Show dam 0 1 a Fifty Years Ago February 0 1918 Spiro Active That good work Is being done in the driving of the Spiro tunnel of the Silver King Con is evident from a report re received received received re- re at the company's office today which stated that during January the miners minors had pushed into the hill hUI a distance of feet at which rate is was thought the Park City formation would soon be reached says Tuesday Deseret News At the time of the anno announcement announce announcement announce announce- cament ca- ca ment concerning the purchase of the tho Comstock California it was stated that the Spiro tunnel tunnel tunnel tun tun- nel had been driven a distance of feet This is about third one-third of the distance originally originally originally nally Intended and it is quite possible that the of newly acquired territory may result in its Us being pushed still sUll farther into the hill to connect with the Comstock California-Comstock shaft In the meantime however itis it itIs itis is believed valuable ore bodies will be encountered as the tunnel tunnel tunnel tun tun- nel has already cut several ore- ore bearing fissures although the shallow de depth p t h precluded the possibility of high values Now however indications are that in a comparatively the bedded fissure of the Park City formation will be gone into as the miners have cut through the Thayne's formation and are arenow arenow arenow now in shale which gives promise promise pro pro- promise mise of an early change When this is reached ore carrying good values in silver and lead leadis leadIs is confidently expected The C Comstock California a 11 f o r n t Comstock a-Comstock shaft has reached a depth of feet To connect this with the tunnel it will be necessary to sink to a depth of v sibly 1500 feet work which will likely be decided upon as soon as the new stock has been prorated and anda a price fixed It is said also tobe to tobe tobe be highly probably that the millon mill millon on the C Comstock California may be placed in commission within a comparatively short time especially if good values valnes are soon encountered in the Spiro tunnel Keystone Suits February 22
