LITTLE BELL RICH FISSURE
DUNCAN MACVICHIE BONDS
DEEP CREEK MINES.

J. H Bigger returned from the Pitts
burg Consolidated company's property
at Alta Friday night. He went TO the
mine for the special purpose of securing
a few sacks of samples of the zinc ores
which make in such large quantities IN
one of the assures running through the
compapy's ground. This ore is to be
tested by the Western Ore Separating
company at its plant in the northwest
ern portion of the city, and the prOba-
bilities are that during the year ar
rangements viii be made to ship to
those works.
With Mr.. Bigger on the trip was a
man who mined in the property twenty
years ago. He went along to show the
management where, in the lower tunnel
workings, he and his associates had
sunk a Wine sixty feet in a body of ore
the most of which carried such large
percentages Of zinc that 1t did not
then pay to mine it It proved to be
in the same assure that the company
has done considerable work in on the
tunnel level, though the presence Of the
Winze had never been suspected.
Where the company has been mining
the fssure averages about fourteen feet
wide and samples that have been re-
peatedly taken show that the ore Will
average from twelve to eighteen ounces
silver, about 20 per cent lead and close
around 40 per cent zinc, with 81 50 in
gold per ton
According to the man who accom-
panied Mr.. Bigger the full width of the
VEN was never determined in the WINE
workings Sinking was done on the
foot wall side of the vein and, as the
clean lead ores make next to the foot
wall and as the percentage of zinc was
so great outside of the pay streak. the
balance of the ore was never disturbed.
1t was related that earIy-day ASSAYS
showed nearly 80 per cent zinc, with
eight TO fifteen ounces silver. fair per-
centages of lead and oftentimes as high
as $40 in gold The smelterS could not
touch It, however, and the men then
working II did not attempt to go deeper.
As matters stand today" said Mr..
Bigger. 1T seems certain that this ore
can now be handled at fine profit. the
only questions to be considered being
the economical mining and shipping of
the rock While ] am not in d position
10 speak for the company, ii seems to
me that it viii realize the importance
OF these conditions and make il possible
TO handle this ore There must be
thousands of tons of it in the mine and
the company, with present facilities for
dISposlng of IT, can run no possible risk
IN doing the necessary work to get AT
il right"
Mr.. Bigger stated that there was
considerable activity apparent on the
American Fork side Of the camp and he
looks for the liveliest year that section
mas witnessed in many years.

This offer IS made, not be
cause the incOrpOratOrs are
in need of any money, but
because it is the practice of
all mining companies. in

for their securities, and to
provide funds for development
work for property that is
already paid for in cash and
turned over the company
absolutely free of indebted
ness, to sell a limited num-
Der Of shares Of treasury
stock.
The money that will be
realized from the sale of
this stock viii be used for

not believed that it will be
necessary to dispose of any
more shares than those now
offered to provide ample
funds to operate the prop
erty and put the company
