BETTER SHOWING ON COTIIOOD KING Breast of Tunnel Is Softer and Spotted With Carbonate Car-bonate Ore." Bunches of carbonate ore are showing in the breast of the main tunnel being: driven on the Cottonwood King- "Mining company's property, located In the Big Cottonwood district, according to President Presi-dent S. A. Parry, who has returned from a trip of inspection to the property. He was accompanied by F. Metz. The main tunnel is now in a distance of 1400 feet, according to President Parry, and may reach the intersection of the Silver King vein and the Queen Eess vein at any time. The tunnel is being driven along the Queen Bess vein. It will cut the Silver King vein at a depth of about 700 feet on tiie vertical from the surface. The tunnel is being driven practically due east. The vein filling is composed of dolomite limestone, lime-stone, streaks of talc, all of which Is mixed with quartzite and bunches of carbonate ore. The formation ia much softer than it has been recently. The management is planning on starting start-ing work in the near future in the lower tunnel that will develop Ihe twenty-eight claims owned outright by the Cottonwood King company. This tunnel is now in a distance of about BOO feet, according to President Parry, and it will prospect three well-defined fissures that traverse the property. The formation cut by the fissures fis-sures is limestone in contact with the quartzite, and picked samples taken from shallow workings on Ihe property gave returns high hi gold, silver and copper.
