Two Bi Strikes in Utah Con. Fine Ore Bodies With High Percentages Percent-ages of Copper Respond to the Managements Researches. To the almost e.xhaustless resources of the Utah Copper company upon tho copper, cop-per, gold and .llver hearing zone at Bingham, Bing-ham, there was added during tho week two disclosures as Important perhaps ns any in tho history of developments within with-in thnt bonanza, and that tell with unerring un-erring einphaftl9 of tho presenco of or which compare In Its metallic contents with that which Is belnc mined at any of the most prominent of Western producers. Tho most ptrlkJng of these Is that Which hos occurred In a cross cut extending south from tho Alta utopei on tho No C level. At this point the ledgo has boon Oroaacut for ninety feet with the foot wall yet to he exposed, the ores for sixty Jet along this stretch maintaining an average, of 9 per cent In the red metal, with values In gold and silver materially above the average. While the log at thin leviathan reveals ore of aa good quality at Intervals In the operation of the prop- ortj the strength In which thej are occurring oc-curring at this time in the now dUclosure exceeds that of any prevloua one An equally instructive, lesson upon tho occurrence oc-currence of ore out of the ordinary In this property is on No. 6 level where a crosscut running north and deslgiiat.-l as the Abalt ha.- broken Into, after passing through fifty feet of Intercurring llmc-atone, llmc-atone, a distinct and Independent ore bearing channel, which show.s a width of twent) feet between walls nnd m which a stopo has been made showing a width of thirty feet tt short distance from tho crosscut This ore, uid tho management, Iihs maintained nn average of t" p r cent copper, with chaructc-rlstlo values in gold and idlver, and that it extends to th! r face is not nt all illogical On the contrary, con-trary, thin has been the rule, and if It Is not demonstrated that It does tho new one tapiM-d at a depth of feet below th. grass roots will bo tho exception at the I'tah Con. Of the bonanza can be sold that nt no tlrno since Its development develop-ment was begun has there been so treat a volume of ore exposed In Its working, nor h is it shown an average 90 gratifying ns that from which tho compan) is prying out Its dividends today.
