The Pacific miners nro said to havo opened n vein with three crosscuts which proves It to be 300 feet long. It lies parallel to tho main tunnel and is a fissure in tho quartzlto and Is said to range frjm 2 to 4 feet wide nnd to contain chiefly milling ore, the principal values bolng In lead and silver. It Is learned that the mtneni are now repairing the lower tunnei which will be extended Into tho lime" formation and a vigorous search made for the fissures which have been productive of ore of much value In tho quartzite. In Attn nnd other mining districts it seems to bo the custom whero a fissure in tho quartzlto Is dovolped to Immediately follow It Into tho lime formation which Is moro solu-able solu-able for tho formation of replacement ore. The Pacific company have this formation in an Ideal situation to inves tlgato at depth and It is understood they will encounter the Hmo In a few days at a dlstanco of 1400 feet from the. portal of tho main tunnel and nbout 600 feet underground. |
