chute v-on tho 1200foot level having been accomplished F ac-complished the management of the Sliver Sli-ver King at Park City is now engaged in opening up a body = which shows per ton as much as 352 per cent copper 3S in gold and 610 ounces silver with the lead values running to dizziest heights Of the serIes of sensational develop 9 ments that have characterized the career ca-reer ora bonanza that Is admittedly peerless In Its class none afford more powerful demonstration of the possibilities possi-bilities of which the depths at Park City arc capable In material ways tho latent disclosure In the proposition differs from all that have antedated it and while the metals that have made It confessedly the sovereign oC all silver lead propositions continue to assert as-sert their presence in astonishing astonish-ing quantity in the newest of I the Silver Kings developments they are unexpectedly forced to divide their former prestige and share the prominence with copper and gold In such quantities as to appear positively r astounding That gold values have always al-ways afforded an item by no means insignificant In-significant In the output of the Silver I King hus been long known but that It I should suddenly attain a prominence that threatens the position long occupied l occu-pied by silver and lead Is a condition I upon the 1200foot level for which the management was scarce prepared I Even Superintendent M J Daly who has for so long commanded the forces under ground confesses his astonishment astonish-ment for while he as Manager Kearns has been most forcibly Impressed Im-pressed with the constant Increase in auriferous values as new levels were established at greater depth the advance ad-vance to 38 per ton is a revelation for which he was hardly prepared Their valuation was derived from no picked sample On the contrary it is derived from the entire breast of ore exposed in the latest development THE REAL FEATURE But the prominence with which the red metal asserts Its presence is per hnpi the real feature of the Silver Kings now strike Indeed nothing In I recent developments at tho Park has I so aroused the student of those diggings dig-gings It has not appeared In bunches On the other hand It Is as pronounced In Its occurrence an are any of the attendant at-tendant metals and is intended nppar ently to figure as conspicuously in the 1 future

been produced by the I DalyWest I In 1S90 and the steady Increase in the percentage of copper as greater depth has boon attained until It bag become 1 y no ITCMIS on unimpor tant unit In the earnings of that bonanza bonan-za This Is all true out there Is nothing noth-ing in the chronology of the Doly W ot nor In that of any of Its neighbors Silver King cxccpted to shots opper Insuch percentages and In apparently such fixed position That the Daly West however will at greater depth encounter copper ores corresponding In grade Is not at all unlikely but the distinction dis-tinction thus far appears to havc been earned exclusively by the Silver King As to the form In which the red metal occurs In the lattcrs new strike upon the 1200foot level experienced miners and some who have served an I apprenticeship In the great copper mines of Montana differ In the absence ab-sence of analysis It has been classified as copper glance arsenical and anti monlal copper and while not pronounced pro-nounced there arc qualities that suggest sug-gest chalcopyrlte However the red metal Is answoring rollcall along with I the others on the 1200foot level and the form in which occurs Is not of so much Interest to the management Just now ns the matter permanency SILVER AND LEAD While the people the Park are exulting ex-ulting over Ijie phenomenal showing of copper at the SilVer IClng the white metal cannot bp overlooked but In the new ore body stands out with a proms nonce just ns interesting Picked samples sam-ples suggest thousands of ounces of silver I sil-ver per ton while an average on Friday Fri-day showed more than t 600 ounces Nor has thin omnfprcsciit lead absorbed ab-sorbed Itself hIt the now strike nor be caus of the prominence with which I gold silver tail I copper have appeared IOn I I-On the contrary it is still visible In great cubes and In preponderance con I vtinues tb allarnatc wfth thr associate metals n Its general average in the mass Is indrCd au gratifying as It has been throughout the history of the property whl6 selected pieces are capable ca-pable of almost any percentage VOLUME OF ORE To compute the volume of ore opposed I op-posed in the new strike it would be difficult dif-ficult at this time although Superintendent Superin-tendent Daly turning from the splendid splen-did exhibit remarked that It added at least five ycary to the life of the mine at its present tonnage What it adds to the wealth of the ore bodies in the lightof the Increased values of the ore upon the level In question he was not bold enough to hazard an estimate Above thelevel the management has now followed the new ore body to an elevation of twenty feet and that It continues to a connection with bodies above there is no reasonable doubt Indeed In-deed the strike Is vJcrtecl ns the most momentous perhaps that has been made In the Silver King and cannot but stimulate interest in the zone at Park City ns a whole With It there Is no telling how many years will be required re-quired to mine the ores already blocked out No sloping Is I done to k depth greater than four feet below the 000 foot level and this confined to sub sldlary ore chutes that radiate from the main In this way the reserves have IJPCII steadily Increased and at the present output many many years must be required to exhaust what la now insight In-sight On lop underground scenes of splendid activity are presented Ihcso days At the surface a steady volume of ore Is pouring Into the big mill while a train of wagons Is plying between the bonanza and the loading station upon the I Rio Grande Western The foundation founda-tion for the new sampler Is being con strutted of solid masonry while in a few days active work upon the tramway tram-way over which the output Us lo be passed ti distance of 7000 feet to the railway will begin Indeed nothing that can add lo economic mining Is being be-ing omitted and Manager Kearns and Superintendent Daly are each to be congratulated upon the simplicity to which every thing yhas been and is being be-ing further reduced |
