TWO FEET OF SOLID ORE.
The Splendid Showing in the Noted
Chloride Claim.

Chloride Claim.
Frisco, Utah, Dec. 6.-The last weeks
work in Beaver Lake district has re-
corded better showings in the Ben IIar-
rison, Copper Mountain and Galena
companies ground, and while the
Beaver Lake Copper and Sllylark re-
port no strikes, indications are as good
as ever in the face of the workings.
A strike of native silver is reported
in the Ben Harrison, but the news can
not be verified at this date. Pieces of
native silver half an inch in diameter
are said to be showing in ore taken out
last week.
President Anderson, of the Galena
company, returned from the district
last night, in the happiest mood he has
ever experienced, due to the showing of
the Chloride claim, which is owned by
the Galena company. Nh Anderson re-
ports two feet of solid galena with an
other foot mixed with waste, and only
one wall determined.
This body Of ore has been stripped
for II feet in depth, and about in
length and has every appearance of
extending in both directions for a long
distance. Mr.. Anderson says the ore
is the cleanest he has ever seen in his
years Of experience as an aSsayer.
Common ore sacks filled with the ore
weigh over 200 pounds each. Assays
run from 10 to so per cent lead and 90
to $50 ounces silver.
Owing TO the disadvantages under
which the men are working, ore eXtrac-
ton is not very rapid, but the officers
of the company are we'll satisfied With
the progress made, knowing that after
openings are made ore can be broken
! down with great raDidity, if the extent
of the body continues.
To show the uncertainties of mining,
one should see the Chloride shaft, Which
was sunk 50 feet, part Of the way upon
/ a smaller parallel vein of ore. Present
developments show the larger vein Was
| only u inches from the side of the shaft
! for the first go or 20 feet.
This ore is supposed to be out of the
! same ledge that crops on the Galena,
and has made that claim so valuable.
| The Ledge is buried her Ween the Hook
shaft on the Galena, and the Chloride
Shaft. but the trend is The same in
both
Thomas Reese has resigned the fore
manship of the Copper Mountain, and
Mr.. Brooks has been appointed to
the place. Mr.. Reese states that the
! property looked better Than it ever had
when he left it. y drift had been run
20 feet west from the shaft, and the
entire face is in ore. The shaft has
been sunk % feet deeper, With a show
ing of red oxide of copper in the bot
tom.
The drift in the Beaver Lake Copper
| company's ground is to be continued
until the large vein outcTOpping near
] the mouth of the shaft, is encountered
There is a small showing of ore in the
| face of the drift now, while the bottom
of the shaft shows the vein from which
the 16-ounce silver assay was recently
obtained.
