each butte buffe miner As a result of thirty feet of drifting along the twelve foot lead encountered in the east end of the 1500 foot level of the raven early last week it was learned that the valuable ore body is even wider than was at first belie believed ved crosscut cross cut ting to the hanging wall disclosed the fact that the vein is exactly twenty feet in width and the ore is of such quality that if the lead does not peter out the raven is destined to bec become ome a valuable mine samples from the new lead were on exhibition the past week and elicited many favorable comments from men competent to judge about six hundred feet east on the 1200 foot level a four foot vein of good ore was encountered saturday while not nearly as important a discovery as the strike on the 1500 the disclosure proved very gratifying to the operators butte evening news bedrock at feet is the news that comes from the butte london grounds the management is jubilant the time required to put the property among the list of pro producers d acers of th the e district will be much shortened by the proximity of bed rock to surface A station will be cut on the foot level and sinking continued from the point it was the original intention to sink to the 1200 and then to crosscut but the pleasing discovery of the shallowness of the wash has apparently changed this sinking up to date has been on record breaking speed not a hitch of any kind has occurred work in the granite will be slower than in the wash but the distance to ore is now known to be much less than was thought at first and no time will be lost in sinking the operations are in charge of capable men as has been demonstrated by the work done thus far the discovery at the butte london means much not alone to that property but to the butte northern the butte copper belt and several other mines that are getting ready for development work in that district |
