Show REPORT FAYORARLK ON ANTELOPE ANTE-LOPE STAR H. C. Parker, former superintendent superintend-ent of the Utah Metals company, well known as mine expert and engineer, has just completed an examination of the Antelope Star mine of Beaver county, embodying his findings in an extended report to the officials of the company. That Mr. Parker, with his characteristic char-acteristic conservatism, has not overstated over-stated the existing condition and possibilities pos-sibilities is assured. The stock has een active on the Salt Lake exchange for several monftis and an official statement of conditions is naturally welcome to many who are directly interested. in-terested. Substance of Report A digest of the signed report of Mr. Parker follows: This property consists of nine claims in the Antelope range. 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, twenty-two miles north of Milford. Utah, and eight miles from Black . Rock, the nearest railroad point on the Salt Lake Route. There is a good wagon road between the railroad rail-road station and mine, and hauling can be continued the entire year. The mine is in sedimentary limestone lime-stone with fractures running east and west, north and south, containing contain-ing barium, lead, silver, gold and copper, which shows some leaching on the surface. At present most ol the galena is deposited in the barium. With a little depth this should change to large deposits ol galena and copper, the barium cutting cut-ting out and the ore going to great depth. This great fractured and mineral zone runs the entire length of the property anil is about I nun feet wide and consists of two ore-hearing ore-hearing fissures wilh a northerly and southerly strike and cut by five different beddings. The ore. both in fissures and beddings, varies from three to seven feel in width. Assays As-says taken from various places givt value from 9 to Oil per cent lead. Development Showing The development work on this property has shown great results, there being a large tonnage of mill ore in sight, also some shipping. Development consists of open cuts, all of which show ore. shafts, all sunk in ore. and tunnels, most ol which are driven in fin ore. There are fifteen different places in thi property where pay ore has hei n encountered. I did not have time to measure i up all blocked out., but can safely estimate that there are betwe'ti 7,0.
