ISSUES REPORT BY GEOLOGI
CAL SURVEY ON THE UNITED
VERDE, ARIZONA
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 29. (/P)
—The romance as well as the scienti
fic and technical aspects of metal
mining is set forth in a recent publi
cation of the Geological Survey of the
department of the Interior, entitled
“The ore deposits of the Jerome and
Bradshaw mountains quadrangles,
Arizona.” The area includes the -fam
ous United Verde and United Verde
Extension mines, as well as many
that are smaller and less well known.
The first discoveries of placer gold
in this region were made in 1863 but
they did not prove profitable. Be
ginning in 1875, many rich gold and
silver bearing lodes were found, and
by 1885 many of these were exhaust
ed, although others were productive
mimmiiiiimiiiimmiiiimiiimiiimimiiiiiimiimmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiMte
until 1905. The United Verde deposit
was worked for silver about 1S80, but
the value of the copper output soon
exceeded that of the silver, and it is
now the richest deposit of pyrotic cop
per in the United States. Since 1909,
the dividends paid by this mine have
exceeded S63,000,000, and although
2,500 feet deep, it will probably be
very productive for many years. The
United Verde Extension ore bodies
near by, discovered in 1915, have
been highly productive, and to date
over $20,000,000 in dividend^ has been
paid by this mine. Both mines are in
bodies of copper-bearing pyrite. The
production of the mines of this group
to date has amounted to about $130,
000,000.
The other metal mines of the area
are in simple veins containing gold,
silver, copper, lead, and zinc miner
als. Some of these have been work
ed at considerable profit and have
been explored to 1,000 or 1,500 feet
below the surface. Many others have
shown steady decline in grade at less
depth. In some a sharp decline in
the yield of gold and silver took place
at water level, 100 to 400 feet be
low the surface, and it is concluded
that the upper zone has been enrich
ed during erosion.
iiimmiiiiiiimiimiimmiiiimmiimimmimmmimmmmmmmimimmimmir
lames are given in me report snow
ing the details of annual production
of the metals since 1900 for each of
the 15 or more districts in the area
described. The total value of all
metals produced to the end of 1923
is estimated at about 1300,000,000.
