Show news from the mines of tintic gintic district ore in dragon there can be no question now with reference to the continuity of the ore channel between the iron blossom and the dragon cons mine because t the ore body has been followed upon the leelok the iron blossom clear i through to the dragon line the dr artt ft reached the dragon pi today and the showing of ore is simply immense the entire drift be i i g in nice shipping ore which is un good for 25 per ton this means that within the next couple of weeks the dragon will commence the sh ement of ore it being the j intention of the management to mine this ore body through the lion blos som judging from appear ances the dragon should get about 2500 feet of this ii on blossom ore channel it is hai haid d to sa how large i the ore body is at the point where it i has been opened on the dragon ground but it is sate safe to say that it is sot not less than 30 feet in width the first work which was done through the iron blossom in the in terest of the dragon vi as upon the and chile v hile some good ore was found it did not show permanence and this resulted in the rushing of the drift in that direction the drift simply followed the ore the d being right to take tale it into the dragon and the thing that pleas i es the dragon people the most is the act fact that the ore body appears to be b ager and stronger than ever at the t dividing line between the two mines chich was reached last night the work is going on inside the dragon tamton terri tori today central makes strike on 1600 A few days ago an important strike was made upon the 1600 level of the grand central mine and a report from there today indi indicates cites that there is now a full face vf bt fhe the ore in the drift which is in ahk the southern thern section of the comi company lany s arvind and about 1000 feet from the shaft that the discovery will be one of the most im f of the j ear ata this mine I 1 is now certain the ore shows values in gold silver and copper amounting tb nearly 50 per ton the find is in new ground and this adds to its import ance but with the small amount of work which has already been done it is hard to get much of a line upon the dimensions of the ore body the grand central was upon the market this ipek week with ten carloads of ore 1 work at sioux cons mine I 1 after making making a connection between the level and the which had been sunk from the level above and doing some prospecting below the cave opened several months ago without encountering ore of a shipping grade the develop ment of that portion of the sioux cons mine has been discontinued for the present supt bupt W D loose has his en tire force at work upon ore which is exposed in various parts of the mine the showing upon the level is not discouraging by any means but when the ore was not found in the vicinity of the the manag management ment decided to discontinue this work until another campaign of prospecting can be mapped out the

according to supt bupt fred ott and the face of the drift is now thought to be within about 40 feet of the contact between the lime and the tho quartzite the drift is now in the blue lime with fairl bainy y good indications of ore while it is not generally known some work is also being done at the present time in behalf of the apex company from the 2117 level in the apex there is a raise up a distance of about 82 feet and at the present time a drift is being driven in a north easterly direction from this raise this is one due of the most pro promising 9 sections of the apex ground and the

condition this connection was made yesterday and this is not the only important piece of new news s from this property as a very nice body of ore has just been opened upon the level where here prospecting has been under way for sol some e 3 time advices from the mine 03 she show that the tile new oie ole body which is fully leet feet to the north of the other ore has already been followed for a distance of about ten feet the show ing has remained about the same for the past two days and at this time the ore body has a width of about five feet the oie is of a good ship ping grade carrying fi aiom om 1 to 4 in gold 8 to 10 ounces in silver gilver and about 10 per cent copper shipping ore from 1200 level A portion of tl e present output from the victoria is coming from the 1209

which there is now a splendid showing of ore of a ship ping grade work vi ill be continued on the main level as the drift has not yet reached a point beyond the bi big 15 body of quartz the ore on th the a 1200 level undoubtedly connects with that deposit which the management has been developing by a from the level above and the manner in which the ore is dipping makes it an abao lute cinch that there will be neaily four hundred teet feet of the ore betra the two points at an any other time the splendid im provement pro in the underground con editions would have I 1 exulted lesul ted in a sub advance in the price of ole ill stock upon the exclia exchange but under existing conditions tate the stock marke market is not much of a ahai bai ometer as nothing short of a sensational strike will make an any not ceable difference in the sell ing price of a mine s shares new work at gold chain I 1 upon the le el 01 of the gold chain property where development work has been going on for son e little time ethere there has been quite an improve ment in the showing during the past few days clays and unless all signs are mis leading another strike will soon be recorded upon the level the ore body is opening up bigger and better and the heavy tonnage now being sent out is hardly making a hole in the ore reserves of the mine A total of ten carloads of ore were sent out from thib this mine for the week just closed will try for ore at depth the ore body from which the beck beek tunnel is now shipping quite heavily gives promise of going to much great er depth and for that reason a drift has just been started toward it from the level of the old no I 1 workings of the mine about feet of work will take this drift to a point where the ore should be found providing pio plo viding the deposit extends to that depth and the management feels quite confident that the work which is now going ol 01 ing on n is pretty much on top of the ore body the showing of ore where it is being handled from the incline drift remains about the same copper OPP tr ore from iron blossom upon the level in ih the no I 1 workings of the iron blossom mine sills are now being put in preparatory to
