"We have decided to handle our shipping ship-ping ore off the hill on a tram," explained ex-plained Manager Alvin J. Smith of the Greenback Copper company, operating at Leadore, Idaho, after several days' conference con-ference during the last week with directors di-rectors of this corporation in Salt Lake. "The appurtenances for the tram are ail ready for it and as soon as the cable we have just purchased arrives at the mine it will be quickly placed in position for service. This improvement will enable the company to make continuous shipments to the smelters." Mr. Smith added: The quality of the ore in the Greenback Green-back vein, which is eighteen feet wide, is showing much better In all respects with the greater depth made. Throughout the three feet of this ; width from which our shipments are i being taken the greater values are ; appearing In chalcocite. chalcopyrite and cuprite forms. These formations give promise of enduring until considerable con-siderable depth may have been attained, at-tained, and present indications are that we have many thousand tons of these ores susceptible of very profitable profita-ble shipment in our upper areas. The values of ores thrown into the shipping ship-ping bin range from 9 to 14 per cent in the red metal. The first two cars shinnpd frnm this nronrtv vlolrlpd T am told, 14 and 16 per cent, resepctive-ly, resepctive-ly, and increased depth is disclosing a greater amount of the higher grades, so that It is expected our future shipping ship-ping grade will run about li per cent quite consistently. |
