Show IRON BLOSSOM OPENS BONANZA ORE 000! Remarkable Discovery Developed De-veloped on the 1200-foot Level of Mine. Special to The Tiibune. KUREKA, Sept. 30. What is considered con-sidered by mining men a3 one of the moat remarkable ore bodies ever opened up in the Iron Blossom property has been developed on the 1200-foot level of the mine, according to the management. manage-ment. The ore body has been drifted on for 100 feet and crosscut for 100 feet, all of which is through a shipping grade of copper ore, and at the present time a winze is being sunk through the ore body. This winze is now down close to the 1300-foot level and is still being sunk through ore of a shipping grade. Recently the Iron Blossom company was informed by the smelting company that it would receive 100 tons of sili-cious sili-cious ore daily, instead of twenty-five tons, as heretofore. Inasmuch as the Iron Blossom company has only been shipping this grade of ore at tfie rate oi twenty-five tons, and since the company com-pany has depended on the sale of this ore to a certain extent, the increased tonnage will add materially to the earnings. earn-ings. It is understood that the regular dividend divi-dend will be declared and that the company com-pany is now adding rapidly to its treasury. treas-ury. In order that the copper deposit developed on the 1200-foot level may be prospected at greater depth the company is drifting to cut the downward extension exten-sion of the pame ore body on the 1700-foot 1700-foot level. This drift should reach the northern section of the mine in the near future and open the copper ore at that depth, in case it extends down that far. In following the well-defined fissure some copper values have been found already and the work is being watched with considerable con-siderable interest. |
