road mining fining A district he says it is another cripple creek and the greatest mining camp he has inspected in twenty five years he knows of no other camp where the future is so thoroughly assured and predicts an ore tonnage from the mines here within a few years that may place arizona at the head of the gold producing states in the extensive vein systems of this camp he recognizes ore production possibilities bili ties of almost limitless n magnitude agni tude he sees in the immense zone of milling grade ore our greatest source of mineral wealth and believes that it assures the permanent prosperity of the district he is gratified at the f faith aith the residents of the camp have in its mines as demonstrated by their investments facts such as these are emphatic said he they speak for themselves mr air visited this camp for the purpose of ascertaining its present and future resources and returned to los angeles an ardent advocate of its merit his J itinerary included an auto trip to all sections eions of the district and investigation of the water and milling facilities and an in spec tion of the forty foot ledge of high grade milling ore opened en cn the foot level in the united eastern mine in an interview with your correspondent mr said another cripple greek creek the tom reed gold road mining alining district tract is another cripple creek both in area in aln magnitude of ledge outcrop and in ore C 1 tonnage possibilities it is the greatest 0 mining camp I 1 have inspected in ra f years in fact it is the best mining P proposition ro position I 1 have visited since early cripple I 1 PP le creek days your mines will within Is a few years be adding millions to the gold J supply of the world and ma may y place arizona at t the head of the gold producing safes states F r correspondent oatman ariz I 1 1 I know of no camp where the future is so thoroughly assured you have mining operations in full swing throughout a seven by ten mile area and insofar as the distribution trib ution of gold values has bearing thereon I 1 can see no reason why the scope of mining activity could not be extended under equally as satisfactory mineral conditions production possibilities in the extensive vein systems of your camp there are ore production possibilities of almost limitless magnitude and under tinder the energizing of proper development work they will output a tonnage equal to that of cripple creek or any other of the famous camps the tom reed mine with its bullion record of nearly a million and a quarter dollars per year and the gold road mine with its annual bullion output of approximately stand on the outcrop of your mammoth dyke system like semaphores pointing the way to the mineral wealth secreted in the surrounding hills the gold is there awaiting the hand of him who has the pluck and patience to dig it out the Stand patters grimes Alus hrush and jones the men who stood staunchly caily behind the tom reed during its period of vicissitude backing their faith with their dollars knew the gold was there and were never really happy till they got it the gold road mine tells today the story of a golden fortune made possible by the energy of men who had the courage of their convictions during the yesterday of self denial and hard work the united eastern mine poised upon the threshold of production will stand for all time as a monument to the sta stamina inina and faith of long Al mclver elver keith and mudd the mine presents all of the bullion possibilities ties of the tom reed and gold road properties an and should add materially to the gold output of your camp Is as soon as it is provided with proper milling facilities the united western adjoining is to be developed ol 01 alo P bd iby by men whom I 1 know kno w have the ai iq industry S t ry and intelligence necessary to place it on the list of shipping mines 0 o source of wealthy inquiry abid observation have convinced me that this is not a district in which sensational sat ional strikes of high grade ore will be frequent although I 1 have been informed that ore of phenomenal richness has been mined here in fact act f I 1 am strongly of the opinion that your greatest source of wealth is the immense zone of milling grade ore which predominates throughout the camp the ore production possibilities thereof I 1 have never seen presented elsewhere except in cripple creek As a matter of fact I 1 have never visited a camp where the ore occurrences as a whole are so similar to those of colorados great gold camp high grade ore is of course a big help to a camp in a publicity way as it attracts a degree of attention among people in general which is not vouchsafed to ore of less spectacular value it is however the lower grade ores that assure the permanent prosperity of a mining district big milling camp the tom reed gold road district is in my judgment a great big milling proposition the stability of its mines rests upon a foundation of medium grade free milling ore whose precious metal content is largely gold the reduction problem is theer fore easily solved insofar as it applies to the extraction process how and where to obtain that essential factor water is a more difficult chast of the problem for a time at least the subterranean flow that will be in the various mine workings will probably supply the need in conjunction with the flow available through the medium of developed water rights ultimately however the ore tonnage will be so large you will be forced to go to the colorado river for your water supply however the cost of piping and pumping it from that source should not be formidable A cause of surprise 1 I am agreeably surprised at the faith the residents of the tom reed gold road district have in the future of its mines nearly every person residing in a camp which is coming into prominence will talk about its prospects but it is somewhat unusual to visit a new mining community where real money is doing most of the talking why there is scarcely a grown person in the entire camp who does not own stock in one or more of your mining companies local backing together with a really phenomenal ore showing has sent united eastern stock from 25 cents to 2 per share local people oversubscribed over subscribed at 25 cents per share within three days an issue of shares of un united 1 ted lV western estern through which estate is said to pass the continuation aej on of the united eastern ora ore body I 1 lia linro p been een informed by ali people thaC Tom reed gold road district mining sto aft 0 the P has been su albed 0 foi IN oa 0 il people pie living within a vc ia alus of twenty five miles of here F facts acts such as these are em emphatic ph they speak for themselves speculative trend 1 I believe that the trend of speculative sentiment is again favorable to mining to legitimate mining not to made in a night mines and irresponsible mining companies the day of the wildcatter and his wierd promotion is a tale that is told they have no place in the present and would find no favor with the investing public clean honest mining propositions will however in popular dav favor 0 r JE A my judgment grow 0 torn this time on and receive popular support t the mines of t this his district will probably have first call with the investing public if you give the public a square deal you will find the public responsive in a measure equal to your most sanguine hopes then in due course will be established here one of the best known and most profitable mining camps in the united states in all the mining essentials it Is a wonder camp right now to me though the greater wonder is why its worth has not been heralded long before this |
