Several Clouded Hems Will Remain for the Fiilure to Release. BECK TUNNEL IS DOING FINE WORK Mining Engineer Gives Fen-Facts Fen-Facts of Interest About the District. The statement made to The Tribune Thursday by President Ilolbrook of the Victoria Consolidated company, lo the effect ef-fect that, tho ore bodies of that property arc not blanket deposits but they go to depth continuously, was merely a further illustration of the fact that such Is typical typi-cal of the western side of tho Tlntlc district. An engineer well acquainted with Tlntlc gcolosy was asked on Friday for an explanation for this dlffoience In the eastern and western sides of the district, dis-trict, "The main difference between the western nnd eastern formations of Tlntlc." Tln-tlc." he slated. "Is that to the west the lime beds have been folded to a vertical position, while they are horizontal, or nearly so. In the eastern end. It was this nearly vertical position of the beds In the Cenlennial-Eureka mine, for instance, in-stance, which drained the property as far down as tho 2200-foot b-vel. which Ihe management terms permanent water levl. It Is xn ,ilp which carries the ore bodies to depth. Doeper Work Desirable. "To say that successive layers of beds In the eustcrn part of Tintlc will not bo found with ore deposits with depth Is decidedly unfair, for we do not ycl know enough about that section to draw any very conclusive opinion either way. We can only regret that such mines as the Colorado have not cone deeper after new ores, for that Is Ihe most logical property to test tho possibilities of the almost horizontal beds at better depth. But developing de-veloping a big property Is not done in a week or in a year, nnd In time we will know more about the eastern ecology of the camp. Our knowledge now Is imperfect. imper-fect. "The Beck Tunnel company is doing a mlghtv Important bit of work In and south of tho great oast and west break. If the Uncle. Sam ore really goes south, paralleling tho original Colorado chnnnel. it docs more than prove simply that this is a now ore channel. It will prove that tho big break is the chief mineralizing agent of the district and not a" more fault dating subsequently to the deposition of the ores. Such a determination is freighted wllh tremendous Importance, for the eastern side." Novadas in San Praucisco. James A.
