Show I I : K EAGLE SHIPS A Mi $5,OCO CAR OF ORE. K Eagle and Blue Boll or Tintic re- Wr cently ran into a bJg ledge of high- Wl grade quartz on the 700-foot level Wz which promises to add vastly to Ihe K profits of the Bingham Mines com- K pony, and naturally enough Imer Pett. H tho successful local general manager H; of the Bingham and Tintic properties Kj is feeling elated these fortunate days. HL Judging from the sampling of tho t first carload, which has just been mi shippod, it will bring the company not Wn less than $5,000. The rich shoot has u . been penetrated quite a little distance, 2 with the high grade showing on top, K; bottom and Jn all sides, and a con- K servatlvo estimate is that there must B: , be at least several more carloads of K this same grade of ore in slghL B- This ore runs approximately $$ to B? $12 in gold, 100 to better than 150 Bj ounces silver and averages as high as Bj 30 per cent load. This now Btrlke is B; proving to be one of the best things B: encountered in the entire Tintic dis- Bj trict In months. As to Its extent and B premanency, only time can determine. ml The new drift being sent out from K the bottom of tho 1,350-foot shart is B? now In 120 feet, and Is making six or K soven feet progress a day. Inside of B sixty days Manager Pett expects to B have the face directly under the ore E bodies which arc now producing a K- good commercial grade on the 1,100 to W 1,300 levels. Here a raise will be made K to the upper levels whether ore is : found or not. K Eagle and Blue Bell has been aver- m) aging 250 tons of ore a week lately, : but last week St increased the shlp- W ments to 350 tons. As soon as the j connections with the ore bodies are K made on the 1,350 level, when the mf ores may be readily dropped and then K raised to the surface in one hoist, the ' ! mlno's production can at any time b( M x largely increased. 4 |
