BLACK ROCK COPPER
ORE RUNNING HIGH
Beaver County Mine Giving Re-
suits of Great Merit
With Depth.

Good news is coming from Beaver
county at this time so faithfully that
little else is expected III local cir
cleS, and little surprise will be oc-
casioned by the announcement by Wal
ter James, manager of the Black Rock
company, that the mine under his
charge is showing mp some very fine
copper. silver and gold ore In fact,
the Black Rock is one Of the Beaver
county properties whose former de-
velopmcnts already have established the
standing of the property. ii being gen
orally conceded that additional eXplora-
tlon only was needed TO place this
mine in the front ranks of Beaver
properties. Mr.. James brought 30 the
local othces of the company Saturday
some very handsome specimens of ore
now being encountered upon the 160-
foot level,
About month ago the Black Rock
management ran into an extremely rich
body of ore ou what Is known as the
South Drift On the above level. This
body WAS found tc average eighteen
inches in width, with values running
we'll up to 5000 per ton, On the North
Drift on the same level the manage
meut mas encountered upon the same
vein another body cf ore which gives
equally as high values, and which is
fourteen inches wide on the average,
The management has drifted this body
twenty-five feet Mr.. James states that
this recent development was not expecte
this recent development was not eX-
pccted by the officials of the company,
nevertheless it is appreciated by them
TO the fullest extent.
Being reasonably assured Of the con-
tinuity of this vein with depth, the
management is sinking TO the next
level, and when it is reached no time
this vein. In two of the older work
ings on the Black Rock some rich
copper values were encountered. and
the management will now begin dill
gently to develop these at lower levels.
Mr. James is entirely satisfied with
the results of his operations for the
year. He will be in the city for sew
e.Rl DAYS.
