Short f ARlVIISrrICE :lVlINE ,The Armistice Mine consists of a group of eight unpa~ ented mining claims located in Hunter Canyon in the Huachuca Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona. The mine is Fourteen miles from Hereford, Arizona, the nearest shipping point.Hereford is reached over 11 miles of graded road, 2 miles of paved ro~ and one mile of unimproved dirt road. The mine is developed by two inclined shafts each 180 feet deep and numerous cuts and tunnels. We have shipping IJ returns on 802 dry tons of are. rnThis are avera.ged 24.75% Lead, ~ f 7.83 oz. Silver per ton and 0.041 oz. Gold per ton. Ore shoots are found in the s'edimentary rocks along sills intruded about 40 feet from the large fault. Ore is alro found around "the edges of the large porphyry intrusion. Almost all ore mined came from the oxidized zone. The chief lead minerals were Cerussite and Plumbojarosite. There is less than 1.0% zinc in the oxidized ore. Where the sulfide ore was cut it carries more zinc. One lens of ore mined from the bottmm of the east shaft carried 10% lead and 20% zinc. IDhe sulfide are from the 170 ft. level of the main shaft carries zinc values also. These are the only two places where the sulfide are has been cut. We did no development work in the sulfide are because we were mining with hand steel and progress was too slow" FORM ZA ~OM 11·47 CAIRNS AP"~RICAN SMELTING AND REFINING COMP)' ~'Y EL PASO SMELTIN@ WORKS ORE SETTLEMENT EL PASO, TEX.~S. ~i~~:~Jl·tl*£t·f~ 8M ELTER' LOT __-" SOU G HT 0 F ___-"'l""';~m. ..""'.1*!:.l· ... ~.,--"'i;~t~""~s"""~"":r .... ts",,·,'---,,,~~,:r,,,,.--,,·~~-,·'ltll!-'J'X~,-,'l>_;:.,.::.w;@'-",~~"",lI"".1'....!~t",,·~,-- ______. ______S H I PP E R'S LOT----w~~l------ADD R ESS ______~-_--"~'-"{!2lo@>l>;r-':'~""(.)=f'-"¢~··~~"'-~"i.:;.,~""l,lil_. -",-;~~~rr....;.~t,w .. t;'~';~n~r.5:!*!;;"",;t=-- ______CLASSI FICATI ON_""!f;....\l,..,,"'it ....:'f _____ SHIPPING POINT !it; 1:~ NA M E 0 F MIN E~~,,b.'::-i·l (~·tt~JM~ CAR WEIGHT IN AVOIRDUPOIS POUNDS N Y.

The claims cover the north fork of Hunter uanyon and reach, at their wester'extremity, the divide between Hunter Canyon and Miller uanyon. Elevation above sea level at the eastern end of the group is 5200 feet, at the western end is 6000 feet, and at the main shaft is 5700 feet. Good county roads connect the mine with Hereford, the - shipping pOint, excepting the first one and one-half miles below the mine. Ifhe mad is all doWn grade from the mine to Hereford e An erpenditure of $200.00 will make a good road throughout. A fresh water spring on the Spring claim provides enough water for domestic and ordinary mining purposes. .... ~. . ". LEAD-BULLION - 2 l l he property consists of 9 unpatented mining claims with a ,. maximum center line length of 5800 feet and a maximum cross- width of 1800 feet. The average center line course is N. 55° sr1he claims cover both the bottom. and sides of the canyon, the general course of the canyon being east and west. The property is well covered with a growth of small oak and pinyon trees which are serviceable as small mine timbers and stulls. (;EN.Iilli~ G],'OLOGY. The center line of the claims is a fault contact between granit.e and limestone, and granite and a fine grained quartz porphyry. ~he fault is reverse - an upthrust of the granite - on a plane dipping about 65 0 to the northeast. To the northeast of .the fault plane lies the granite and to the southwest lie the limestone and quartz porphyry. Some of the limestone beds are 10 and 12 feet thick but the average thiokness is one foot. Bhaly and sandy beds are interspersed throughout. ~he average strike of the beds is N 35° Wand the average dip is 400 northeasterly towards the granite contact. The limestones are of Devonian and Carboniferous age. Irhe Porphyry is an intrusiva into the limestones and. is faulted against the granite. It dips northeasterly at about a 45° angle. Small andesitic dikes cut the limestones ~ granite but do not cut the porphyry. l~lhey show almost contin- .' ..