this week outfitting outwitting out fitting for a trip to the henry mountains where he proposes spending the winter doing development work on some mining claims in which he is interested mr snyder thinks that the henry mountains district will yet come to the front past experiences perien ces and disappointments to the contrary he has sufficient confidence in the district to announce that he will resume work in a foot tunnel on one of his properties and he is just optimistic enough to believe that before next spring he will encounter values that will cause renewed interest in the henrys st george advocate last week a rich strike was made at the dixie mine it is a chimney of 50 per cent blue azurite and over our informant did not know the extent of the body as they had not got through it it was encountered in a drift run north from the old engine room in the upper workings this strike substantiates the contention of foreman turley that the ground round above the old tunnel level had not even been prospected and that there were vast bodies of ore that had never been encountered every month adds proof that the dixie is a valuable property and new ore chutes are constantly being struck the new tunnel is nearing completion and when it is finished the mines will be in shape to employ a good force of men richfield sun A rich vein of ore has been opened up in the julia S group of claims of which J B stephens is a large shareholder the strike as reported consists of a four foot vein of galena and it is said is one of the richest deposits of this metal that has been found in the

stated that he had been out of town for several days and had just returned and fot for this reason did not know what developments had shown in his absence he admitted however that when he left a strike was daily looked for it is only within the past few weeks that the julia S group has been reopened and development work pushed in earnest richfield reaper M F murray went up to the gold

completed which required feet of lumber the compressor plant has been installed and is ready for commission several other necessary buildings such as bunk house eating house office rooms store house etc have been erected and fixed up comfortably for the winter the work in the L N tunnel is beginning to reveal the character of rock that is the aim of the development work and when it shall have reached the objective point at a vertical under the ridge a good big strong vein is expected this has already been demonstrated to exist in another tunnel nearer the summit so that the country is pretty well established as highly and extensively mineralized |
