Show EMMA NEARIXG ORE BODV PROVEN BY THE DRILL "Another important chapter in, the history of the Emma Consolidated Consolidat-ed is promised for the coming week, declared J. J. Beeson, geologist and - mine manager of the Alta .property. "The third level crosscut has already al-ready been driven 135 feet of the 160 feet, which will bring it into Emma ore body, where it was proven prov-en by diamond drill hole No. 7. The present calculations show that there is only 25 feet remaining to be driven, driv-en, but judging from the amount of irony material along fractures and small fissures in the soft, white Emma Em-ma limestone in the face of the cross cut, it would not be surprising if the ore should be disclosed with the blasting of any round. "The vertical distance between the second and third levels is 3 5 feet. The ore body has a dip of about 35 degrees, giving it a length of 100 feet, a proven thickness of 25 feet and a probable width of 40 feet, making a volume, of 100,000 cubic feet, which weighs approxi mately 200 pounds to the cubic foot, giving the total of 10,000 tons of ore.. The larger part of this tonnage ton-nage should have a gross value ot about $40 a ton, but in the ore body above the second level, and this applies ap-plies also to the ore body immediately immediate-ly below, there is a central core of quartz about ten feet in diameter, which is of a lower grade and may be classed as a milling ore. . "Since the summer hauling begun be-gun the Emma has shipped about 1S00 tons of ore, which nets close to J25 a ton at the smelter after the smelting charges and freight from Wasatch have been paid. The best ora which has been shipped to date was a car of 33 tons, which, according accord-ing to the smelter assays and settlement, set-tlement, gave 134 ounces silver and 9 percent lead. This ore was mined in the second level crosscut near the banging wall, where the ore body passes below the second level. |
