Show LITTLE BELL SHAFT NEARING COMPLETION Since Little Bell was listed on the stock exchange ten days ago buyers and sellers have been unable to get together to-gether on the price, it being not unusual un-usual to see a difference of $2.50 between be-tween the price bid and that offered. In view of this It will be of unusual Interest Inter-est to the talent and the public generally gener-ally to know the actual conditions at that property. Manager Solon Splro, who has Just returned from the mine, has this to say: "The shaft is now down 475 feet and within two weeks, barring unforeseen delays we will have reached the 600 level, at which we intend to drift for the eiri which was encountered at the 300-foot level. The nature of the formation At the 300 level convinced us that the ore body was below us, and that is the reason we decided to sink to 600 feet before drifting. At that depth we will make systematic improvements before we begin to drift for the ore body and it will probably be a month before we are prepared for drifting. The ore encountered is rich in lead.-silver and gold, and the vein exposed at the 300 level was thirty-five feet wide. |
