Show ship BIG TONNAGE FROM MICHIGAN-UTAH Salt Lake, Aug. 9. What is apparently appar-ently developing into an Important ore body is a strike made recently In the territory being operated by the Trianglo Leasing company at the Michigan-Utah Consolidated property in the Little Cottonwood district. About three weeks ago a six-inch stringer of high-grade copper ore wa3 encountered In starting a drift off the Cleves tunnel and this has now developed into a five-foot body of high-grade ore. It Is the best class of ore that has been mined to date by the leasing company, according to the management. In discussing the work of the leasing leas-ing company Norman W. Haire, president pres-ident of the Michigan-Utah Consolidated Consoli-dated company, said yesterday that since January 1 of this year there had been shipped bjr the leasing company -1 J 2.G76.62 dry tons of ore, the net pro- ceeds from which were $51,557.52. This amount was shipped up to Aug- $ ust 3. and yesterday there were still !' unsettled for and standing in the j yards of the United States Refining 1 Smelting company twenty carloads r that will average better than forty tons of ore per car. The ore that I has been settled for has netted bet' f ter than $19 per ton. This ore is but from one of the leases that have been granted on the property, and when ' i, the ether lessees operating in other : I parts of the Michigan-Utah ground start shipping the output will be con- slderably increased. The Triangle o Leasing company is now shipping at ; Ql the rate of about eighty tons per day , and officials of the leasing company 1 are of the opinion that that output ' , 11 can be maintained for a considerable ( period of time. 1 j Excellent progress Is being made ! : by the miners in the employ of the ' ' company that are driving the Copper ! j Prince tunnel along what is believed : to be the Grizzly fissure. The objec- ' live of this work is to reach the point ' U where the fissure intersects1 the La- It vinia vein, from -which a large ton- jj nage of ore has been mined in the ; I upper workings. According to the es- ;j tlmates of the- engineers that made ' the survey, this point should be reach- J) ed In the very near future. t: $ . J I |
