Show (CREOLE MINE UNCOVERS, HORN SILVER Three properties, the Creole, Stampede Stam-pede and Croff, in the south end of the Mineral mountain or Antelope range, are now active, work having just been resumed on the Croff, is the report that Supt. R. R. Tanner of the latter brought up from Beaver county yesterday. The Croff incline shaft is down 260 feet. From this a drift out about 100 feet is making for the main fissure. On the Key claim a drift should strike the vein more than 200 feet deeper than any of the Creole workings. At present there is about four feet of water standing in the Croff shaft, and this pretty well fills the drift. The shaft is now being unwatered preliminary to starting up the permanent drifting drift-ing work. When the work was discontinued dis-continued the face of the drift indi cated the approach to probably the objective vein. The shaft is equipped equip-ped with a whim. The Stampede company Is drifting on the 300 level, where it has a strong mineralized disclosure. It is said to be in splendid physical" condition, con-dition, and has been breaking good shipping values, and marketing some ore. Tl new crowd In charge of the Creole is pushing things. Joseph Pulley is now superintendent, while Hans Peterson Is president and Her-chel Her-chel Bullen secretary-treasurer. The control Is now held by Cache valley people. Some copper ore is at present pres-ent being broken. It is reported that recently some rich silver ore was struck. Specimens are said to have carried horn silver. This was characteristic char-acteristic of the original find of ores near the surface of the old Horn Silver mine at Frisco, twenty-five miles to the west. . .. |
