Dear Slr:

Writer h~S. been. inf?rmed o~ your pr.obable i.nter.e.st ;n. a l.~rie mining undertak1ns, Wh1ch 16 partlally developed to the extent of ,100.000 and is available to lessee or purchaser on astr~ight royalty, no cash advance and paid for from 50rlO~ of ore proceeds applied topurohase price. Should you not be itltereeted I possibly you would desire to refer this to someone who is , inwhioh case '151€ or $30,000 would be allowed you fOr engineering or similar services. A short description follows:

MINE: Eastern Arizona. Gold, silver and oopper, 41 claims. Develop­ment $100,000. 3,000 feet of workings (tunnel). Over 5 miles' extensive mineral~zed traceable veins t several reaching 15 to 20 feet wide and outoropping across property. Good assay "al-

.,uea throughout. Authoritative data.,hpndreds of a.ssays. Sta.nds persistent investigation. Price $200,000 on straight royalty basis, or other pOSSible arrangement. Includes· 55 a.cre dam and mill site on whioh government oontemplates oonstruction of $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 dam, whioh project recently again passed the Uni ted States Senate'! Climate exoellent for year 'round operation •. Water plentiful. Now ready for mill. Prop­erty haa great future potenti~lities.

Available only to large operator, financially able to op~rate on substantial scale, making it possible to av~il themselves of several million tons of ore now .in sight t . and financially able to open the additiona.l tonnage in the sulphides in the veins outcropping across property • Property obtainable only because of unusual ciroumstances, It is rare' to find property of such potentialities not already in operation and producing. Owners a.re ~ot versed in mining nor are they in posi tion to undertake development or mining and milling, therefore it is offered for your consideration.

Clifton, Arizona

Dear Mr. Buckley:

SEP J , PHOEri

I'am pleased to learn from your letter of August 5th that you are resuming production at the

'Polaris Mine.

1943

Assuming that your future shipments will be of substantially the same analysis as heretofore, we can readily use this material as copper converter flux either at our El.Paso Plant or at our plant at Hayden, Arizona.

At the present time, we are short of highly silicious fluxing ores for our converter opera­tions at Hayden. Consequently, after you get into steady production, we shall probably ask you to divert your :-sl1ipments to that plant,. In making these diversions, we would make settlement on the basis of the El Paso sche­,dule and, lID til further no tice, would absorb the differ­ence in freigh:t rate. In other words, your net return would be the same at Hayden a.s if you had shipped to El Paso. '

cc:B"N.Rickard H.O.Woods.

Yours truly,

J

RECEiVED OCT 171942

PHOENiX, ARIZONA

Clifton, Arizona October 12, 1942

Mr. J. S. Coupal, Director Department of Mineral Resources, Phoenix, Arizona

Dear Mr. Coupal:

In reply to your letter of October 2nd. rel­ative to speeding up production and probably ren­der assistance 'where needed.

I, am enclosing copies of most of the exhibits I have mailed to Washington, D. C. in my application for a Development IJoan of $20,000.00. I think you will find they cover the questions and information requested in your Mine Wwners' Report, Numbers from 1 to 33 •

. The main reason we are not :producing is lack of finance, our equipment is meager as you will note, one small compressor only large enough to run one hammer'~

About a year ago we moved it from the Golden Eagle, where we were able to produce in a small way as you will note from the Smelter Sheets. We moved up the canyon on what is YJlown as the Black Prince and Lady Fr.-anklin veins, these veins are much larger than the Golden Eagle, but to ~ate we have been able to develope only mill ore in qUal1.ities, not wi thstand­ing the fact picked samples run highr'.,' in Co:p:per, Silver and Gold, however, we are now running a cross-cut from the Black Prince over to the Lady Franklin and ex­pect to intersect the vein any round at 100 feet depth. We are ho:ping that at this de:pth we will encounter at least a portion of the vein of a shipping grade and enable u~to go on production at an early date.

