Show BEAVER COPPER SHIPS CAR ORE DEVELOP SEVERAL SHOOTS CONTAINING COPPER VALUES t A shipment of copper ore will arrive ar-rive on the Salt Lake market this week from the Beaver Copper property prop-erty in the Beaver Lake Copper district, dis-trict, near Milford, Utah. This carload taken from a shoot mined on the 50 foot level on the incline shaft, will assay about 6 per cent copper and $2 in gold, according to Manager A. J. McMullen. Raises and chutes are being put in shape on the 225-foot level of the mine, said Mr. McMullen, to stope from two other copper deposits. The first lies about 100 feet west from the bottom of the incline shaft and the other about 600 feet west These deposits occur as a replacement replace-ment of the limestone along a lime-stone-monzonite contract. Values are in the oxidized form with some chal-copyrite chal-copyrite showing in the mass. Some of the samples taken from No. 2 shoot have assayed as high as 21 per cent copper. On the 50-foot level, a drift is being be-ing driven. Length of the shoot here should be according to surface indications, indi-cations, about 60 feet. As soon as a new chute and runway can be built into the No. 2 raise, Mr. McMullen believes that a carload netting the company around $2,000 should be gotten got-ten out. Western Mineral Survey. n |
