Central, IN modern improvements anC
requirements. Anticipating early in
the year the advisability of sinking q
perpendicular shaft. no further prog
ress was made in the $50 incline. The
ore output for the year was both great
er and more valuable than that OF
1898, and it is generally known that the
company's ground is in most excellent
shape.
EMERALD.
Having the undivided personal at
tention of Milton L. Oglesby, no other
property in Tintic has been more intel
ligently, industriously and economically
developed than the Emerald. The total
amount of development work, including
two shafts, tunnels, drifts and diamond
drill holes. is $500 feet, of which about
1000 feet have been done this calendar
year. OF this latter, $50 feet was done
on the 700 level, $50 feet on the 600 level
and the balance on the 500 level a
fault has been developed on the 400 and
500 levels, which causes displacement
of the ledge of over 300 feet east and
west, and also a nortberly thrust OF
400 feet. This fault lies north of the
shaft On the 400 level both ends of
the ledge have been uncovered, and
considerable quartz found in the south
end from which assays have been OBJ
the 500 level both ends have been found
also. but the quartz on the south end
disclosed less values than that on the
4Q0-foot level. In the north end, how
ever, channel has been struck which
is over 400 feet long and at least 100
feet wide, in which some very good
quartz is being found in small pockets,
and which is being prospected very
thoroughly, as ii is very promising in
appearance. On the 600 level only the
south end has been uncovered. A body
of quartz was found larger than those
above, carrying better values, which is
being thoroughly developed. On the 700
level it will require 500 feet of drifting
to locate the north channel of the 500
level. To avoid this > winze is being
sunk from the 500, which will be pro-
vided with a donkey hoist and pushed
to as great a depth as required, levels
being broken at intervals SO as to
prospect the channel thoroughly. The
company is provided with good en-
CINE, has a cage and cars, air COM
pressor and drills, and well-equipped
assay office. Underground work is con-
stantly surveyed and mapped SO that
any point may be quickly determined,
and work calculated. ahead.
The Grand Central folks awoke one
morning and found they had a mine.
The Emerald people are working in
identicaliy the same kind of ledge mat
Ger, SO much so, that the best informed
geologist and mineralogist in the world
could not distinguish the difference, be-
cause it does not exist.
PICNIC.
This ground was originally located
as the Junction, so called. presuma bly,,
because it was believed that the Swan
sea, Park and Four Aces veins con-
verged at a certain point within the
boundary lines. The. Picnic has rec
ord for 1899 of working every shift in
the year, and performing a lot of in
telligent development Operations are
carried on through an incline shaft
sunk to a depth of $50 feet. Several
crosScuts and drifts have been run,
the most extensive ones being two from
the 600-foot level, each comprising a
length exceeding 600 feet. Both were
driven to encounter veins. the one rum
ming westerly was pursued with a, view
of locating the Swansea ledge, and the
one southeaSterly was driven to tap
the Park vein, which was accomplished
during the month of October, at a dis
lance of els feet from the station. Work
in other portions of the mine has prac-
tically been suspended, for the purpose
of concentrating. every effort towards
opening an ore chute. The Silver Park
vein is large, strong and heavily min
eraliZed throughout. Drifts are being
worked both north and south on the
vein, With the most encouraging re-
suits. Occasionally small seams of lead
ore and iron pyrites have been found,
the occurrence becoming more frequent
and the values increasing from day to
day. The conditions are more than
favorable; they are confirming almost
inevitably that ore bodies may appear
on any shift. Messrs. Buchanan. Ford
and Waters, three officers of the COM
pany, have devoted every moment of
their time to the best interests of the
Picnic. Lying as the property does,
practically hemmed in by the Swan
sea, Four Aces and Silver Park, it
would appear impossible to obtain more
likely ground in the Silver City end.
THE CLEOPATRA.
This property is located in the very
heart of the town of Silver City Dur
ing the summer and fall of 1898 a per-
pendiculars shaft was put down to a
depth of 200 feet. when all operations
were suspended pending the action for
government, patents. In the summer Of
1899 work was resumed and the vertical
shaft was sunk to a depth of 3S5 feet
and q crosscut run to the vein believed
to be the Silver Park. Drifting is now
being conducted under the manage
ment of Clarence E. Allen, assisted by
John A. Bard, with most encouraging
results. Scattering ore of a hard, car
Donate character has been frequent >
encountered. The company is equipped
with a thoroughly good steam hoist
capable of doing service to a depth of
! 900 feet.
