LAHOMA COPPER CO., GETS REPORT
MR. E. NORMS HOBART, A MINING
ENGINEER AND GEOLOGIST OF
OLD MEXICO MAKES REPORT ON
THE PROPERTY OF THE LAHO
MA COPPER COMPANY.
NAME:
Tho property comprises ten full min
ing claims; Tho Santa Rosa Carrizozo,
Guadalupe, Taggart, Emmn, Pecos,
Altnmont, Ripper, Mnxine, and the
May Day, the whole comprising u
group at the head of the Dalton Can
yon traversed by a white quartz lode,
prccambrain mostly amphibolo gran
ite. ACCESSIBILITY:
The group is located in Dalton Can
yon twelve miles cast of Santa Fc and
approximately two milos east of tho
Scenic Highway, where the same cross
es tho Continental Divide. The trails
leading up the canyon are in fine shape
and by a reasonable expenditure could
be put in shape, but the more advis
able method is to construct a trail
to tho Highway that could bo widened
to an auto road, thus bringing the
railroad shipping point to within ten
miles of the property.
TITLE:
Tho title is clear, being held by right
of location, the location being monu
mcnted as required by law and duly
recorded and the holdings of the Com
pany incorporated under the Laws of
the State of New Mexico.
DEVELOPMENT
All of the claims have more or less
development, either side hill tunnels
or vertical shafts. The Taggart has
a tunnel 170 feet long and a crosscut
100 feet to a winze; which at the date
of examination was Tilled with water.
Tho Emma has a shaft crosscuttcd by
an audit at tho GO foot level and a tun
nel near the bottom of the canyon.
Tho Carrizozo has a 30 foot tunnel
nnd the remainder of tho claims all
have some workings of various depths
and degree of completion.
GEOGRAPHICAL CHARACTER
ISTICS The out-cropping rock is prccam
brain amphibolite granite, containing
a predominance of quartz, some bio
titc, titanite and garnet. The ore is
associated with irregular intrusions of
quartzose, segregations with which
are associated phrohotitc,, calcopyritc
tourmaline, bornite (in some places)
and near the apex of the Taggart
claim azurite and malocitc. The gran
ites aro of probable various ages, the
more recent intruding into the older
causing lines of zones of fracture
through which juvenile mineral bear
ing solution ascended accompanied by
zonal siliticntion. Tho commercial as
sociates of minerals will be found to
bear n gcnernl relation to the quartz
intrusions and the wide dissipation of
these minerals throughout the various
claims would point to one original
primary source, whore the structural
conditions must have been such to in
duce concentration and more intensive
mineralization and impregnation, and
have become n "loci" for the deposits.
The prcmnncncc and presistancy of
the quartz lode, its location nnd rela
tion to the San Pedro Mines of the
Santa Fc Copper Company nnd the
properties now operating upon the op
posit" side of the divide of the Dalton
Canyon nnd the Geographical Survey
notation of the same point to the moth
er lode occuring in this locality.
ORE DEPOSIT:
On the Taggart claim is found a
dump of approximately ten tons of
ore which is well impregnated with
chnlcopynite, pyrite, and hornite. The
gangue is highly silicious and the
whole is an excellent concentration as
sociation. By development the main lode would
probably be reached within reasonable
distance say 300 feet. The minernliz
,tion is continuous but the formation
i3 not formal and should be ascertain
ed. The other claims would require more
development, but the Emma, which
is located at the crossing or junction
of two qunrtzoscs intrusions or seg
regations lir.s the indicative signs cf
ore in depth. All of tho workings
show mineralization, but the Emma
shows a general and systematic dis
semination of fine pyrite carrying cop
per, n snmple throughout the entire
length of the tunnel would average
over two per cent copper. Develop
ment should be commenced here at
once to determine the extent of the
ore body, and the limits ascertained
by churn drilling. This will be dif
ficult on account of the topography of
the ground, but if resorted to will
prove more economical and satisfac
tory in tho end. Development on the
rcmnining claims should be a secon
dary consideration upon the results of
tho Emma and Taggart, the former of
which will be expected to yield a large
low grndo tonnago to which tho Tag
gart, when penetrated tho primary oros
of tho intrusions will yield a high grndo
shipping copper sulphido or easily con
centrated ore.
