Show mm STANDARD SHAFT TO BE flip FINISHED TODAY big job of sinking is practical ly completed down to the 1300 foot level will cut sta tion 1250 feet below surface over in the eastern end of the tin tic district a new working shaft has been sunk to a depth of 1300 feet tor for the use of tl ti e tintic gintic standard mining milling company this big under taking was wag started several monti ago and today it Is r radically coin com pleated the job of sinking was handled under contract and it is es i timatea that the shaft cost the corn com pany in the neighborhood ot of 26 it ie to by far the deepest shaft on that side of the district and meana much to the gintic tintic ti t standard standa d in the first place it will give the compa ompa company s mine much better ventilation ventilation aion 11 awl at in the second place it will ebia V abl blythe tf the corn com pany parly to extract the drey e duch lie uch more rapidly and with much h Ss expense e elpe rise tl TI e standard r bol people are now operating at a depth of about 1250 teet feet but tl e ore is handled two or three times before it reaches the surface as the old working shaft Is down only a part of that distance today or tomorrow the tile contract ors will the 1300 level with wit the shaft and immediately thereafter they will come back up to the 1250 level and cut a station from which point a drift will be sent over into the old workings of the mine from which the present shipments are coming the tile work of making this connection will probably take alloth er month or six weeks and then the tintic gintic standard will be in shape for or more extensive ore production not only has the ore body located in in the old workings of the mine de into an immense bonanza but new ore was cut by the new shaft the ore which was ered in n the shaft is of course a con of the big deposit from which the company has been ship ping tor for many months but the sec see ond discovery means much to the company because it adds a few bus bun dred fi tet fiet t et to the known dimensions of the ore body and it if the ore con finues for that distance there are many reasons to believe that the de posit Is like other ore channels cha n nels of this district being many hundreds and perhaps thousands of teet feet in length just at this time the tintic gintic stan dard a greatest difficulty is hauling tie if e or 01 e to the railroad some time has been lost on account of the bad air in the lower workings of the pro perty but tl if is is a matter that will soon be cleared up by the connection between the old workings and the new shaft i |