In our r:>lan submitted to the R. II. C. for a loan to develope the Golden Eagle by sinking a shaft as out­lined. Our reasons are first, the fact the Golden Eagle rY£cD:U~:jJhight say is all re~dy a,)deve'lop~d mine

Page 13: CONTACT INFORMATION Mining Records Curator Arizona ...docs.azgs.az.gov/OnlineAccessMineFiles/M-R/PolarisGroupGreenlee… · admmr polaris group file admmr u file admmr info skillings

in a small way. Secnnd, the values in Copper and Zinc arefair and indications show that the Cop~er and Zinc values will materially increase as depth is gained. I realize that at this critical. time when Copper, Zinc and other strategic metals are needed so much that Gold and Silver is mCb.re or less frowned upon, never the less, the values in these two metals will enable us to produce considerable Copper and Zinc without installing a mill which

I takes time and money and I realize from wh~Lt you told me when I called on you in Phoenix "that what was wanted was production now, which mass good sense'. Third, we have a road up to the Golden Eagle which ena1hilies us to truck the ore to the railroad for $2.00 per ton. To operate any other place on our property a road would have to be bui~t or resort to a donkey's back.

To make my story short, Mr. Coupal, ifit is possible for you to crovvd, say $5,000.00 loan th:nro.ugh at once it will enable us toggon prod .... uotion just as soon as we are able to install a compressor and some equip~ent. In the mean time the $20,000.00 loan ,less $he $5,000'.00 loan could be made if our showing justifies.

After going over our exhibits, maps, smelter returns, assay certificates and etc. you feel justified- in sending one of your field men over here to check up on us and our property, I will be glad to meet him am Clifton and take him over

·the works, also furnish him all the information ahd (lata required.

Because of the fact that I must put most of my time in at the mine, on short notice wire me when to meet your field man % Mr. Harold ]'reeland, Central Hotel, Clifton, if it is a matter of days a regular letter will' reach me in time for me to be in Clifton when he arriVes.

\

I wish to state further that I have some first class used equipment in view that can be bou~ht at a bargain such as we need.

Buckley,

Dear Mr. Coupal;-

Thanks for sending me the form fo~ fIlling in and correction. I

really don~t believe they will be able to finance the mill with sh1ppingore, as it 'is not rich enough to clear them very muoh,

but if they should l1l8,nage to get 1 t on -the ground, with a good millman in charge, they should soon be out of the red.

KAP WR 9/6/79: A vi si t was made to the Phe 1 ps DO,dge Metcalf Mine in Greenlee Count.}'. In the company of Jim Madson, Mine Foreman, we toured the Metcalf open'pit copper mining oper~ ation. The geology, mineralogy, and operations are well described in a variety of technical literature. However, a few interesting points were noted: The Metcalf crude ore storage, primary and secondary crushers and fine ore storage are 1 inked by rai 1 to the simi 1 ar 'com­ponents at the Morenci Mine which facilitates transfer of ore back and forth for best utilization of crushing and mill capacity. The Metcalf Mine presently consists of three separate pit operations: The Metcalf, the Shannon or Standard and the ,~j,rut. C~.i"Q;Q'mMgYnt9JJ)). They eventually will all become one pit. The Metcalf Mine produces oxide ore~ sulfide and a mixed ore. lhe oxide-sulfide mixed ore is first crushed, ground and treated by flotation and the flotation tailings are then leached in a special tailings leach plant. 10/12/79 mw

These claims lie "in the area of 4.5 to 7.~ miles north of Clifton and NE of Morenci in the Colorado Gulch and Chase Creek area, and include the Pol~ris Group of 60 claims, the Colorado claims, and the Cottonwood claims.

