Show THE SEMINOLE GROUP AND OTHER DEEP CREEKS Tho Seminole Copper company, controlling control-ling twelve claims, and the "Wilson Consolidated Con-solidated company, owning eight clnims, In the Clifton district, both of which occupy oc-cupy contiguous Kround to those recently recent-ly de3crlbod In Tho Tribune, are well worthy of consideration. As an earnest of tho worth of thoso grounds, the fact of work enough having been done to patent the same speaks for Itself. Tho Seminole sroup lay3 In a porphyretlc pranlte formation, with lime as Its contact. con-tact. Tho ore belt Is, from Its float; Indication, not less than 250 feet In width. The porphyry formation Is of the monzonlte class, and by those who are acquainted, pronounced the same as that of Bingham and Ely districts. Throughout Through-out the width of float conditions, the outcrop of copper sulphide and carbonates car-bonates Ik present In small quantity, with numerous shoots of ore comlnG to the surface showing copper as high as 30 per cent at grass roots. A shaft Is now being sunk with the object of exploring ex-ploring this Immense deposit at low.er depths. In addition to Its copper, this group has one of tho largest gold-bcarlnu veins In that part of the mineral zone. Here free gold enn be readily found from il half dozen different veins. On the four adjacent claims somo of the richest rich-est silver and lend ore yet found In the district graco the dumps. Those veins are traceable for over 3000 feet, with no doubt of Indefinite continuance when future effort Is made. The Wilson Consolidated Con-solidated group of fourteen claims, olght of which arc In Clifton district and six In Willow Springs district, arc meritorious to that extent that future description will have to be. given, by reason of Its four metal conditions, and particularly Its bismuth and gold worth. Tho Willow Wil-low Springs group baa a lino showing of copper and lead-silver ore, and is rated as one of the best In that district This group Is on the same belt and between the Western Pa el tie Copper company and the Apex properties, both shlpperu of high-grade ores ahovc named. Tho Incorporation In-corporation Is of recent, date, and as stated to your correspondent, a mill will be erected In the near future as a necessity neces-sity to future development. ' Tho Western Pacific Copper Co. The Western Pacific Copper company, also in Willow Springs district, own prop-orty prop-orty of more than passing notic. Tho ores arc found mostly In dolomitle limestone, lime-stone, which constitute that particular mineral bolt. The trend of this bolt Is northerly and southerly, witn a dip of about 40 degrees to tho west. The belt Is cut from tho southwest to. northeast by numerous dykes of porphyry. This belt extends for several miles along tho east side of Ibapah range. Tho north end of this belt has exhibited Its worth by small but extraordinarily high-grade ore. . The water and timber conditions are perfect. From ore shipments the company can present values showing the following' results; re-sults; Copper, 13 per cent; lead, 25 per cont; Iron, 24 por cent, and sliver. 300 ounces. The greatest depth attained Is 250 fool, A tunnel has been started to Intersect the shaft nt Its 530-foot level. It is expected and believed by mining 'men of experience that before tho conjunction con-junction of the tunnel and shaft has been reached sulpbldo ores of srently Increased values will be heard from through the columns of The Tribune. |
