Show WASATCH 1IES 01E Smelter Settlement on Last Car Shows High Silver and Copper Content. Another car of ore sent out from tho Wasatch Mines company 's property, formerly known as the Columbus Consolidated Con-solidated and located in the Alta district, dis-trict, was settled for yesterday. It gave the following returns: Gold, .012, of an ounce; silver, 51.10 ounces; lead, 4.2 per cent; copper, 11.3 per cent, and zinc 8.2 per cent to the ton. The shipment ship-ment weighed about fifty-five tons. Tho ore was broken in the Xo. 2 stope off the llowland tunnel level in a drift that was driven to the east and, according to the local management, the. ore body is continuing strong and apparently ap-parently improving with each round that is shot. It has been opened for more than twenty feet along the strike and is about two' feet in thickness. The block of ground under lease to T. "VT. Blake continues to improve with development and the management is now more confident than ever that the long-lost Columbus oro shoot, from which a very heavy tonnage or high-grade high-grade ore was shipped, has been located. lo-cated. Mr. Blake is working above the tunnel level and about 200 feet westerly wester-ly from the Xu. 3 shaft. Tho ore lies in a contact between the quartzite and the soluble white lime formation. In the raise the ore averages aver-ages about three feet in width and the raise is now up more than thirty feet. In the drift the ore body continues as strong as when it was first encountered and has been opened up along the strike1 j for about thirty vfeet. j I In the Flagstaff tunnel and on a fis-! fis-! sure that is located about 1800 feet ! from the portal the company will also i start driving in a westerly direction. 'The drift will be driven approximately I j west and will have a depth of about 700 j feet from the surface. The objective j is the (juartzite-lime contact lying to the west, which, when reached, the com-i com-i pauy expects to produce an ore body, as there is a strong galena showing in the fissure where the drift will be started. At present there are fourteen men working work-ing in ore on the property. |