~,,(.,:~~'''d,';O:.;.;,~. \'.'["~.~.Y ~ .. : :"""..-:--..!.!1.,:V" ..... ~:.~_~~,~~r\~.?'ct-~_~ /:,.". l' '''' ........ ''' .. ~

Property; Known f'or many years as the(,Po~ar1.SGr0t1p;~ composed of more than 20 unpatentedcla1ms, a'1·r.,·tfO~:"tln'der""option to and in cont:ro1 of the Viotory Mining Co. of which Mr J.W.' Buckley of Clifton, Arizona , i 1s President and manager.

Th1s report is limi ted to a statement of the mineralization as now v1sible, within the Golden Eagle tunnel and the,

Phonolite tunnel, about 90 t lower than the Golden Eagle level.

Location;, The Polaris olaims are situated high up on an east slope and shoulder of the mounta1ns about 10 mIles northerly trom Clifton, the elevation at the portal of the Golden Eagle tunnel if!J 4,500' while at the orossing of the San Francisc'o river some four miles southeasterly from the mine, the elevation read a little over 3,000' • tn 4 miles of winding narrow road, nearly 1,300' difference of elevation was recorded.

B,oads ----- Leaving Clifton the San Francisco river road is followed up stream and in a general north direction for about 5 miles to a crossing which is only fordable for motor vehicle d.uring dry season and low water. J\t"t~J'" crossing the river the road contInues up the left bank for ahout :3 miles, thence turning more 'wester1y, a narrow steep wind1ng road reaohes the V1ctory

. buildings and ore bin. ' . .

It is in project to construct a road. from Chase creek and the Coronado Trail road, some tew miles easterly, to se~ve the rather important mining belt, comprehending several em,all prodUction mines of the Polaris area; giving them an all year transitable road to railroad switch at Clifton.

!elnD!.!eri¥tion ; As opened by the two above named tunnels is a fissure o oonsiderable oontl11ulty, with walls def'ined and st:ruotural~ deep seated. 'The vein width may range trom 2' to 5' but the i ..

ore lenzes or shoots are more acourately stated as being from one to three t'est in w1dth. This fissure has a dip of 80 Deg. towards the nor.thwest subjeot to local dar'laotions, slicken -sides and selvage along the walls, the veln material mostly quartz, h1ghly silicious to being a oonvertor flUX, now required by most of the smelters.

Minera11zation ; I beleive to be of the hot solution or1gin and that a large proportion of the deposItion of silica, will contain more cop~er and iron pyrites,.beneath the top oxidation.

It is noted that the oopper oontent of the ores is higher in .the floor and back ot, the Phonolite tunnel, tha'n in the upper Golden Eagle, also the average thickness of the vein.

2 seems to have increased slightly.

The ore shoots so far opened 1n these two tunnels ar.e from 20 t to50' in length, then will pinch for a tew feet to a narrow streak, to 'again reopen to 2" or more; ore faoes of 3' are visible in the stope of the Phonolite tunnel.

As 7 settlement sheet s from the smelter at El Paso, were.~ .. examined for ore grade and analysis,! did not take vein samp~,s

, the owner designating the ore lots from the corrosponding stopes.

The 236 tons sold to smelter per the reoords in hand show _an average copper content of 2.5% almost.5 Oz' gold and about 4. Ozs, e11vel-; It is to be expected the copper content may be higher following the ore shoots below the floor or the Phonolite tunnel~ as at this level more eVi.denC9 of primary mlneral is seen.

The vein on the Golden Eagle level is opened for fully 250' along its southwest course from portal and at the heading has attained a depth of about 1101 beneath the oropping~ the 'veln here be1ng 2t thick.

The Phonoll te tunnel is in all nearly 400' but the r irst 180' 1s an ad1t driven to cut the vein stratagraphleally beneatb the portal of' the upper tunnel, thence follOWS the vein along 1 ts southwest strike for about 220'. The last or most Innermost port1on of ~h1s tunnel 1s caved and I was unable to determine the ~1ze or grade of the ore. except by ladder leading to over­-head stope, the vein here varys around 3· in width.

