Show BOOTH PROPERTY IS AT INTERESTING POINT j The Booth has cut a strong vein on the 500-foot level In the progress of the new work at this depth. Whethor this ' Is the main Booth vein, -which was explored ex-plored for some distance on the 350-foot lovel and which yielded Borne highly "encouraging "en-couraging assays at this depth, tho management man-agement la not prepared as yet to state positively, but It Is said that quartz of oxcellent appearance has been penetrated pene-trated for a considerable distance and the presence of a strong flow of water is accepted aB an indication that a. continuous con-tinuous vein of largo proportions has been entered, says the Goldfield Tribune. A crosscut was driven from the shaft, which was recently deepened to 525 feet, tho work being conducted on the 500-fool 500-fool level. Tho vein was penetrated at about the point indicated by the dip as shown on the level above and the vein was penetrated, it Is reported, diagonally and the crosscut Is being extended to determine de-termine the full width of the ledge before be-fore starting to drift. This ground Is regarded as holding great possibilities for making a productive pro-ductive mine, as it is in line with the trend of the vein system of the Red Top property of the Goldfield Consolidated and covers a portion of the Columbia Mountain fault channel. It is said that alasklte has been penetrated by the Booth shaft and It is known that some of the workings, even at a depth of only 250 feet, have exposed the shale, the basic formations being nearer the surface sur-face here than nearer the center of the district. Quartz of good appearance and highly mineralized is being thrown on the dump at present and there are strong hopes of finding an ore-shoot of value near the point where the work is now In progress", |
