Show Beaver Crown Promises Big Developments The Beaver Crown mine, owned by the Beaver Crown Consolidated Mining Min-ing Co., is situated near Milfor, Beaver Bea-ver County, Utah, one of the productive product-ive mining districte of the state. According to the United States geological geo-logical survey, Professiona 1 Paper number 111 this county had produced in gold, lead, silver, copper and zinc, ' 354,111892. Undoubtedly the field has hardly been touched, as is evidenced eviden-ced by the recent activities, chief among am-ong whch is the strike made in the Beaver Crown. This property has been in the course of development for considerable consid-erable time and has already produced upwards of $50,000, the shipments being made at such times as a car lot was available from the discovery vein which appeared at the surface and was followed on a 45 degree incline. in-cline. At the 400 foot level the vein straightened to an almost perpendicular perpendi-cular course and apparently was lost by the former operators who continued continu-ed downward on about the same angle that the vein had previously taken. From the bottom of the shaft several drifts were run, but without finding the ore and on account of lack of means, work was suspended. A fw months ago, the Beaver Crown Consolidated Mining company took over the property, and in July commenced operations. Their engineer, en-gineer, Leonard G. Hardy, and their mine superintendent, A. Y. Taylor, in their first attempt to reach the stope of ore which their predecessors had failed to find, struck what they sa is an arm of the lost vein, into which they have penetrated a distance of 16 feet without reaching the outer wall with pay ore straight ahead, above, below, to the right and to the left Ribs of solid galena appear throughout the gangue with the floor of the drift making in ore that sampled $160.00 per ton, and which is coming up from below on an angle -which leads dirctly towards the large -vein lost 65 feet above. At the point "where the vein was lost above, ore has been opened up to a width of four ft. and exposed at different points along the strike of the vein for a distance of 150 feet It is the intention to drive straight ahead for the big vein, which should be reached in another 35 feet or so and at the same time to drift on the ore already opened up. Under present conditions a car will be taken out every 10 days or two weeks, and should bring from $2000 to $4000 per car. The vein struck is the smallest of six running through the property, all of which can be reached on the 300 foot level of the present works and within comparatively a short distance. dis-tance. The mine is situated three miles from the railroad and six miles from Milford. The American Financing corporation corpora-tion financed he project, and supervised super-vised the opening up of the property- Mineral Survey. |
