Show M110IH NOT A W0IE0-0UT 11 Older Section of Territory Slill Has Chance to Produce Ores. ' A casual reading of the Mammoth Mining Min-ing company's report to stockholders, given in theso columns Saturday morning, morn-ing, has created tho Impression In tho minds of several that the company depends de-pends on tho older section of the ground owned by It. This especially la tho case from the torm, "deteriorated oro bodies," used In the report. But tliat such an Impression Is erroneous, and one not Intended In-tended to bo created by tho report, Is tho statement to Tho Tribuno Saturday by ono closo to tho company. Ho said that tho Mammoth h5id developed devel-oped ore to as great a depth as has been reached so far, or to the 2260-foot level, and this ore, while much Is of low-grado low-grado copper variety. Is not entirely disappointing. dis-appointing. Thero Is considerable work going forward at depth, especially on tho 2100 level, to reach tho point where tho Centonnial-Euroka lodo Is thought to be, In tho older sections of tho property, as well as tho two or three drifts working work-ing their way Into the Don Pedro and other now claims. "Nothing could bo further from the truth," ho says, "than the Impression that tha Mammoth must give up honi for rich ores In the old ground. With the equipment repaired, you will find the management sending miners back to depth, where good results aro due." |
