Show BUREAU OF MINES STARTS DRILLING CAMPAIGN HERE A U. S. Bureau of Mines drilling drill-ing crew, under direction of Jim Townsend, moved into the Milford mining district early in the week and "set up shop" at the old Vicksburg mine to begin a development program that may become an extensive operation opera-tion if first tests are satisfactory. With a preliminary crew of four men, the machinery for core drilling is being set up a few hundred yards north (uphill) from the main Vicksburg shaft. How extensive the development program will be, reliable sources indicated, depends entirely on showings of the first few holes, and on available funds to continue con-tinue the work. |
