The company has also acquired the
York and Copperheld groups, also pro-

than 5000 tons of first class ore. The
formation in these properties consists
largely Of the quartzlte lime and por-
phyry combination. so general in the
camp, and the ore mined is galena,
lead carbonates and chalco pyrites,
The highest bedded vein ON Utah
Apex ground is in the York, which has
yielded its riches in galena or silver
lead bearing ore in general, Little at
tention was paid to copper until re-
cent years. however, this zone is yet
undeyelOped but Is expected to cut an
important figure i'm the future.
Under the York, at a vertical depth
Of about $50 feet Is the Parnel bed,
palallelling the former In strike and
dip, 1t is in this he'd that the High
land Boy Consolidated conducted its
principal development work, In the
meantime this bed was being developed
by the Utah-ApeN and, before consoli-
daton the two companies had blocked
out great amount of ore. Copper pre-
dominates here, with some attending
values In silver and lead. In the Par
nell and SmilaX tunnel workings
ore has been developed to the extent
that a body is shown to be 800 feet
deep, 600 feet wide, with an average Of
three feet IN thickness, of silver and
gold bearing copper ore carrying a high
percentage Of iron, in all about 100000
tons, OF the typical Bingham pyrltic
smelling ore. Near the center of this
ore chute the values run higher In gold
than any other ore body of the same
character In the district. The Western
boundary Of this ore chute has not, as
yet, been reached, but it probably ex-
tends from 100 TO 200 feet further, to
what Is known as the Louisa hssure.
