Show AT CROWN POINT. Good News for Salt Lake Interests in tho Nevada Mine. A letter from Superintendent llealy of tho Tonopah Crown Point, says that a rich strike wjas mado a half-mllo north of tho Crown Point, in Identically the same formation as that of tho vein cn the latter. This was good news to the owners of tho Crown Point, as It shows that the rich vein already uncovered near tho surface Is continuous and grows richer with depth. The tunnel on the Crown Point Is being driven toward the vein, and while It was estimated that It would take until the first of tho year to reach it, the Indications arc such that It may; bo encountered at any time, This tunnel will tap an ore-bearing channel which was opened In tho original workings, work-ings, Its metallic contents showing a valuation val-uation of ?S0, or better, per ton. With tho outlook Superintendent Hcaly, v. ho was for so long associated with Capt. De La Mar In a similar capacity. Is very much pleased. |