~. . ~\ . L~-BU~LION - 3 uously along the granite-limestone contact and are older than the are. The granite is a batholith accounting for the elevation of the whole of the Huachuca Mountains. iVllNHilV. A shaft haS'been sunk at about the center of the Bullion Ulaim, an inclined distance of 182 feet or a vertical distance of' 134 feet below the collar • 'fhe inclined angle is 45 0 to the northeast. The shaft is in good repair. Water level rests at 114 feet vertically below the collar. The footwall is limestone and the hanging wall is a green andesitic dike. From thC? shaft, work has been done on the 50 foot, 100 foot, 140 foot and 180 foot levels, for the details of which see the attached map. Ifhe shaft followed down on an 8 inch str8ak of lead corbonate ore which widened at the 100 foot level to over 24 inches. At this point about 20 tons of ore were taken out and the shoot passed into the footwall 01'· the shaft at a dip angle of' 65°. It was again picked up on the 140 foot level in the crosscut back under the shei't where it is 21 inohes wide with iron and lead sulphides along side of it. ORB;S tfhe or'e 1"8, as encountered so f'ar, lead in the form. of carbonate and sulphide together with gold and silver. No zinc nor manganese has been found. Iron Oxide accompaiies the ores down to a depth of 104 feet below the s~face at which point pyrite begins to come in. :,.' LEAl) - BULLION - 4 The ore oocurs in ~hoots along the strike of the limestone beds with dips grading from the 45 0 dip of the limestones to a dip of 65 0 corresponCling to too granite contact. These shoots have been found at the granite contact and at pOints almost 100 feet fran the contact. N~~o-l'~:~,has been f'ound in the granite. A lim! ted amount of prospecting has opened shoots v8.rying from 8 inches to 4 feet in thickness of u~nown but rather short lengths. One shoot opened'on the surface is 4 feet 2 inches wide and is un- covered for 65 feet in length. One end of this ore is still under the ground-soil overburden. Surface gouging has uncovered ore values for a length of 1200 feet along the contact. PORPHYHY The p~~phyry in places is mineralized extensively with iron, and, at several points on the limestone-porphyry contact are found lead ore stringers of commercial grade in wide iron mineralized zones. The limestone-porphyry contact on the Lead Bullion property has not been prospected and the showings above mentioned are exposed on claims belonging to George Dunn adjoining the Lead Bullion. The following samples were all taken from the ore zone immediately southwest of and parallel to the granite-limestone contact: From the various shallow pits northwest of the main shaft on the Bullion C-1aim, none of which exceed 5 feet in depth, I took out samples L~ - BULLION - 5 which averaged gold, 0.01 ozs., silver 3.4 ozs, and ·'lead 3.6%. These samples were taken over widths ranging from 6 feet to 20 feet and at f'ive places. From the most westerly pit on the Bullion claim came chunks run- ning gold 0.01 oz. gold, silver 4.6 OZS., and lead 14.8%- Sorted ore in piles of four or five tons at pits 250 feet northwest elf the main shaft assay as follows: No.1 Gold 0.02 ozs.

At 350 fa .;;:t southeast of the shaft is an ore body from which the l overburden has been stripped, permitting comprehensive sampling. 'l'his body is 65 feet long and is not fully uncovered on the end towards the shaft. ]lour ~ample s cut across the sho~ing are given below.. They are spaced 20. feet apart •. High. grade chunks were avoided. f:3am.ple #19 was taken in a hole about 5 feet deeper than the floor of the pit. An actual samplE? of this :pit including the high-g~ade would run at least 2-5% lead.

