While the Riverside mountains,
just across the Colorado river, carry
high-grade ores in paying quantities
practically from the surface, that
district has been proven by develop
ments, to be essentially a deep min
ing country.
The Steece mine, in rich ore at a
depth of about 1000 feet, has con-
clusively proven this According
to mining engineers who have re-
Gently revised some of their opinions
as a result of developments on the
Steece property, which is being
operated by the Vidal Mining COM
pany, the ore bodies are much more
extensive than was previously
thought to be the case, and will
undoubtedly be much richer when
the sulphide zone is reached.
Operations on the Steece property
are perhaps at their most interest
ing stage just now. Discovered
thirteen years ago by P. H. Newman,
Abraham Strauss and George A
Cook while on a prospecting and
hunting expedition, the mine has
been more extensively developed
than any property in the Riverside
mountains. At more than twice the
depth of any neighbOring properties,
Mr.. Steece and his associates have

CALZONA MINES COMPANY

Noteworthy among the mining
properties in the Bendigo mining
district of the Riverside mountains
is that of the Calzona Mines COM
pany, about six and one-half miles
south of Vidal, Cal. Recent devel-
opments on the property have so en-
couraged officials of the company
that negotiations are under way for
an amalgamation plant, and it is
expected that the installation of the
machinery will begin within the
next sixty days.
The Calzona mine is located on the
same vein and in much the same
general formation as the Steece or
Vidal Mining company's property,
that of the Bendigo Mines company,
the Yap Mine, the Alice, and several
others, which have shipped or are
shipping highgrade gold-copper
ore. The company owns IL lode
claims and 13 mill sites-about $50
acres in all-Which it secured about
seven years ago and has since devel-
oped to a considerable extent.
The formation consists of Pre-
Cambrian schists, gneisses and lime
stone with intrusives of diabase, di-
orite, granodiorite and porphyry.
The remaining lime formation is 3
miles long, about three-quarters of
a mile in width and probably $500
feet in depth It's long axis bears

There are two distinct fault sys-

and numerous smaller assures, all
containing streaks of copper-gold

feet and are clearly defined in many
places.
The vein filings are composed of
quartz, barite, broken schist and
some lime. They are mineralized
with gold-bearing copper and iron,
and vary in width from one to twelve
feet. Although few isolated
bunche of copper and iron sulphides
have been found near the surface
the ore developed to date is princi-
pally oxidized gold-copper ore, al
though in the lime formation there
is considerable gold-bearing iron ore,
some of which is very rich.

Rich Ore Pockets.

The first of these rich pockets
was opened up by P. H. Newman at
a depth of $50 feet in what are
known as old workings The face
of the high-grade streak was Is
inches wide and it was on this show
ing (the ore carried copper gold
values in excess of $1,000 per ton
that he disposed of the property for
100000 cash to H. E. Steece eight
years ago.
The general vein matter carries
gold values averaging in excess OF
$40 per ton throughout the 'impov-
erished" zone, and in the zone of
secondary enrichment it is confident
ly expected values : will be much
greater. The high-grade streaks and
pockets revealed to date are regarded
as the result Of secondary enrich
ments and are considered very good
indications of exceptional value at
depth.
From surface indications and in
dications of teaching in the work
ings of the mine, mining men pre-
dict that while the property seems to
be gold mine, at depth it will
prove big producer of copper. This
The Parker post., 1917-04-14

averages around $40 per ton and in
places assays as high as $500 per
ton Although small streaks of cop
per carbonates were found in the
quartz it is stated by H. E. Olund,
the engineer developing the proper
ty, that the quartz itself is free of
copper. The Calzona mine is be-
lieved to be the only place in the
district where gold-quartz of this
character has been found, no other
mine having opened it up to date
and no surface outcrop having been
reported.
About $500 feet of work has been
done on the property in all. There
are workings in about twenty differ
ent places, the largest being a tun-
mel about 800 feet in length with
a 18O-foot upraise to the surface.
This work has been done, according
to Mr.. Olund, to prospect a few of
the richer surface groupings, but
will also be of great value in the

