Show KB COO ILL IS DOING NICELY Superintendent Lee Says Adjustment Process Goes On Satisfactorily. Harry A. Lee, assistant manager of the Silver King Consolidated Mining company com-pany and superintendent at the recently completed new mill at the Park City property, is down from the camp for a day or two, having been busily engaged for the last few daya in getting the plant into running order. Mr. Lee said yesterday yester-day that while the mill was now handling han-dling about 150 tons of ore a day, the process of adjust merit had not yet been completed and would not bo finished for some time, adding, however, that so far I he results attained had been as satisfactory satis-factory as could reasonably be expected. In the treatment of the ore, said Mr. l-ee, there are really six different handlings, han-dlings, and owing to the chaotic condition of the zinc market there Is some uncertainty uncer-tainty au to what saving of zinc will afford af-ford the best margin of profit. Mr. Iee added that In his opinion there was now developed a good tonnage of ores for the plant. Solon BpirO, president of the company, who has just returned from an Inspection of both the mill and the mine developments, develop-ments, said that Mr. Lee had developed a gratifying ore showing on three different differ-ent levels of the CaHfornia-Comstork ground, the 200, 2F0 and 300-foot levels, and that, while It was too early yet to I make positive statements as to the magnitude mag-nitude of these disclosures, they were pleasing In that they proved ore In parts of the mine where It had not previously been developed. Good progress, said Mr. Spiro. is being made on the big tunnel, which Is now In 8500 feet, and on which two shifts are now making eleven feet per day. The breast of the tunnel Is now 1300 feet In vertical depth, and there arc Indications of ore at any shift. |
