';J, Nineteen unpatented and ' three patented lode claims,~ all on public domain.

Description: T opog. & Geog.

The property is situated along the backbone of the Dripping Springs Range of mountains at an elevation of approximately 3500 teet above sea level. The Gila River,and the Ar~zo11a Eastern Railroad lie ' about 5 mIas·· to the south, and tJ?e Dripping Springs Wash about 3 miles north. Topography is quite rugged; with deep canyons and precipitous slopes in all directions. Vegetation is extremely scanty. .

Mine Workings: Amt. & Condition

A detailed enumeration 01' mine workings would be too voluminous to ~nclude here. There ~e eight ~s varying in depth from 300 to 500 teet';~ several thousand teet 01' drifts,'1 cross-cuts and tunnels, many irregular stapes alld a variety of shallow surt'ace cuts and pits. Most ot the shafts are open i

but inaccessible without timbering. Much of the lateral work is open anA can be ent,e,red tor examination and sampling. Some ot the old stopes are also accessible.' (over)

2. The pred~nant country rooks on this prop-"rty are the sedimentarias _

• ' ' . ~ (l1mest. :," shale .an .. d quart. zite) . which f'o .. athe . Drippitfg- -spnngs Range~1 -- ~~~ These s entary beds are cut in many pl.s by ... a· series of E-W and

Geology & Milleratization NE...sv- dykes of' diori te and diabase. ' Contact Ol.~ 'b~les ~e found along these dY'kes,' and t~ere has also been a certain amount ot replacement ana mineralization in the Itmestone beds adjacent to the dykes. Copper carbonates and silicates have been deposit­ed in the fractures in sutf'icient quantity to constitute low..grade ore in many places. There , is also some chalCopyrite remaining unaltered in some of the work:1ngs. The walls ot some ot the old stopes are heaVily coated with an efflorescence of oopper and iron sulphates. Ore: Positive & Probable, : Ore Dl.l1nps; Tailings (See appended sheet for further data) ,-" r

The lack of samplingeVidemre renders it impossible to make -'anY 'estinlate as -to the graae ot ore exposed 1n the Various wOrkings. It can be sald however, that there is a large tonnage .;, of copper bearill8 material, much of which might besUtticieiltly 'high ill grade to 'be workablel~ provided that a satisfactory metallurgical treatment eould be worked out.

Road Conditions, Route Take Winkelman highway' for two miles east from Kelvin, then turn. north on road marked With Troy sign. Keep left~hand roacltor a distance ot- ,appro~te~5 mile~· to -property. This road is at present ina bad state of repair @d- WQuldbe hard to J;),egotiate in a modern car. With a relatively small expenditure however , it could be made easily <passable. Roads on the property lead to most of the important mine workings. Water Supply . The1'6 is an ample domestic su])ply Of water on the propertYt~ but no attempt has ever been made to develop any large quantity. The own~r states that a good flow is issuing tro.m one of the tunnels ,on the west end of the propertY',~j ~ t~t most ,of the .deeper ~t~ have encountered considerable wat;er~ The tl-ila R1ve'r "5 miles ' ~othe south 'Jilight also beconsldered as a pos­s1 ble source in the event th8.t the sUpply on the property proved "' inadequatei. Brief History This property has been loca~~ed for many years, the patents being in the neighborhood ot 4Q years old, and the old Troy...Arizona Company spent vast sums of money here. A small smelter was in operation tor a t~ on the westen. portion of the ground. Old stopes show eVidence of considerable -productlon,'~ but th~re are no records ,available :ol't,most, ot this. The pro­perty MS not been worked on any extensive scale since ,1902.: Special Problems, Reports Filed ' ' Most of the ore n<n'1 in sight on the property is jJoo low in grade to pami t of shipping it directly to the Hayden smelter,;' ud the owner is not sufflciently financed to carry out the preliminaI7 sampling and metallurgical test work which would be necessary in order to prove that the ore might be profitably treated on the ground. Careful and intensive work of the sort menti~ned-, above should precede .aDy :such at,t ,empt. ~~Mb ~ '"

The multiplicity ot mine openings and the conseque~t accessibility of ore exposures should make a tho)h-ough sampling job compa~tively s1niple~ '; althoUgla the size of the property is such thai; the number of samples would necessarily be large. Sample results should be quick­ly knowm., as the Hayden smelter assay office is close at hand. '
