Show DUE EXTENSION lOWilll ORE Sensational Strike Made in Crosscut Extended From 50 Foot Station. Another sensation developed in the Divide Di-vide district Sunday morning, when three : feet of solid ore was uncovered in the crosscut being extended from the fifty- ! foot station of the Divide Extension . mine, ! ax cord ins to tho Tonopah Daily t Times, through the Caldwell shaft, that shows values averaging better than $1000 a ton, gold and silver about equally di- vided. j The men at "work were agreeably sur- prised after they had fired the round of holes to discover this wonderfully rich ore body, and they hastened to Tonopah to inform the management of the good news. They brought with them samples of the ore, and assays confirmed the belief be-lief that the product was rich and that the discovery was one of great promise. The Divide Extension management is prosecuting a feverish campaign of development devel-opment at the Caldwell shaft. Mine buildings are being rushed to completion, machinery has been delivered on the ground, and within a few days it is hoped to bring the hoist into commission. The trestle and ore bins will bo finished shortly short-ly and at that time shipments will be started, the product probably being con- , signed to the MacNamara mill. As a result of this discovery becoming known, the management of the Dividend . has speeded up developments at the new-shaft new-shaft that was started only a short dls- ! tance away. A splendid looking body of j ore is exposed, and it is confidently ex- i pec ted that the ore shoot will be found extending downward the same as has occurred oc-curred on the Divide Extension. Divide is spreading Us wings and many mines are in tho making. Discoveries should be a frequent occurrence during the next few weeks, numerous shafts being be-ing sunk to a point whore important finds should be m&de. |
