Show In From Grand Gulch. Thos. Jennings, Pres. of the Grand Gulch Mining Co., returned from the mine yesterday. Mr. Jennings measured measur-ed the distance between St. George and the mine with an odometer and found it to be exactly 70 miles. Work at the mine is progressing very nicely says Mr. Jennings. The new double compartment shaft is finished, and is 110 feet deep; each compartment shaft is four feet square, which will enable 30 tons of ore to be taken out each shift of 10 hours. Drifting is now being done at the mine, no ore being taken out at present. Some small stratas of ore has been encountered and the main body is likely to be dropped on at any time. Mr. Jennings intends leaving for Salt Lake City tomorrow. |
