Show COPPER AT PARK CITY. . Eight feet of copper-bearing ore was discovered this week in an old shaft on the estate of the Nelson queen company, com-pany, at Park City. It carries 9.8 per cent in the red metal, also 4 ounces silver sil-ver and s trace of gold. On account of this new source of wealth his company has unexpectedly found, and also because the entire property prop-erty looks good for the stockholders, Manager WDkins is feeling quite jubi- The new shaft ia down to the 200-foot level, and he intends to go after this newly discovered vein from the 200 foot station as soon as the same shall be cut. The shaft is 500 feet east of the old workings. Under the established conditions prevailing throughout the Park City district, the ore just found should be a great deal richer at 200 feet where disclosed in the old. shaft, therefore there-fore the company may have a genuino bonanza when it is tapped by the crosscut cross-cut projected from the shaft. The outcrop out-crop of the ledge on the surface carries car-ries 2.3 per cent copper. The work is being greatly expedited by the new hoist which was recently installed, and a new shafthousc is being be-ing erected over the same as fast as possible, so that winter weather will not interrupt proceedings in the least. |
