Show New Strike at the Utah-Apex Since last fall the Utah-Apex has struck an entirely new ore body he first indications of a 1 new vein was encountered on the 1800 foot level; then through from the 2000 foot level it was picked up on the 2100, operating thru the Utah-Delaware, or the old Highland Boy at a greater depth than could be reached from the Utah-Apex side the streak was again picked up on the 2400 foot level. In the 2417 cross cut of the 2400 level three foot of 30 per cent lead and 10 per cent zinc ore is extending in a westemly direction and in the 2418 drift there is a full face of 15 per cent lead and 15 Der cent zinc. Assays taken from this crosscut are Silver 16 ozs; lead 40 per cent and zinc 22 per cent. On the assays taken from the 2418 crosscut the results were Silver 7 ozs., Lead 40 per cent, Zinc 15 per cent. At a cost of I $50,000, 1400 feet of development develop-ment work has been done which has been more than realized from the ore shipments made while develiping. It is hoped by sinking at a greater depth larger larg-er ore bodies may be discovered and that the Highland Boy and other mining properties will in the near future open up new bod ies of ore which old miners of the Bingham district have claim ed possible by sinking. |
