Show Remarkable Bodies t)i' Ore Blocked Out in Pioclie Prop-evty; Prop-evty; Development at -Depth H Programme of Future. H The story of the acquisition by iIk- late Mr. W. S. Godbo of Salt Luke City of tae property owned by the Ohio-Ken-lucky Mining- company la hut another story of opportunity taken advantage of when it presented itself to n conscna-tlvo conscna-tlvo business man. Early In the '80s .Mr. Godbo went to Pioclie to examine and possibly purchase thc Bulllouville iniuG? Ho didn't purchase thc Bulllonville mine, but he did purchase the tailings pond be-low be-low that property and later on. with part of the money he made from these tailings, he purchased the mining prop-erty prop-erty of the .Raymond and Ely companj, and various other claims in thatlvlclnity. This company owns the Susan Duster, tho Alberta and the Alberta No. i', Look-out, Look-out, Monurch, The South, Eagle, West. Winter claims outright, with shaft houses and equipment, ou Pioclie nioun-tain, nioun-tain, and an undivided one-half Interest in the Greenback, tho Gold, thc Currency and thc Silver and Independent claims; also an undivided half Interest in the Plocho system of waterworks, tho only supply In that section. Stretching along-for along-for over 3000 feet, thoso claims follow the famous porphyry dyke, which is the ccn-tcr ccn-tcr and heart of tho district. On this dyko and covered by tho Independent claim is tho famous black ledgo which was opened up from tho Raymond and Ely property at thc 1200-foot level, and which, when drifted on for 300 feet, averaged fivo feet in width and assayed tM fifty ounces in silver, 15 per cent lead, 20 per cent zinc and $-1.50 in gold to tho ton. while the first class of ore runs IH from 100 to 200 ounces silver and -15 per cent lead . Abovo tho 1200-foot IcvoL no work has been done on this body, and as It continues to tho surface its value would rim Into tho millions. Tho reason these oro bodies wero not worked In- the early days was on account of tho lead and sulphides that thoy contained, these not bclncr fitted for the treatment by ama.1-gamatlon ama.1-gamatlon with quicksilver In use at that time. If there wore any of tho silver chloride ores present the enorgies of the jH companies were directed to mining that, as it offorcd no difficulty to the metal-lurglst metal-lurglst In extracting- the values. At th present time the Ohio-Kentucky com- jH pany Is working what is known as the Susan Duster group, which lies along-sldo along-sldo and Immediately south, of the Inde-pendent. Inde-pendent. It has u 400-foot lncllno shaft with levels at every hundred feot, which IH have opened a tremendous body of high- ' grado oro of unknown length and with the H present width of thirty feet Each level VH of the mine Is connected with a winze. .IH which has been sunk through the ore, ilH and at the present timo thero is blocked out and ready for extraction over 400,000 ;H tons of ore. iH The Ohio-Kentucky oro is a complex ,H sulphide, containing twenty ounces of sll- :H ver, 7 por cent lead, $2.50 gold, 20 per iH cent sdna and 30 per cent silica. The H geology of the Susan Duster consists of H threo formations, lime, shale and quarlz- H Itc. All of tho early mines of the district IH made their best oro In thc quartzitc. and !H It is tho intention of tho Susan Duster to iiH reach tho' deep as eoon as possible. il Samuol Kewhouso is president of the IH company. E. L. Godbo is vice-president ll und A. H. Godbo secratnry and treasurer, ll and those, with J. L. Hackolt of Louis- iH vlllo, Ky and George "Woddcll of Eng- lM land, comprise the directorate. iH |