Herewith attatehed a sketch map of the above described tunnels and stopes, forming the basis of th~s report.

Geolos1cal Features ; Igneous formations of the Pre-Cambrlanage eXtend1ngeastward from the sohists of,the Metcalfe area,are' the caseing rocks of ,the fissu'res within the Pollaris group.

A rhyolite dyke forme the east or footwall o·f the Golden Eagle vein and related metamor-ph18 andesltio rocks surround and occupy the 1mmediate area.

There are in aloee prox1mity other fissures and dykes, showing both in cl'opplngs and in the mine cuts attractive minera11zation and structural extent, capable ot housing simllar ores. as now showing in the Phonolltetunnel.

!!!!!...DeveloRment ; Of the veln system has been sl()w,. as the Lessees are of small means, having to depend in a large measure on ore sales to provlde working capital. The operators have ne1ther the m1ne opened up sufficiently to allOW of:: a proper commercia.l quanttty of ore produced da.lly and f 01' the 'palSt.', few years . smelter ores from this locality, found a market"at El P,.,~o, Texas, quite distant and eostly rail freight. .

When the new smelter at Morenci will ~9cept oooasional carlots and engage in custom smelting, a saving should be made of $2.00 per ton, in ra1l freight.

Page 26: CONTACT INFORMATION Mining Records Curator Arizona ...docs.azgs.az.gov/OnlineAccessMineFiles/M-R/PolarisGroupGreenlee… · admmr polaris group file admmr u file admmr info skillings

/- \

Further contemplated development of the veln, calls for advancing both tunnels along the southwest strike, until the limIts of the m1nera1izat1on are reaohed.

An Upra1se from thePhono11te adhering to the ore shoots, tp connect with the Golden Eagle tunnel some lOOt or more beyond t he present ends of the tunnelS, should add greatly to the ore reserves-

Sinking a w1nze on the widest ore shoot found along the floor of the Phonolite tunnel to a depth of 50' or more, would also contribute to the rapid enlargement of this mine.

EconomlcFeatures ; There are cont1nuous springs of water w1tEIn-tfietcla.ims and by s1nking on the Phono1iteveln, it 1s possible that suff10ient water for a meta1urgieal plant will be developed, as conSiderable seep is now noted. f'rom • this veln; The SanFranoiseo river nearest point to mine a-bout 2 miles" is also a reliable souroes of water for all purposes.

To market ( ores from the Pollaris group say a.t 1,"oreno1 Smelter, the costs on an ore of a smelter assay value of $20. are about as follows;.

Gross Smelter Value per ton $20.00 Smelting eost per ton $4.00 ., Trueking to smelter 3.00 . .. .. .....7.00

. -- -- Net Smelter--n~-

On obtain1ng a full premium price for the copper eontentof .. , the Pollaris ores, this would ada about $3.00 per ton onttle<se 2 1/2% shipments and would oover the trucking cost from rll1ne to smelter.

BUQ1{LEY REPORT

c. GEOLOGY THE VICtrORY MINING CO. INC.

Reconstruction Financ.e Corporation

Gentlemen:

The following report upon the present condition of The 'Victory lVIining Co. Inc. is hereby presented. :Elor your convenience a 'sux,mnary is given first, followed by detailed discussion. A sketch map of the vein system accompanies this report.

SUMMARY

Loe~tion~ In the Greenlee Gold Mountain Mining District, 7 miles north of Clifton, Greenlee County, Arizona. A little over a mi+e from the San Francisoo River and from one to three thousand feet higher.

l!'acilitiesI An ideal climate, the prop.erty can be worked the year round. From the lower to the higher part of the claims there is a change in elevation of about .:2000 feet and the slopes are nearly all abrupt and the veins perpendicular.

