Show H Honey Boy Mine FindsStill Richer Ore With Depth Three carloads oi ore were shipped from the Honey Boy mine, east of Milford, during June and plans are underway for shipment of a carload every three days as soon as approximately a hundred tons of ore now in the mouth of the tunnel is out of the way, which will be about Monday or Tuesday of next week. This increased shipment of ore and the fact that the silver content con-tent of the ore has increased from about 20 ounces at the top to some 80 ounces at 150 feet, convinces local people that this mine is surely going to prove to be what some of the more optimistic opti-mistic always believed the biggest big-gest mine ever developed in southern south-ern Utah! A hoist has now been installed in the winz and the tunnel driven 150 feet, with operations greatly facilitated thereby. Cross-cutting Cross-cutting out from the winz there has been encountered a larger ore body han the one followed down and the mine looks many times better than it ever did before this fact being borne out by every mining authority who has examined ex-amined the property, including Frederick F. Brewster of New Haven, Connecticut, well known New England banker and ex-mining engineer, who was heavily interested at Bingham at one time. Reluctant though he is to re-enter the mining game so far front his present field of operations, opera-tions, he lost no time in buying $2500 worth of Honey Boy stock after making a trip to the mine last winter and at a time before the steadily increasing values had begun to show to any extent! It has been the constant policy of company officials to make the ore encountered in the Honey Boy pay for all development work, but excellent progress has been made and now, with the increased silver values, it is contemplated putting a force of at least 20 men to work by August! |
