MID!!ORANDUM ORD MERCURY MINE

TO: W. O. Broadgate

FROM: J. S. Coupal

I am enclosing a copy of a letter received from Tom Russell, Manager of the Ord Mercury Mine, Tonto Basin, Arizona. You will note that this letter is incorrectly addressed to attention of' "DeWitt C. Schieck. It should have been attention DeWitt C. Smith so that it may possibly not reach Mr. Smith's attention unless you bring the copy I am enclosing to his attention pers~nally.

I have just received your memorandum of February 2 on quicksilver wherein you state that ttin his opinion where there was less than 11 months ore showing :;in mine reserves, Metals Reserve Company would probably take the delivery rather than pay the penalty." It would seem from this that the man who had developed reserves is being penalized which is hardly fair. If they would figure these reserves on technically blocked out ore, I imagine no harm would be done as the small mines practically never really block out their ore.

I am advising the other two producers in Arizona of the memorandum you sent and I am. advisin'J.. them to also write Metals Reserve asking that their delivery be taken up to December 31, 1944 and give their reasons for their request.

Conference with James McFarland and Gordon Grimes at Sunflower Store

These men now have secured leases on the Ord and Blue Bird Quicksilver mines. The Rattlesnake Mill has been improved.

Conference with H. C. Smith, Box 347, Globe, Arizona

Mr. Smith said that he. held a lease agreement with Thornburg to work the Oido At present three men and he are repairing the mill adit portal, and plan to go on and repair the adit as far as the main l60-foot winze. He mentioned that he expected this is a tough schist since the damage had been caused by unusually wet weather which had "oiled" the schist and made it very heavyo .It was suggested that he obtain a copy of USGS Bull. 1042-R which dealt specifically with the geology of the Ord Mine (1958), since he was generally unfamiliar with the Ord area. He has so far been unable to secure mine mapso His plans must remain a bit fluid until he can learn more about the mine.

He trucked 73 tons of 2% lbo material to the Rattlesnake mill and according to Grimes slightly over 2 lb. per ton was recoveredo Grimes estimated his extraction about 85 percento This was material from the old Ord dumps. LAS Memo 2-23-66

Active Mine List Oct. 1966 - Expl.

Visit and conferences with James Popovich (Pine Mountain) and a workman revealed that Ho C. Smith of Globe was still exploring for oer in the Ord and had no success with his small retort. Some of the dump ore (1 to 2 lbs. to the ton) was treated previously at the Rattlesnake Mill under the supervision of Gordon Grimes of Payson. (Due to car trouble I was unable to visit the mill but no· work seemed to be going on as seen from the highway.) Memo LAS 10-25-66

Interview with L.D. Cunningham. He reported that he had been paid in,full to relieve the labor lein he had on the property. He said that two Gaylor brothers then leased the property and shipped about 40 tons of ore to the Rattlesnake mill. This is reported to have barely paid the milling cost. Cunningham said that these people were in trouble of some sort and he had:'n'bt seen them of late, and-that they had had no mining experience and were not equipped for mining. It was his opinion that much repair ~JOrk would be required to rehabilitate the mine, as much of it was heavy.

These men said that McFarland was still around. Attempts to contact him failed. The Bluebird, according to Frederickson has several short adits aimed at reaching the intersection of the Ord shear zone with two large rhyolite porphyry dikes. It is believed that the best ore potential would be at these intersections. Memo LAS 6-27-63

Visit and conference with Gordon Grimes, Work Supervisor

The work now being done is on the Little Indian Claim of the Ord Group. Gordon Grimes and McFarland have a lease on the Ord Group. Jack Stewart (253-3959) is the angel. He was not available at his office but will be contacted later. Gus Packard's Cyprus Claims lie across the Slate Creek to the south. The cut is 0.8 miles up Slate Creek from the Ord Mill.

The work consists of sinking a deep open cut that overlies an old tunnel below. This portion of the tunnel ':,is not at present accessible. The cut is about 45-50 feet in diameter and up to 50 feet deep at the deepest place. The east face of the cut shows

~J

a wide intimately sheared zone that is close to vertical and generally trends approximately N 40-50 deg E. The shear zone as now exposed is about 35 feet wide but appears to extend further both to the northwest and to the southeasto In the cut bottom the shear has been rolled. About 4 feet of this shear zone lying nearly in the middle of the northeast face of the cut, is mineralized with cinnabar and metacinnabarite. According to Grimes the ore runs about 4-6 pounds to the ton and the tunnel below this cut is reported to contain some much higher grade ore. They also plan to reopen the tunnel, the portal of which is now covered by highway fill.

