Show HIGH-GHADE ORE CUT 01 TIE ALTA TIGER Miners Encounter New Body in Lower Workings of Mine. About eighteen inches of high-grade silver-lead-copper ore has been struck in the Alta Tiger property, located in the Little Cottonwood district and practically prac-tically surrounded by the Wasatch mines territory. The ore bedy was opened up at a depth of about 600 feet from the surface, according to a letter received at the local offices of the company yesterday from H. W. Hammond, Ham-mond, in charge " of the development work. Mr. Hammond says in thp letter that at present ore is being broken for shipment. Considerable difficulty is being experienced at present .by ship- Eers in securing the necessary teams to aul ore. Following the strike on the Alta Tiger ground the management of that company increased the working force. In the upper workings of the property prop-erty good ore showings were encountered en-countered recently. In order to secure greater depth on these deposits the Alta Tiger company secured a right-of-way to work through the Highland Chief tunnel, and for weeks past a force of miners have been engaged in clearing the debris from the old tunnel and re timbering it in places. At a point where the Highland Chief owners had mined ore up to the side lines of the Alta Tiger property a stringer of high-grade ore was encountered. en-countered. This was drifted on with the result that it has opened about eighteen inches of the high-grade 'ore. With each round of shots the ore body is showing improvement. |
