Show BEAVER RAXGE MIXES SOOX TO BE LISTED Application will be made this week by the management of the Beaver Range mines company to list on the local stock exchange. The property is located in the Mineral Mountain range, nine miles southeast from Black Rock station on the Salt Lake Route and near the division line between be-tween Beaver and Millard counties. The decision to list was made at a special meeting of the directors on Friday. There were present Col. John B. Taylor, geologist and engineer, en-gineer, called the "dean of Utah mining:" Leo Neilson, a well known business man of Logan; R. B. Garff, connected with the Empire Copper and Boston Development company; Dr. O. J. Monson and William W. Moody, pioneer mining man of the Mineral Range section of the state. Besides the decision to list, the directors di-rectors appointed an executive committee com-mittee consisting of Messrs. Taylor and Garff. It is announced that the company has been fully financed for an active campaign of development work. At present a force of men under Superintendent Moody is driving the main Chicago tunnel ahead. It is in 300 feet and the face is coming under a strong north-south fissure. Mr. Moody brought up samples that he knocked off the outcrop above the tunnel. The ore carries lead and silver values. The tunnel should be under it in seventy or eighty feet. These samples are estimated at 11 to 12 per cent lead and 90 ounces of silver, judging from others that were assayed. Mr. Moody reported that he had discovered a new outcropping ore shoot on Keystone No. 5. This is alongside a limestone-quartzite contact con-tact 1800 feet to the south of the Chicago tunnel, but probably on the same fissure. He had also found some good looking copper ore on Keystone No. 1 which is still further to the south and east. This Is over near where a shaft about 100 feet deep has followed copper down all the way. The Beaver Range property prop-erty is equipped with camp buildings and supplies to carry on work for upwards up-wards of five months. In a recent report on the district Col. Taylor said: "This property lies in lhe limestone and sedimentary rocks of the upper carboniferous period, which are closely related to the Great Range Basin, i. e., Oquirrh, Tintic, Beaver and others, but Is somewhat of younger origin. The' range is built up of domolite, chert, brown, blue, gray and white soluble limestones and quartzite with granite gran-ite Intrusions. "During the mountain building period this section was the center of a complex geological cataclysm, great north-south Assures rent the rocky masses in twain, permitting the deep-seated magmas to ascend and fill up these fissuroB, and causing caus-ing fractures and UssureB during the cooling of the rocks, and causing the deposition of the ascending mineralized mineral-ized solutions carrying lead, silver, copper and gold, depositing same upon up-on and In the cooling rocks." Another paragraph reads: "Brec-ciation "Brec-ciation and leaching are seen on the surface and in all the workB. faults and fissures are cutting the bedding planes from all directions, permitting the filling up of all fractures with ore." I The report tells of samples of 'ore found on the Beaver Range car-J car-J rying 60 per cent lead, 70 ounces of silver and 10 cents In gold to the I ton. From the copper ore outcrop samples showed 20.5 per cent cop-, cop-, per. 2.57 ounces silver and CO cents i gold to the ton. -Ex. |
