E-71 THE MOTHER LODE In the distant past, far beyond the knowledge of man, at a time which the geologists of the present day estimate by the ages of the solidified deposits of the crust, with which they are familiar to a depth of several thousand feet, the minerals which man uses in the industries and commerce, were deposited by the action of certain chemicals in the matrices where they are ton xl today. These ore bodies or deposits are generally of irregular widths and of various degrees of depth and length; the surface outcrop being usually taken as an indication of their lateral and longitudinal extent, but their depth is determinable only by the sinking of shafts or the use of the churn or diamond drill. These ore deposits, in their ramifications, can be likened to a tree and its limbs or branches; the trunk representing the lode and the limbs the smaller veins.

The offshoots of the mother lode, however, do not always take the form of veins, because some of them are thrown off horizontally, thereby becoming blanket formations, whereas a vein is a perpendicular deposit, or nearly so. Generally speaking the great mines of a country are located on the mother lode, and it is by their subterranean work that this fact is usually conclusively proven, and with a chain of these mines strung across a wide area of territory, with considerable regularity as to trend or direction and a similarity of formation, the location of the mother lode becomes established beyond the question of a doubt. This being so, and Arizona being one of the greatest mineral producing states in the Union, one is led to ask; Is there a mother lode in Arizona To any one who has access to a map of the state and a fair knowledge of the mineralogical formation in which the large mining companies are pursuing their work, it becomes a relatively easy matter to answer in the affirmative and to trace the mother lode across the state. Unfamiliarity with the orebearing deposits of the great producing mines need not, however, preclude a person from determining the location of this lode. Mining men who have thoroughly examined the geological formations and closely investigated the character of the ores of these mines, have in nearly every instance ascertained that they bear a remarkable resemblance to each other.

Character in ore is similar to that attribute in man, viz; in its visibility. The knowledge obtained by these investigators warrants them to make the assertion that the mother lode is located in a zone that has an approximate width of fifty miles, that its is northwesterly and southeasterly across the state and that it passes through Cochise county in its course into Mexico. Upon the authority of those possessing this knowledge it may be stated that Bisbee lies nearly midway between its side lines, and having this information to proceed on, in drawing the lines across the map of this state we are faced by a mineraiogical diagnosis that admits of no uncertainty, for within its confines, with Bisbee, appear the names of Tombstone, Johnson, Ray, Globe, Superior, Silver King, Jerome, Prescott and a score or more'of mining camps which are famed throughout the land as producers of mineral wealth.
