Show THE PROVO MINE reporter eureka utah without doubt one of the most important strikes that has been made in the eastern part of the tintic gintic district in many months was reported from the provo property on wednesday morning about a week previous to that time the ore was encountered upon the foot level at a point about feet to the east of the shaft when the ore was encountered on this level fevel however no effort was made to open it up any more than was necessary to determine the course of the vein in fact work was suspended there and the miners transferred to the level where another and much more important strike was made on wednesday the last strike was made at a point about feet to the east of the shaft and superintendent del roberts and those who are familiar with the mine di not expect to cut the ore until the drift had been pushed in a distance of about 2 00 feet this leads to the belief that tha r body which has been encountered is entirely different from anything which has yet been opened up in the east tintic gintic development mine which adjoins the provo upon the south the ore which has been encountered is in the southern portion of the provo mine and inasmuch as the vein makes north and south there is every reason to believe that it will extend entirely through the provo ground giving the company about 1500 feet of the vein some months ago a number of local people secured a lease upon the provo property and ever since that time the development of the ground has been carried on under their direction two shifts have I 1 been kept continuously at work and del roberts a well known mining man who was superintendent at the sioux cons mine for a couple of years has been superintending super intending this work the stock which is upon the market is the stock of the original provo mining company and the owners of the lease have issued no stock whatever the lease however carries an option upon a pretty big block of the treasury stock of the provo company and the parties who are interested inte reste in the lease should not only be able to clean up a nice piece of money for themselves but by the shipment of ore will no dor be able to make some money for the shareholders of the provo company mining men with interests in the eastern part of the tintic gintic district have been watching the provo closely because of the fact that a strike in this ground would be a wonderful thing for that section and now that such strike has been made they all declare that the provo is destined to become one of the biggest bonanzas on the east side |
