Show MILFORD MINES ATTRACTING CAPITALISTS z Beaver Copper has been the sensation sen-sation in local mining circles this week. The Salt Lake papers have had several stories of the new strike. On the 200-foot level a rich vein of silver was encountered. This vein is two to three feet in thickness. But samples from the rich six-inch core assayed 1125 ounces in silver, 33 per cent copper and $2.00 in gold values. This makes about $1400 ore. The extent of this vein has not been determined. It is vertical and has been drifted through. Work will now be directed to raising and sinking sink-ing on the vein. Beaver Copper is located in the Beaver Lake mining district, about twelve miles northwest of Milford on Lime mountain. It is joined by Beaver Bea-ver Lake Metals and Copper Mountain, Moun-tain, from both of which shipments of high grade lead and copper ore have been made. Lewis Merrimah, superintendent of the Yankee Consolidated of Eureka, Eure-ka, is the manager and H. C. Chris-tensen Chris-tensen is foreman. The property is equipped with air compressor and hoist and machine drills. Three men are operating these machines and good progress is being made. Several local people have small holdings in the mine, and a large number of shares have changed hands the past few days. So many curious people have been swarming to the mine that it has been necessary to warn some of them away. But several parties of well known mining men from Salt Lake City and elsewhere have made the trip and investigated the new discovery. discov-ery. Naturally this find has caused considerable interest in nearby properties. prop-erties. With silver at the present high price this great strike is indeed quite interesting. L |
