particularly particularly the investing public which has ha taken so kindly to the stock of the cor corporation porton is the report of General Generl Man ran Manager Manager ager D C Jackling In it ft nothing is overlooked and to make clear cear all al that tha thaIs thatIs Is said many pages of handsome half halftone hal halftone tone illustrations and maps of the property are submitted As the fiscal year of the te company ends with wih June Instead of December and as the new milling plant at Gar Garfield Garfeld Garfield field feld did not go Into commission ion after aler the end of the last fiscal year yer Mr had to informally call cl at attention attention tenton to some some features of the com Janys operations that could not be te otherwise touched The company has decided to make its it fiscal year end with wih the calendar year ear hereafter so there will wi be no report issued i until nt nUi a ayer year yer from now and it i will vilI wi cover a period of eighteen months hange was made so that tat reports report could be brought practically up to date for the annual meetings General Generl Manager report In full ful is as follows Mine Developments The mine has been developed by b ap approximately approximately proximately 90 feet of underground workings working Very little underground devel development development development has been done since Jan 1 I 1807 10 as the th ore bodies at that time were blocked block d out for many years in advance and It was wa therefore thought best to confine expenditures to the removal 01 of overburden The accompanying map shows only oni the more important un underground underground workings as all al of them could not be shown show without complicating a map drawn on so small a scale scle The ore bodies of the property consist of ot an altered alered porphyry contain containing contin containing ing small grains of ot copper minerals very ver uniformly disseminated throughout the themas mass mas both in fracture seams and in the body of the rock and average about 2 per cent copper 15 of an ounce silver siver siverand and of ot an ounce gold The primary copper mineral is but as a result of oxidization of this mineral and secondary deposition of others other practical practically al Iy ly all al of the sulphide minerals of copper are now nosy present the predominating one being The developed and par partially taly developed area as a shown by accompanying accompanying map covers cover acres o of ground gound About sixty of the acres contain mineralized porphyry of the average avem e value above above stated The remain ing twelve acres average somewhat low lower er probably not much in excess of 15 er cent cent The average thickness of the thc theore ere ore body over this acres has not yet et been fully demonstrated by de development development development but existing developments development in indicate Indicate n an average avem e depth of about 30 feet feet which is equivalent to tons of ore per acre are or tons of the better beter grade ore ores and 1200 ton tons of the te lower grade gd ore Inthis in i thIs body Of the tons of better beter grade material a body of tons Is fully developed or In other words blocked out so that It i ran can an anbe be accurately measured and its value definitely determined tons are partially developed that is to say sy de developments developments developments have gone one far enough to prove the thE existence of this additional of mineral but not sufficiently far to nermit of its Is being measured mea re and on all al sides The remaining 20 2 OI of the tons Is classed cassed as for tor the reason renon that Its Is ex ox existence X Is Ig only shown show hv bv a I limited num number number ber workings working most of which are diamond damond drill drI holes In the area under discussion Is a zone of lower grade ore averaging averaging about 15 per por pr cent and probably containing about tons This hl zone i 1 entirely save by bv diamond drill dri holes boles that pierce it but its has been proven pren wherever drill InC ine ln r has been done 0 Tile The total area Ira of mineralized contained within the boundaries of t the te e Is 1 about 1 m acres leaving ht ares acres atres which are ar re not considered s a In any way developed a n por portion portion tion of Is Ia known know to contain ore of grad prad The ground to the south and east ot of the area shown as developed and par partially partially taly developed and lying bing on the south southside southside side of the canyon also has some possibilities bite This is shown by a number of more or less shallow workings on the round ground and by work donIn dOIn the Imme Immediate Immediate diate vicinity on contiguous cont property On the north side of

developed ope for Cor several hundred feet fEet of its Is length an average grade rde of ore and al ai although although though the main level workings 2 feet vertically below show a lower grade of ot material still there is a chance of de developing developing developing some ore at this point pint The character of the extreme north northeastern northeastern northeastern eastern portion porton of or the property is but slightly known but the workings extend ing furthest In that direction on the thc north side of the canyon are still sti In ore of good grade and there tere Is reason to believe that a portion porton of the area rea wilP wil develop ore bodies bodie of a commercial value The mineralized alze porphyry area ar lying to the west of ot the developed area or flown down dow the canyon Is of lower grade than the average aver e of the property and generally speaking similar to the twelve telve general acres of or ground heretofore mentioned as averaging slightly In excess of 15 per cent In fact I it t Is entirely improbable that this fact area are will wi develop profitable ore ore bodies b but buta a portion of it I will wi do so 10 ceS Taken ns a whole not to exceed one half of the total area known to con tain tam commercial values has been devel devol developed Possibly not to exceed excell of the undeveloped portion porton will wi prove as ac high hi h grade Ade as the portion porton already de developed de developed but It i is i likely that most of he the undeveloped area are will wi contain values that hat the he future futurE will wi show profits In operating In Methods of Mining The primary development on the prop erty orty was wa as laid out with a view to un mining by caving method and until the starting of the Garfield metod plant practically all al the ore extracted was vas mined in this way war The operations of steam shovels have however proved so o satisfactory and economical that un UI mining minin Is being bein abandoned as rapidly as a possible At the present time about 25 2 per pr cent of the total tonnage extracted is coming from underground work vork and practically all al of ot It I from the north side aide of the canyon There are some advantages advantage in continuing under underground underground ground mining in some portions of the property because the ore mined In this way ray is taken from the ore bodies lying directly beneath the capping resulting In the he capping caving into the open slopes and breaking itself so that It ft i Is not necessary to blast it I for steam shoveling On n the north side of the canyon we have havea a high point of ore containing containing about tons which will wi be mined mine entirely by underground methods as it I will wi be bemore bemore bemore more economical cal to mine it I in this way than hail to strip It and mine it by steam shovels on account of the expensive preparation necessary to operate the shovels and remove capping at this high I elevation When the ore is removed at I this ris point the overlying capping will drop to a level conformable with wih the sur wi face in the surrounding vicinity and will wi eventually bo bl removed by steam shovels shovels els as the adjoining areas area are stripped With the exception of this necessary piece of underground work we expect that no further urther furher mining of oC this character will wi be done and the entire entre property on both sides Ides shovels hovels of the canyon win wl be worked by Mine Equipment I The he equipment at the mine consists or of fifteen freen steam locomotives nine of which are ar machines machine of ot pounds weight weight or larger arger six steam shovels four of which are arc re machines and two 1 stripping tripping dump cars of ot six yards ca capacity capacity

of Its Is results result tobe to be represented in the annual balance sheet A portion porton of or the plant was ready redy to start on the first of March arch but wa delayed on account of the of ot transportation facilities The tonnage for tor the year for the Cop Copperton Copperton Copperton plant plant was mined entirely from underground and consequently had no 0 advantage front fr fro cheaper steam shovel mining The Copperton plant was served throughout the year by the Copper Belt Bel railroad and suffered seriously from tron the failure of ot the th railroad to deliver delver sufficient sufficient tonnage This deficiency amounts amount from August August 1906 until April Apri 1907 inclusive inclusive inclusive sive to 80 tons tOiS of ore or approximately matel 50 5 per of oC the tonnage the plant actually received and treated As the plant was as in continuous operation this thia additional tonnage could have been treated with wih very ver little added cost other than the cost of mining and transportation tion ton and the consequent deficiency In earnings was very er large as a the price of copper for those months was high A careful estimate of ot the te amount of re ye resultant de In earnings indicates that that had the Copperton plant been able to operate at Its Is full ful capacity for the period the earnings earning would have been the In Increased
