| Show I RICH GROUP OF MINING PROPERTIES The York and Dana properties arc most advantageously located near the top of the York hill adjoining the Highland Boy and the Highland Boy Consolidated or Purnell group They are old producers of silverlead and copper ores the York having produced the most which amounts to something near 200OCO Development work has been pushed on tho lower levels with the Intention of opening the ore chutes that have produced good quantities of ore down to the 300foot level The lower levels are being opened up through a series of tunnels from the Petro incline In the Petro property adjoining A few shipments of firstclass ore have been made the past year The Agnes Dana and York properties are all to bo worked the coming year through tho York tunnel and It is I tho plan of the management of these prop erlles to spend from 25000 to 50000 la development work which It Is believed will block out avery large tonnage of ore The copper ore will average from 0 to S per cent with occasional bunches that will run ui lo 12 or 15 per cent TholcnlrorcMs I fgood shipping grade averaging about 50 per cent lead l andS and-S ounces of sliver per Ion The York vein runs from two to twelve feet thick The Dana llssure on the Charles A Dana claim adjoining the Yorjq Jsthe largest and richest < fissure vein in the vicinity The systematic sinking and drifting on this vein would open up tho different big Hmo contacts on tho hill below among which are the Parncll Yampa and Highland Boy contacts and the date of the location of the claim being be-ing among the first In the district gives It special advantages The owners feel confident that they will succeed In opening up a large amount of ore the coming year The York property Is controlled by local people J J Comm Is president and Fir F-ir Orem secretary of the company The Dana and Agnes claims are owned by the Copperlleld company of Boston J W Home 63 Trcmont street Is secretary sec-retary VESPASIAN AND HOOGLEY The Vespasian and Hoogley group of claims ns Its name implies Is a consolidation con-solidation of the old Vespasian group of claims with that of the Hoogley group niaklng In all about seventy acres The former has a good production produc-tion record for leadsilver ores The ores of the latter are carbonate in character and carry high values In all verk some of the shipments running up to over 100 ounces per ton the gold values associated with it being from Sfi to 40 1 rhe Vespasian vein Is a lime contact con-tact bedded vein and the Hoogley vein Is a wellmineralized cross fissure A large amount of money has been taken cut of the latter property by leasers In fact almost every foot of the vein produces some ore Development work during the last year has been confined chiefly to running a long tunnel to open up the Vespasian and Hoogley veins at their Intersections This tunnel will give several hundred feet of sloping ground on the ore chutes The last few feet has disclosed small partIcles of galena ga-lena Indicating that the tunnel has almost al-most reahed the vein The Vespasian vein being a large lime contact carry Ing large bodies of lowgrade ore and the Hoogley being a wellmineralized fissure carrying highgrade ores The management confidently expects to open up a good body of shipping ore la this tunnel Further development work has bern done In the Vespasian by dratlng frjm the bottom of an incline near the mouth of the old tunnel Some considerable ore has been blocked outline average contents of the ore being about 20 percent per-cent lead 15 ounces silver 20 per cent zinc and 52 gold The management expects ex-pects to spend a large amount of money on this property during the coming year and feel confident some large ore bodies will be opened up 7 J Corum of Salt Lake City Is president and F 31 Orem of this city Is secretary of the company REDWING I The Redwing group consists of eleven claims located near the mouth of Markham Mark-ham gulch In Bingham canyon All of these claims are patented with tbe exception ex-ception of throe and there are few properties In the district on which the surface showings look so promising as those on tbe Redwing In the past history his-tory of the property something like one half million dollars has been taken out and as yet no work to amount to anything any-thing has been done below these surface workings In fact some of the best ore bodies that have been found in the property have been followed from grassroots grass-roots down to one hundred feet This work was mostly done by leasers In the search for carbonate near the surface I and when the sulphide zOlle was reached operations were stopped on account ac-count of lack of smelting factilities The Redwing Gold Mining company which now OWIIS the property has been doing more or less development work for the last three or four years the entire en-tire production amounting to something near 100000 during this time The last year work has been confined chiefly to the upper levels on what is known as the Silver Hill claim About 2000 feet of tunnels wln7es and stopes have been made and about 10000 worth of oro marketed At the present time there is disclosed In the mine a large body of milling ore the average assays of which show now about 1G per cent lead S8 ounces silver 2 per cent copper and SO cents gold per ton The ore chute runs from two to ten feet In thickness ond It is estimated that the mine can easily produce from what Is now In sight from 2500 to 3000 tons of this class of ore Something over 100000 tons of firstclass ore have been marketed during the past year the net profits from which were between 15 and 20 per ton Some firstclass ore Is now being taken out The shipments ship-ments of firstclass J ore have amounted to about two cars per month during the year The advantageous location I oc the Redwing group being but a very short distance from the railroad and the quantity of ore in sight gives tho Redwing property a very promising outlook for the future and when the company shall have rebuilt their min which was lost by l fire a year age the earnings from this property should be sufficient to put it on a permanentpay ing basis The directors of the company arc rH Curtis J J Corum J W Kid well and W C Orem of Salt Lake Clty andrThomas Bryant Thomas y wolfo and A Anderson Nebraska Agreat deal of development work has been planned for the new year and tho management confidently expects to make the ore production double what it has been for 1900 J |
