Hidden Treasure.

Sundays Statesman reports inn
portant discoveries made in the Hid
den Treasure mine at Neal. When
Mr.. Howe took charge under the
new organization of the property he
found that the Fish Hook tunnel
had been run SO that it was bearing
away to the south of the vein in the
hanging wall, and that a cross-cut
to the north would cut the lode in
comparatively short distance.
Moreover, this tunpel is SO low that
crosscut would drain the old work
ings in advance of the completion of
the long tunnel that is being run.
Therefore work was started at a
point at about 100 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel.
On Friday this crosscut opened
into ore. The thickness of the ore
body is not yet known, but two feet
of good ore was showing Friday
night. A highly important feature
of this development is the fact that
it opens the vein some $50 feet west
of the old works, thus showing that
the ore chute is at least $50 feet in
length. What may be still further
west is, of course, problematical,
but it was to the westward of this
poiut in the gulch that the famous
rich boulder was found year or so
ago.
The main tunnel has been driven
100 feet and has cut streak Of
syenite or porphyry, as it is popu-
larly termed. Another of these sye-
mite streaks is found further up the
hill, cutting the vein.
The Statesman has been shown
figures giving the results from a
quantity of ore and concentrates
shipped from the Hidden Treasure
mine to Salt Lake. There was
1894 pounds Of concentrates and
1879 pounds of raw ore. The con-
centrates yielded $S2.62 ton and
the ore $156.54 a ton.
