Show m CALUMET DEVELOPING A LARGE AMOUNT OF ORE The new Calumet mining district in the northwestern part of Iron county promises to become one of the richest lead producing sections in the state, judging from the showing show-ing in the property of the Calumet Mining Company, 30 miles northwest north-west of Lund station on the Salt Lake Route. Shipments have been curtailed through the winter owing to the storms and the bad condition of the road to Sahara, where the ore is loaded on the cars, and the company has taken advantage of the opportunity opportu-nity to develop a large reserve tonnage ton-nage of ore. Word was received last week that an ore body from 10 to 12 feet in thickness had been opened in a small cave to the west of the large cave discovered last December. The superintendent su-perintendent writes that the ore is of good quality and seems to be making mak-ing back under the big cave. This is a new development. The principal reserves are on the 60-foot level under the big cave, and to the west and north of the shaft. Two drifts have been run in the ore, one northwest and the other southwest. In the first there Is ore at the top and bottom. The second has just passed through a rib of white lime and is getting back into the ore again. The last two cars of ore shipped from the property were hauled by team as the roads were too soft to support the big four-wheel-drive truck of the company. Lot 12 is now at the smelter. Part of the mine crew has been put to work on the road, and it is predicted that the company will be shipping 10 to 20 tons a day in another week. The Calumet has five full claims and four claims under bond in its property. There are buildings and machinery on the ground and plenty of water and timber. Allen T. San-ford San-ford is president and Murray Schick secretary of the company. Record. |
