This ; is a fine opening "tor a company with I capital, and we "believe some one will ' get control durum 'his summer and j deyclope the Se-orpion into a paying ' mine-. rut siioi;t:niL.; Silver Mining Company are pushing their work ionvnrd witii energy. Their shall house and engine room, SO x 10, are up and nearly completed. Their engine, often horse power, for hoisting, is in position and ready for operations. They have a fine "wire cable tbr us- very desirable ina mine of such -depth. ' About seventy-five feet down in the shaft, they have run a drift south nearly fifty "feet, where they have a hodvofore varying from four to nLie feet in width. This is the largest body ever found upon their property, "it is black sulphurets, and continues to improve in quality. Four feet of this body of ore carries thirty I per cent, copper, with an avarage I value in silver of fifty dollai-s. Otncr j drills are being rim from which large j quantities of ore are being raised, and I the product of the mine must be very largely increased now with the aid of ' the steam hoister. Nei.rly two hunoV 1 Ted tons arc on the dump ready to be ! hauled to the company's mill in lull ' sight of the mine. A line wagon road i enables them to handle then- ore ' cheaply, while tho valley furnishes r unlimited quantities of timber for all ; necessary purposes. A few more ; mines of the value- of the Shoebridgo I -wilt produce a change of views con- eerning Tintic, and turn thealtention ofcapital this way. Since writing the alwve Mr. Jen-j Jen-j nings, assayer for the comijany, has made eight sample assays showing j one hundred and twenty-eight dollars j in silver, and 2o per cent, copper. !. This great appreciation in the value 1 of their ore must bo very gratifying i to tho owners of Shoebridc stock. j Some two weeks since Rev. Moses F. Shim, of Omaha, came here and purchased THE DUTCH EK J!OV, Situated a little distance north ol j town, and is taking out some fine j ore. One lot of seventy-six hundred poundssampled over one hundred and ; twelve dollars. Other samples of 1 seventy-five and eighty-five dollars , have been had, while specimens assaying as-saying from two to four hundred dollars dol-lars have been found. We trust this may prove a good investment to its owner, and he be induced to spend the summer with us. W. R. B. |
