Show II NEW STOCKTON MINE. Scsults Show What Hard Work Can j Accomplish in a Mine. Visitors to the property at Stockton of tho Now Stockton company ami tlicy 1 1 are; very numerous at this Interesting pcjrlod of the mine's history are unanimous unani-mous In their expressions of surprise and i catlafactlon over tho excellent conditions j prevailing In this Infrequently mentioned ! property. The ICathcrino vein, which has provided no small amount of shipping . ' ' "re from tho very surfnee to tho depths f where tho sulphides have entered, Is exhibiting ex-hibiting with depth proportions that lead ' ihe visitor to tho realization that thi3 vein would make a mine In itself, i ( Tho change from tho carbonates to ; j the sulphides In tho New Stockton began l to be marked at the 700-foot level. When j tho vein was reached on the SoO-foot j level a clean breast of ore from six to ; f eight feet In width was encountered, and r ( un upraise to the 700-foot level exposed ; the samo character of high-grade ore for ' hc entire distance. In order to learn i! vomething more of the extent of this ji J! - ( srent sulphide deposit, a drift was run i I! along its side for ninety-three feet, cx-, cx-, ' posing for this whole distance about . the same character of ore. A winze from ! the SoO-foot level, In the sulphides has ' been started, and a crosscut Is being 1 pushed to Intersect It on the 1000-foot j level, thus practically blocking out another an-other 150-foot Ktope of even larger di-j, di-j, mansions than tho other. 'i Over to the west of the shaft on the j 700-foot level a fair-sized shoot, chiefly ; carbonates, was opened, and on the S50-j S50-j foot level this ore has changed almost i entirely lo sulphides. The richer part j' was found to be about four feet across ' (! the face and thirty-five feet along the j ' strike of the vein. This means 3500 tons j i of oro averaging about $700 per car net. I ' Tbo most Interesting developments, how-Si how-Si iver. are yet to come, the management r ' pushing their work In several different directions on the 1000-foot level to open i up several shoots of oro. Upon the at-! at-! , lainment of this object, the New Stock-1, Stock-1, I ton will be in shopo to present to tho f I "isitor one of the most striking lllustra-I lllustra-I ' t tions of what hard work done quietly and ' against great odds can accomplish In a J mice., |