, others approximately the same size
also crop out on the surface.
The system of ore deposits on the
property is well defined and excep-
l tionally regular. The strike of the
contact is east of north and south of
west, that of the fractures through
the lime are south of east and west
OF north. The fractures dip at an
angle of about IS degrees. The dip
of the contact is about 81 degrees
from the surface to a point about
200 feet below the collar Of the
shaft, where it assumes slightly
more vertical position.
Present Development.
Work is at present being carried
on in the 200-foot and 6O0-foot
levels. In the former fine vein of
copper carbonate ore carrying gold
values from $40 to 500 per ton in
some places, and with gold content
Of more than SO per ton all the way,
has been encountered winze is
being sunk in the vein to connect
with the levels to be driven from the
300-foot station.
At the 600 foot level the miners
are drifting i'll the gOld7bearing hem
attic ore and cutting a drift to the
contact which dipped under the
shaft about 200 feet below the
collar. Large quantities Of CONNER
cial grade ore are expected to be
encountered along the contact.
The plan OF development at pres
ent is to continue drifting on the
500 foot level to cut the other par
allel Lodges exposed on the surface
and to develop and block out the
copper ore encountered in another
vein at the 2S0-foot level.
There is considerable talk of in
stalling shortly & 50-ton mill and
cyanide plant at the mine as it is
believed 7 even the lowest grade
gold ore can be handled at a large
profit by that method. There is an
enormous tonnage of ore that will
run better than SO in gold already
practically blocked out and as
large amount of it contains but
small copper content Mr.. Steece does
not contemplate shipping it to the
smelters.
The control of the company rests
with Mr.. Steece and members of his
family and no stock in the company
has been offered to the public. The
company is capitalized at S1,00O,OO0

miles from Vidal, Cal, wi, which

Mr.. Newman, who has recently

Favorable Formation.

1t has been found that the Oxidiz-
ed zone in the Riverside mountains,
or at least that particular section Of
the mountains near Vidal, is of nor
NAL depth. The general geology Of
the district is quite simple, consist
ing of a uncomfortable limestone
OVERLAPPING Pre-Cambrian schists,
with intrusives OF diabase, diorite,
granodOrite and pOrphyry. The ore
occurs in large bodies in the lime
stOne-schist contact, and in numer-
Gus parallel fractures. 1t is gener-
ally agreed upon by geologists that
the remaining lime formation is
about $500 feet in depth
The unusual depth at which the
zone of oxidation extends is explain
ed,according to mining engineers, by
the extraordinary openness of the
formation which has been so frac-
tured and broken as to permit the
ready escape of the mineral-bearing
water level, which on the Steece
property is expected to be encoun-
tered almost momentarily, the min
eral leached down from the thou
sands of feet of vein matter above
and redeposited in highly enriched
zone, and when this zone is reached
it should be a real bonanza.
The ore in the so-called ''impov-
erished" zone, where indications of
extensive teaching are plentiful, is
sufficiently rich to be handled at a
good profit even in normal times
Where the metal has been protected
against teaching by the gangue, high
grade streaks and pockets are found

quartz has been struck
No. 3 tunnel is 40 feet long and
has been driven along the hanging
wall side Of an intrusive dixie At
distance Of about 120 feet from
the portal an S5-foot raise has been
made. This upraise, the winze, and
40-foot drift at the bottom is all
in high-grade copper-gold ore.
A recent shipment of ore from the
raise averaged $50 per ton in gold
and Z per cent copper. The richest
ore streak, about one foot in width
at the top, widened to about four
feet at the bottom of the winze.
The last car of ore shipped from the
winze averaged S39 per ton in gold
and 4 per cent in copper. Ore from
the highgrade streak assayed as
high as S172 per ton in gold. Out
side of this high-grade streak there
is at least s feet of $40 gold ore
No. tunnel is about 800 feet in
length and was run to tap a chute
of rich ore that crops on the surface.
At about 800 feet from the portal,
the tunnel cut into a water course
which is heavily stained with copper.
Here a raise was made to the sur
face and shipment of ore assaying
$40 in gold and per cent in cop
per was made.
No. tunnel is 800 feet in length
and was run to tap large chute
that crops near the center of the
mountain. 1t was started by early
miners who erred somewhat in their
calculations and failed to tap the
ore. 1t is probable that this chute
will be tapped at a lower level by
a tunnel from the proposed main
workings near shaft No. l.
In addition there are numerous
other shallow shafts, tunnels and
open cuts, all of which have exposed
more or less copper-gold ore. Be
cause of the inaccessability Of the
majority of these workings the pres
ent mine manager is making no at
tempt to develop or prospect them
and is concentrating operations on
No. 2,to which good road has been
constructed.

vorably located in many ways. 1t
is but one mile from the river, assur-
ing a plentiful supply of water, and

pile from the Santa Fe Cutoff" at

During the four years that fol-

depth of $50 feet the corkscrew in
cline shaft opened up the streak Of
high-grade that resulted in the sale
of the property to Mr.. Steece, at the
time a successful mine operator from
Montana.
Upon taking over the property
the new owner drove a tunnel inter

thur E. Wyman, each man going a
distance of seven miles. The boys
ran from the end of the Kaimuki car
line to the foot Of Koko Head. The
time was good, for this was the only
run over three miles since the boys
OF Manoa went into training. How
ever, Coach Wyman has kept the
time of the initial tryout to himself.
and judging from the way the rum
ners as they finished m a group
looked, it will be hard test as to who
will make the team.
The taller runners Of the team will
have the better chance to make the
trip to the second city. Followers Of
the little Mills team are all backing
the Mandates to bring home the cup.
Eight runners will go on the trip, in.