A stockpile of ore has been accumulated beside the highway and this will soon be retorted at the Rattlesnake Mill. Earlier 50-75 tons of this material averaging 3-4 pounds to the ton and 4 flasks were obtained. This was partly sold to Arizona Hard Chrome Co., 2609 W. Cypress (278-6322) Phoenix.

MEMO

Blue Bird and drd S UNFLO~1ER DIST.

GILA COUNTY

Mr. McFarland stated that Amity Mining Co.' s options on the Bluebird (owned by C.O. Carlson, Paysan and A. Fredrickson, Phoenix) and the Ord'(Vanee Thornburg et al) is due to terminate near the end of the year. He said that O.L. Johnson, the principal in Amity' Mining Co. was heavily in debt and had failed to meet royalty payments and wages. C.O. Carlson stated that he and Fredrickson had reeinded their option as of the termination date, because of failure of Johnson to meet any of the stipulated pa,rments.

Mr. McFarland and Gordon Grimes (Payson) are prepared to seek an option on the two mines as soon as the' present options are done, provided the properties are optionable. Y.Ir. McFarland outlined an area, on the Bluebird that lies west of and against a large rhyolite dike and which straddles the Ord shear zone. Here he said they had exposed an ore bearing zone that is 1.500 feet long, by means of several adits and cuts. This is said to var,y from 4 to 20 feet wide. The No. 6 crosscut adit could be driven further West to intersect this zone at about 300 feet below the surface. Should this intersect ore, a considerable reserve would be inferred. This would bave to be further cheeked by drifting along the rhyolite schist contact to the northwest. This would show whether the 1500 feet in between this crosscut and the lowest ore outcrop is all ore or is composed of a series of lenses associated with the projected Ord shear planes and whether the inferred ore zone has consistent width and grade. McFarland said that the ore zone might be quite variable in width. Should the lense theory prevail, it would then appear important to determine if the intervening spaces between the lenses is of sufficient tenor so that a combination of the lense grade and the intervening grade would make ore. Until these theories are verified, any ore reserve figure would be highly problematical, particularly since the Sunflower District quicksilver ore Shoots generally tend to be somewhat lenticular, the lenses forming near or at pre-mineral structural intersections. According to both C.O. Carlson and McFarland, several assays across the inferred ore zone at various intervals, show from a few pound~of Hg, up to over 20 pounds per ton.

The ore minerals lie mainly in what appears to be a greenstone schist that contains jasper, brown siderite, or ankerite, and quartz. The ore minerals are Cinnabar, and some meta-cinnabarite, native mercury and a trpurplishrt mineral that may be :nercurial tennantite. The outcrop in places shows azurite and malachite, and often shows an orange limonite that is a good indication in this area. There is ,.evidence that this limonite may have resulted in part from alteration of the iron carbonate, which commonly is affiliated with the ore minerals and in part from copper-iron suilphides, such as tennanti te (mercurial), chalcopYirite and pyrite. S9me blebs of Cinnabar up to i inch in width were seen in speCimens, but much of the quicksilver bearing material is disseminated in the schist laminae or quartz.

Two or three truck loads of this ore is now stored above the Rattlesnake mill. This,. in addition to the minerals previous~ mentioned, contain considerable calcite that probably was partly instrumental in the formation of the azurite and malachite along with the iron-carbonates.

District Sunflower District - Gila County Engineer Lewis A. Smith

Subject: Interview with James McFarland

Mr. McFarland stated that operations were temporarily discontinued in lieu of further financing. The recent work uncovered a schist ore zone on the Bluebird claims about 30 feet wide, which assays 7 to 20 pounds in Hg per ton. Two other zones of lower grade (5-7 pounds) were also found. These zones appear to lie on the continuation of the Ord ore-bearing zone. C. O. Carlson stated that the various records indicate that the Ord had produced about 7500 flasks during,its history. He also said that Grady Harrison and Tom Russell had excellent ore in the main winze area but had to abandon it because of exceptionally heavy wet ground. The greenish schist slabs readily when wet. McFarland had repaired about 130 feet of the main Ord winze out of 165 feet. He said Tom Russell had siad that there is very good ore in the 165 foot level drift which bears west from the winze. The ore occurs in green to dark gray, thin-bedded and chloritic schist laced by narrow quartz, veinlets or kernels, and the schist frequently contains some copper as azurite and malachite stain. This ore is comparatively free of antimony or arsenic and consequently retorts well. Where the ore bearing zone outcrops can be seen, the oxidized cappings over the Ord orebodies are quite similar to those on the Bluebird. A very typical orange-brown limonite is usually associated with the better cinnabar ore outcrops. Siderite is commonly an accessory mineral. This orange-brown limonite could be an alteration product from the siderite as well as pyrite.

