| Show RICH ORE IN CHAMPION record eldora colo the discovery of rich ore made last week in the champion tunnel on woodland mountain continues to improve with each foot of development progress is slow however owing to the hardness of the rock and the great amount of water coming in the rich streak is now fifteen inches in width and still growing and carrying the high values of over to the ton that was first reported alongside of this rich streak in fact the whole width of the tunnel is composed entirely of quartz and crevice matter that will no doubt run good pay for sylvanite sylv anit e and tellurium is liberally sprinkled throughout the entire width all this is being saved an and d a trial shipment will soon be made the exact width of the vein cannot yet be determined as th the e has bas not been exposed and the vein seems to be spreading out on both sides 1 mr fr campball is planning to thoroughly develop this property a and nd will put on a force of men as soon as the present contract is finished which has ten more feet to run the champion tunnel will be continued to a junction with the F J K vein which will be cut at a depth of feet this vein is one of the strongest and best defined on the hill it has been prospected on the surface to considerable extent and in no instance shows less than six feet of tellurium quartz that runs from 8 to 68 in gold to the ton the characteristics of the rich streak in the tunnel are very similar to the quartz in the F J K in many instances there being no visible difference on account of this similarity it is thought by mining men of unquestioned ability that the rich streak in the tunnel is but a feeder to the main ore shoot in the F J K and that when the junction of the two veins is made a veritable bonanza will be opened up As there is but a few feet to be run before the junction is fr made it will not be long before the result will be known and the record will derive great pleasure in giving to the world the news of a rich strike of bonanza ore |
