Show J Wad ley Brothers Jtow Strike Ship Car Load of Silver Lend Ore "I'd Two Tons of flold Ore From New Slrlkc. Wadley Brothers this week shipped to the smelters another car load of about twenty-two tons of ore, making mak-ing the third ono slnco laBt fall from their leaBe on tho old Miller Hill mlno In American Fork canvon. An Important featuro of this shipment ship-ment was that It included 18 sackB or 5,400 pounds, of rock from a new striko of gold ore, the llrst strictly gold that has been found In the canyon can-yon for years. A hand samplo of what wbb thought to bo a fair average of tho new strike showed one nnd u quarter ounces In gold, over fifty per sont Iron but no lead of copper or silver. Tho total values Bhowcd that tho smelter pcoplo would pay n royalty on this class of ore, giving it a valuation of about $25 for tho gold and about $4 Tor tho Iron, or a tatal value of over $29 per ton. Sufficient work has been done to cxposo two car loads of It, and if tho 18 sacks sont in with this week's shipment, shows up as anticipated, work on getting get-ting out at least two moro car loads will bo resumed at once. A feature of this now striko Is that it is in virgin ground on tho west side of the hill, and may develop Into u big body, or It may grow richer with further exploration. Thoso convor. sant with tho history of tho camp In tho old Wyoming days, say that a good body of a similar kind of oro was taken out on tho orfposlto Bldo of thu hill, but that this oro averaccd soven ounces or $140 per toil. It Is Just possible thnt tho now striko may extend through tho hill to whore tho striko In tho early CO's was made. |
