Show FIFTY-DOLLAR ORE FROM THE CARDIFF Good news from the Cardiff property prop-erty was brought to Salt Lake on Thursday by Vice President Fred W. Price, who has been several days looking through this interesting Blg Cottonwood proposition. The Cardiff at present Is shipping forty to forty-flvo forty-flvo tons of ?50 per ton ore a week, the ore coming fromthe south drift from the uppor tunnel level. An Interesting In-teresting feature of these shipments, is the fact that thejaverage weight of the sacks as shipped Is 140 ponnds, this demonstrating that the management manage-ment is shipping ore and as little waste as possible ' The winze, now down about eighty-five eighty-five feet from the upper tunnel, is being continued 150 feet deeper so that easier connections can be made with the lower tunnel when this reaches the spot desired. This lower tunnel Is being sent into the resources re-sources to get a vertical depth of COO ' feet greater than the upper tunnel and which will present a greater depth by 600 feet on the dip of the voin. Tho tunnel is in about 530 feet and judging from the face, Mr. Price believes that the contact should be found at any round of holes. Running will be far easier when the contact is reached, and the management manage-ment will be operating under the at-tracthe at-tracthe condition that new ore bodies are logically to be expected at any and all times along this contact. The management Is also driving the north drift from the upper tunnel, being out 350 feet at present. The walls arc well defined, there Is some ore along each wall, while the quartz filling o the vein is fairly shot through with ore. Up the canyon from the Cardiff are the Brandborg Contention, Reed's Peak, Tar Baby and East Carbonate properties, all of which are at work and with decidedly promising conditions condi-tions onw apparent to tho visitor. |
