Show NEW ORE BODIES DISCOVERED IN BEAVER ' UPLIFT AROUSE INTEREST OF PR0M0T0RS: Discovery of new ore bodies, with assays running well up in gold, silver and lead, in developed mining properties, and intense prospecting are bringing increased interest in operations in the famous Beaver uplift, extending from Milford in Beaver county to Marysvale in Piute county. Bullion Canyon Gold Mining & Milling company, which now owns the properties of the old Deseret mine, near Marysvale, originally orig-inally operated by Senator George Hearst, father of William Randolph Ran-dolph Hearst, and later by Joseph Fielding Smith, late president of the L. D. S. church, shows a number of new precious strikes j with high gold values. Paul Kimball, the Bullion presidents who as geologist and mining engineer, has been subjecting the property to very close scrutiny, says that the strikes, mainly in Tunnel No. 1, were expected from previous indications. These prompted the company to make arrangements to install a new plant, which it is said will be by far the finest in the Bullion canyon area. The machinery is now being shipped and it is expected that the new mining min-ing plant will be well under way by early December. The principal unit consist of a four-hammer compressor. This will supplant hand drilling and greatly speed operations in the direction direc-tion of known productive ore bodies. The newest assays of samples from Bullion canyon mine strikes run $70 in gold, 21.3 ounces of silver, 27.2 per cent lead and 70 per cent copper. Another An-other series of sample run $35 in gold and 180 ounce of silver to the estimated estim-ated ton. Encouraged by these strikes and assays, as-says, Bullion Canyon has taken an option op-tion of twelve adjoining claims which also are bounded by the Deer Trail, the Wedge and Daisy Dean groups, or in ground which has been highly productive pro-ductive in mine profits. The twelve claims have been known as the Inde- pendence group. Addition gold development was reported re-ported during the week from the Annie An-nie Laurie mine, with high grade shipping ore coming out of the upper levels where leasers are working. Operations Op-erations of the Annie Laurie mine are now being pushed under a directorate 1 which includes B. F. Bauer, W. Montj Ferry, Vivian Strange, Frank B. Cook and others. Properties of the Gold Mountain Mining company, of which Joseph R. Murdock is president and I. A. Smoot secretary-treasurer, and which adjoins the Annie Laurie mine, are again tak-' ing on new development, with a num-1 ber of assays just completed showing gold and silver values in very encour-1 ! aging amounts. The directorate of: ; this property has been making ar- rangements for new developments which will be of considerable import -j ance, they report, the result of the high interest now being centered in the Beaver Uplift country. Dr. A. J. Lewis of Salina ,who has t : . leased the Gold Strike, Tushar, and Shamrock mines, close to the Marysvale Marys-vale area, came to Salt Lake during the week with samples from new strikes, running five ounces in gold and considerable silver and lead. He , reports having made the shipment of two railroad carloads of gold, silver and lead ore from his mine. At present pre-sent he is working on plans of mining j with equipment of greater capacity. Information that Pacific coast and local financial backing behind the For-1 tuna group of mines of considerable . importance will be disclosed with the filing of new incorporation papers, J persisted during the week. Consum-; mation of the new Fortuna incorporation incorpora-tion is due for about next week. New" District Expected That a new strike of gold and silver silv-er ore has been made twelve miles out from Beaver is contained in another report which came out of the Beaver uplift during the week. This is entire- ly away from any of the present established es-tablished mining districts and will, it is claimed, result in the organization of a new mining district. The report is that float ore of heavy gold content j was discovered last summer. This lead to a tracing of its source to a well mieralized ledge. A great number num-ber of claims are being filed in the discovery area and since it is reported report-ed in financing, a new company of local and Pacific coast capital. Tintic Lead Ships Gold On the other side of the range favorable fa-vorable reports of progress were contained con-tained in reports from Milford, at the Frisco Lulu, which his being operated by the American Smelting & Refining company, and the Horn Silver workings work-ings of the Tintic Lead company, which has started the new activity which now extends throughout the Beaver uplift. Gold showings in the Frisco Lulu are reported to be steadily stead-ily improving and Tintic Lead reported report-ed during the week that the strike which they made of the Lulu gold lead, extending into the 450 Horn Silver Sil-ver level property, continues to show high supporting assays of silver and lead. Tintic Lead shipped four carloads car-loads of gold ore and five of silver during the week. Mining News. |
