Show STANDARD II HEARS FISSURE Adit Driven to Cut Rich Shoot Within Few Feet of Objective. Tho tunnel which has been run for the past three moiius at the American Standard Stand-ard mine property 111 the Muncy creek dScrtet, NnMti to cpl at depth a fissure has reached lis oijecil. fro is expected ex-pected witnin the next twenty feet, ac-eoroing ac-eoroing to the White fine -News. If the promise of extensive mineralization at depth made by rich surface indications Is fulfilled, a rich ore body of sonsiuional value and size should be developed. To give an idea of the richness of the ore uncovered at this property on the surface. It Is oniy l.ei essary to copy some ot the assays made from several different piaccs wneie tlie ore lias been uncovered. Hix a.-says taken recently In as many dit-icrent dit-icrent piaiea gave me loi.owmg returns, and give some Idea of what may Be expected when the ore la cut by the tunnel: tun-nel: No. 1 assay Silver, J.I4.-I ounces, gold, K.30. No. - asjay Silver 345.-ounces, 345.-ounces, gold, U.TS, No. 3 assay SiUor. ounces; gOid, $4. No. 4 as-iay--Sli-ver, 7(01.6 ounces; gold. $3.56. No. 5 assay as-say Sliver, lO-ti.5 ounces, gold, $4.50. No. 6 assay bllv.-r. :;if6. ounces; go.d. $4.e6. A.l of the above samples might be termed picked samples, but wherever the ehioride and bromine are showing in tho vein rich returns are sure. Some forty years ago tho El Capltan, Just east of the American Standard, Is reported re-ported to hove produced hundreds of thousands of ounces of sliver In the form of high-grade brdniUlo and chloride ore found in the very gras roots. That the same voln. and possibly a richer and bigger big-ger deposit, la about to be opened on the American Standard Is more than evident. Those who have soen the ore declare It to be Identical, and this fact can well be established when one considers that the properties practically Join. The American t'tundard Is located In the northern part of the Muncy creek district dis-trict and some leu nill-s north of the famous Muncy Creok mine. Like the Mum y Creek mine, the American Standard also has some rich copper oro cropping on the surface, but It Is believed by tho management that the product of the mine will principally be silver. 'Howover. a high-grade copper-sllvor ore Is not unlikely, un-likely, as the Muncy Creek mine has this Very desirable product. A commendable thing about the' American Ameri-can Stands nl mine la tli.it the niiiiisge- 'Iment I nmicillii t ,-lv after makllie the dis cuvery of rich sliver ore, began the driving driv-ing of a tunnel to determine how fsr down this ore would go or If It was simply sim-ply a surface showing. Tho tunnel will give some 300 Vet of depth on tho vein, to that Its future can be assured If the ore In found In (ho t unnel and proves to be .as largo and tioh as It has been opened on tho purfst'e. Mr. Hall and his associates have re-rent re-rent ly nri.ulred some twenty claims In the neighborhood of the Amerlcnn Standard Stand-ard mine. It Is the Intention of tbOM Interested to begin development on other splendid showlnKS In the near future on these clulms. H Is said that four different dif-ferent well-defined veins carrying silver from the grass roots are cropping on tho new holdings. |
