Show I THE SUNBEAMS CONSOLIDATED Old Silver City Producers to Be Worked Once Again The old Sunbeam ledge at Silver City Tintic which has been a wonderful wonder-ful producer of highgrade ore in its day is now to be developed and worked work-ed in a most thorough and scientific manner iOn i-On the Sunbeam ledge there are sev i era mines that have been noted as I wealth producers These mines which I I are known as the Twombley Sunbeam J Lawrence Sunbeam the McHatten Sunbeam and the Be nian Sunbeam have been paying propositions from the grassroots butnot depth has ever i been attained by any of them the deepest workings not exceeding 300 feet and what is mostly of note in every instance work was suspended on a body of ore in ail these mines I has been intimated in these columns that a big deal was in pro gress which involved several valuable Silver City properties but it was feared I fear-ed that mentIQn in detail of the proposed II pro-posed enterprise might queer it so the facts were withheld but The Herald I I is now free to say that the proposition i i I was to consolidate the properties on the Sunbeam ledge above mentioned This has been successfully done by Professor M E Jones and his associates asso-ciates who intend organizing a company oranizing cm pany for the thorough development o the group Work is now in progress under the direction of Professor Jones and it is believed that at an early day the Sunbeam Consolidated will find a place on the shipping list from that end of Tintic district The Sunbeamin the porphyry like i the Swansea promises to make a record re-cord for itself at no distant day The Swansea the first mine in that region regon to cut down through the stratum of iron pyrities is now in a magnificent body of solid galena ore that carries good values in silver and it is believed be-lieved that after getting through the pyrities on the Sunbeam ledge that a similar body of ore will be encountered On the ledge south of the Twombly lode is the Elmer Ray ground The workings in this mine are down 300 feet and in the bottom of the shaft there are six feet of pyritic ore and it is the genera opinion that like the Swansea a body of rich ores under lies this pyritic formation The Elmer Ray has recently been sold to eastern parties at a good round figure and it is thought that work on the property will be resumed this summer The Woodmanse claim on the north end of the Sunbeam ledge is now the only obtainable piece of ground on the lode This is claimed to be very valuable valu-able property and is certainly in a good locality as it winds up in Dragon Hollow near the Dragon Iron mine I which is believed to be the feeder for all the mines in that locality The Sunbeam ledge is the key to the mineralization of that portion of the country and in its immediate vicinity there are old producers of note in eluding the Undine the Shoe bridge Bonanza and the Showers group The consolidation of the Sunbeam properties means a gpod deal for the mining interests of Silver City as deep mining there will now be the order of the day and a few pioneers in this direction will prove to a large extent the mineral wealth of all the ground belt on the Silver City porphyry bltPATEXT |
