Show WOIII ST DEPTH : EN SEVEWTRDUGHS Ore Shoot Widens With Development De-velopment and Yields Good Values in Gold. The finding of high-grade gold ore In the proporty of the Sovcn TroughB Coalition Coali-tion company at n greater depth than has over beon attained before In the mine la very encouraging to the local stockholders stock-holders of the company. R- J. Evans, president of tho local stock exchange, Is In receipt of favorable reports from the property, which contain tho Information that excellent progress Is being made In the development at depth. At the lowest point of development It Is reported that there Is exposed a rich vein a foot In width. As tho oro shoot Is penetrated It spreads out rapidly to the north and south, and camples, chler-ly chler-ly In gold values, give returns of front $500 to $1000. This showing is said to glvo every Indication of a repetition of the hlgh-grado conditions that existed on the upper levels In the early stages of development. Tho mine management Is apparently of tho opinion that the deposits de-posits will bo of much larger proportions at this new depth. This ore shoot was picked up at the bottom of tho forty-flvo-foot winze sunk from tho Intermediate lovel to the tenth level. This oro has been followed In the east drift, and the development is under adverse conditions. This has resulted In rnther alow progress being made, which will bo overcome when moro room Is obtained ob-tained In the now territory and new connections aro mado. Under theso con ditions the output has been small, but the management Is moro anxious to learn tho extent of the deposits thun to make a largo production for the moment. The management wrltqs as follows: "Several hundred foot had boon driven In tho search for tho ore body, and Its existence was evidenced only by mere pin point campling, and considerable fruitless prospecting was done before the truo enrichment was finally located, and the ground had to be carefully felt out and proven bofoto measures could be taken for elaborate work. "Having established boyond question tho exlstenco of this apparently oxton-eIvo oxton-eIvo area of high-grade ores, stops will bo Immediately taken to eliminate the present crudo methods and get Into the oro zono from all directions without do-lay do-lay and at a reasonable coat" |
