PARK CITY IS TO HAVE A MM I One of the most important deals consummated hi years In tne Park City mining camp was rounded out on Wednesday between the managements manage-ments of the Daly-Judge company and the Daly West, Ontario and Daly companies. com-panies. By the terms of this deal the famous Ontario drain tunnel will be driven Into the DalylJudge territory, terri-tory, giving the Daly-Judge every advantage ad-vantage of the most noted and efficient effi-cient drain workings at depth in the wesL Beginning with tho first shift of Daly West miners this morning the 1550 level of the Daly West was sent sbead toward the Daly-Judge proper ty, and from that point of early results re-sults this will be by far tho most important- The 1550 level of the Daly West corresponds with the 1950 level lev-el of the Daly-Judge Anchor shaft, and tho drift should be up to tho 150 level station of the Daly-Judge within the next few months Owing to the water on the lower levels of the Daly-Judge no work has bten possible by this company below be-low the 1500 level, although the Anchor An-chor shaft Is 6F.O fet in depth And never In the history of the Daly-Judgo company have operations been possible pos-sible on the noted Daly-Ontario fissure fis-sure below the 1200 level. This Daly -Ontario fissure extends across tlvj Daly-Judge property for 'two miles or more, and it is now opened along Its strike for 26'm feet in the Daly-Judge, Daly-Judge, but, as stated, not bel'.w thy 1200 level. Fissure Very Rich. This Daly-Ontario fissure dring ths t'me the companies of Park City have 1 een working along Its trend has produced pro-duced closo to $50,000,000 net, and n.any years ago the old Ancuor property, prop-erty, now a part of the Daly-Judge estate, was operated to the 1 fiOO level, lev-el, whero shipping ore was no sooner soon-er struck than the inrushing waters drovo tho miners from their work. In fact, the Auchor management did not have time to remove the tools, rud several mine cars loaded with shipping ore had to be abandoned ou tho tracks of tho drift. At the present time, on the 1200 level, lev-el, the Daly-Judge company Is l'lnd-n l'lnd-n g generous quantities of ore along this fissure, it being a matter of general gen-eral knowledge In Park City that this i one of the best grades of ore the Dcly-Judge property has ever produced pro-duced eBtween tho 1500 and 1600 levels of this mine the lime come3 Into contact with the Ontario quam-lte, quam-lte, along which contact, and in the quartette of the fissure itself, the treater portion of mineral wealth has been produced from this vein. The 1500 drift of the Daly-West property, proper-ty, therefore, whleh starts on lt Journey to the Daly-Judgo lines today, to-day, will follow this fissure at a mo.u significant and Impolant depth, and ii should begin to drain off the water be lore the Anchor shaft is cached to such an extent that little or no trouble will be experienced thereafter from this courco. Results Due Speedily. While the Daly-Judgo property has Iveen liberally productive, the man-element man-element has never had the advantage of operating at the depth most de-pired, de-pired, and it is most gratifying to all concerned that such a rich portion of the property, so long locked In by water is to be drained and reached tor mining in such a 6hort time. The agreement between tho organizations organi-zations mentioned contemplates alo i. xi extension of the Ontario tunnel, which will land at the Anchor shaft eventually at a vertical depth of 20u feet. The splendid opportunity the Daly-Judge company will have In developing de-veloping Its ground Is manifest, and the agreement reached yesterday i not only the fruits of at least two -hiV negotiations between tho Interests Inter-ests Involved, hut it has been tho hope of Park City for many years. Its Influence on the production of the famous old camp should be felt immediately. im-mediately. Snake Creek to Continue. One thing that should he emphasized empha-sized Is thatthls deal by no moans Interferes In any way with the driving driv-ing of the Snake cieek drain .tunnel, vOiich work will be continued with all possible vls;or. The Snake cieek tunnel tun-nel will tap tho far southwestern section sec-tion of the Daly-Judge property, ' fullv two and a half miles distant from tho Anchor shaft. The Snako enterprise has hu entirely Independent and vast, acreage of its own to develop and take care of. Tho benefits cf the deal also are not one-sided. The consideration naturally nat-urally Is a large one, the terms beltit to the complete satisfaction of all parties to the agreement. The connections con-nections with the Daly-Judge will be of great, advantage to'the Dalv West company, affording a readv exit in case of accident, while the work will j develop a large section of the Daly Wet toward Its southwesterly cor- |
