Show SANTAQUIN DISTRICT PRESENTS ANEW ORE FIND IN IRON JACK Another find has been reported from tbe Bantsquia district whijh ' is fast coming into prominence by tbe work being ddne by several properties but recently financed and which are rapidly coming to the front in the disclosures being made as the result of systematic syste-matic development.' David Phillips, an old time prospector, and John Klanni-gan Klanni-gan have been scouring around the Santa San-ta qui n hills for some time and the results re-sults of their efforts were brought to light this morning in assavs which show Ihst on the surface their find asaava 82.40 a ton, the vsluee being in gold with the exeeptioa of silver, which runs about one ounce a ton. Mr. Phillips reports that three quarts bearing fissures fis-sures cut through the lime and intersect in a big blowout, iron stained and considerably leached. On the surface it is hidden to some extent, but gouging out the vein for a few feet a sackful of the rock waa taken and brought to thia city for assay. Both of the prospectors pros-pectors wer .surprised -that ths values ran aa high aa they do and1 efforts will be made at once to develop tbe find. Tk. i . : . . i j . t . . if. in. uiaruverv IS lu Bantaquin district, in Mantaquin can-ron, can-ron, some distance south of the Ranta quia Chief, which is being developed by local capital. This district is one of the oldest iff the state and one of the easiest to reach, hut for some reason rea-son or other it haa been given but little attention untl recently, when several of the properties were opened- with fx-eellent fx-eellent results. The Kva, a producing mine, is not far distant and the Union rhlef is near the same locality. Both of the properties are regular shippers and are opening ore bodies. The Bantaquin Banta-quin Chief, Brownatone and many other prospects are in the near vicinity and with the amount of work which is being prosecuted at the present time, it looks as if ths Ssntaquin mining district will be a silver-lead producer of no inconsiderable incon-siderable importance. Messrs. Phillips and Flannigan are of the opinion that development will show the Assures stronger with depth and that as soon as the work is down below the leached none that other kinds of mineral should put in an appearance. Even should the same vslue hold, the product eould be marketed as it is but three miles from tho railroad and easy to reach. At a small expense a wagon road could be built to the And and the fissures opened up. Preparations are being made to develop the property at once and it will in all probability be known aa the Iron Jack. |
