Brown, the consulting engineer of the Columbus-Rexall Mining company, returned late yesterday yes-terday afternoon from a trip of inspection inspec-tion of this Little Cottonwood property. Manager Evans said last night that the strike, which has evidently been the cause of the sudden doubling of the price of the stock on the local exchange, was in the bedding, 666 fee in the main tunnel. tun-nel. The ore carries lead, gold and silver, sil-ver, and the showing is now a little more than three feet wide, but the extent of the body cannot be determined until further exploration is made. Mr. Evans said that assays would be made today, but until the official figures were received he was not willing to say .more than express the belief that the ore was apparently of good shipping grade. Among mining men who learned 1 yesterday yes-terday afternoon of the strike in t he property the opinion was expressed that a big body of pay ore would be opened at this level without much difficulty, inasmuch in-asmuch as the preliminary work has mostly been done and the mineralization of the ground already proved. |
