The strike varies from N 35 E, to N 45 E with di~ both east and west depending on the point f rom where one is standing . Ore :

The ore is a mixture of copper glance, carbonate and silicate scattered sp?Xing1y through. the quartz . Mr Rey.no~s has ta~en no samples, but eS.l~imates the are will run 2% to3% copper wi th small value in gold .... ·and sliver . He has no records of any shipments .

Mine Date 2/13/40

District Weaver Dist., Yuma Co. Engineer Elgin B. Holt, P. C. Box 288, Kingman, Ariz. Subject:

SYNCPSIS HEPCRT l

OWNER: l B. M. Reynolds, Bouse, Arizona..

iYlETALS : Id and copper •

.AREA & LCC.: Property consists of 3 patented claims, located in the Weaver Mining District, Yuma County, 10' miles S. E. of Ehrenburg, Arizona. and reached by county maintained road to within 2 miles of mine; thence by level mesa road to property.

VEIN: General srike of contact ore-bearing zone is NE ~ SW; dip slightly SEe Width of said zone averages around 10'0 feet between walls; this includes ore and gangue; the zone being made up of parallel ore veins from 3 ft. to 6 ft. wide, with alternating bands of country rock between; this con­dition doubtless indicating large bodies of copper-gold are may be found below.

GECLCGY: Cn southeastern, or foot wall, side of zone the country rock is hornblendic schist, while on the northwestern side the formation is quartzite and marbleized limestone.

DEV. WORK: Property is developed by a number of shafts and cuts on the various veins, showing gold-copper ore in place. The mai~ shaft has been suruc on one of the veins to a depth of 135'. It is only timbered to depth of 30 feet; but o'tlmers now' have timbers framed on the ground to construct a double compart­ment shaft to bottom of mine, with skip and ladder ways.

ORE: Character of ore is gold-bearing white quartz, impregnated with Crysocolla and ~~lachite. I~. Reynolds is now arranging to recondition the mine and start shipping ore to the El Paso Smelting Works'. Average tenor of shipping ore, per analysis made by A. S. & R. Co., and furnished me by Mr. Reynolds, is as follows:

WATER:

Au .3 oz. per ton; Ag 2.5 ozs. per ton; Cu 5.6%; Ph none; As .1%; Sb .2~~; Insol. 81.6%; Fe 3.2%; C~o .4%; Zn none; Sul • • z:fo.

Drinking w@,ter and for domestic use must now be hauled from Ehrenburg; but inasmuch as the elevation of mine is only 690" above sea level and 450' above the Colorado River, it is be­lieved t pa.t water and sulphide are will be encountered in mine at a depth under five hundred feet from surface. Prop­erty has all the e~~-marks that it should develop into one out of which considerable money should be made, if adequately financed, developed and managed.
