\ Dear Mrs. Greenlee. \

At your request and 1n lour oJpaftJ I per­sonall), V181 ted the Lydla-JeSSiC8.· flin1nc clai'-' 1n Gila County, Arizona, wholly and singly owned and .plored bJ your 1& te husband, Gaor3e A.

As a result ot this examlna tlOll\ and Ii re­view ot the geolo11c COnditions. within the property Itm1ts, the writer concludes tbe. t the property should ~e so14 pr10r to September 1, 1962 tor what it VIOuld 1)~ingl or it unsold at that t1... then tbe 2S unpatented 104, 0 alma should be dropped as tbe, warrant no further ex~endltures considered wi thin the realm ot an 1nd! vidual. :

not more than 10 to 15 feet. This type of mineralization would not permit economic development or operation.

The property is developed by three principal recent workings as adits, etc and several older adits wh10h were not possible to examine because of caving conditions. The three principal workings were examined. In two cases mineralization was observed in weak structures in the Sohist. The most westerly development was completed as an adit on a weak struoture contt,1ning sugary quartz and limonitic iron as well as possibly Some gold mineral1zation. This structure had an east-west strike with a steep dip to the north. The second development, most easterly, was completed as an adit on what appears to be an old water course with an east-west strike in theS.bll$.*t with a steep dip to the north. The mineralization observed wal}that of copper as oxides and sul­phides with manganese staihIng the fractures of the Schist. Width of this minera11zation in places reached three feet and then decreased to six inch w1dths. Strength of this mineral­ization could be classed in the 2 to 3% grade which definitely would not permit economical mining. The third principal de­velopment consisted of a 300 foot adit and an inclined winze 200 feet on the slope from the face of the adit in the plane of the adit. The adit was examinedl however, the winze was rull of water, thUS, the dtf,mp mater al was examined. Evidence at small, 1/2" quartz stringers with copper and iron mineral­ization as tte su.lphides, chalcopyrite and pyrite, were observed. Here again the mirisralization appeared weak and of low grade. This mlneralization hosted in a dicnitlc rock of dense, si­liceous character assum1ng a dike or sill strocture, common to the area.

The writer took one charaoter sample of the dloritic material fr<)m the dump of the adi t-winze development in order to indicate the abseuse or presence of a low-grade : (approxima tely ls':'~tPopper content) possi bil1ty. This character sample assayed the following: copper, 0.03%, gOld! Tr. and f

stIver, 0.20 ounces per ton. Results of this samp e thus in­dicate that no low-grade potential is 1n ek'stance within the realm of recent development of the property.

No recommendations can be submitted in as much as there is not sufficient geologic evidence properly mapped and available at this time to justify any reasonable explor­ation program nor could the writer detect any geologic evi­dence within the property t~ justify expenditure of funds for further development, thus, the conclusions submitted at the · beginning of this report are the ruling factor of decision.

Respectfully submitted,
