The Superior company has decided to
advance the lower crosscut tunnel
northerly for the purpose of cutting a
lead silver vein appearing on the hill
above. That Vein has been opened by
crosscuts and shallow shafts. The
deepest shaft is about twenty-five feet
deep. The vein is evidently a contact
one. The northern or hanging wall is
silusian lime. holding a heavy sheet
of pure quartz, Spangled with galena.
The foot wall is. porphyretic SpiSt. The
vein stuff is a lead carbonate, a golden
yellow color, carrying cubes of galena.
The vein strikes south forty west. dips
north aobut 60 degrees. Dick Smith
has charge of the operations at the
mine and has the past week advanced
the lower tunnel some twenty feet into
The porphyretic foot wall of the upper
vein. The Superior's notice for patent
has been duly posted during the week
