Hammoth Ore Bodies. The special edition recently issued by the Bingham Bulletin contained a very interesting article on the geology and Mineralization of the West Mountain district, written by Mr. A. F. Holden, owner of the Old Jordan and Galena. The Review quotes below a portion of the article that will serve to convey to the public an idea of the enormous size of the ore bodies of this district: As to the depth to which mineralization continues, we have to show a section from the top of hill, the discovery point of the Old Telegraph mine, dowrn to the 1500-folevel of the Brooklyn, a total distance of over 2500 feet. Throughout that entire distance the mineralization is continuous, and throughout that entire distance marketable ore has been taken. Further, there is ore going below level of the Brooklyn in the 1500-foot ot large quantities. Taken as a whole there has been no diminution of mineralization for this entire distance, nor has there been any indication of any change in the character or grade of the ore since the sulphide zone was reached. There can be no reasonable doubt that the present grade of ore will be found in undiminished quantity as far down as miners find it possible to work. Few people realize the enormous ore that is exquantity of low-gra- de posed in the bedded veins. side are connected together, said hinges consisting of screw threaded eyebolts ispivoted to one of the flanges, extending List of patents relating to mining, sued May 12, 1896.

The Old vein, as the largest lime zone is called, is a wider vein Jordan-Telegrap- h than the famous Anaconda of Butte. There are stopes in this vein still open that are twice as thick as any stope ever opened in Leadville, Colo. The fissures, too, show a strength of mineralization second only to the famous Ontario and Daly fissure. There are levels nearly a mile in length on one of the fissures in this camp, that shows marketable , ore for practically the entire distance. drill-cylind- er, Tre-vask- ore-reveivi- ng The gold exporters are again knocking the props from under the gold reserve.

This was a famous placer camp in the sixties, and is again becoming noted for its rich quartz veins. Mr. Hill writes that the people are rushing in, although the snow is still five feet deep at Florence. |
