Show STRUCK SILVER AND LEAD. Tfao Gold Teak Mine lu Box Elder Canyon Can-yon flhowlnR up Sooner Than Eipucted. The Box Elder canyon mines have attracted unwonted attention the past week. Last Saturday, after we had gone to press, the miners employed in the big tunnel tun-nel on the Gold Peak claim brought down some samples of a new and very promising lead they had just struck. These samples show unmistakable un-mistakable signs of silver and lead. At least a score of men experienced in mining have been around to scrutinize the rock since Saturday, and without an exception they all ' pronounce it a fine indication, sil-1 sil-1 vcr and lead appearing all through the specimens. Samples have been sent down for assay, but up to this morning no returns have been made. Nothing has been heard from Gold Peak for a week, but as this fine rock was found at the first striking of the vein, it is expected a few-feet few-feet further in will develop something some-thing great. This last promising rock has awakened renewed interest in the j Box Elder canyon mines, causing ! much talk and considerable excitement excite-ment in mining quarters. The Brigham City Mining Co. feci elated and greatly encouraged. They expect to prosecute the work in the canyon all winter long. |
