Show Famous Old. Yankee Again to the Front Another Strike In the Cuujou Record, vd The Hluirest of tho l'cnr Flow of titer Stops Work on the l'u-clllc. l'u-clllc. But u few days ago tho "Two Jucks," John Armstrong und John Uruuthutn, secured a sub-lease on a portion of tho old Live Yankee initio In American Fork canyon from John Cleghoru, or tno Belcorphon Mining company, who own tho original lease. The men lost no time lu getting to work after securing the lease, and wituln forty-eight hours after commencing com-mencing work they had filled a hundred hun-dred sacks with high-grade galena ore und in tho evening phoned down to il. C. Johnson to send up by John Mc-l'ugue Mc-l'ugue ail tho sacks that ho could get for them. Mr. Johnson sont up by McMcTuguo' yesterday ten bundles of fifty sacks each, all that tho Pacific company hud pn hand. Tho "Two J neks" reported by tole-phono tole-phono that they had four feet of tho iilgh-gritdo galena characteristic Yankee Yan-kee ore, and that it was "going down" strong. As Yankeo oro of this class is worth approximately $100 per ton lu lend and sliver values, It would appear that tho striko of tho "Two Jacks" is a most important ono. In fact, If thu telephone reports provo true, it Is tho most Important ono of tho year. Thu old Yuukeo has an erratic history, his-tory, in tho early days a fortuno of $250,000 was' taken out in one body lying right In tho grass roots. This latest find Is but a short distance from the old historic find and ono or tho other of them appears to bo an offshoot off-shoot from tho other. Only last year, on tho aamo property ond a littlo way down tho canyon, u single boulder weighing C,000 pounds was taken out of the dirt und brought $200 nt the smulter. Just how big tho new striko will provo Is, of course, u mere matter of speculation, Tho boys will sack It fast as they take it oit. Neither was It learned oxactly where tho find was made, but Impressions gained over tho telephono aro that It was but a few feet from the surface. Word also comes down from tho canyon can-yon that tho nine men Peter Miller had at work sinking on tho Pacific mtno hnve nil been taken out of the shaft and been put to work ou surfacu prospecting. This Is becauso the flow of wntor has driven them out. It Is understood that Mr. Miller Is negotiating nego-tiating for a gasoline engine and an air compressor, which, whoti Installed, will tuko euro of tiie water and sinking sink-ing will bo resumed. Tho Utah Centennial, a Pleasant Grove, aggregation, Is doing somo development de-velopment work and havo struck a small stringer of silver bromide ore, though they havo not yet reached tho destination where, thoy expect to get tho body which they hope to find In a big fissure vein twenty or thirty feet ahead, for which they aro running a tunnel now In between 300 and 400 feot. George Tyler In tho Bny State and Ned Wild In tho Dutchman report about the sumo conditions as last week. Both uro taking out a littlo oro and hoping for lnrger bodies. |
