Show GEOLOGIST BEESON'S BEESONS BEESO E E SONS SON'S NS N'S OPINION OF EMMA COPPER IS GOOD GOU Geologist Beeson is continuing hi his re research research research re- re search work at the Emma Copper in i Alta AHa and is making good progress Jr In mapping the various formations he ue has no hesitancy hesitancy hesi hesi- tancy in saying aying that he thinks Emma Copper has great possibilities Of ot his hi more recent findings ho he says ays I believe that beyond the Montezuma find fault lt P probably there are larger ore r rbt bt bodies than as those o largo large r a have been mined d from the tho soluble lime Ime- Ime It stones I In time tho past es The I drift is now passing through a a ver very hard highly limestone There is but little doubt that the fissures of sulphide ore which we wo are arenow arenow arenow now passing through will make O ore It in quantity n In a a. soluble I lime wi The I drift t is isnow now nosy crosscutting lB ut i the I eb beds sO so a change h ge h Inthe in inthe the thc limestone may soon be expected The study of the structure of the Emma Copper property y and adjoining n mines ha shown g i r that in yd d detail the nal ela faults plex P II have made the geology seemingly al comP com com- In the tho larger aspect the geology Is qui quite te 1 simple lP It has s been found that the ore bodies which produced millions in the early days das are nil all al included in certain strata strata time the soluble beds beds In In a large lage blocK bloc of ot limestone limestone lime lime- stone beds between betweEn two great faults The two great faults fauls the Flagstaff and the tIme Montezuma which are roughly parallel paral paral- lel id stand out as prominent features Inthe in inthe inthe the topography of the mountains and andare andare andare are traceable for miles mies by outcrops outcrops outcrops out out- crops and vertical fault scarps The fault scarps rise In places as vertical walls wals more than feet high It I is between these two fault planes that time the ore bodies which have made the camp famous in the past were worked on upper levels All Al of ot the ore bodies according to the geologists geologist's observations when they ran into th the tho eastern or Montezuma fault plane This fault plane is what puzzled the early arly miners They had all au al been working to the west in the side whereas the continuation con con- of the ore bodies according to the geological survey Just made has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt to exist to the east of the Montezuma fault in what is termed the time hanging wall wail wal side The Herzig drift Is heading directly for this point The Time development work of the tIme Emma Copper company with the exception of ot the time Herzig drift has been done along the Snow fault Cault a minor fault in importance which cuts across the mineralized mineralized miner miner- section of the country lying between between be be- tween the Flagstaff to the west and and the Montezuma fault faul plane to the east Thus it forms an inverted N This fault which is cuts across the formation formation for for- mation maton of the ore bodies The ore which has been struck from time to time along this fault plane has been found in small bunches In the drag and in small faulted smal blocks of ot limestone adjacent to the fault tault The Herzig drift was started out from the Snow fault along one of the minor faults to the time cast east but has now been turned northeast to intersect the time Montezuma Montezuma Monte Monte- onte- onte zuma fault and explore the hanging wall side wal The down throw of ot the Montezuma fault to the r east according c. c n to a rough a approximation ap ap- ap 0 i is a tt from to feet ta so that from the present workings in t the time Herzig drift it will require wi several hundred hun hun- dred Ired feet teet of drifting to encounter the faulted section of the Vallejo Valejo ore body There is a probability however that a considerable block of the faulted portion of the famous Vallejo Valejo ore body will wi porton be encountered above the level of the present present pres pres- ent workings |
