Show MOSCOW SHAFT IS NEAR1NG ITS GOAL Piiitin;'. In Objective Ore lWd To Start Soon In Milford ' Mine. Operations in tl-.o Mokcow Silver Mir. os sh:ift in tho i'.tar district, ji no miles from Moscow, luul reached reach-ed on the first of tin- week the J.tUO foot level or a v, rticnl depth of about 1.-100 feet. The Mowitza shale, forming the r.i.i'ker for the objective ob-jective Silver bil, 1m- vn passed .through ami the w'v.- ! ro:.;.-::e entered en-tered at 1,610 feet. : : r bus been developed but not enough to interfere in-terfere with dev. lopn.,-it, according to Manager Garvatt S. Wilkin, who ,viiul the property last week. Should water prove avv hindrance to development, the company will start drifting in the white limestone to reach the contact with the underlying under-lying blue limestone. Within a comparatively com-paratively short distance, a territory could be reached where a downward continuation of the ore bodies productive produc-tive above might be expected. The South drift on t'-.e 1,100 foot level is evidently in an area, where important developments car be expected ex-pected at any round of Kit? The drift is following a lull face of highly high-ly mineralized vein matter carrying iron, maiumese, taley and decomposed limestone, lying on the contact of the blue and white limestone. Las', week a lejjre of carbonate ore, assayir 63 -a, per cent lead, and -1 ounces of .-.liver to the ton, was cut, according to Mr. Wilkin. Leasers, working in the winze below be-low the 1,400 foot level, are still mining min-ing ore. Two carloads of ore r.re to .be shipped at once. On the 900 foot level, the drift to the southwest, is out 100 feet with another 600 feet remaning before the objective is reached. Western Mineral Min-eral Survey. |
