Show MOSCOW PROPERTY OPENS NEW SHOOT ON 900-FOOT LEVEL Two new ore showings have been opened up in the Moscow Mines property pro-perty near Milford, Utah, on the 900 level in the Glory fissure system, which puts a totally different aspect on property, according to the report of Superintendent Robert Sherwood to Manager Garratt S. Wilkin. Discoveries of high grade carbonate carbon-ate ore in two places at a considerable consider-able distance apart along the Glory fissure add weight to the belief that the Glory fissure is not post-mineral as has been believed before but one of the main mineralizing fissures of the formation. If this latter conclusion proves true, the Moscow Mines company should have a valuable, undeveloped territory to prospect for the Glory fissure is the master fissure of the formation and cuts every bed from the Monzonite stock clear through the limestone into the quartzite. .Mr. Sherwood's report states that in driving east of the raise on the Glory fissure six or eight inches of good ore was opened up going up and east and that this has been drifted on for 25 feet. But it is in the crosscut west of the north-south Glory fissure, that the best showing has been found, according ac-cording to Mr. Sherwood. Three rounds of holes were put in raise at this point and "a nice streak of ore exposed. The showing is now about one foot wide and is going east, west and up. Most of it is gray sand carbonates car-bonates with some boney stuff mixed with it. It is picking ore and the hanging wall is loose. It looks as if we might have the start of a good ore body. A carload of ore has been mined from this place." In the Fault stope, a similar lead led to the opening up of an ore body, that in one place, acccording to Mr. Wilkin, was 20 feet thick, carrying as high as 75 per cent lead carbonate. This Fault ore body was 500 feet long. Mineral Survey. |