Geology: Perpendicular fissure veins filled with quartz and porphyry,-usually with granite walls and run northeast and southwest. Sedimentaries appear on the western side of the pro:perty and the vein walls are sedimentary rock and contacts between sedimentaries and granite. A£ter the veins were formed intrusive dykes of ryolite and phonolite were thrust up from below, cutting all formations and veins· alike. The property is situated near the northeast edge of the Clifton-Morenci mineral belt.

, The Golden Eagle Vein is a proven mine with several thousand

tons of ore opened 90 ft. between the Golden Eagle and Phonelite Tunnels for a distance of over 300 ft. on each level;-

The ore runs well in copper and also some zinc as the smelter sheets and assay certificates show, when the secondary zone is reached, will without doubt produce much higher grade cop·per as the present works show that a greater portion of the vein is leached and gone down to lower depths 0

The vein averages about 5 to 6 ft. wide, the g,Teater portion leached. Depth is all that is needed to reach the secondary zone which in my opinion will produce much higher grade copper and zinc than the present showing and without doubt larger bodies of are.

The Victory Mining Co. claims covers ten veins, most of them are large continous veins and give much promise of developing large bodies

of high grade cop~ger, zinc, sil var and gold ores because of' the fact that we are counting on centering our efforts on the Golden Eagle'Vein I will not go into further details regarding the other veins at this time as they are situated up the canyon and off the road and can be developed later.

The Golden Eagle Vein runs parallel to and about 400 feet north­west of the Loco Boy. It crosses Polaris Gulch and continues on northeast.

On the, south side of the Dorsey Gulch the v;ein is developed by the Golden Eagle Tunnel which drifts 330 feet on the vein and the Phonolite Tunnel which after crosscutting drifts 350 feet on the vein 90 feet below the Golden Eagle Tunnel. A winze connects the two and. a raise goes to the surface from Golden Eagle Tunnel. These two tunnels show a hard, Quartz ore shoot, copper glance and chalcopyrite .and sulphide of iron. See smelter settlement sheets.

The av,erage silica for a number of samples is 73.4 per cent, which is so high that the ore will serve for converter lining and ,therefore get the benefit of a very low smelter rate (about $3.50 per ton).

If further development is to be done on the Golden Eagle Vein it should he done by sinking the present shaft 2 to 3 hundred feet and drift along the vein on the one, two and three hundred foot levels and stope the ore in the regular manner.,

The Golden Eagle Vein is situated near the Southeast border line of the property. The values run good in ao~pp'er, zinc , silver and gold, compares ,favorable with the Copper King ore which ad joins this property on the Southwest, (see map of vein systems of Polaris, also read Mr. H. C. White's letter to Polaris Co., dated Nov. 16, 1937, relating statistics ofth8 Copper King Mine and his frame opinion of the similarity of the two properties) 0

All of the ore which the smelter sheets represents came from the Golden Eagle vein and Phonolite Stope. The pay streak averages from a few inches to about 3 ft. wide on the hanging wall Side, the lower portion of the vein has leached and gone dO'Wll to lower depths.

Install an air compressor (used one) $1500.00 One hoist (used one) $1000.00 Incidentals such as pipe, rails, ore bins, drilling machines pump,

timber, road work, small tools, Social Security Ins. etc. $3500.00

300 ft. shaft at $30.00 per ft. $9000.00 Drift along the vein both ways on the one, two and three hundred

ft. levels, estimated cost $5000.00

The Golden Eagle Vein is a proven mine with sev(~;ra.l thousand tons or ore opened 90 ft. between t:he Golden Eagle' and Phorieli te Tun..'lels for a distance of- over' 300 ft., on each 'level.

The ore runs vvell in copper and also some zinc cis the "smelter sheets and assay certificates show t when the secondary zone is reached; will without doubt produce much higher grad,e oOPI)er as' -the' present works show that a greater :portion of the vein is leached and gop.~ 9.own 1:;0 lower depths.

