The Sunbeam Mining company, OPP
Grating in Tintic district on the fam
Gus Sunbeam ledge, had a carload of
ore on the market yesterday, which was
submitted to the consideration of ore
buyers on control assays showing val
ues of 11.2 per cent copper, 20 per cent
lead, As ounces silver and 81 in gold
to the ton, and it is anticipated by the
company that a similar consignment
will reach the city within the next ten
days.
This shipment of good ore was taken
from the stope ON the $50 level some
distance north of tin shaft, from which
considerable metallic wealth has been
extracted during the past six months,
and While this depojit has been seem
ingly nearly eXhauS ed, the officers of
the company are Ill excellent spirits
over the fact that another discovery
of importance has be Ell made of late,
which promises to opt n up into body
of shipping ore which will enable the
organization to reach paying basis.
This new find was m ade on WedneS-
day of this week in "a crosScut from
the drift about $50 feet north of the
Slope of ore already alluded to. The
crOsscut was run through barren rock
for a distance of about ten feet, when
a parallel ledge was di scloSed in which
a body of solid ore Wasy uncovered, the
pay streak being a 70 OF wide in the
bottom of the croSScut and two feet
wide in the roof, the min eral being SIM
liar in appearance to tn at which COM
prised the shipment above mentioned,
but as no assays have been made as
yet, the value of the new find has not
been fully established, but the indica-
tions are that the deposit is a perma-
nent one and that it viii gain in size
