Show Ore Extraction I Resumed At Big I Pacific Mine BIG VEIN SAID TO CONTAIN $2,500,000 ABOVE TUNNED LEVEL. I Supt. Carl Ferlin, Sunday completed taking up the old stool in the Pacific mine and replacing it with lG-pound rails. The slinrp corners have been taken out of the drifts. The track is now so oven that the cars are pushed in with ease and the muckers can ride coming out. The company now has four mine cars with which to extract ore, two of which have ball bearing wheels. Men wore put to work break-, ins down the high grade copier cop-ier dance rock, samples of which assayed as high as 512 ninces in silver and 215 per cut copper. There is said to c over $100,000 of ore in this tope and when returns from tcome in from the smellers it jW expected to create a mild onsntion in mining circles. B One authority writing for a nit Lake paper stales that the ig vein has been opened for a istnnee of 500 feet north, that B lias 200 feet of backs, and I will average 20 feet in width. Tho mill ore is said to average $10 per ton, all of which if true would give tho mill oro alone exposed a value of over $2,500-000, $2,500-000, and this takes no account of the high grade shules in tho vein. At any- rale from now on the extraction of ore will proceed rapidly and prospecting on tho big fissure will be continued so that more oro bodies will be opened up. For tho present there will be nothing done below be-low the tunnel level. |
