AS regards that portion Of the lime
belt lying south Of. and between the
Work and Phoenix tunnels develop
ment there has been productive Of
good results. We have opened in this
territory am ore body OF very great
extent, comprising a practically differ
ent deposit from those shown In the
main channels prior 10 last year.
This ore has now been determined in
the Nevada and Hustle slopes, reveal
Ing q volume measuring $50 feet IN
length and OF an average thickness Of
about ~ feet. The development along
the dir has extended for nearly l2O
feet. Where developed this body shows
values above The average grade Of the
mine In the Utah stOpe lying above
the Work and extending toward the
Phoenix there has been a great i'm
proyemeint within the last few months,
the ore having increased TO 90 feet IN
thickness. The boundaries OF this body
are not yet determined.
THE new Colorado Slopes gives
promise Of being one OF the largest
bodies found 10 the mine. The grade Is

upon us by the Bingham Consolidated
Smclter which lacked capacity to ham
