Show BUffi. OF 0P, II LOlRMiWH Conditions More Encouraging Encourag-ing Than They Have Been for Several Months. Over at the Lower Mammoth mine conditions are said to be more encouraging encour-aging than they have been iu several months and Superintendent Price is now following small bunches of ore on three of the mine's levels the 1100, loUu and ItSUO, savs the Eurelia Reporter. Repor-ter. From the present outlook the mine should be able to maintain ap output out-put of about a couple of earloads a month. This week Air. Price billed out a carload of lead-silver ore that he mined from the 1 100. The ore should carrv about 18 ounces in silver and 10 per 'cent lead. Other work is going I ou farther to the south ou the 1100 level and from time to tinio some encouraging en-couraging assavs are secured. This piece of development work is especially attractive at-tractive owing to the fact that it is new territory, far removed from the older topes "of the mine. Sonie ore is now exposed on both the 1500 and 1S00 and while the deposits are bv no means large, there seems to be a "splendid possibility of getting larger bodies of ore if- this work continues. con-tinues. Local shareholders in the Lower Mammoth property are well pleased with the present campaign of development develop-ment work and the very economical manner in which this .prospecting is being be-ing handled. Thev have great confidence confi-dence in the company 's mineral ground and are quite sure that the mine will soon be back among the heavy shippers ship-pers of Tintic. Bad Air in Tintic Standard. John iWiesterdahl, superintendent at the Tintie Standard property, states that he has drifted on the ore on the 1100 level for a distance of twelve feet and that the deposit is still a little better than two feet in -width. The work has been progressing slowly during dur-ing the past week, bad air interfering interfer-ing with the work, "out the drift will be carried forward more rapidly in the future. Within the next week or two the Tintic Standard will probably be on the market with another carload of ore, the second since the ore was encountered en-countered some time ago. - In the north crosscut on th 1000 level some ore is now coming In and this piete of development work is second sec-ond onlv in importance to the opening open-ing of the ore on the 1100 level. Gus Boetsch, the North Tintic prospector, pros-pector, was in town this week, and states that things are moving along in nice shape in the Scranton section. In addition to tho work which is being doqe on the Scranton there is also considerable prospecting on neighboring neighbor-ing properties, among them the Tintic Zinc and Scranton Lehi. Both theso companies are iu line for the same ore bodv that has been developed iu the Scranton and in the Tintic Zinc the showing is very promising. Working at Godiva. Active development work is now in progress at the Godiva Mining company com-pany 's property, upon which A. J. Fair-bairn Fair-bairn and associates recently secured a lease. Early in the week the main shaft was carefully examined and new timbers put in place wherever they were needed, and it will be but a very short time until drifting is taken up on the 1200 level. The Fairbairn Leasing company have control of the entire mine and that portion of the property that they, are not ready to develop at this time will probably" "be sublet to other parties. |
