col E F freuden thal the well known and popular nevada mining operator and will C higgins editor of the mining review the night ride to milford was pleasant and restful and a fine spread in dining car beguiled the time until solus station was reached here carriages were in waiting and the visitors donning their digging clothes were soon to the 0 K mine a mile from the station over a good road of easy grade arriving at the mine the crowd was introduced to captain si osborne general superintendent of the majestic properties after being p photographed hoto graphed the party descended into the mine going down the incline shaft in a bucket built for two the first stop was on the level where the workings were duly inspected spec ted one of the most interesting features of which was the jewel box cave the top sides and bottom of which presented a solid and massive body of fine shipping and milling ore while to make conditions the more pleasing the entire workings on this level were in great bodies of ore some of which was of very high grade and presenting almost every character of mineral bearing rock in which copper occurs included in the list being peacock copper copper carbonates bo nates native copper black oxide of copper copper sulphides sulp hides and several other varieties all in pleasing quality and quantity and yet withal the condition that most astonished the party was the magnitude of the deposit on the neither wall of which had been encountered on this level although the body had been cross cut in several places for a distance of to feet and drifted upon for six or seven hundred feet on the if any change chancre was noticeable it was for the better at this level an increase in values was noticeable the bodies of high grade ore were larger if anything and native copper was more abundant while a visible dampness indicated the near approach to water level below which from all indications and according to all rules rule in mining in this western country the ore bodies will become J P Z Z N X r v the Viii iari in their digging dicing clothed at the 0 K X rha hafl still larger and richer in their metallic C contents on the the ore body had been developed in a manner similar to that which characterized operations in the upper levels and some idea of the immense reserves of ore already blocked out can be realized when the statement is made that the ore body has been sunk upon for a depth of feet has been drifted upon fo or feet and crosscut cross cut for nearly feet the entire workings being in ore that will pay well if smelted smelter on the ground this mass of ore the mining review is informed will average from 7 to 10 per cent in copper to the 06 ton and 6 to 10 in gold and silver exclusive of the chutes of rich ore which will average 40 iper ap ar cent in copper coppe to the ton with corresponding values in gold and silver the matrix carrying linie lime and running so high in iron that the ore is a very fine fluxing flexing proposition As to the tonnage in sight anyone at all good in figures can easily work out the problem for himself taking twelve cubic feet as the dimensions required for a tonof conof ore brief as this necessarily in an article so must be it would be impossible to record the many exclamations and expressions of surprise and pleasure with which the visitors viewed this great treasure vault of dame nature suffice it to say that all were highly pleased and gratified beyond measure the of opinion being that the showing con census g was much greater than expected and almost beyond belief another most pleasing surprise awaited the party at the old hickory in rocky district five miles from the 0 K mine this property is but an easy drive from the 0 K X and the surface showings were such that the visitors were dumbfounded the high grade copper ore from the shallow workings fairly covering the ground this mine is just across the gulch from the famous montreal mine owned by the glasgow western mining company com corn gany and in the estimation of the party is fully if not more valuable than the 0 K on the various dumps within its extensive environments there are thousands of tons of ore awaiting treatment at the new smelter as soon as it is in commission on tuesday october 2 the party were driven from frisco over to copper gulch about three miles from frisco as the crow flies but ten or twelve miles by the wagon road around the mountain I 1 lere here an inspection was made m ade of the great cactus group owned by sam newhouse the blackbird owned by dr P A H franklin and the comet the property of A B lewis president of the majestic company which it is stated is another of beaver countes coun tys bonanzas in embryo this trip was much enjoyed by our eastern cousins as it gave them some idea of 0 f the extent and magnitude of the of beaver county and an opportunity t to 0 make comparisons between the mines in the various districts of that section wednesday the day was given over to a visit to the harrington hickory group of the majestic holdings and of the i some time was spent in making an inspection inspect 10 of the smelter site a mile below milford malfo 1 w where here work was rapidly progressing sing inlay in lav lt the foundations for the splendid plant wh ich the mining review is informed by M r ayres will be one of the best most complete and most up to date ever built in the west or n in any other country for that matter at the harrington hickory another sur su prise was in store as here the excursionists found a vast amount of ore of excellent value blocked out in the mine workings and stored on the dump on the surface the vi Vich asb bura r 6 also appealed strongly to the visiting share holders and prospective investors there bein behy a variety of opinion among them as to which of all the companas comp anys collection of prospective 1 e bonanzas were the most valuable and desirable in addition attention was called to the fact that the company at its smelter site possessed an abundance of water ample for all purposes that the smelter was reached by a spur of the 0 S L road and that the plant could be easily reached by other spurs from the main line which are to be put in at an early day thus minimizing the cost of transportation por tation from the mines to the reduction works while in the near future the waters of beaver river are areto to be harnessed jor tor the purpose of furnishing electrical power and light for the smelter as well as the mines after making a thorough inspection of the properties embraced