In the Bluebird claims, the ore zones are usually closely affiliated with a white opaque quartz. The quartz itself contains veinlets, blebs and impregnations of cinnabar, metacinnabarite and affiliated native quicksilver along with some siderite or ankeriteo These same ore minerals are in the intervening schist areas, and the bulk of the mined ore was schist. The Ord ore concentrations are usually at oblique "slip-dip" fault crossings of,the schist lamanae. There is considerable indication of similar structural conditions on the Bluebird claims. Mr. Carlson, who, with Ao A. Frederickson, owns these claims, also believes that this is so. He also stated that the ore bodies generally are lenses and that the intervening-, areas between the lenses are considerably lower grade than in the leases.

A conference -with L. n: Cunningham, Caretaker of the Ord, revealed that Thornburg wants to sell the mine. He also stated that a lack of money had prevented proper care of the mine workings. As a result they are deteriorating rapidly and some of the deeper workings are under water. He stated that Vance Thornburg's brother was killed in a hunting accident and that the affairs of the mime had been placed under James F.~Pou1os, Thornburg Lumber Company, 7th and Pitkin Streets, Grand Junction, Colorado.

Work:

~ ~I Sec. 17, ~9E, T7N., was purchased by.Thornburg from Tom Russell and Grady'IHq,rrison, about three years ago.

Two miles of underground workings in mica-si;icite schist containing numerous narrow quartz veinlets. General average milled by Thornburg was about 10 p~nds of quicksilver per ton. He had a 20 ton retort and brokeab6ut even, t:Qn plant being a Gould. furnace. Thornburg now plans 'to instal!lincreased sized and an improved version of the, Gould, "the change being based ori the oper~ ative principal of a Hersholdt furnace. The principal dificulty with the ore is the high kaolin content. When the ore is wet it becomes slim.ey and very hard to handle lDecause the wet kaolin seals up the finely disseminated cinnib~r. Since the bulk of the ore is finely disseminated in the schist, the problem is serious. Russell said, that the altered flo1:isheet may remove this obstacle. Since Russell and Harrison were mainly working a bove this local water table, they failed to encounter this trouble. Thornburg has since driven a long tunnel below t he water table so that the wet area can thus be reduced somewhat"

SUBJECT: Ord Mercury Mine

ENGINBER: Ken A. Phillips

DATE: April 1, 1983

Sorted and organized material in the Ord Mercury Mine file, Gila County. A copy of a portion of the BLM Mining Distrift sheet #128 was added to the file. This map shows the location of a group of surveyed and some patented claims, the Ord #1-#20, mineral survey #4086 in Sections 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, T7N R9E. These claims plus possibly others made up the Ord Mine, also known as the Ord Mercury Mine. A community "Stalker Village" and a portion of the mill and retort for the mine were all destroyed and the rubble buried by highway construction crews when State Highway 87 along Slate Creek was widened in the mid 1970·s.

Owners: Vance Thornburg - 258 S. Scottsdale Rd. Scottsdale

Property: Sec. 17, R9E, T7N. J was purchased by Thornburg from tom Russell and Grady'Htrr:l.son, about three yea.rs ago.

Work: TwoIDiles of underground workings in mica-siricite schist con,ta1ning numerous narrow quartl veinlets. General average milled by 'J'hornburg was abGut 10 pounds. of quicksilver per ton.. He had a 20 ton retort a ndbroke about even, t~Ett plant being a Gould furnace. Thornburg now plans to. install? l.ncreased sized and an improved version of t.he Gould, the. change being based on the operativepr~cipal of a Hersholdt furnace. The principal diticulty with the ore is the h1ghkaollncontent. When the ore is wet it becomes slmey'snd very h~Iad to handle becaus~· the wet kaolin seals uP. th~ finely disseminated cinnibar... Since the bulk of the ore istinely disseminated in the schist, the problem is serious. Russell saia,.that the altered tlowsheet may remove this obstacle. Since Russell and Harrison wer~ mainly working a bove this local water table, they failed to encounter' this trouble. Thornburg has since driven a long tunnel belowthe water table so that the wet area can thus be reduced somewhat.
