Show -Mi QUiNCYJSTREKE Bedded Deposit Crosscut Is Twenty-two Feet and . " Values Improving. The strike made recently on the New ' . Quincy property, located in the Park : City district, continues to improve both jji values and in extent as the develop- ' merit work progresses, according to the ; "report marie yesterday by Peter Hnrring- '- ton, superintendent In charge of the de-" de-" velopment work, who has arrived in Salt ,ake from the properly. The new strike was inspect erl Mom lav niKht by R. E. ; -Miller of Murray ami W. O. Kay of Salt -:i.ke, both of whom returned from the property yesterday. The ore, which is making in a beddinK ' plane, haw been crosscut for a distance of twenty-two feet, ami the first carload of ore. weighing !M,uO pounds, ha been shipped. II is understood that from now on shipments will bo sent out at regular intervals. There is about ten feet of ore showing in the hreost. The ore was encountered in a raise about 233 feet above the 000-foot level of the Dftly West crosscut that pene-. pene-. . t rated about four years ago the then Thompson-Quhicy ground. From the top of this raise a drift wns driven along an ore-bearing tissure for a distance of about 500 feet, and, judged from Ihe present pres-ent development1; the management has reason to believe that the bedding in which the ore has "been struck is running along in a direction, practically parallel to the nOn-foot drift. The crosscut is now being driven in a northerly direction by the drift. Recently the strike lias been examined by engineers who are of the opinion that the development wHl result in the opening open-ing of an ore body of considerable importance. im-portance. They point out that its probable proba-ble extent will be along the 500-foot drift. ..This, however, can only be demonstrated, : they say, by the driving of additional crosscuts or by driving drifts through the ore body along its strike. They also point out that it is reasonable to "expect the discovery of other bedded ore deposits - both above the present one and below ft. Reports of the new strike made in the Kew Quincy mine of Park City were made yesterday afternoon at a directors' meeting meet-ing held in the company's offices in this city. Values of a general and average nature, according to figures telephoned from the mine at 6 o'clock last night, ran sixty- eight ounces in silver to the ion, while there is a six-inch streak at the bottom .' vf the crosscut which carries at least 17S ' - ounces in silver. Frank B. Cook was chosen as managing director of the mine, while Superintendent .Harrington was authorized to put on every ev-ery man that could be worked to advantage ad-vantage and to purchase such additional supplies and equipment as might be necessary nec-essary to carry forward the fastest possi- iie development.
