Show MIllB Till IE IBBI FISSURE Expected to Cut Body oi Hematite Ore Within Thirty Feet. Showing heavy mineralization and what engineers pronounce as streaks of horn, silver, specimens of the formation struck recently in the lower tunnel ot the McKinney Mining company, were brought to Salt Lake City yesterday and sent to a local assayer for analysis. The rock will be tested for gold, copper, lead aud silver values. Excellent progress is being made in driving the lower tunnel. Tiie property, which consists of a group of eight claims, is located on the western flank of the Wasatch range between be-tween Neff canyon and 'loicats canyon, about four miles' southeasterly from Hol-liday. Hol-liday. It is opened by a tunnel that has been driven on a bedded vein of carbonate car-bonate material filled with crushed quartzite. The crushed quartzite is heavily mineralized. The upper tunnel was driven a distance of seventy-six feet, after which work was suspended and a lower tunnel started. The lower tunnel has been driven in a southerly direction and is a crosscut tunnel. It is now in a distance of thirty-six thirty-six feet and has passed through about twenty feet of limestone shaft and has entered ajiighly silicified limestone formation for-mation impregnated with quartz. The objective of the lower tunnel is to cut the bedded deposit that the upper tunnel was driven on at a depth of about 375 feet from the surface, and within the next thirty feet the surveys indicate indi-cate that it will crosscut a ten-foot hody of hematite ore. One shift of three men is employed. The company is capitalized for 1.000,-000 1.000,-000 shares, par value 1 cent, and there are 400,000 shares in the treasury.
