Show NELSON QUEEN SHOWING. O. A. Palmer, engineer for Nelson Queen Consolidated, has filed his report of the Park City mine, showing an enviable en-viable condition of affairs. Underlying the property In generous proportions Is the enormous ore body extending for miles In all directions, and which has made the district one of the richest and most productive In the country. "Upon the Nelson Queen Consolidated ground there are two fissures," the report states. "These have a course nesrlv northeast, which outcrop holdlv. The outcrop of one can be Identified for fully S0O0 feet, and undoubtedly there are other oth-er fissures which will be found by further fur-ther crosscuttlng. "The double compartment shaft has been sunk to the 200-foot level, and a drift run from It about ninety feet to whst Is believed to be the lode. The shaft is well equipped to handle all the water that Is developed along this level. The equipment of this working In every way will permit the management to drive to the 700-foot level. "Between the shaft and the ramp Is a tunnel ran upon the same lode for a dis-tsnce dis-tsnce of 40O feet, a raise extends from this tunnel to the surface, and is wholly an ore chute. Other ore chutes undoubtedly undoubt-edly will be developed as the mine is opened to greater depths, and owing to the fact that the pitch of the chutes follows fol-lows the direction of the walls of the fissures. fis-sures. Its economical working becomes a simple matter. "The metals so far developed are gold, lead, copper, silver and Iron, and Judging Judg-ing from appearances the mine at depth will be a copper producer. The sedimentary sedimen-tary beds underlie the trachyte at some unknown depth and the strength of the fissure at the surfsce leads to the belief that It will be found extending down into in-to these underlying beds. "This being the case it Is only fair to presume, as in harmony with experience, that at its Intersection with the lime beds there msy be expected large ore bodies. Several assays taken show the following results: General sample from drift above tunnel. 8.60 ounces silver, $4 gold, 24 per cent lead and 2 per cent copper. From tunnel level where flrst chute was found. 3.4 ounces silver. $1.60 gold, trace of lead and 4 per cent copper. From ore dump at mouth of tunnel. 6.20 ounces silver, $1.60 gold and 7 per cent copper." |
