Show SPIRO ON SILVER KING CON returning from a recent two days trip of inspection to the silver king consolidated mine at park city utah litah solon spiro of isalt lake president and general manager of the company had the following to say regarding conditions there 1 I was entirely unprepared by my last visit in july for the wonderful expansion which has taken place in ill the carbonate ore body instead of one bedding as before there are two distinct beddings exposed which swell out at intervals into large chambers the carbonate ore blocked above the 1625 foot level is estimated to be ten times the amount shipped during development and there is every indication that larger will be found in the virgin ground into which the ore is making the product of this is of the highest grade the blocks of sulphide ore which were standing in the main fissure at the time of my last visit are still untouched we have shipped a great many cars of sulphide but all of it has been taken out in development of the northeast bedding the rolling and fracturing of the black lime hanging wall leave cavities filled with ore which beds out into the foot as far as we have gone and evidently for hundreds of feet beyond our present faces the mechanical improvements at the property are ideal in their simplicity and economy the aerial tramway is going like a clock the mill is running smoothly with small mall labor expense and should soon be up to its rated capacity 1 I 1 have watched the construction of all the big tunnels at park city and I 1 can say that I 1 have seen nothing to compare in workmanship speed and economy with ours it is in about 1300 feet four fissures already cut prove that we are in a mineral formation which aich promises great things when the better known veins are reached 1 I take particular pride in the efficiency of our improvements because they were planned and executed under the direction of our regular engineering staff I 1 am satisfied that the results would have been no better a and nd might not have been so good if we had had thousands of dollars worth of special talent employed |
