturalization Of the district there is
good ground for the belief that development Oh
the Watson vein is likely to disclose copper
ore and silver ore of commercial value. The
Watson vein shows width of thirty-three
feet Of manganese outcrop on the Palace claim.
The open cut on this vein shows it to be
strong line of faulting and fracture and the
crushed material has been leached by acid
waters, which is evidence of the former pres
cnce Of sulphides.

approximately three thousand feet
''Speaking broadly, it closely resembles the
productive fiSsure Of the Well-knOWn Magma
Copper company, which fissure it parallels at
horizontal distance from it of about three
thousand three hundred feet.
Before any of the above work was far I'M
der way, the driving of the Watson tunnel
was commenced by single jack work and con-
tinued until the machinery was placed in COM
mission, and two shifts have been constantly
at work. The tunnel is now in distance Of
365 feet and is progressing at the rate Of eight
feet per day, with two shifts. The fissure is
well defined and assays show some silver val

total distance Of about 1900 feet this tunnel
will cut the lateral manganese ledge, known in
these parts as the old L. S. & A. ledge. This
ledge is easily traceabe from Queen Creek
through the entire length of the Magma Chief
holdings. The Magma Copper company is

Tunnel Decided Upon

1t was decided to commence our develop
ment work by driving tunnel, practically in
the very strong and geologically promising
Watson fissure. This fissure has an iron,
manganese and lime filling, and is an excep-
tionally persistent fissme which can easily

Recommends Tunnel

Dr.. Weed in his report recommended the
driving of the Watson tunnel, advancing the
theory that in the Watson vein body Of com
mercial ore may be encountered.
Curtis S. Knight is president Of the Magma
Chief Copper company The mine is under the
personal supervision of Charles A. Krmke,
mining engineer, formerly Of the United Verde
Copper company at Jerome.

ledge filling along the wall is reddest directly
against the manganese wall, and Judging from
the increasing intensity of the iron stain the
wall is swinging TO the north, and should enter
the tunnel again before long.
''At distance Of about 1900 feet the Wat
son tunnel, running east and west, should in
tersect the L. S. & A. ledge cutting it at
depth Of about 400 feet This ledge. which
cuts the entire length of the Magma Chief
ground, is the same one the Magma Copper
company is now exploring and from which it
is shipping ore At this intersection the Wat
son tunnel should encounter high grade COM

tunnel before reaching that point.

The acquisition Of this claim also made it pos

An Unused Empire

Americans laboring under the de-
fusion that the public domain is
practically exhausted will read with
surprise Secretary Lanes statement
that there are 240,00O,OOO acres of
unallotted public land in the west
ern states. Here is a territory of
virgin farming and grazing land
awaiting the homesteader which is
Texas, Iowa and Illinois. 1t is large
enough to provide 100000 people
with $40 acres and mule" and in
fact it is open to settlement on terms
which would allow the settler to ac-
quire $50 acres in the restricted sec
lions or full square mile of straight
grazing land.
This vast undeveloped acreage CON
stitutes an agricultural reserve which
is an invaluable asset in national food
defense. 1t is big enough of itself to
sustain the country. The fact for con-
Germ is that the public lands 10 long
er offer the incentive they once did
to the immigrant and pioneer This
farm empire awaiting develop ment is
larger than France and Italy combined,
yet in the face of the unexampied OPP
portunity to obtain rich land almost
for the asking, millions of alien resi-
dents are preparing to return to Eu-
