Show MINERALIZATION IN ALTA TUNNEL GROWS Physical conditions continue to Improve Im-prove at the property of the Alta Tunnel Tun-nel and Transportation company, and to indicate that one of the major veins is being approached, according to F. V. Bodfish, who returned from the mine Sunday. Sun-day. The drift, which is being driven along the contact between the shale and lime, on a generally southeast direction, is encountering rock that is constantly becoming more highly mineralized. Samples Sam-ples brought down from the 'mine show a considerable replacement of iron in the limestone. With an advance of another 100 to 125 feet, one of the major veins should be intersected, it is said. |