Tho Assays taken wcro so cut as to
prove tho presence of tho copper sul
phido throughout the workings and
do not serve as n calculation for oro
reserves.
CONCLUSION
Water is available in abundance for
any form of wet concentration, nnd
with tho rond of two miles completed
to tho Scenic Highway by means of
which machinery can bo transported
to tho claims, a proposition should bo
commenced at tho earliest possible
date.
Tho general distribution of copper
sulphides throughout this locality re
vealed by these surface workings nnd
tho presence of n virginal mineralized
lode prompts and justifies tho deduc
tion of a large ore deposit in its im
mediate proximity and to top this zono
countered, judging from tho pho
nomenn presented the veins will widen
In depth and bo associated moro or
less intlmntly with easily working
schists.
As to n method of treatment for tho
Emma's ores somo of form of flota
tion will separate tho sulphides.
This can bo solved as development
proves the tonnngo nnd method of tho
extraction.
With the completion of the trail and
tho progress of development, a futuro
is anticipated for these several claims
and a large commercial deposit anti
cipated. Signed, E. NORRIS HOBART.

Tho Lahoma Copper Company Is
now getting out n car of oro for ship
ment to the El Paso Smelter. Docs
that look Ilka a prospect, or n mine?
We have over 500 tons of good ship
ping oro on tho dumps and in order
to get out moro It is only necessary to
drill the holes in tho enormous veins
and shoot out tho ore. No expensive
shaft sinking to And out if tho Min
ing Engineer wns a good gucsscr or
not. It Is the Intention of this com
pany to bo conservative with tho funds
of tho treasury and mnke every dol
lar spent bring a fair return. We in
tend to build a concentrating plant at
onco only using tho high grndo ore
for this purpose and later on to ndd
ns a unit an Oil Floating Machine,
this machine to be used on the concen
trating tailings nnd low grndo ores
which will pay the expense of opera
tion and leave tho high grado concen
trates to pay dividends to tho stock
holders with.
Do not delay. If you want to bo in
on tho first dividends, buy stock today.
Tho price is 25 cents per shnrc. This
price will not last long for ns soon
ns the smelter returns aro hnd on tho
car now being got out this stock prico
is going up. We expect it o bo of
par value in thirty days. Very easy
money is made on tho increase in value
of anything thnt is purchased, but ns
a rule take for instance, tho great
UNITED VERDE EXTENSION. This
stock a short time back was selling
at 35 cents per share in Arizona. To
day this same stock is worth as many
dollars per share. Most every person
is more or less familiar with the
PHENOMINAL raise of tho Copper
stock. Copper is going to be a good
prico per pound for many years to
como und that means dividends to the
stockholders of copper companies. Al
ways buy when the price is low. Get
in on the ground floor. Make a for
tune while others wait for fortune to
como to them. BUY LAHOMA
STOCK TODAY AT 25 CENTS PER
SHARE. Come to our oflico and talk
the matter over with us. Wo will be
glad to explain in detail any point.
Look at the samples. Look ut the
actual photographs which were taken
on the ground by Mr. R. A. Nowell of
Tucumcari, N. M. These photos shows
tho ore on tho dumps, shafts and tun
nels and timber and water. Timber
and water are a most valuable asset in
the mining business and to have this
material at hand is certainly going
to cut down the cost of operation to
the Minimum.
The Lahomn Copper Company has
cloven hundred feet of shaft and tun
nel work done on tho property; this
means a great saving in time nnd ex
pense. Some rond building will be
necessary in order to got to the prop
erty with ft" automobile but today n
person can get to within two miles of
the property ensy with a car. The
Scenic Highway is about two miles
from the mines. It will cost in the
neighborhood of $1,500 to build this
rond to tho camps.
Buy today at 25 cents per shnrc.
Tomorrow may be too late.
