Show EMMA CBiaiOATED IS GROWING BETTER J. J. Beeson Says Company Is Solving Transportation Transporta-tion Problem. J. J. Beeson of the Emma Consolidated Consoli-dated Mines company, who is now on the ground at Alta assisting in the direction di-rection of operations at the mines, in a telephone message to local mining men last night said that the increased number num-ber of teams for the hauling of ore and tho bonus which the company is offering offer-ing for steady service was fast solving the problem of transportation from the mine to Wasatch. Fourteen eats of ore have been shipped up to date and the management is making every effort to complete arrangements ar-rangements which will permit the shipment ship-ment of at least forty tons of are daily. It is stated that the development in the ore body during the last week has added materially to the tonnage of ore in sight. Number three stope drift has been driven along the border of the ore body until it has intersected the end of number two stope drift. At the intersection inter-section a raise is up eight feet and still in good ore. This raise will be continued con-tinued vertically until it has reached the boundary of- the ore body, then it will be turned and follow the hanging wall and will be driven up the inclination inclina-tion of the ore body toward number one raise. Number two raise, which is being be-ing driven to connect with number one raise, seventy-five feet away, is now about half way to its destination and is in ore assaying more than 100 ounces silver. Number one raise has been driven about ninety feet and within the nest week should connect with the 100-foot level, when it will afford excellent ventilation ven-tilation and increase the efficiency of the workmen by taking away the powder pow-der smoke and gas which is now difficult diffi-cult to drive out of the workings. TVhen number one and number two raises are completed the ore body will be developed devel-oped sufficiently that stoping and mining min-ing of the ore can be started on a large scale. |
