From The Park Record Jan. 24. 1930 MINING Operations are being conducted con-ducted in the Park City Consolidated Mining Company's Com-pany's ground at Park City under the most favorable conditions in order to check the correctness of geologic deductions. This weighting of data is being done in two horizons, the Ontario quart-zite quart-zite and the Park City limestones, that up to the present have furnished the bulk of $274,000,000 or more taken from the district. Exploration in the Ontario quartzite is being carried on in a winze sunk on the Silver Fissure below the 400 foot level, a short distance from the bottom of the shaft. This work will prove definitely whether the primary pri-mary mineralization increases increa-ses with depth as well as determine if a concentration or enrichment of mineral values occurs in or near the sulphide zone. Developments have been most gratifying. The fissure has increased notably and values are better. Sunday, Fourteen inches of the vein matter assayed 47 ounces of silver to the ton. A sample of five feet of the vein carried 20 ounces to the ton. No water has been developed to interrupt the progress of sinking through the Weber quartzite. Nor is any trouble expected since the bottom of the winze is still 150 feet above the level of the Ontario No. 2 drain tunnel of the adjoining Park Utah property- On the 400 level, the company is drifting and cross-cutting to ascertain if the strong fissuring and mineralization has not been conductive to the formation of replacement ore bodies in the limestone strata in the first 150 feet of Park City formation overlaying the Weber quartzites. Careful geologic work on the part of J.J. Beeson. manager of the company, has been centered on the limestone strata above the Janney quartzite in the Park City formation. It is this thin quartzite member that forms the marker for many of the big ore bodies in the Silver ' King Coalitiuii, the Daly and the Daly West and New Quincy on the west side of the camp. Mineralization of a pronounced pro-nounced type has been opened in this area in several places. The heading being advanced at present shows a zone 20 feet thick carrying massive iron and manganese replacement, a type of occurrence that in the Park City district generally lies on the fringes of the big ore bodies. 100 Years Ago ...
