Show UNDERGROUND ORE FROM O K MILLED BY METAL PRODUCERS Ore from the underground mining has been started thru the Metal Producers Mill, west of Milford, it was announced today by A. M. Bealer, general manager of the Penn-Utah Mining Min-ing Co., who have been operating operat-ing the O K mine since the spring of 1948. The major part of the OFe being be-ing milled is from the old dump, Mr. Bealer said, but a "sizeable run" of higher grade ore from underground has been milled. Ore previously mined from underground un-derground had been shipped as high grade direct to the smelter at Garfield, Mr. Bealer said. A large tonnage of low grade ore has been developed in the mine, Mr. Bealer sa;id, and it is expected that in the near future three or four mining crews will be put to work to produce this ore for milling. To date, since beginning work on the O K dump a few weeks ago, about 3650 tons of dump ore have been milled, with "very gratifying" recoveries. |
