Show 'GLORY HOLE' INDICATIONS AT FRISCO SPEEDS UP MINING OF VERY RICH VEINS Converging veins of increasing size and mineralization evidence the approach ap-proach of a "glory hole" in the new workings of the Frisco Silver-Lead Mining company, adjacent on the northwest to Horn Silver mine at Frisco, according to Louis F. Block, president and general manager of the mine. With ore samples, containing silver, lead and gold, taken from new faces. Mir. Block retuned to Salt Lake during the week after an inspection of the mine and declared that Frisco is on the verge of a boom and comeback, bound very soon to take its place as one of the four great mining camps of Utah. Horn Silver is going big, Frisco Silver-Lead is in ore which glistens in the head ,the walls and ceiling and very large; the Lulu, being operated by the American Smelting & Refining company is making a fine showing and other properties in the mineralized mineraliz-ed Frisco district are to be developed," develop-ed," said Mr. Block. "I have never seen a district pick up like Frisco in years and supported by one of the greatest mineralized areas in the west, Frisco's comeback is very real indeed." Genuine Cambrian lime carries the gold, silver, lead in bedded ore deposit de-posit in veins 6, 8 and 10 feet wide, Mr. Block explains in connection with the new development in his mine. A cross-cut 75 feet wide has disclosed five large fissures, earring, splendid shipping ore. One winze 125 feet down and running run-ning northwest and southwest with a westerly dip has a huge deposit of shipping and milling ore. Another crosscut again discloses a series of veins with northwest and southwest strike and easterly dip of good milling mill-ing ore. This crosscut was of a total of 10.3 feet. Here parallel fissures at frequent intervals through their increase in-crease in mineralization and general tendancy toward converging are shown by Mr. Block, to indicate the "glory hole" approach. Great compact deposist of very rich ore were found in Horn Silver mine during its heyday and which again are in evidence in the operation of the Horn Silver by the Tintic Lead company. com-pany. To indicate the expanse of the mineralization min-eralization of the Frisco district, the heavy veins, which have been struck in Frisco Silver Lead, pass into and through the Horn Silver ground, which is adjacent. Mr. Block says that Frisco Silver-Lead Silver-Lead has 60,000 tons of ore in sight and 25,000 tons down for shipping. ' Mining engineers and others interested inter-ested in developing properties in the Frisco district are every day scouring the district and making extensive inspections, in-spections, says Mr. Block. This interest, he says, comes from the decision of Horn Silver, which owns 10,000 acres of mineralized lands in and around its mine to sell undeveloped sections for new mines, separate from its main workings. The safety of such a venture in mining, says Mr. Block, is up to a very high standard in that the probability of j striking pay ore borders on a definite certainty. S. L. Mining News. |
