An Assnyer's Figures ON the Ore
Crown Point strike.
In Its weekly write up the Park
Record SPEAKS highly OF the gold strike
IN the Constellation AMI says that
developments made on toe ground
ofthe Constellation Mining company
within the past two weeks have eslat-
lished the fact beyond controversy
that an iodepenueDt goid.learinR
quartz belt runs through Uintah nit
ing district from ,ast to west. II mas
been known for years that u
heavy quartz ledge existed ia
the Conelellatlon ground nut until
q week or ten days ago 1t was not
thought to carry any values, no work
having been done upon 1t. About two
weeks ago the company set couple
OF men to work sinking u shalt on this
ledge, and the fret assays obtained on
picked samples ran as high as Sal In
gold and ten ounces in silver, Yester.
day a req reseDtative OF the Record
visited the ground IN person ana H.
spected the new strike. The point at
which the shaft 10 being sunk is about
TOO feet south OF the Constellation
hoist, and not more than 1000 feet In
o southeasterly direction from the
Ontario mill. Tho shaft has reached
vertical depth Of 90 feet, nll the way
in ledge matter. The vein ic five ieet
wide, ami dips to the north at IN angie
OF about SO degrees. Both the hanging
and foot walls are quartzlte. The pay
streak Ia on the hanging wall, is all OF
two feet in width, and grows wider
with depth. 1t 10 q brown, dec0mpOsed
quartz. The ledge can be traced for
several thousand feet east from the
Constellation, and there Ia not the
aiigbtest question that 1t Ia the same
one that has attained such magnif.
cent proportions in the Silver King.
Not satisfied TO take the void OF inter-
ested parties concerning the assay
value OF the new discovery, the
Record man procured a general sam pie
from the two-foot!s trenk and handeI 1t
to +. A. Bird for assay, with the fol.
lowing result:
