Show I Big Ore Bodies ; i Silver Shield Shareholders Return From Mines Very Enthusiastic Over the Con- . dition Underground. I . Thnt the management ol! the Sliver J Shield of Bingham Is not reporting dally 1 nt the valley furnaces with an ore of 1 good quality from thnt source, accord- ! Jug-to those- who explored It on Sunday. Is that the- unruly flow of water now gushing from Its big ledgo prohibits. For over fifty feet tho channel has now been opened up along Its strike, while It is - positively known to exist on each sido of this stretch. Exposed In the main body of oro Is from thirty Inches to four t feet of first-class oro that will afford an i avcrngo of 530 per ton. its metallic con tents consisting of lead and silver, gold and copper; while In addition to this Is a nass. of first-class milling oro, the real extont of which Is yet to be determined. To reduce this Is a simple and Inexpen sive task, and, while the company Itself It-self is not equipped for It, It has access to a plant in tho canyon that has handled han-dled with much success similar ores from neighboring properties. In tho opinion of a mining engineer vho accompanied Sunday's visitors through the property, thcro Is no longer any doubt of tho Shield's development into n steady producer, pro-ducer, while tho only thing now retarding retard-ing tho extraction of first-class ore Is tho How of water. However, tho ledge is draining rapidly, and the Shield's management man-agement feels that in the future tho rjiino may bo made to supply tho means with which to pay Its own bills. The effort has boon a persovcrlng one, and In lta success mining circles generally will rejoice. |
