Horn Silver Mine of Tintic Lead Company, Beaver County, Utah Moscow Silver, Operating Crane to Direct Work and Near Milford Opens Shaft to be Deepened Up Jwo Rich Faces. To 1.100 Foot Level. 'Operation of tbo Moscow Silver Mines company will be centered for the Immediate present upon aggressive development at three def -Inlte points In the Star district property. Sinking of the three compartment shaft from tha 1400 to tho 1100 foot level; mining of two breasts of rich or, opened up for six and eight lost respectively, on tho 15(0 and ths ISIS foot lev sis; and projection of a drift on tho 1100 foot level southerly la wholly unexplored territory to prospect tha ore bearing lime. tone at their intersection with the Boston and other fissure, productive of considerable rich ore on the surface. Confident that the fault problem haa been solved and that development Is on tha verge of breaking into era bodice even richer and larger than those productive of in tho upper levels. Manager Gar rat t B. Wilkin ha given orders for tho sinking of tho shaft la the heart of tho mineralised territory. Contract for this work is to bo awarded at ones. New steel cable sufficient to allow sinking to tho 2000 foot level has been ordered, and a carload of lumber and other supplies. ' Two Shoots Cut. A visit to tho mist and an Inspection of tho ore bodies opened up on tho 1160 and tho 16(6 levels, about 1200 fast vertically below tho surface, la all that is necessary to convince tha conservative-minde- d person that tho Moscow has unusual possibilities at depth. The winse below tho 1400 level was put down on a fissure of ordinary sis and mineralisation. After passing through a streak of auiphido ore, evidently was sealed otf from tho surface-watthe oxidised sons was .again entered. In sinking to the 16(6 level, a half dosen carloads " of ore wilt pfodtioed, the last or which nattad the company 12200, after smelting and railroad expenses. Shipment not only paid for this development but furnished further substantiation for Mr. Wilkins tho theory that mineralisation in has Moscow persists to depth and off by only been cut faulting, Deposit Rich. On the 1660 level, a sis foot breast of ere. essaying (4 per cent lead and 12 ounces of sliver to the ton, was exposed last week. Further work In this lateral was stopped to develop this ore from below and facilitate etoping. In drifting 40 feet south west, tho second ore body, evidently not as offshoot of that on tho 1660, has been opened. On tiaturday morning, two and a half foot of ore was exposed in tha bottom and southwest side of tho heading. A email amount of picking opened up two fast and a half more ore. Saturday afternoon, tho drill was driven to tho southwest along tha atrlko of tha fissure in solid ore.
