| Show RICH ORE FROM EUREKA HILL reporter eureka utah without doubt the richest carload of orb that has been sent out from tintic gintic in some time was a 32 ton lot which was taken from the lease of mat newman on the level of the eureka hill mine this ore was sent out to the smelter on tuesday and if reports are true it was worth a small fortune it is impossible to learn at this time just how much money the car of ore will bring but there is every reason to believe that it will be good for or perhaps after the railroad and smelter charges are paid the values are principally in silver and in some of the pieces of ore the horn hom silver could be cut like native copper after a round of holes had been put in to break the ore down there were usually a few pieces of the ore in the face that would be loose in every way except that they would be held in position by stringers of silver when asked for a statement regarding the value orthis of this car of ore superintendent charlie baker said that he was not prepared I 1 to give out any information along this line he admitted that the ore was sensationally rich and that every precaution possible had been taken to ensure its prompt delivery at the smelter the ore was not shipped out in an open car as is usually the custom in tintic gintic but was loaded into a box car which had been strengthened by the nailing of heavy cleats inside the doors it is stated upon good authority that picked samples carried as high as ounces in silver ilver s in order to reach the ore body from which this carload of ore was taken it was necessary for mr newman to remove in the neighborhood of tons of waste the old had not been worked for thirty five years and after it had been abandoned it was used as a depository for waste and this accounts for the ore having remained undisturbed all these years it is hard to say with any degree of certainty just how much of this rich ore there is in mr newmans lease but there is no question but what another shipment or two like the one which went out this week will put hini him on easy street |
