an open book bo k and the plan of development of the property along alonS the lines Jines laid down by Consult Consulting ConsultIng Consulting ing Engineer John b D Campbell and andr Mr r Cleary will be b taken up vigorously In order that the clients of the tho Sul Sui Sullivan Sullivan livan Trust company may better un understand understand understand the character of the tho holdings of or the Furnace Creek South Extension Copper company a brief description of that portion of or the Greenwater district might not be amis amts s Lying parallel to the famous Death Valley is the Fur Furnace Furnace Furnace nace Creek range of ot mountains of an average elevation of ot perhaps feet This range slopes quite gradually to the valley lying to the east of the mountain range Towns in the Valley Along this valley are re located the towns town of ot Ramsey Greenwater and Fur laCE race as well as a portion of the Schwab Clark and Sullivan proper properties properties properties ties The surface is covered more or orless orless orless less deeply with wash gravel lel sand and boulders with the ledges outcrop outcropping outcropping ping pins here and there and showing cop copter copper Tier per values in carbonates oxides and glance assaying from 3 S to 30 per cent topper copper The general trend of these I veins eins Is In an easterly and westerly direction they passing through the mountains in the Furnace Creek range to the slope which leads down into Death Valley Here the erosion has been very marked the average grade down to Death Valley itself being about 1000 feet to the mile mlle In places this erosIon has been so great that there are steep precipices which have almost sheer drops of several hundred feet Through these facades of rock the copper cop copper per r veins which are detected by b out outcropping outcropping cropping at the surface show plainly I although the atmospheric action of ages has las leached out a portion of o the copper values The veins are plainly indicated t d on many of o the properties of this district At many many points where the erosion roslon has been b eh less severe the theIron theiron Iron capping the gossan of or the geol geologist ogist appears at the surface or forms huge masses which stand out promInently prominently pr ml and Indicate the presence of the copper veins beneath This Is the condition which prevails In n the Anxiety and Copper Shoe claims of ot the Furnace Creek South Extension Copper company After climbing to the summit of the divide the panorama of ot Death Valley presents itself in the distance while beneath ones feet and dipping down the slope lie He these two groups of claims One looking over the claims Is almost Immediately tely attracted to the immense oli oti of g of f HII the gossan or Iron hat of ot the German mineralogist that marks the path ot of the veins which have passed through the mountain and Into these claims There is a canyon steep ste p and abrupt in Its descent toward Death Valley through which the path of ot these veins can plainly be traced with the naked eye Great Cap of Gossan To the right one sees a great mass massof massof massof of this gossan larger than the average house sticking out of oC the side of or the mountain and marking the course of the same vein which is being developed de by the Furnace Creek Cop Copper Copper Copper per two shafts Across the head of the canyon coming through Anxiety No 1 and the Copper Shoe No 2 claims of ot the South Extension com company Company pany another vein has been located and this is being developed by a tunnel tun tunnel tunnel nel During the past ast week the forma which the tunnel is pass passIng passing Ing has changed from red granite to iron capping and It Is believed that a comparatively comp small amount of work at this thin point will open up the vein This tunnel is not to be used in the scheme of permanent development but butis butIs butis is merely merel corroborating the opinion of o othe the engineers and determining the pitch of the vein Across the canyon the thu permanent working shaft has been started It isnow is 18 isnow now about thirty feet deep and will be equipped with a complete hoisting plant which has already been ordered and which is expected to be ready for delivery about the first of the year ear earThe The plan of or development includes the sinking of a shaft to a depth of at least f feet et which will because of or the site selected for the shaft permit the development of ot the veins at a depth of il SOO and feet Farther up the side of the mountain the third vein has been located passing from the Copper Prince claim of the Fur Furnace Furnace Furnace nace Creek Cre k Copper Copp i company and the Brick fraction into the Anxiety of the Furnace Creek South Extension Cop Copper Copper Copper per company These latter veins seem to tobe be nearing each other and there Is Isa Isa isa a possibility that they will meet al although although although though sufficient work has not yet been performed to determine whether or not this junction actually act aU occurs Nine men men and a foreman areat are at work on the property pr perty and this force willbe will willbe wI be ample to sink the lie main working shaft to a sufficient depth to warrant the opening up of the first level probably at ata a depth of feet The property Is equipped with all an the necessary tools and supplies sup pIleS for present needs and it is expected that It will be equipped with the first hoist which is to be installed on the western or Death Valley slope op 7 1 I
