iTIOl ORES 60 TO RECORD DEPTHS Operators Prom Camp State That This Mine Is the Big Exception. High-grade gold ore Is characteristic of Nevada, out as a rule It has nevor gone to depth, but In tho National mine it has gone to depth and gives promise of going still deeper. G. N. McEIravy, for a long lime employed by the National company, and William floss of the sumo camp, are In the city, and both staled to The Tribune yesterday that tho high-grade high-grade ore In going to tho S60-foot level had descended to the grculcst depth they had over known such rock to go. Both believe that tho National camp will make a steady and deep producer for many years to come. McEIravy states that he has boxed for shipment chunks of enormously rich gold ore. weighing anywhere from 120 to 1R0 pounds, and ho has boxed for the company com-pany gold bars weighing equally as much, not onco In a while but regularly. These visitors brought good news for the local stockholders of the Utah National Na-tional Uovelopmenl company, which Is sinking to catch tho same ledgo near tho main point of Interest. The shaft Is down sixty feet, and the last change In formation was to tho black dike which has served as the covering for Ihe main Nntlonal ores. This Utah organization hns purchased the old hoisting equipment of the National company and It Is the lucky hoist with which tho National millions mil-lions have been brought to the surface.
