Show THE AMERICAN FLAG record park city utah since the write up of the american flag in our last issue much interest has been manifested in this property and many are beginning to realize that a new mine has really been discovered in the camp henry M crowther the well known mining expert made a trip through the mine and speaks as follows of what he saw in my official capacity as consulting engineer I 1 visited the american flag yesterday with captain and sampled the recent strikes on the 1000 foot level there have been developed two strong fissures of high grade ore these fissures are thirty five feet apart and equal distan distances C es of both sides of the 1000 foot station drifting is now in progress in both of these and on one a thirty foot has been sunk in the ore there are several shipments of first f r S t class ore now in the bins that is ore valued at from 50 to while there are a number of tons sacked of extra high grade ore that is worth from 15 to 25 cents per pound it being high grade silver and gold ore containing considerable lead and copper it will take a few weeks to open up these strikes to a regular producing basis but there is no question about the ultimate e great value of the property th there ere is a compressor plant now installed in the property and it is expected that the mine will be piped and air drills installed within the next ten days this american flag ore is undoubtedly the richest gold ore of the camp ores containing from one half to three ounces gold per ton will be regularly produced while the ore also contains high grade values in silver and lead with no small amount of copper this condition is very gratifying to me as two years ago I 1 took a fifteen days option on the entire treasury stock of the company and sold it for cash there have also been large bodies of low grade ore opened up to this time which will not be lost sight of in future operations |
