While only a small force has been engaged en-gaged at the property of the Miller Mine Development company, which is working on the original Miller property on Miller hill, in American Fork canyon, (leorge H. Ryan, vice president and general manager man-ager of the company, said yesterday that the force would be increased Just as soon as spring permitted the raking in of additional ad-ditional equipment and supplies. The company holds seven claims, all pa tented, including the Miller ground, which, prior to 1SS0, produced about $1.-500,000, $1.-500,000, a nd la ter, under the Tyng lease, another $1,000,000. As the whole district has so far produced about ?4,50o,noO, it is not difficult to see the rela live importance im-portance of the ground held by the Miller Mine Development company.

There is a large area of virgin ground to develop and the history his-tory of the past has shown the average values of the ore in lead, silver and gold to exceed $60 per ton. Relative to the formation and the geological geo-logical conditions, Manager -Ryan yesterday yester-day said: The ore In the Miller Is ft replacement replace-ment of limestone along the northeast-southwest fissures Htid is a partially par-tially oxidized ore, carrying values in lead, silver and gold. These fissures fis-sures all show some movement and the oro occurs as a replacement of the brecclatcd lime where the northeast north-east fissures intersect the east-west break, and the ore body follows a stratum of blue -gray coarse lime.i which, on account of some chemical or physical property, is peculiarly favorable fa-vorable to ore deposition. This is characteristic of most of the replacement bodies in limestone and particularly so of the Cotton wood -A rnerican Fork districts. It is the downward extension of the mineralized mineral-ized fissures whjch the company plans to develop by following them into the underlying quartzite. The officers of the company are: John H. L.eavell, president; George II. Ryan, vice president and general manager; H. W. Ra gland, secrel n ry-tren surer; and these, with M. R Kirk and U. 1). Foreman, Fore-man, constitute the directorate. |
