Show (Mining JVotej. Superintendent Charles Crismon of the Utah mine arrived from Fish Springs with further details de-tails regarding the rich strike reported from that property lately. A streak of high-grade ore was opened on the third level, from which samples were taken that assayed as high as five thousand ounces in silver. Four average specimens assayed G1.4 per cent lead and 2,946 ounces in silver. Careful sampling of the streak, from six inches to three feet in width showed values of 36 per cent lead and 610 ounces in silver. One car of ore just taken from the mine sampled 44.7 per cent lead and 110 ounces in silver. Since Mr. Crismon's arrival a letter was received re-ceived from Mr. Sutton, the mine foreman, advising ad-vising that a small chute of ore was encountered at the bottom of the north winze from the third level from which three tons of rich ore had been extracted. .? & JX Development on the Naildriver is going on without interruption and the shaft has now attained at-tained a depth of 270 feet. It is the intention of the company nk to the 600-foot level before be-fore any drif j crosscutting is done to explore ex-plore the ore bodies. Manager Rood says that progress is being made with machine drills at the rate of 125 feet per month and that the 600-foot 600-foot level will be reached sometime before the end of September. & & & Within the next few days the pumps will be in commission at Samuel Newhouse's Hannapah properties in Nevada and pumping from four to five thousand gallons every twenty-four hours.' With this water out of the way it is expected that development will be pushed with greater rapidity. t - & C & The Butler-Liberal company has made its first shipment to the Murray smelter of four cars of high-grade lead ore which carries some gold and silver. The consignment is the first to come from that property since the Ben Butler and the Liberal company decided to settle their difficulties difficul-ties by consolidating. Manager A. L.t Jacobs reports the mine in fine condition, and at present has a force of men engaged in making connections between the Ben Butler and Liberal ground. One of the crosscuts cross-cuts that was being run to that end disclosed a width of fifty feet in the vein, and while much of it is of a milling quality only, it can be concentrated con-centrated with but little expense. & & vJC "Work on the Lower Mammoth has been resumed re-sumed with a full force and crosscutting from the 1,200-foot level to the ledges is in progress. It is estimated that the last fissure will be reached in about seventy-five feet. Concerning the proposed consolidation with the Black Jack it was said that nothing would be done until the arrival of Mr. Knight from Canada, which is expected about the middle of this month. " f& 1& Mr. C. M. Neuhousen, president of the Mineral Hill Mining company, has returned from a visit to the company's property in the Park Valley district. The company is preparing to install a water power plant and to use power drills for future development. de-velopment. A good flow of water with from 160 to 200 feet fall in a short distance, is obtained right at the mine, and it is expected that 350 to 400 horsepower can be developed there with but little difficulty. This will supply all the power needed at the mine and leave a largo surplus, which can be transmitted to other properties. The development is under the direction of Lorenz Mayer, and the principal work is in the lower tunnel, tun-nel, which Is in 300 feet on the vein. The values 1 are copper, with some gold and silver, and although al-though there is enough ore in sight to keep a small mill running, nothing will be done in that direction until the mine Is more thoroughly developed. de-veloped. Three other tunnels are being run on the vein, which will thoroughly be prospected in every direction. |
