Show BULLION DISCOVERS N LOSHI BOO! Promising Showing-s Reported Re-ported at Other Good Springs Properties. lnirini; the past few months some very interesting development work has been yoin' on at the Bullion mine. ome months apro the main ore hotlies were cut by a fault, and sinee then the man- -jseinent has been working with the object ob-ject of locating the continuation of the ore bodies. H is thought hy Consulting Knitineer K. L. Talbot of Salt ake City, who is, on the ground, that the mystery ,as been solved. Mr. Talbot, like most mining engineers, dislikes any undue publicity pub-licity until all his slatemenls can be sub-Mantiated. sub-Mantiated. but Is prepared to sav that the present outlook ot the Bullion mine is very encouraging. The new ore bodies, which are in reality a continuation of the old, have not been penetrated suflieiently us yet to determine their extent. Some distance to the southwest of the present workings there is a generous out-croppinif out-croppinif which looks encouraging enough to warrant some development. There are len men at the mine, with Superintendent Superintend-ent J. B. Phelps in charge. Vount of los Angeles, vice presi-, presi-, J ot the Oro Amino Platino company, Jsited the property yesterday. He states timt the situation at the mine la most favorable. The new shaft will conned with the ore in another eight or ten feet and then it will be possible to discover dis-cover the extent of the ore body. The mine tunnel runs into the hill for several sev-eral hundred feet and then a shaft was sunk to a sub-level. After about tifty feet of work had been completed on the sub-level, a winze was sunk. This winze is now down some sixty feet and the last , 'orty feet are all in ore, high-grade copper. cop-per. To raise this ore as the workings t.nen stood meant that it must be loaded at the bottom of the winze, hoisted, unloaded, un-loaded, moved to the main shaft, loaded and hoisted again. To eliminate this extra work and expense ex-pense a new shaft has been sunk, which connects with the winze and which will make it possible to raise the ore with one handling". .Some unusually hard rock was eneoun-lered, eneoun-lered, which has delayed the work, but a few more days will see It completed. Two more carloads of maehinerv have heen received at Jean by the Hoosier Alining company and are heing hauled to the mine as fast as possible. When this is completed all the machinery for the mill will be on the ground. The blasting for the mill site has been nearly finished and construction work will begin next week. The jig was moved up Wednesday. The Boss is looking better than ever before in its history. There is an enormous enor-mous tonnage in sight and development work is opening up more right along. There are three cars of ore broken in the mine waiting to be hauled. This ore was broken down out of a stone large enough lo hold the postoffice building. The Ingomar keeps V. E.
