In the report of Mr. Bernard Noon, copper expert and consulting engineer, made last October for the CONSOLIDATED ARIZONA COPPER MINES COMPANY after Mr. Noon had spent some ten days on the property under the heading "MINERALIZATION" on page 9 of his written report to the Board of Directors of the Company, he stated as follows:

"The iron pyrite lias given way to copper (ehaleopyritel, and this toother with the white iron, is very evenly and finely disseminate whole dike structure. It carries an average of from 2'2 Per cent to 3 per cent copper, my average samples giving 2.65 per cent copper

d throughout the

per ton.

"The even distribution of values through this great mass of ore is a favorable indication, and permanency may be expected. It is reasonable to expect that the values found in the present workings will continue in depth so long as the formations of the porphvfy remain uninfluenced bv an other element. "Within the dike at greater depth large deposits of higher grade copper are likely to occur. Th?se will, in all probability, wrae with water level. and will be chaleopyrite ores occurring in larsrc lenses within apparently fissure reins. These will not be true fissures, but deposits of copper occurring in splits or faults of irregular width and lenjrtn along the dike structure. These deposits will be due to a second period of mineralization within the dike in which the solutions, heavily impregnated with copper, have a second time been forced up from below, but, due to the hardening of the rock, not able to penetrate the whole structural mass. In such deposits it will be found that nearly all particles of iron have been replaced by copper. ."With depth I believe the Average values will increase, due to lenses or streaks of higher grade material within the dike, caused by a second period of mineralization as above explained.' At a depth of slightly less than 200 feet in the main working shaft on the El Paso copper ledge, samples of copper ore, through which the shaft was passing, were shipped some weeks ago by General Superintendent Wm. J. Mitchell to the American Mines Engineering Co. of Chicago, and by this company were delivered to Robert W. Hunt & Co., engineers and assayers of Chicago, for analysis. The following communication speaks for itself; In reply please refer to "Chicago, March 26, 1919. File No. 18278-1 B-4309 JHC Analvsis of Ore , . - . Mr. Bernard Xoon. r - . - V?: ::-v Great Northern Hotel, Chicago, Illinois.

Dear Sir: Below we hand you under Laboratory No. A-7619 results of analysis

of a sample of ore submitted to us under date of the 25th.

Diet. JHC-D.

Respectfully submitted, ROBERT W. HUNT & CO.

We publish herewith a telegram received by Mr. J. A. Ritzier, president of the CONSOLIDATED ARIZONA COPPER MINES COMPANY, at the ifical offices in Garv. as to the development and ore values which are showing in the true fissure silver lead vein on the Olive croup of claims owned by the TONSOUDAraD ARIZONA COPPER MINES COMPANY:

"Received at 135CH A42NL Patagonia, Arizona, March 31, 1919. J. A. Ritzier, 22 West 5th Ave., Gary, Ind. Olive shaft now in two feet of good ore which we are saving for shipment. North Crosscut looks fine. ' Getting bettor every shift. Stapleton leaves today. El Paso shaft about two hundred with plenty of pyrites coming in. Olive shaft sixty feet deep. W. J. MITCHELL.

9:55 P. M.

The price of CONSOLIDATED COPPER stock will remain unchanged at least until the next meeting of the Board of Directors, which may be a call meeting and which may occur at any time. Don't stand light. Investigate but it would be wise to do it at once and to buy CONSOLIDATED COPPER Stock to Your Limit.
