Show EAGLE'S NEST TO THE FRONT. FaTfvicw, Nevada, March 30th. '& The crosscut of the Eagle's Nest vein liit the hanging-wall today. The vein proves to be twenty-six feet wide. A conservative sample has been taken across the entire twenty-six feet, including in-cluding ledge filling, low grade, medium med-ium grade, high grade and all, and the average values obtained arc $32 per ton. Over six feet of the ore will ship. Assays from selected rock go into the thousands. Sorting of the ore on the dump has been comenced and sacking begun for early shipment. The ore being hoisted o the surface sur-face shows that much leeching has taken place and also discloses the picsence of sulphur. Mining experts who have examined the property today to-day declare that when the sulphide zone is reached, the values will be found to be infinitely higher. As it is, if the values disclosed at the present pres-ent level, thirty-five feet, of over $32 per ton for the entire tewnty-six feet bi the vein, do not increase a farthing p.t depth, the mine will still class as cue of the greatest milling propositions proposi-tions in the State. Angus McAuly, superintendent of the Eagle's Nest, r.nnounccd today that he would start sinking on the vein immediately to gain more depth. All work is now centered in Hie No. I u shaft. In the No. 1 shaft, only 100 1 feet away, eight feet of this vein, mostly shipping ore, was opened up ever "six weeks ago The pitch and trend of the vein and the formation indicated that on the spot where the I No. 2 shaft is now being sunk the' vein would prove to be wider, and 1 development work thus far proves that" this theory was correct. It is 4p rjiparent that from 400 feet to 600 feet of this vein penetrates Eagle's Ncsi g: ound and that the vein continues On through Hailstone ground for an ' equal or greater distance. All Fair- 1 view is agog over the strike. During the pst forty-eight hours upwards of 200 visitors have been shown through the workings of the Eagle's Nest and ' Hailstone by Superintendent Mc Auly. I Assays of what was supposed to be ! the' hanging wall of the Eagle's Nest ? vein gave returns of $41 per ton. As j a result" crosscutting the vein has been continued What was supposed I to be the hanging wall was not the hanging wall at all, but a hard quartz and part of the vein. |
