Pitts Advanced New Position With Chief Drill Holes Open New Ore In Chief o Entirely new method of prospecting is attracting wide attention; diamond drill locates ore body in Gemini. Mining men of the state are taking quite a lively Interest In the new method of prospecting which the Chief Consolidated people are trying out and which promises to be a wonderful help In the search for ore In all limestone mines. This system, which In brief is a plan to make ordinary machine drills put In longer holes thus learning where the values are before driving the usual headings, will undoubtedly mean much for the Chief. Even in tbe experimental work considerable new ore haa been found and when a bunch of these drills can be turnn ed over .to the lessees under arrangement that la being worked ont lt will mean the speedy development of the mine and the uncovering pt a vaat amount of new ore. In addition to furnishing lessees with machines and the extension ateel, which in reality la the only new feature, the Chief people wilt pay a certain amount per foot on the drill holes thus stimulating the work as a good machine man will doubtleas be able to prospect his block of ground without much expense to himself. During the past week or two diamond drilling has been the meaas ot opening an entirely new ore body In the Gemini mine, one of the properties of the Chief Cons' company. The ore Is some dlslanco from the older channels and the drill core shows excellent values. Officials of the mine look upon the discovery as the most important uno since they acquired the Gemini and it should not be long until this new .strike In- In- - other ramps.
