Show VICTORIA WE TO INCHE T0I1GE Management Will Put on Night Shift When Re-pairs Re-pairs Are Completed Dne to the more satisfactory condition of the silver market a larger tonnage of ore will be, sent out from the Victoria, mine In the future and as soon as re pair work that Is now In progress Is completed the night shift Is to be put to work, says the Eureka Reporter He ports from the property Indicate that It Is looking better than at any time since early spring when two or three new strikes were made. On the 1000 foot level two machines are breaking ore in a large body carrying values in lead and silver and there Is a good showing on the level above. An the 12 000 foot le el is another good body of ore but it is necessary to handle It twice before it can be landed at the main working shaft. The facilities for handling the ore from the 1000 foot level make rapid and economical eco-nomical mining comparatively easy The record of the mine during August was much more satisfactory to the man agement than during June and July a better grade of ore being mined The management is looking forward to Sep tember being a good month The com pany is said to have reduced its overdraft over-draft about $9000 since the first of the year About the first of the year the Vic tor a wil probably commence sinking the ma n working shaft taking it from the 1200 to 1400 level Recent developments in the lower level of the mine as we 1 as In the neighboring property the Eagle and Blue Bell ind cate that some large ore deposits will be found below tbe 1000 foot le el In the Victoria Things are looking much better In the vicinity of the Scranton mine where con Mderable new work is now in progress At the Tintic Zinc property work is being aone in uie main lunnei anu tuaw in a ralie and in both places there is a strong mineralization with conditions about r ght for the ore to make. The Tintic Zinc has been in the iron formation for some little time and Newton Dunyon, who is d recting the work feels confident that he will be able to locate an exten !on of the old Scranton ore bodv In this property Work will also be taken up at an earl date n the Scranton Lehi prop ert which adjoins the Scranton mine on the north During the early part of the present week the scranton company resumed the shipment of lead ore and the mine will probably be a regular shipper In the ru ture Late last week the first connection was made between the Chief Con-olldated, and Eagle and Blue Bell workings a drift that was being sent out from the 1000 level of the former property breaking through into the 1300 level of the Eagle The connection should be of some bene fit in the ventilation of these mines, al hough, they were both n very good shape as far as fresh air was concerned before the connection was made the Eagle having been connected with the Centennial Eureka for some time and the Chief Consolidated ha ne a drift that reaches over to the Gemini workings |
