Show THE BUNKER HILL SULLIVAN SULLIVAN A wardner idaho correspondent of the wallace press says wardner feb 9 the famous old bunker hill sullivan mine today made its reputation of being the greatest single producer of lead silver ore in the world and its claim to have the greatest ore chutes was fully demonstrated when authentic report was made that the crosscut drift on the no 10 level had broken into the ore shoot of the level above known as the march the reports state the ore shoot to be opening even more favorably than did the no 9 shoot which was the wonder of the mining world for its length and breadth and immensity of ore first class pure galena has been found in this new on no 10 which means that the bunker hill will add new laurels to her crown of greatness and which places her on a sound basis for many years to come drifting has been going on for months past from the large shaft sunk from the no 9 level and prospecting has been under steady process in the search for the continuance of the mammoth ore shoot on the no 9 level the shoot was cut exactly where the management had figured it should be and the present showing is fully coming up to the expectations of the management for size and richness of ore the work of opening up this new ore body will be pushed ahead rapidly and the mining world will probably be compelled to stand aghast when the ore body has been fully explored and its enormous value revealed the finding of this long looked for ore body demonstrates clearly that the ore shoot that made the mine so famous of late years does not pinch out with increased depth but on the contrary even becomes greater and richer as the workings go down on it the famous march body of ore was proven for over feet in length and feet in width with shipping ore clean for the cars standing over thirty feet in width many thought that the bunker hill would be through when it exha exhausted uste d the ore in this great shoot but this idea has been entirely expelled in the opening up of this other great shoot far below the ore body of the march above state mine inspector robert N bell in his annual report states in reference to the great march ore body ore body now worth the great development lies leg between the 2000 foot foat horizon in the vein and the ore body now exposed has an approximate gross value of of with definite prospects that the work now in progress from the kellogg level which cuts it at feet in the dip of the vein will treble that estimate |
