Show NEW DISCOVERY IN THE HONEY BEE by james F obrien lovelock nev oct 27 the new ore discovery which was made last week on what appears to be the main vein of the many fissures and cross fractures that traverse the ground of the nevada honey dee bee company at loring is showing up fine under development and it promises to prove a find of considerable importance A trench fifteen feet long which reaches a depth of five or six feet has been run and it all shows vein matter with neither wall in sight much free gold is visible in the live looking quartz and more of it that shows no gold at all produces numerous colors of coarse gold on being panned even the loose dirt at this point pans well at other places on this vein ore showing bromide of copper has been found and the results are so encouraging that the management has put three additional miners prospecting the surface with the object of opening up other ore shoots the benedetti tunnel now in feet will gain considerable depth by the time it gets under the abovementioned above mentioned trench and it is expected to find there a good body of ore the malley shaft is down feet and will be continued to the foot point where a station will be cut and lateral work started to develop the vein opened up in the oddle oddie shaft High grade gold ore one who if not exactly skeptical wished to be convinced that the ore on the jose davis companas comp anys sheepherder lease in which little or no free gold was visible was as rich as has been claimed by the management took his own samples of the red oxidized quartz at different places in the tunnel and had an assay run by bellam of reno the returns showed ounces gold and ounces silver to the ton a total value of with silver figured at per ounce it is not claimed or believed by the management that much of the ore now in sight will run so high or anywhere near it it being evident that the grab sample happened to be unusually rich rock but the result is cited as evidence that the claim of considerable ore that will aver a per ton is likely to be within the truth ethel group being worked the ethel group in the south end of the loring district a mile and a half from the honey dee bee is now being actively worked and it is possible that it will develop into a real sensation it is easy enough to believe that specimens now being taken out with bromide and chloride of silver and gray copper showing will run or better to the ton and the only question appears to be whether this grade of ore will 11 be found in sufficiently large bodies tho the owners forbes and loose brothers have no doubt it will they point to the fact that the character of the ore is the same as that of the queen of sheba and arizona mines on the same belt which produced many millions in the past the fact that little work was done on the ethel group for several months after the discovery of rich ore was inexplicable to some but the explanation is quite simple the veins run through patented railroad land adjoining and forbes and the looses did not want to make much of a showing until they had bought acres from the southern pacific that having been accomplished complis hed they are now getting busy there is a big vein on the ethel group which runs almost due north and south and can be traced for feet A cloudburst uncovered a small vein feet west of the big one and it is here that the highest grade ore is found and where sinking is now in progress the small vein dips to the east and the big one dips to the west and it is figured that at a depth of feet they will come together A sample across ten inches at a depth of ten feet assayed per ton it running 5 per cent copper with the balance of the values in silver 0 |
