TONS OF.
10 PER CENT ORE
CONTACT MINE SOUTH OF LOS
TINE AND NEAR ENTERPRISE
SHOWS GOOD.
William Hunter, R. B. Bowman, O.
Mayes and H. J. Martin, alt of
..ostine, were In Enterprise Tues
;ay on business. These gentlemen
re interested in the Contact mine,
last over Into the range from Enter
prise, and from Interviews held with
lr. Hunter who has the development
vork In charge the mine presents
in excellent showing. According to
hat gentleman the mine is a low
jrade primary proposition running
rom 7 to 15 per cent copper in
.ose quartz. This is all the more
iraisoworthy la that the copper pro
lucers of the country from Mexico
o Canada, are low grade primary
leposits rather htan high grade sec
ndary precipitations. It is perhaps
.villi in the. whole truth to state that
he copper producers- wiiih but rare
exceptions will run from 7 to 13 per
cent.
There is on the surface of the
'Contact" prope.ty mentioned, ac
cording to a conservative estimate b
.Ir. Hunter, at teist 100,000 tons of
10 per cent copper ore. But the
nine management does not contem
plate spending the proceeds of the
nine before It is an established pro
lucer. and thus development work
s being prosecuted steadily with no
iittempl at shipments. This work has
.M?en progressing since last fall and
i.3 to be continued. Thus far the
miners have reached a verticle depth
jf over 300 feet and have driven one
.unnel 300 feet along the line of con
tact. Development work, such as this
-ompany is doing, Is the only thing
-he Enterprise mineral district needs
And the "Contact" management is
to be complimented upon Us con
jervative policy.
