Show SILVER ISLAND TO INCREASE OUTPUT Property Looks Very Promising and Creates Interest in tho District. Manager Murray King of tho Silver Island Coalition company reports that the second shipmont. of oro from the mine, in tho Silver Island district, netted tho company $2500, tho returns boing about tho same ns from the first shipment mado somo two weeks ago. Tho consignment consisted of thirty-Bovcn tons of ore. Mr. King states that whilo thoro aro no particularly par-ticularly new developments to report from tho property, ovcr3'thing is moving mov-ing along in good shape, and operations opera-tions at present consist largely 4 of blocking out oro for futuro production. It is tho intention of tho managemont to send out another four-horso outfit within tho noxt week or ten days, and it is expected that fnjm that timo on shipmonts will be mado about overy ten days. A. force of twenty men is employed em-ployed at the mine, and the product for tho next shipment, Mr. King savs. is practically all saclccd and ready lor hauling to tho smelter. As the weather in tho Silver Island country is never very severe, it is not expected that the "bad roads," which, arc detrimental to shipments in somo mining districts of tho stnto, will interfere with tho output. out-put. Mr. King states that tho first payment pay-ment of $10,000 has boon mado on the $50,000 bond under which a portion of tho company's ground is hold, and from present indications it is thought that no difficulty will ho experionced in mooting tho remainder of the obliga tion when tho timo comes. Other Work Planned. Mr. King sa3'8 that a number of mining min-ing men owning property in tho district aro contemplating tho 'development of their holdings, and oro long plans will probably be perfected whereby work will bo started on tho properties of the Old Glory and tho Silver Island Consolidated Con-solidated companies. Mcngor information has been received in tho city also concerning a new strike of silver lead oro in tho north end of tho district, whero prospectors have been engaged in locating mineralized territory for somo weeks -past. It is said that, as a result of this new discovery dis-covery tho miners in and about Silver Island aro quito excited, and that new claims aro being slaked out rapidly. |
