Show BEAVER LAKE METAL, OLD CRATER, BEAVER COPPER OPERATIONS Conditions at the Beaver Lake Metal, Beaver Copper and Old Crater are very encouraging, according to General Manager Lewis Merrimau. who came up from Beaver county the fore part of the week. He said yesterday yes-terday that the Beaver Lake work is being prosecuted on the 100 and 150 levels. The drift out on the 100 from the incline shows bunches of ore coming in the vein matter. The values val-ues are in lead and silver. On the 150 foot level the miners have struck the vein. This is vertically under the ore-shoot above where a carload of lead-silver ore was shipped last fall that netted the company about $800. The fissure is strong and with only one wall in sight. The prospects pros-pects are decidedly encouraging. There is a force of six men employed. At the Beaver Copper the main work is on the 200 level. Here a drift is making out north 25 feet, where a fissure has entered showing copper values. The crosscut wll be continued to cut the second fissure, the two being about 50 feet apart. The second should be cut any time now,, when some news of interest to the stockholders Is anticipated. Half a dozen men are working. At the Old Crater, in Mineral mountain, south of the Beaver Range Mines and north of the Mammoth Copper, a drift is going out on a fine fissure on the 100 level. Some values in silver and lead are coming in. There is a good contact and mineralized min-eralized apertures are appearing through the formation. Three men are employed here. Mr. Merriman, who for years has been superintendent of the Yankee Consolidated, considers that he has three of the best prospective mines in that part of the state. He is backed back-ed up by a number of Tintic and Salt Lake men. The two Beavers are located lo-cated twelve miles northwest from Milford in a strongly mineralized section. Herald-Republican. : ' |
