the 900 level the condition on the i,400
level gives, perhaps, the biggest prom
| Use for the future OF anything in the
mine. The developments on this level
are OF much interest because the great
en- part OF the work has been done this
year. After running rs feet In a
westerly direction the vein was inter-
cepted. At this point and east OF
the Intersection q very good drade OF
milling ore is now being stopped. The
stope is now about fifty feet above the
400 level In passing 10 might be said
that the best ore bodies in the mine lie
west Of the crosscut from the shaft, or
In the direction Of the Anchor lines.
Some good bodies Of silver ore lie east
the point where the Crosscut from the
shaft intersects the vein, but the mill
Is not prepared to handle that class Of
ore at present, consequently the great
est attention is being given 20 the west
end, For a distance Of I COO feet a drift
has been run west on the vein from the
crOssCut on the lowest level. In that
distance four chutes OF ore have been
cut through. The first three are not
very large but 10 Is believed that they
VIII develop into large proportions with
depth The last chute has now been
cut through a distance Of $50 feet. Moth
ing Is known as 10 the width OF the ore
body for no prosecuting has yet been
done 10 is believed. however, that II
win open up big. The ore Is OF very
good grade. though most Of Il may be
called first class milling ore. Connec-
ton was recently made with a Wine
from the 900 level, and the drift Is be-
ing pushed in ore towards the Anchor
lines which are between 800 and 600 feet
distant s Wine has been started from
the 100 level near the crosscut 1t Is
also the intention 20 sink on the big ore
chute west on the 49,
All OF the shipping ore extracted Is
raised or lowered 20 the / 200 level as
med 90 the big shed az the mouth Of the
tunnel "a miles away. This shed is
about 40 feet long and the ore Is drop
ped from the mine cars 10 a floor feet
lower This floor is about Is feet wide
and Us on a level with the floors OF the
railroad cars which are run into the
building close 10 the ore floor. This
prevents storms interfering with the
loading OF ore and makes Il also quite
economical.
The milling ore Is all hoisted to the
surface and goes 10 the mill which IS
similar to the Silver King, except In It's
treatment OF shines il consists Of a
crusher two sets Of rolls. two Hunting
ton mills and fourteen Wiley tables
A good extraction Is made and the con-
centrates uniformly assay about 30 per
cent lead, 4j 20 80 ounces silver, Sll0
In gold with 2ia TO 3 per cent copper
All OF the DAILY West ores contain zinc
The shipping ore carries about 20 per
cent which is the penalty limit The
mill ore carries from 10 to II per cent
or this amount two tons Of concentrates
daily are stored which carry 80 per cent
zinc with 40 10 IS ounces silver. BY
thus extracting some OF the zinc an1
shipping equal lots Of concentrates and
crude ore the penalty is avoided.
The future OF the DAILY West appears
very. roseate. After being opened by
John Mcsorley under Mr.. j. j, Days
direction II Is fast developing into one
OF the biggest bonanZas in the West
under Superintendent John A. Klrby's
MANAGEMENT. Its reserves are now very
large and in the hands OF the present
sklllful and careful management II Is
not a very uncertain guess 20 say that
the company will increase It's dividend
10 30 cents per share next year
THE ONTARIO,
The great Ontario OF Park City with |
IFS dividend record OF nearly $4,000 |
900. closes the year 1900 with little |
change In its condition as compared |
with 1899 During the first ten months |
OF the year, or up TO oct. Slst 1850 |
tons OF ore had been mined. The output |
for November and December will IN |
crease this amount some $500 tons. OF ;
this amount about 1880 tons Of ore |
have been treated this year In the Mar
sac min, which was fitted up In the be-
ginning Of the year for the treatment OF /
the ontario ores. The first run was
made early In February. and since then
the above amount has been put /
through. The ore contains about forty
ounces Ia silver per ton on an average,
besides a little gold.
The company has sold 20 the shelters
about 500 tons Of ore during tho year,
some Of which was on hand previously.
The sales OF crude ore up 10 Sept 30th
amounted 20 ti35.oO0 in round numbers.
and the sales Tor the year are estimated
az NsLoo0. Conditions AZ tse mine are
about as usual Most OF the ore ex-
uaeted has come from the l,leo 10 1900
