Show H DON MAGU1RE AND H HIS LATEST PROJECT A letter from Don Magulro, president and general manugcr of tho Napoleon and Maghcra Copper Mining and Reduction company, launched recently with a capl-tallzatlon capl-tallzatlon of $1,000,000 nnd with the Na-Hj Na-Hj poleon and Maghcra groups, consisting of Hj 240 acres of mlnoral-bcarlng territory in Sierra Madro mining dlstriot, Box Elder county, twelve miles north of Ogden, saya j Work is to bo prosecuted most vigorously 1 and that tho bc-st contained in his long 1 years of cxpcriUnco will bo devoted to tho 1 undertaking. Telling of it, Mr, Magulro "Tho sources of metallic enrichment la this property consist of two Aodes, or cop-pcr-bearlng fissure veins, the ono passing through tho group for its entlro length of 1 6000 feet. This Is what is known as tho i Napoleon and Maghcra lode, passing 14 through the Maghera. Tugcla, Napoloon 1 j and Maine- claims a diBtanco of COCO feet, 1 with an a-cragc of ten fcot at tho outcrop 1 , for C000 foot, and through tho last 1000 1 feet of distance this vein will averago twenty feet in width. "Along with tho Napoleon nnd Maghera 1 lode, there is tho Prince of India copper 1 , lode, which runs through this group for 1 a distance of SOOO feet, with an averago 1 width of ten eot the entire length of Its 1 outcrop within the conflnco of this prop-1 prop-1 . erty, and theso two lodes in their eastern . courso Inside tho condneB of this group 1 join a contact vein, known as the Contact 1 copper lode, that runs across the St. . Dominic, Mary and Maino claims a dln-tancc dln-tancc of 1S0O feet, thus giving a lode racas-1 racas-1 uromcnt of 10,00 fcot in length within this property, 1 "Tho metallic values of theso three lodes j : or veins glvo an assay return of. from 1 r 6 to 45 per cent copper, with gold values , a ' of Jl to $2 per ton and from 1 to 4 ounces of silver per ton." The coppor lodo lias boon prospected to dopths of three to ton feet along its entlro distance- Tho oro exposed la qulto cxtonsiv. "the aitnation of tho vein being such that It can bo opened to a depth of more Uiatf 000 foet." While tho dro may bo delivered by puck-trail a distance of half e mile to Bonnovllle on tho Oregon Short Line, an aerial tramway for tho transmission of 100 to S00 tons a day to tho foot of tho hill will coat but $lo,000. "An thoro Js a large percentage of tho output of theso mines requiring concentration, a mill for that purpose must bo provided, which will requfta on expenditure of $20,-000. $20,-000. In the development and opening of thejso mines to tho DOlnt of oro anlpnicnt to market, a conservatively high estimate places the cost at J15.000. Thus wo Bee that our jcroup of copper mines requires only JoO.OOO, exclusive of the fitting up of tho property with such features as bulid-IngB, bulid-IngB, tool3. machinery nnd other essential wants of die property, making in all a demand de-mand for ?65,o00 to equip tho mine to the point of heavy production." The friends -of Mr. Magulro and his nimo-clatcs nimo-clatcs wish thorn all klndu of pucccoo In tho undertaking. |
