Show I HORN SILVER ORE " GOES TO DEPTH Kiirl Cm. .l,.i"l Is Recently Ap-"pointed Ap-"pointed Manager of Frisco Aline 'resent day events ar pointing to the K-huhilation of the Horn Silver Sil-ver Sl.ine by tlie Tintic Lead company from an abandoned property to a steady large scale shipper as the outstanding development of year 102'J in Utah prospecting activities. The degree of success rewarding the Tintic Ix-ad enterprise is reflected reflect-ed by the figures submitted to U. S. bureau ' o'f ini,nes .statistician, C. N.

Ore Making : Into Lime Of one thing, the present manage-nert manage-nert is confident. The famous Horn Silver ore body does persist to depth and its continuation has been found on the S50 foot level 150 feet from the old workings. The shoot is making mak-ing in to the limestone beds and all indications point to replacement of the sedimentaries on a scale similar to that in Park City and Tintic. On the 1,000-ft. level, ISO feet south of the 926, the company is evidently evi-dently opening a parallel shoot. Four feet of heavy mineralization was being be-ing entered Sunday. A sample taken . ;from a gouge in the side of the drift I assayed 12 per cent zinc and carried j low values in silver. -j North of the shaft on. the 900 foot level, five feet of ore with no walla -1 in sight is being opened up. This ore ' assays 12 ounces of silver to the ton, 14 per cent zinc, 12 per cent lead and $1 in gold. I In the same zone between the 700 and the 900," a large body of ore is exposed 20 feet below the 700 level.' On the 800 level a drift is being driven: into a full face of ore evidently- the continuation of the ore body above. This ore has been passed pass-ed through a heading 50 feet below, half way between the 800 and 900, proving at least 130 feet of ore on its dip. Samples from the face on the S"0 level assay 12 to 15 per cent lead, 2 per cent zinc and 12 to 28 ounces of silver to the tori. The strength and character of the mineralization, the close similarity of its occurrence to the big deposits n the Park City and Tintic districts convince the management that the 'Homi "Silver mine of the Tintic Lead company "is- again coming into its own and that during the year 1930 the old Beaver county property will again assume its leading place as on of Utah's leading producers.
