Show HIGH GRADE IN COALITION eight inches of quartz that Is literally Rib boned with gold review miner lovelock nev fifteen feet below the eighth level in the friedman of the seven troughs coalition mining companas comp anys workings a streak of high grade ore came in at the bottom last friday measuring fully eight inches in width and literally rib boned with gold the development of the vein through this working has shown a big strong vein of rich ore from the fifth level down without interruption or break running occasionally sio signally nally as high as per ton but at no place before has any considerable quantity of high grade or picture rock been encountered and it is believed by the management that the source of the high grade which has been found in the upper levels from time to time in detached fragmentary deposits has at last been reached the vein at the point where the high grade has now been struck is composed of hard white quartz and lying between walls of basalt and gives every evidence of further permanence and richness A new gould sinking pump is being installed in the friedman to facilitate the rapid advancement of this work considerable sid erable delay having been occasioned through the inadequacy of the old equipment to handle the water vater but with the placing of the new pump the will go down at the rate of two feet daily and the vein with its wonderfully rich unfold ings will be quickly disclosed the eighth level station has been cat ca t and drifts are being started east and west the drifts east and west on the seventh sevena 1 1 level are both in ore of excellent milling grade showing an average vein width of more than two feet the above thle this level as well as those contiguous to the upper levels continue both productive and rich the latter condition being demonstrated by the fact that the mill run tor for the present month will average between and per ton in gold the hanging wall crosscut cross cut which is being driven from the sixth level in a southwesterly direction has now reached a distance of one hundred feet from its initial point and has for the last twenty feet traversed the black basaltic dyke which invariably forms one of the vein walls and within the next sixty five feet according to careful surveys the first of the veins forming the westerly system will have been penetrated this vein was cut at three different points in the vicinity of and in sinking the lookout shaft but it while showing good values wherever crossed was never prospected by the leasers leaders operating that part of the property the crosscut cross cut from the fifth level now measuring 70 feet has feet further to advance before its objective point the intersection with the kindergarten vein is reached As the vein in the hanging and foot wall wal are entered they will be speedily developed and worked and it is largely in anticipation of the early increase in tonnage from froin these sources that the work incidental to the addition of ten more stamps to the milling capacity will be pushed to completion immediately after the cyanide plant is in operation with the exception of the tailings elevator the installation of which has been delayed through a delay in the delivery of the equipment the cyanide plant will ie ready for operation by the time this paper goes to press and the mill tails will go directly to the agitating tanks for treatment and not later than september 15 tile the tailings elevator will be in readiness all minor additions completed and the plant working to its full capacity |
