Permanence of Ore Resources
Determined By This Late
Development.

The developments of Monday on the
property Of the New Stockton Mining
company have attracted the attention
of local circles rs nothing else for some
time past. 1t has been known in sort
OF way that this organization was
pegging away upon their possessions in
the Oqnirrh range, but the significance
Of the New Stockton work has not been
fully appreciated. There is little doubt
now but what the developments on the
10o0-foot level will surpass anything
tho company has had heretofore, and

Inc New stockton management new"
er HAS uoubLeu the cunulnuICy oI ores
as greater depths were obtained upon
the group. IueIr confluence was unnm"
iueu, as Is shown by the great amount
OF dead Work accomplished before
reaching the 1U00-toot level and plac-
ing tnis level in shape for exploration
dead work that now Is fully compen-
sated for, but results always speak more
eloquently to the world, and these re-
suits now tell their own story
1t is known that at the thousand-foot
station the management ran into con-
siderable ore, but this was found in no
well-defned shoot. Nothing was said
about this condition, as the manage
ment preferred to find the body itself.
The management consequently has been
driving west until the north and south
assure was reached, and the assure WAS
drifted upon until the ore shoot was
caught, the first of the week. When last
heard from this working had penetrat-
ed for distance of over five feet into
ore that will run anywhere from $50 to
$50 per ton.
Considerable work is being done on
the l000-foot level of the mine at this
time, and it is work from which the
very best results may be expected dur
ing the rest of this year, The company
is running two crosscuts north on this
low level, one directly from the east
station and the other from the crosscut
ont Of the west station, the objective
points being about 200 feet apart.
Ihen two more crosscuts are being run,
one TO the northeast to catch the Leop-
ard shoot on this l000foot level, which,
on the S50-foot level, was sixteen and a
half feet in width, and being about
half shipping and half milling ore. The
other crosseut Is being directed to the
southeast to catch the Wildcat vein,
which has never been opened, but which
gives many indications of producing
better results than any other portion
of this great property.
Manager Trenam states that the mill
is running full capacity, each hour of |
the day being utilized in feeding this
plant with ores from the upper levels.
The encountering of so much shipping
ore on the lower levels of the mine will
now make this mill a mere auxiliary in
placing the treasury of the company in
a prosperous condition, and the market. |
ing of frst-class ore will soon at
tain lne most generous proportions,
Those who are familiar with the |
New Stockton company and its prop
erty,, and who are not interested in
that organization, arc not slow in
pronouncing the 1O0O-foot level devei-
opments in the mine as among the most
important of the year in mining in
Utah.