LEAD - BULLION - 7. Sample #6 is the downward extension of the ore which was mined in t'he shaft at" the 100 foat"~ l~vel and which seems to have an eastwardly rake.. The 21 inches of ore at this point is on the footwall wide of the mineralized break. 'rhe hanging wall is here flattening and is producing a wider m.ineralized zone, including 24 inches pf leached material running 5% lead and a 12 inch streak . of iron and lead sulphides of about the same lead values. The sulphide ore shows only in the bottom of the crosscut. No attempt was made to cut this ore on the 180 foot level, but some galena and :pyrite were picked up.. 'l'he main ore streak would be back of and to the east of the shaft at this level. 'l'he v'art-ieal extent of the pay ore below the 100 foot level is 34 feet. The lateral extent is unknown. On the 100 foot level the streak was followed westerly for about 30 feet, the are showing diminishing width .. The 100 foot level crosscut, cutting through the altered shaly lime beds and eventually reaching the gra¢ te, failed to ex-pose any further oommer- cial ore but show a width of 55 feet of leached ma:terial containing much iron oxide and some lean lead values throughout. In May, 1926, the company shipped 38.3 dry tons of are to the American S1llelting &. Refining Company at El Paso. This shipment netted !\p1ge31 per ton after freight dedu.ctions at the smelter. The smel-tier returns showed: Gold 0.05 OZ .. , Silver $.9 ozs. lead 20.12%. All of this ore was mined from the shaft. The drift on the 50 foot level exposes a 10 inch streak of carbonate ore assaying 19 .. 9% lead, 8 ounces silver and 0 •. 10 ounces gold. (See Sample tl8) .. It lies in the hanging wall of a divergent fracture which has been encountered also on the 100 foot level in open and caved. ground and where the hanging wall streak also carries good values. This streak was n0t cut on the 140 foot level, and has perhaps raked to the eastward above this level. ·.' . ,," . ~" . .. ~ bULL10N ---8 The exploration work done in the shaft and levels there off shows that the main ore streak is getting wider and more persistent with depth. Xt appears tbat the 100 foot level is the top of an are shoot. The extent of this ore shoot is not known but the fact that it was picked up in the first fandum crosscut driven from the 140 f'oot level shows that it must be of greater extent laterally t.han on the 100 foot leve1. I believe that this ore will persist eastwardly to connect with the shoots shown by sampfues #12 to 20. DEPJlH lU\fD EXTENT. A cross section of the property shows that the limestone will reach a minimum depth of 800 feet and will undoubtedly be cut by many tongues of the mineralized porphyry which outcrops on the Dunn Claims. This porphyry intrusion I believe to be a source of mineralization for the whole area. 'Ilhis assumption cannot be sho.wn at the present time, 'but if it be true,. there is a possibiiity of greatly extending the ore zone when these porphyry tongues are cut at depth. The contact fault between the limestone and granite is of great lateral extent, being traceable for several miles both northwesterly and southeasterly, and at many.points along it lead ores are found, and at several places the quartz porphyry is close to the fault and ore is found on the porphyry-limestone contact.

They have surveyed and monumented the claims and location holes have been dug to conform with the law, and assessment work has been. kept up. However, a law suit has been brought against the owners by Max R. VOIl Baumklrchner, claiming :prior location rights over a portion of the claims. I have examined the case th.oroughly and can fin.d no grounds for his contention and am positive that the case will be wen by the defendants. FOR. SALE:. Given a two year period for p~ents and a priviledge to stope ore on a royalty basis to apply on purchase price, the property is worth from '50; GOO to ,'iN)., 000. It is of especial.appeal beoause of the faot that ore will be encountered whic];i can be shipped direot to the smelter, 50 miles di,stant, thus paying P8l"t of the cost of developm81t. Should it become necessary to erect a mill, 80me souroe of water must be sought. Probably the mine i taell will provide a eonsiderable f10w at depth. The equipment on tlB ground can be made to serve, Gut for economical work, I would reeo:mrn.and aoquiring a new eompressor with engin.e, and 2 new jack hammers. The new equipment would cost about i>5000 set up. A prospective purchaser of this property would do.well to consider also the property of George ]hmn and William Kelly ,comprising 10 claims and a fraction., Some of these clailns are shown on the map. The other lie to south , of' ... and adjoin the Black Oat claim.. I did not make a eOlllPlete examination of .--.. ,- . ,,' t--- ~,,' LEAD - BULLION - 10 tlais property J but have shown OR the map the quartz porphyry body and the various workings on the contaot -V1i th the limestone. In. these werkings, considerable high-grade ore has been uncovered.. No hQle is over '20 feet d'eep. George Dunn wants a tunnel about 220 feet long driven in under the shwoing in the oenter of the Black Cat olaim to cut the ore at a.bout 150 feet belowth.e surface. Six months time will be given to do this work. The purchase price is ,25)000. This property can be worked in. oonjuno,tion Wi th' the Lead-Bullion. OONCLUSION: This area is well werth p'r.a§peating and will, I believe, develop into a good mine. Respeotful.ly submitted, By L. T. I1cElvelUll Dated at Bisbee, Ariz.
