Show LUCKY SHE NUDE ST MI HE ECRE.KA, Dec. 16. In the Tintic district dis-trict recently a piece of development work in the Gold Chain mine resulted In the location of an excellent ore body, which some years ago a prospect drift had trussed bv scarcely more than a few inches. Notwithstanding the fact that this drift was driven right along the aide of the ore for some distance, there was not. the slightest indication of what was beyond the few inches of limestone which separated tho drift from the ore. The rich rock would no doubt have been allowed al-lowed to remain undisturbed for many more years had it not been for the fact that a stringer, visible on the level below, be-low, took the company's miners into the deposit. "When this was mined there was left only a thin wall separating the stope from the older workings of the property. That the Gold Chaln is netting a. nice sum of money oh the present output of ore is the opinion of loea I mining men, but in view of the fact that the company had a substantial overdraft some months ba.ck it will probably be some time before there is money enough on hand to make a dividend possible. Most of the ore Is now coming from the mine's iipijer levels above the 500 and the ore body from which tiie heaviest shipments are coming is apparently making off rather fla.t on the formation. The ore from the Gold Chain's deposits carries gold, silver and copper. |
