Show FRISCO MINING MATTERS. Horn Silver and Adjoining Claims North Star and Other Clams. The Bale of the Bismuth mine, in Lin -coin district, is reported, and the owner, M. L. Powers, is said to have received $40,000 for the property . Col. H. C Woodrow, representing the Comet syndicate of frog eaters, went to Salt Lake City yesterday. There is nothing noth-ing new to report relative to the Copper Gulch mines. The old Horn Silver hoisting works are being dismantled and a part of the plant placed over the shaft on the North end of the claim, where work is being prosecuted with a view to opening the upper levels of the mine. . It is reported that a big strike was made in Quartzite No. 2, a claim for which application for patent is now being made by Gen. F. Solomon. The property lies just across the divide beyond the Horn Silver, and a wide ledge of good-grade good-grade ore is said to be in sight. E. Buett-ner, Buett-ner, who has the mine in charge, left for Salt Lake City Wednesday morning, and entrance to the mine is barred- until his return. Mr. Campbell, the Star mine operator, is highly elated over the new strike in the Adelia mine, on the same vein as the Hickory, one of the best defined ledges in Utah. The Adelia lies on the east end of the group upon which Mr. Campbell is concentrating his capital and energies. Until night? before last there was not much to warrant great expectations, but about midnight the entire face of the drift changed, and at a depth of one hundred feet the ledge was struck and an eight-foot eight-foot body of carbonate and chloride ore was exposed to view". The vein is eight feet wide, of clean fifty-onnce ore tying between regular walls and the indications are in favor of the ore extending from the surface down to the deep. A car load of first and second-class ore was taken out by the night shift. Mr. Campbell is an indefatigable worker and after having spent a fortune in developing the Star mines and mill, he is in a fair way to be rewarded for his enterprise. So sanguine is he now of success, that he will not part with his chances for half a million dollars. dol-lars. Southern Utah Times. |
