Show TAR BABY SHOWING ' STEADILY IMPROVES Indications for Encountering of Objective Objec-tive Are Reported as Highly Favorable. Returning from a trip to the property prop-erty to the Tar Baby Mining company, located in the South fork of Big Cottonwood Cot-tonwood canyon, President and General Manager C. R. Greene says that the latest showing in the main tunnel, now in about 1000 feet in Victor ground, is so highly encouraging as to lead to the conclusion that the objective ore body is not far distant. For a considerable distance the miners have been driving through a porphyry-dyke, porphyry-dyke, but within the last few feet the formation has grown much softer, decomposed de-composed vein matter being noted' in abundance, with the further favorable indication of a greatly increased volume of water. This tunnel, which is being driven in a southeasterly direction, is now very close to the Tar Baby ground, and at the present time gives a vertical depth of about 450 feet. In this ground of the Tar Baby company ore in pay quality qual-ity and quantity has been opened above, and the reaching of tho objective at this depth will afford oppotunity for virtually vir-tually unlimited development work. Manager Greene was accompnniod on his last trip to the property by Vice President J. Martin Matsen, whg is favorably fa-vorably impressed with the existing conditions. |
