ORE EXTENDS
INTO TWO MINES
Strike Affects Both the Little Bel
and the West Quincy.
FORMER TO RESUME WORK
RICH ROCK FOUND AT DEPTH OF
LOO FEET.

An important development. which
means much 20 the properties in
which it has occurred and to- d
number of neighboring properties in
the same camp, is that III the Little Bell
and the West Quincy, at Park City,
encountered within the past week The
first account of the strike was verified
yesterday by Manager c. d. 3. Turner,
who had just returned from camp and
who has been almost entirely respon-
sible for the work in that property
since the organization of the company
less than two years ago Mr.. Turner
was ret1cent about giving out data,
and did so only because of reports
afioat that might not be accurate.
The lind was made by means of a
tunnel that enters the West Quincy
holdings through the Little Bell
grounds and is LOO feet deep, with
nothing but virgin ground between
that point and the surface. The ore
pody contains silver-lead ores and is
from two TO three feet i'm thickness,
and is In rather irregular form.
From samples taken from this body
the lowest assays have shown per
cent lead, seventy ounces of silver and
y IN gold to the ton, with some cop
per The highest assays have yielded
~ per cent lead, 100 ounces of silver
Found First in Little Bell.
Dec. 1 last the tunnel was started
. from Little Bell ground toward the
west Quincy shaft, with a prospective
length of $3.50 feet. Since that time
the work has progressed without inter-
ruptOn with three shifts a day. and
an average Of practically 300 feet has
been made a month. The equipment
included five drills, with a ten-inch
pipe along the top of the tunnel for
The purpose of ventilation.
The ore body is found in a contact
vein between lime and Ontario quartz
tie This vein was encountered first in
the Little Bell ground. where "A cross
cut was extended through it into the
lime The work was then turned to
recut the vein. The face of the cross
cut Is now i'm the hanging way and
shows the body of ore.
Hopeful for Future.
cross-cut is now being run TO the
qudrtzlte foot wall, and from indica-
tons OF the ore already found and
from conditions prevailing in the camp.
II IS believed that a larger body of
silVer-lead ore will be found The con-
ditions of development in this property
nave been identical with those found
IN the West Quincy's greatest neigh
DORIS, the Silver King, DAILY West and
the DAILY -Juoge. 1t is stated that the
placed
on an equal footing and under similar
conditions by the development made
by this tunnel. This locality is known
as Bonanza Flat" and it's develop
ment viii give an impetus to neighbor-
ing properties and viii be an encour-
agement TO the entire camp. While
the work has been aggressive and
Short-liVed in the West Quincy. the
theory on which IL was performed was
the result of several years ofserva-
ton OF the ground by Mr.. Turner be-
fore he decided to take up this par
ucuiar work. Almost alone he has
financed the concern and planned and
executed the work in accordance with
the theory that is now being demon
Strated.
Manager Scion Spiro of the Little
Bell returned from the camp last even
ing and announced that as a result Of
the strike, work would be resumed i'm
the Little Bell early this week New
ton Dunyon. formerly of the DaTv-
Judge and other properties. will be in
charge
Our surveyors have found that the
main strike is in the Little Bell. said
Mr. Spiro, and we shall go to work
TO open up the ore body. I see no rea-
son why the ore should not be found
IN quantities in the West Quincy also
and 1 hope it is, as there ought to be
plenty for all
