Also, Mn ore shows in the walls of the various tunnels and mine workings.

FIELD ENGINEERS REPORT

Aguila, Ariz. Date Jan 6 th 1943

Engineer A. C. Nebeker

Subject: Progress since getting the Gov. Loan.

This property is being operated by :M. S. Ponton and J. M. Viebh with a government loan.

The property is now e~uiped with a compressor, hOist, jackhammer, building and a pick-up

truck.

At present four men are employed cleaning up the old workings.

The old works which are of the nature of winzes, drifts and drift tunnels were filled

in with muck, and !Vir Webb has been . cleaning this out so, new faces of ore could be seen

and samplei. The fillings along the tunnel has been 5 to 10 feet deep and so far

150 feet of tunnel has been cleaned up and two winzes which were found in the cleaning

process, have been cleaned out. In,one of these winzes ore vms found in place which

is claimed will run 3510 to ~fo Manganese.

There has been 20 to 25 tons of approximately 35'10 ore saved while cleaning out the

old lob.

The operators expect to double up their operatings in the next week and will be ready to

work on ore. They plan to make their shippments to the Phoenix stock pile.

Subject: B HIE F REPORT

.. O\iNERS: :Mrs. M • .5. Ponton. 822 W. 6th st.·, Los Angeles, Calii"., & ,1. B} ~iebb, Aguila" Arizona. Ponton & 14ebb located these two claims during 1939; but the same \'lere relooa ted d~r1ng 19ltO by M. A. Smith­wick, at aI, of Aguila. At the time of visit, June 23, 1942. both of these claims ~/ere in litigation •

• 1~1ETALS : Nranganese t mangan1 te, pyrolusl te and pe11omelane.

LOCATION: Property 18 located 15 miles south of Aguila, a stat10n on the santa Fe railroD,d, and 1s reached from that point over a county maintained dirt ~qd in good condition.

BLACK NUc-.G,ETT NO. 1 CLAlr~r: This claim 11es on the flank of' a low ridge of red biotite (9.ndeslte. The vein oovered by this cla 1m is from 3 to 8 feet wide; atrik1ne; N. 30 degrees W. and dips 45 deg-rees SVI. It 1s opened by surface stopes and open cuts from ~o to 20 feet deep a t ,intervals for 700 feet, which may be considered the length of the ore shoot. At the N'){ end of the shoot 1s a shaft on vein 50 feet deep all in manganese ore, assaying 25 per cent 1n that metal, per I!lr. Webb.

l

BLi\CK NUGGETT NO. 2 CLAI!"r: On this claim there are two veins: the , East vein and --the west vein, 100 feet apart and parall.eling each other. The strike of these veins is from north to south; the East ve1n dipping 80 degrees west and the 1ieat ve1n 80 degrees east. The East vein was developed by an open cut ending in a tunnel for a total length of 150 feet. a bove which 1s another open cut and tunnel on vein with a combined length of 80 feet. Vein averages from 2 to 6 feet wide. At top of hill 1s a abaft 12 feet deep on vein, showing 3 feet of manganese ore in place. Length of ore shoot, so f a r opened, approxl~1.tea 250 feat, The 1iest vein 1s 12 feet wide and has man­ganese ore in eroppings for a length of 500 teet. This is a moat excellent showing of manganese ore; but unfortunaftely this vein has not been explored except by 0. few shallow test p1ts. Sh0171ng ore estima ted to run from 8 to 15 per cent manganese.

ORS SH IP!~/TENTS: Mr. \!{ebb stated t hat a round 25 car loads of manganese ore were shipped from this property during 1918 by irlm. i 1-1. Ebner; said ore averaging around 43 per cent manganese, low in deleterious metals, except calcite whioh is abundant in the ore. However, t he ore 1s low in silica and iron.

ab"U- t:-ORE RES EHVES: . rrhere are ? JPs7!aet1300 tons of ore on dumps averaging a round 20 per cent ma.nganese. No ore has been blocked out in the workings of property. The ore showings on the surrace, however. lfarrant the expend1 ture of a.round $75. 000 to be spent in sinking two work1ng shafts 200 feet deep each and blooking out the three ore shoots ment10ned to that depth.

