Show PROSPECTS OF THE "AMAZON" I A force of miners lert this morning for the Amazon mining property In Logan canyon, and by Monday, the season'a work will be In full swing. Manager II. C. Hansen Is ever exceedingly exceed-ingly conservative In his expressions regarding the Amazon, but we gather from his casual conversation that In his mind the future of tho property as a wealth producer was practically assured oy last year's work. The big vein which crops so strongly at the surface and from which much shipping oro was taken, has been cross cut at a point (100 fett from the mouth of tho Blue Rock Tunnel and at a- vertical ver-tical depth of about 250 feet. At this point a great deal of splendid milling oro has made lis appearance, along with occasional bunches of high giadc running well up Into the hundreds per ton. It Is the Intention of thd management man-agement to sink upon this veln-which by tho way.lssald to be a tiuo fissure cutting the massive magneslanllme, and also to drift along Its strike to catch such ore shoots as may exist. Tho leached condition of the vein fill-Itig fill-Itig abovo leads to the belief that largo bodies of shipping ore will be encoun- jH tcred as depth Is attained, H In order to facilitate tho sinking of M winzes, an air hoist will bo Installed, jH making a most valuable addition to H tho compressor plant with which tho jH mine Is already equipped. It can be H said in trutli that no prospect In Cache iH has been worked more systematically jjH or In a more business llko way than H has the Amazon. Manager Hansen IJH has had a definite plan all along, has JH worked to this plan at all times and H developments have been such that ho H has never had cause tot doubt the H worth of that plan. The development H of this property means much for the H material welfare or Cache Valley. H |
