Show iRGHGEBUBE HAS IHIE ORE President H. Pembroke Returns Re-turns From Inspection of Recent Strike. High-grade palena oro has been struck on the Morgan-Argentine Mining company's property, located on Durst mountain in the Argenta mining district' dis-trict' of Morgan county, forty-three miles from Salt Lake, accordiug to President H. Pembroke. He has returned re-turned from a trip of inspection of the recent strike. He said yesterday that the work being done at present had demonstrated to his satisfaction the apparent ap-parent continuous mineralization and that from now on ore would be extracted ex-tracted for shipment. In discussing the property he said: In all probability, if the history of the failures in mining were studied, it would be found that those failures were due in the greater number of cases to not "following the ore, ".as the miners say. That has -without doubt been the cause of the numerous delays we have experienced in the last sixteen six-teen years that we have been working the property. Unquestionably the same methods that we followed have been followed fol-lowed .by other companies on many properties throughout the westorn country. The known commercial ore has been neglected for the ambitious am-bitious scheme of running a long tunnel to develop an ore body I might say to develop a gqtologic possibilityalways pos-sibilityalways with ther idea that the tunnel would cut the ore at diepth and thus give economical mining and transportation. This has generally halted operations due to the lack of funds, and generally the property has been abandoned. Recently on the Morgan-Argentine property we . observed a small streak of clean galena in the old shaft sunk some forty years ago by the former owners. Even after we had bought the property we continued to drive the tunnel, but recently miners were started to following the ore in the shaft, with the result that a strong fissure has been opened and the ore is showing stronger than ever. Both on the 'dip and strike of the fissure increasing in-creasing quantities of galena ore are being found. We believe the turning point has been reached and will confine the work hereafter to taking out the ore until sufficient funds have been raised to drive the tunnel. This will only be driven, however, after the ore body haa been developed to a point where the driving is justified. |