Subject: BRIEF REPORT

\ Olh~ERS. Mrs. M. S. PontoIl, 822 w. 6th st., Loa Angeles, Callfornia, and J. B. Webb, Aguila, Arizona. Ponton and Webb located these two claims during 1939. but the same were reloca.ted during 1940 by 14. A. Smithwick, at al, of Aguila. At the time of visit, June 2), 1942, both of theeeclaims were in litigation.

l.

M~I Manganese: manganite, pyrol.usite and ps1lomelana.

LOCATION: Property is located 15 miles south of Aguila, a station on the Santa Fe railroad, and is reached trom that point over a eounty maintained dirt road in goodoondition.

BLACK HUGGETT NO.1 CLAIM: This claim lies on the flank of a low ridge of red biotite andesite. The vain oovered by this olaim 1s from 3 to S feet wide, striking N. 30 degrees W. and dips 45 degrees SW. It is opened by surt'aae stopes and open outs from 10 to 20 feet deep at intervals tor 700 feat, whioh may be considered the length or the ore shoot. At the NVV end of the. shoot is a ahaft on ,.ein 50 teat deep all in manganese ora, asaay1.ng 25 per oent ill that metal, per Mr. Webb.

BLACK NWGE'rr NO. 2 CLAIM: On this claim there are two veins: the East vein and the west vein, 100 teet apart and paralleling eaoh other. The strike of these Teins is f"rom north t ' l south. the East vein dipping 80 degrees west and the West vein 80 degrees east. The East vein was developed by an open cut ending in a tunnel tor a total length of 150 feet, above which is another open cut and tunnel on vein with a oombined length ot SO teet. Vein ·averages from 2 to 6 feet wide. At top of hill 1s a shaft 12 feet deep on vain, showing 3 feet of manganese ore in place. Length of ore shoot, so far opened, approxi­mates 2,0 feet. The West vain is 12 teet wide and has manganese ore in crop­p1.ngs tor a l .ength of ;00 feet.. This is a most excellent showing of manganese orSt but unfortunately this vein has not been explored except by 8. taw sha.llow test :pits, showing ore estimated to run trom 8 to 15 percent ma.nganese.

ORE SHIPMENTS: Mr. Webb stated that around 25 ear loads of manganese ore were shipped from this property during 1918 ,by WrIt. M. I Ebner, said ore averaging around 43 per cent manganese, low in deleterious metals, except oalcite whioh is abundant in the ore. However, the ore 1s low in silica and iron.

ORE RESERVES: There are about 300 tons o:t ore on dumps avera.ging around 20 par cent manganese. No ore has been blocked out in the workings ot property. The ore showinas on the s~ac., howev·er-, warrant the expend! ture of around $75,000 to be spent in sinking two working shafts 200 f'eet dee}) each and blooking out the three ore shoots mentioned to that dep"th.

ES1'IMATED PRODUCTION: It is be-lisTed 1t the above work could be carried out, under intalligsnt management. 8roUlld 200,000 tons of ore would be uno overed with an. estimated Tslue ot 15 percent manganese, this estimate being merely a rank guess. Also, it this estimate should. materialize, the property would probably produce around 100 tons of ore pel:' clay tor the proposed Parker plant over a period ot aeTera! years.

Subject: Development Loan

Mr Orem did not arrive, so I drove on out to the Webbcamp which is 15 miles south of town, and from there went on out to the Black Nugget which is I1a miles farther out, and went to the _ Victory group which is 4 miles farther out, and both on a rough road.

It appears that the owner wanted to receive some encouragement and advice in getting date tor the application on development loan.

I explained to them how to out the assays and make an assay map, and also how to make a Plan map of their workings and claims. Advised them to be accurate and to include . all data they could get together, including settlement sheets of ores shipped.

Mr. E. B. Holt ( Engineer) having spent considerable time on this property, and having made a report, I did not make a detailed study of the properties. I did observe that the Manganese made in a large fractured fault fissure having walls of a reddish~ica- andesite ( Latite) and this crushed zone is 4 to 8 feet thick. . 'llhe owners have made workings on five or six places in the vein, some are shallow while others followed by trenching approximately IOO feet and to a depth of about 25 feet.

There are a fmv strong croppings which the owners have not yet prospected and warrant digging into.

The main country rock is granite.

. .. I was informed that the ore shipped averaged around 42% :manganese, and there is a few piles now on the dump, which no doubt will assay around 42%. There is a large tonnage on both properties of lower grade ore. some of which will make a good grade by sorting and cobbing the same.
