Show nunc siDi SllPPIiZII ORE : Teams are hauling zinc ore from tho s TintJc Standard mine to the railroad, says the Eureka Reporter. This is the first zinc to be mined at this property and Su- ! ! perintendent John Westerdahl states that ; it was taken from the 1200 level where 1 there is a very fair showing of this character char-acter of ore. The work done in takinsf out this shipment, however, shows that ' the zinc ore deposit is making below the ; p:00 level and for that reason the management man-agement will postpone the shipment oi this class of ore until a later date and go after the lead ore which can be mined without putting the workings down to greater deoth. The shipment of zinc ore which will leave the mine within the next few day3 will contain about thirty-rive tons, tho ore cany ing better than 30 per cent zinc. i This ore seems o come under the lead ore. Some lead ore Is now broken down at i the Tintic Standard and followiner tha Christmas shut-down Superintendent Westerdahl will keeD a couple of men busv mining this product on the 1200 level where drifts are being sent out towar-1 the east and west. Another piece of work will be rushed along as rapidly as pes-' pes-' slble on the 1000 level, where a drift is being sent toward the east. Mr. Westerdahl states that so far this month but one or two shifts have been lost on account of the bad air. Stormy weather always makes it difficult for tne , Tintic Standard people to keen the lower workings of the mine free from bad air. but the Mg fan is kept going day and night, blowing the pure air into the mine through a sixteen-inch pipe. Tnere na been some talk of driving a raise throng:! to the surface from one of the lower levels, lev-els, or sinking a new shaft, in order that ; the mine may be properly ventilated, but this will not be taken up until after tho ore bodies have been more thoroughly placed on a paying basis.
