The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1901-01-03

At one time, in all likelihood, this
point was at or near the mouth of a
great cavern.
In the case Of the Cancv. NV he s,
p, 81, the showing is in loose
ground, carrying lead, si!icate of
zinc. and ONYX. 1t is ground which,
peculiarly calls for body silicates or
carbonates. An examination in fact
OF ali properties i'll the rounds dem
ons,rates that only little work
would be necessary to show up good
carbonaIes and siiicates.
The Rebecca. INV Sc 81, 22, 81,
csrries the characteristic ores and
rock of The Z ma Lee property before
described. The underlying forma-
ton for depth of one hundred feet
is. however, IN this case exposed i'm
run of mineral The locality is no.
!iccable also for II continuation of
| the Claveuger exposure, or in other
words we have here the tact exempli-
fled OF mineral series of one hundred
feet in place continuing uninterrupt-
edly through the width of mount
ain range one-half mile, and half
| mile of which in length was traced

The showing OH the Jake Branch
property, north half Sc ne 35 aud sw
Sc 26, %, %, is in brecciated lime
and fiat rock showing both lead and
| Jack. Though only few shots have
| been put in the bed of small drain
artery it is seen at a glance that the
! finder knew his business when fixing
upon the spot rs good orc pros
property, and the discovery Ofits ore
| bearing has come from the hard licks
practical men pay for their mining
experience and Judgment. Other
parts Of the property were visited
with favorable conCiusi OH as to their
value. At one point IS TO so feet
above the first point or at the head
OF the branch were opened, a few
shots show that the deposit on the
Jake Branch continues even that
much higher on the mountain slope
A third point on the Long creek
side of the prospect, break down
or loosened ground, showed on the
out-crop good promise Of carbon
ates in quantity. No considerable
work has been done. aud the wonder
of it is that novices should have tax
en- III the situation quite as crcditably
as experts; for it is not common
experience to climb a mountain side
and from similarity as universal al

Tbc J. Z. Mccormick property
south half Of lot l, so, % II, was
visited for the purpose of confirming
the idea of IL continuous or horizon
tai plane of ore through the mount
ain. The Mccormick carries al
opening on tile same plane and III tht

distant one half mile on an opposite
side of the mountain along which iii
ores occur. Thus establishing th'
certainty OF continual ore level 10'
feet thick through the mountain; ant

expected to obey the same law
