Show mining; MII.I'ORI)-MAi;(l.lA MINUS The .Milford-Magnoiia Mines con- . sists of nine full mining claims, atui lis located about twelve miles south-1 ' west of Milford. City and on the south sou-th end of Star district. This property prop-erty is being worked by a group of Salt Lake people. The property is equipped with a 25-horsepower oil engine, compressor, compress-or, hoist, shop and necessary bunk houses. The Geology is quite complex, being be-ing made up of limestones, shale and quartzile, whieh are cut by fissures and porphyry dikes. The property covers, as a blanket, a Quaquaversal fold of the limestones, and extends from the Morehouse Quartzite and La va flows on the West across the limes lim-es to Talisman Quartzite on the East. One set of fissures cutting the limes have a North 10 degree East strike and a dip almost vertical, the other set of fissures have a East-West strike stri-ke with a dip of 45 degrees Southwest, South-west, both set of fissures intersect the porphyry dikes, as well as intersect inter-sect themselves. The ore in making along the intersection in-tersection of the fissures, this intersection inter-section has been followed on its dip for a distance of 275 feet and ore has made all the way. The most ,fav orable point for ore seems to be at the intersection of a certain lime bed with the intersection of the Assures, As-sures, at this point there is a very pronounced brecciated zone wh,ich acts as a sponge to absorb the mineral min-eral bearing solutions. The Assures making the channel through which the solutions rise. The ores mined to date are lead-silver, lead-silver, carrying an excess of iron, but on the East side of the property on the contact of lime and quartzite in a spongy quartz, is a copper vein which is 10 inches thick and carries car-ries a small amount of silver and lead. The ores were first mined by Mr. J. T. Kelley, who shipped several cars of good silver-lead ore. The ore was mined at grass roots and followed fol-lowed some ninety feet on a Southwest South-west dip. The present company picked up the continuation of the ore on the 135 foot level in the verti cal shaft and again on the 200 foot level, from these two points several good carloads of ore have been shipped. ship-ped. The company now is sinking at the intersection of the fissures on the 200 level, and have followed ore as far as the work has gone. The formation for-mation is good and the fissures are playing true so every good indications indica-tions for more good ore at depth is attained. A |
