Show EAST TITIC1IG HILL .. TEilTJY ' Much Interest Centered in This District Big Development De-velopment One of the recent -undertakings of! the Knight interests Is the development develop-ment of the Big Hill territory, which lies In the East Tintic district, where so much interest is now centering. In addition to the company's own development work, the ground ir so sltu-,';ed that any favorable develop-m-iui of the Eureka Lily, Eureka Bullion, Bul-lion, Iron King. Zuma, Eureka Standard, Stan-dard, and other well known properties In that district will be reflected m the valuation of the Big Hill property. The company has recently equipped Its property with powerful electrical hoist, capable of development to a depth of 2000 rcet. It has installed electric driven compressor, a new pipe line connecting -vith the w ells at Ho-mansvllie; Ho-mansvllie; put in a change house, and in fact put In every kind or equipment necessary Tor a first-class property. The shaft is now down to a depth of 575 feet. By March a depth of 600 feet will have been attained, at which point It is the intention of the man agement to crosscut to the Hssure disclosed dis-closed by work done many years ago rrom the 200 Toot level of the old shart. At this point a heavy sulphide zone : showing small values in siher and j copper, 100 feet in width, was disclosed disclos-ed by this early work, but for lack of tunus dropped at the time of the 1907 depression. It is the confident prediction of all mining men who have sen this, wonderful showing on the 200 foot level, thai a big replacemen; of shipping ore will be disclosed at, or near, the 600 foot level. The sul phide zone showing at the 200 foot level gives every reason to believe that the great depth required on the 'east side of the mountain, as shown 'by the Tintic Standard Mining coin-ipa.iy's coin-ipa.iy's development will not be neces-Isary neces-Isary in the Big Hill territory. The public will watch with interest I the development of this property when drifting is actually commenced from ! the COO foot level, as the fissure is only SO Teet distant rrom the shart This is a north-south fissure and I? icut by a prominent east-west break which no doubt accounts for the heavily heav-ily mineralized zone disclosed on th J 200 foot level. |
