Fine Values Come in on Hanging
Wall Side Of Second Vein.

Ore carrying 40 per cent lead, IS ounces
silver and + per cent copper was encoun-
tered in the second ledge opened in the
Odin COmpany's property at Park City on
Monday. The cross-cut was then ap-
preaching the hanging wall side of the
thirty-foOt vein, where it was expected
the ore would begin to make, unless the
shoot exposed in surface workings was
missed entirely
It was stated a few days ago that the
company had caught the second vein in
its tunnel workings and that the ledge
matter was highly mineTaliZed. The news
that the ore is now coming in makes It
apparent that the calculations OF the man
agement were drawn on a correct under
standing of conditions and that a first
