Show BEAVER CROWN , WORK PLANNED j ! The Beaver ' Crown Consolidated , Mining company, which recently took over the Gold Crown properties at Milford, and also the Lynn Big Six properties at Lynn, Nev., according to Stringham A. Stevens, secretary and treasurer of the company, has just closed a sale of the Nevada property for $150,000 on a bond and lease. Under Un-der the agreement, a first unit of the millwill be in operation by the first of June, and additional units will be added as conditions will warrant. According Ac-cording to engineers, there is a large tonnage of milling ore ready to be mined, and it is anticipated that operations op-erations at the mine, when once started, will continue over an indefinite indefi-nite period. The company is perfecting its plans to commence operations - at the Milford Mil-ford property in the very near" future. According to the opinion of L. G. Hardy, who is the engineer in charge of the Milford property, there is sufficient suf-ficient shipping ore in. sight- to last for some time, and he predicts large production. Within the last three weeks, he has opened up a four-foot vein of silver and copper ore on the surf ace. The assay of an average sample gave a value of $28.30 per ton. It is his opinion that this vein can be reached from the present workings at the 450-foot level by a drift of approximately ap-proximately 600 feet, which would give 450 feet of stoping around. The mine is eauinned with nearlv all of the necessary machinery for operations. op-erations. That which is lacking will be installed within a short time. Over forty carloads of ore have already been shipped from the property during dur-ing development work,' which brought from $17 to $102 per ton. There are several well defined veins of lead, silver and copper values on 'he surface, and at several points in the present workings very high grade ore is exposed. The officers of the company are: Pr-A. Pr-A. Sorensen, president; C. S. Martin, vice president; Stringham A. Stevens, secretary and treasurer; L. A. Marks, director; H. D. Fitzgerald, director. |
