Show THE BOSTON ELY record ely nev E W ralph manager of the boston ely was down from the mines this week and expresses great encouragement over developments of the past two weeks A four foot stringer of ore carrying much native copper has been cut in the northwest crosscut and a is being sunk on stringers of sulphide on the same level the has encountered a small flow of water but a pump has been installed which in the opinion of mr ralph will permit the sinking of the to a depth of fifty feet and at that distance beneath the water level he expects to be able to demonstrate the values of the newly found ore bodies the hoisting plant has a capacity of fifteen hundred feet hence the only equipment for further development will be the installation of a pump of greater capacity A line on the inflow of water will be determined by the present pump mr ralph has demonstrated his theories that the enriched zone would be struck at water level and by following down the stringers of ore he is confident that a wider zone of enrichment will soon be encountered the boston ely company has money sufficient for six or eight months development and by that time it is hoped to be possible to get more definite information upon the extent and magnitude of the ore bodies |