The vein E],Verages about 5 to 6 ft. Wide, the greater portion leaol;led. Depth is all that is needed to reach,the secondary- 'zo:q.e which in my opinion will produce much hi gher grade copper and zinc -than the' present showing and. wi-thout doubt larger bodies of ore.

The Victory Mining Co. cla~s covers ten veins, mO$t of them are large continous veins and give much promise of developing large bodies

A REPORT ON Tl:l§"J!.9tA,~i~St-.l&Q,u,~; OF MiNING CLAIMS LOCATED NEAR~LIFTON~' GREEffLEE COUNTY; AlUZONA

b:y I

Will D. Hartmand!& Thomas A. Rhoditner v

F OREW A RD: This property w~s visited for the purpose of: . checking information contained in old reports and for examining i '. possibilities of future development. '

! PROPERTY AND LOCATION: The Polaris group of 41 mining'

claims is located 5 miles in a northerly direction from Clifton, Greenlee Gounty, Arizona. The property may be reached by follow­ing four mUes·of easily passable road out of CUftonand paralleling the San Francisco Rlver, and a 2-1/2 mile stretch of road which can be traversed by a short wheelbase vehicle. This second stretch. of : road can be improved, with very little additional work and expense, to allow the passage of any vehicle. :rhe principal wo/:kings are ! approximately 2 miles from the San Francisco River, a'nd there is ' 2,500 feet of difference in elevation. (NOTE BY OWNER: The : lower elevation of the property is 1,500 feet above the San Francisco River, and the higher elevation of the property is 2,500 feet above the' lower- elevation.) .

HISTORY: The history of this property has been discussed in.: some c\etail by other examiners, so only J:xief comment will be made here. The property has been mined by various persons and organ i- ! zations..even before the 20th century. Various methods of recoveryl have been tried and discarded. For the most part development flas; been ill-adVised and haphazard. No large scale develop ment pro-; gram has ever been attempted. Most of the ore exposed by eXist-.i ing workings has been removed. i

. Tb~OGRAPHY: The property is in steep moun terrain and ! has an elevation differential of approximately 2,500 feet. .:

CLIMATE: The climate is suitable for year-round operation.! It is warm and dry in the summer but because of altitude the heat : will never be uncomfortable. Light snows may be expected during: the winter season but never heavy enough to curtail operation. .

CAMP AND LABOR: The hous~ng fa~i1ities now on the pro- I perty will accomodate ten men. This will be adequate f9r a pre- : liminary drilling crew and for the workmen who are to initiate the' construction of additional housing. An adequate labor supply can be obtained in the district at the local standard of pay. Said rates are: as follows: 1

Miner •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• $1.35 per hr. Labor (underground) •••••••••••••••••• 1.20 .. .. Labor (surface) •••••••••••••••••••••• 1.10 ..

NA TURE OF DEPOSIT AND DEVELOPMENT: There are ten perpendicular or nearly perpendicular veins on the' property which , can Qe' traced from the surface. The veins are fissure type filled i with quartz and porphyry with gr. anite foot and hanging walls. Exar­ination of existing workings indicate that a contiguous lens forma­tion predominates. Enough ground has been opened to prove that the ore is not in pocket formation. The lenses occur at regular in-I tervals. There is every reason to believe that these lenses will be-; come larger in size and contain better values as depth is attained. :

I The Golden Eagle Ve~ n has been opened by the Phonolite or i

Blacksmith Tunnel, the Golden Eagle Tunnel, and the Grey Eagle i Tunl1el~ The Phonolite' Tunnel, on the north side·of the Dorsey ! GUlch, has been completely s~ripped of all developed ore and appa~­ently the :vein has been lost and abandoned. The nearby Golden I Eagle.Tunnel has also been opened for are on the same vein. Nearly

. all of the ole developed by thiS tunnel has also been stoped out. The condition of the dump as well as .the .thoroughness with which I the ore was removed indicate that most of the vein material was of! shipping grade. Much more material was removed from the work-I ings than ·appears on the dump. Both of these workings show the cor­tinuous lens formation typical of other workings on the property.

