Show ONTARIO WILL SINK TO 210-FOOT LEVEL Crosscut Started From Anchor Tunnel to Connect Con-nect Daly West. Within the next six weeks the Ontario On-tario will gink on the ore on the 1700 level, and will in all probability follow the ore clown to the 2000 level. It will be remembered that at the time of the cave of the shaft, work was being prosecuted on -the 2000, where vast t'uantities of milling ore were exposed. Since the cave the ground below the 1700 is in such bad shape it is next to impossible to go through it, and it lias been abandoned. A decision has been reached to sink on the ore as above stated. The winze or shaft will be started at a point 700 feet from the .shaft. The ore on the 2000 was about that distance from the shaft, so it is reasonable to suppose sup-pose that it Is the continuation of the body now being worked on tne 1700 and that the new winze will he In ore all tile way down. So favorable are conditions condi-tions at the Ontario, and so bright is Its future and so healthy is the treasury, a 40 or 50-cent dividend will likelv be 'declared 'de-clared before the first of July. This work was commenced on the crosscut in the Anchor tunnel to connect con-nect with the Daly West shaft. Something Some-thing over 1000 feet will have to be run to make this connection. This crosscut will cut the shaft at a vertical depth of nearly 750 feet. It .will greatly facilitate development work, and will furnish an easy outlet for the milling ores to be worked at' the Judge mill, eliminating a great expense and avoiding all future water trouble, which was always an expensive ex-pensive problem at the Daly West mill. George D. Blood came 'up from Salt Lake Tuesday morning and visited the properties with which he is connected. Rapid work is being made on both drifts of the Park-Utah toward the known ore bodies, and at the Judge the usual satisfactory satis-factory conditions exist. News from the Nelson Queen over in the Elkhorn district, in the eastern section sec-tion of Park City, is of a decidedly encouraging en-couraging nature, and every indication is that a steady producer Is going to result. re-sult. Much ore has been uncovered, and, according to Manager Jinks Nelson, considerable con-siderable good grade ore is now only awaiting good roads.-to be marketed. Reports from the Nalldriver continue encouraging. Ore is being raised and marketed right along and the physical condition of the mine is improving. Leaser Fisher I? now driving a crosscut on the 700 to cut the ore body that was found on the 900. and with the cutting of the same, which seems a certainty, the stock should have an upward tendency. ten-dency. The Nalldriver is a mine if the company would only awaken and systematically sys-tematically open it up. Superintendent Harry Lee of the King Consolidated was a visitor to the metropolis the first of the week. Second-class ore Is just a little shy these days at this property, but the first-class is plentiful as ever, and work is being prosecuted on the King Consolidated holdings hold-ings that will sooner or later take the big property "over the top," when the stock will soar and the stockholders -rejoice. Superintendent Lee is doing great work these days and good results are certain. Jim Bryne and LaPage Raddon were visitors at the Iowa-Copper last Sunday and were more than pleased with conditions. condi-tions. Because of the bad roads no attempt at-tempt is made to mine the ore exposed, and all work is being done in the shaft, which is now down 186 feet from the tunnel tun-nel level. Week before last a three-foot bedding of fairly good ore was penetrated by this shaft, and this week another bedding bed-ding was cut of higher grade ore, but the thickness of same has not yet been determined. As depth is acquired, better are the conditions, and one of these mornings the Iowa Copper is going to jump into fame. Park Record. |
