Todny quartz imnre-tiati-d with chloride and bromide ot silver sil-ver was exposed in the main lissute, an apparently ei.ric'hed area of thin ore about lour f-M-t wldt: being opened uo by th-d nis'ht shift. ampleti of this rich strike are now being be-ing assayed and estimates run from seventy-five to 4 1 ounces in silver content on pl Ited speeimend from the face. The ore Is white brecdated quartz, stained with green and yellow silver salts, with narrow streak: of high-grade argentiferous argentifer-ous lead carbonates passing through the cleavage planes. Steady shipments ore going forward to the Salt Lake smelters, three cars being on t he road and a further car is now r.Hng loaded at tiie railroad platform. Contractor lave Mathews has two teams busy between t ho mine and the depot and is contemplating tho addition of still further transportation should the Salt Lake railroad commence the promised construction of better facilities for loading load-ing the or:S into the railroad cars at the Pioche depot. Recent samplings of the extensive mineralized min-eralized urea adjacent to the 2n0-foot incline; in-cline; shaft indicates the possibility that with a reasonable amount of sorting the ent iru n re a can bo shipped. The high price ot' stiver, which is the principal v;i Ine in the ore seems to justify this procedure, which would of course necessitate necessi-tate the installation of increased hoisting facilities and extra binnage at the shaft. 1 Mans re. at present being formulated with this end In view, and should tho present sat Isfactory values persist with further development, sufficient tonnage should be readily available to mofe than Justify this important Ftep. |
