Show STRIKE AT BRIG HAM. A Good Find of Ore la 15111 Lew is Canon North of the City-Other Mines In That Vicinity. The Brigham Sttgier says: "Another strike has been made this week in the mountain.-north mountain.-north of town. This is in Bill Lewis canon, two and a half miles north of here. Thomas Youugfjuist is the tinder. He was out in the hills and ran across the tine looking ledge, which he was not long in locating. The ore very much resembles that taken from the Surprise and Grand View mines, which arc situated about a mile to the south but en the same mountain. "Work on the tunnel of the Bowdcn-Snow mines east of ton n is stopped by a cave, which has almost tilled the entrance. This is the place where silver ore was struck while digging for water a few weeks ago. The gentlemen arc now at work construct ing a reservoir on the, hill Immediately above the old tunnel, in tho proposed excavation ex-cavation they will be obliged to attain con. siderable depth and hope to strike the soft, chalk-like ore before they get through with the hole. "George Barton was down from the Alton mine on Wednesday. He reports the prospects pros-pects unusually tine. The vein of galena, charged with silver, is getting broader and better every day. Tho tunnel is now in twenty-live feet. The galena vein, almost a foot in width, is found in a limestone which is almost a hard as flint. There is no doubt but that the vein is sure and lasting last-ing and will hold out. The work of level men! is slow, but very satisfactory, hotwlth-standing." |