On the north side of Dorsey Gulch, the Grey.Eagle Tunnel an~ a short prospect tunnel abov.e it have failed to expose ore of economic iilterest. To all appearances the Golden Eagle ore body has been lost in the eXisting workings. However, some diamond drilling would soon prove ot disprove this observation.

A tunnel drive near the intersection of the Black Prince and !

Lady Franklin veins has been driven approximately 1, 000 feet from portal to face on the Lady Franklin vein. However, due to lax and disinterested mining practice, this tunnel has been allowed to cave where jt passed through a soft a~ea in the formation.

Near the portal of the aforedescribed tunnel a shaft has been sunk to the Blick Prince Vein to a depth of 134 feet. This shaft was sunk in vein material.

METHOD. OF SAMPLIN~: Due to its size and extent, the Russian Bear Vein has been' given particular attention. This vein ' will in all probability eventually become the big producer of the pro­perty. For this reason, beginning at the east end, 67 samples have

been taken from outcrops along .this ore body •. All 'samples taken from this vein a.nd other vein 'outcrops were trenched across th~ vein, unless otherwise noted. All undergrol!nd samples were .cut across the vein except where otherwise noted.

. Surface samples. in this type of formation, do notindlcate the true values to be found in the ore bodies. Due to leaching action. values in this type of ore body ar~ dcher at depth than on· the surface.

As can 'be seen from the attached record of sample assays, the Golden Eagle Vein has produced ore of economic interest. This deposit cannot be depended oil for future prodUction, but fur­ther development by drilling methods is definitely indicated.

,/'RECOMMENDATIONS: A survey to accurately locate vein outcrops and a diamond drilling program should be initiated • . These two jobs can be accomplished simultaneously and should be supervised by a competent mining engineer. A tractor with angle dozer ~hould be put on the property for road building purposes. This should be done immediately as it will greatly.fac1l1tate and speed up exploration work.

Initial exploration work $hould centetaround the Black Prince and Lady Franklin veins. Two thousand feet of core drilUng at a cost of $6 a foot will locate the intermction'of these two ore bodies and indicate a shaft site. A standard 2-compartment shaft should then be sunk on the site, so heated. This shaft should be sunk to a depth of 500 feet before production is attempted.

After exploitation of the Black Prince and Lady Franklin ' veins has commenced" attention should next be tu~ned to the Rus­sian Bear vein. A core drilling program will block out the ore, prove its extent and indicate method for exploitation. Proving of the Russian Bear will provide ore for many years of large scale operation.

At a later date the other veins on the property can be exam­ined. There is reason to believe some of them will become pro- . ducers.

A mill with modern flotation plant must be set up to treat the ore from this property. This mill should have a minimum cap­acity of 250 tons a day. The mill should be constructed with the idea of increasing capacity as more'ore is developed on the pro­perty.

CONCLUSION& Care has been taken to make conservative estimates for the purpose of this report. There are definite grounds , for assuming that the ore bodies will increase in value and possibly' in size as depth is attained. There is also a good possibility of en­countering other veins. not traceable on the surface, at depth.

With good management, this mine should become a success­ful producer. It cannot be too strongiy recommended .that develop­ment of this property be instigated only under the direction of a trained aJtd experienced mining engineer. It is obvious that past failures on the Polaris property have been due to ignorance or under-financing. )

The sho,rt excerpts herej.ri are' taken from t~.1e extensive data concern­ing the Polaris' 'Property. The mining information dating from the early 20th Century is taken J.argely from the records of the then operating company,the United States Geological Surtey.t Bureau of Hines and other agencies, and sources of inforlaation. There is also available recent· engineering and geolog:tcal reports and other data on this pro,erty. Since 1908 or 1910 the p.ropert.y has not been op­erated or developed.
