Show . : SHTerReef Mining Notes. H. Siedentopf made a small shipment to the Stormont Mill from the Leeds mine. The pulp assay of the ore was over 100 ounces per ton. - The mining interests of the Reef never looked better than at the. present time 'Forthe past few -months; chloriders and prospectors" have been working on prospects pros-pects that were practically abandoned for vears. The terms,, held out by the new Leaching Company, has induced chlorides chlo-rides to work lower grade ores than has been heretofore- made to pay, and, as a consequence, several " rich bodies of ore have been discovered. ; . - Late developments in the California, Buckeye &. Savage Stormy King, have opened up strong . bodies of high grade ore in the lower workings, and upset all the old theories, that the silver-sandstone ledges did not go down. The fact of the matter is, that there is more ore in sight in the Reef than in any camp on the coast.-- The ore is freer and the ground softer thai in any other silver camp in the world. . The prejudice against sandstone sand-stone deposits has worn' away and at the present rate of-.improvement, the Reef will, within a year, take rank among the leading silver producing camps. - Allen G. Campbell, of Horn Silver fame, and W. H. Burnison, of the South' em Utah Times, have purchased the "Butte" mine and will begin at once to develop it. This is undoubtedly one of the' finest pieces of property in this silver-sandstone silver-sandstone county, and will, with very little-capital and labor- judiciously applied, turn out a bonanza. Thousands of dollars' worth of high grade ore have been extracted ex-tracted from the mine by chloriders; near the surface, and it is a well known fact that there is quite a body of ore, some of which is very rich, opened up in the old workings. Men; who are posted, say that as soon as the water is pumped out, the mine will pay big from the start. A No. 5 or 6 pump will drain the property in a couple of days and keep it dry without difficulty. ' - |
