Show Beaver Metals a Comer Rich Samples Forecast Wonderful Deposit of Anglesite Lead Judge E. D. R. Thompson and A. L. Jacobs of Salt Lake, who are interested inter-ested in the Beaver Lake Metals Company, Com-pany, this county, spent last Sunday at the mines, going out with Herbert Nichols, also a director of the company. com-pany. The party brought in, Sunday evening, eve-ning, what is probably the largest sample of ore seen in Milford for many years, a chunk of anglesite lead ore, weighing between forty-five and fifty pounds, and as large as a good-sized water melon. The new shaft in this mine is now down one hundred and thirty-seven feet and to the west of the north-south fissure. In order to better determine in what direction to drift the new shaft so as to strike the fissure, the company sunk a winze on the east side of the fissure. The winze is now down thirty-five feet with a pitch of about 4 degrees toward the west, and here was encountered a body of sand carbonates. Samples of this material have just been assayed and shows SI 96 lead, 17.8 ounces of silver and forty cents gold, or about $70 a ton. But the big surprise came in the striking of a vein, one to two feet wide, of rich anglesite lead ore, showing show-ing 65"7c lead and from 17 to 25 ounces of silver. In six feet of digging, one man took out three tons of ore. The anglesite is in a casing of white talc, which, in itself, has been known to yield as high as 200 ounces of silver. Samples of this talc are now in process of assay: A prominent local mining man, an expert, in fact, who examined the samples of this anglesite and talc, pronounced the find an important one. Work in the winze is being pushed, also in the new shaft on the west side of the fissure and it is thought that the latter hole will cut the fissure at about 250 feet. The Beaver Lake Metals property is located about twelve miles north-west of Milford in the Beaver Lake districs; there are twelve good claims. Hon. E.D.R. Thompson, former Register of the U. S. Land offiee. Salt Lake, is a director and also Secretary of the Company. Louis Merriman is manager. man-ager. Officers and directors are "feeling good" over the prospects and believe they have a splendid property.
