Former Manager CLAUS Jeldness of
the Ely Consolidated company is in
Salt Lake en- route from Ely to his
home in Spokane, and in the local
Offices of this company Tuesday nc was
able to give out some information
that was news even 10 the local
officials. Mr.. Jeldncss brought with
him from the property some extremely
fine samples Of ore, and that occasion
ing the surprise was from the Iacll
shaft, At a depth Of from 3I5 to $50
feet In this working the management
has encountered large lunches of cop
per glance, and the assays show it
to contain magnificent red metal
values. Mr., Jeldness states that while
this copper glance occurs in lunches
1t occurs IN the porphyry, and should
lead TO something of a decidedly sub.
stantial nature, Although this charac.
ter of ore has been found for several
days, no intimation Of it had been sent
A.. TO the Salt Lake office Of the company.
Mr, Jcldness speaks extremely opti~
mlstically over the prospects ahead
of the Ely Consolidated company. 1t
has, he states, and beyond all doubt,
one of the great mines of the
famous mOnzonite zone, and he feels
that in laying aside his charge of the
property he has kept every promise
to the company when he first took hold
And in turning the property over
Jeldness generously considers that the
change is for the best, Owing 10 his
numerous Ely interests, however, he
states that he will spend much Of his
time there IN The future, and will
watch the Ely Consolidated grow with
great deal Of interest.
From now on. states Mr. Jeldness
the management will have more leisure
time to prospect the surface more
thoroughly. The showing on the Ris-
ing Sun claim has been known for
meEt was to tap the Rising Sun re-
sources at depth from a cross-cut to be
sent that way from the depths of
the American shaft This plan was
abandoned for the present. and the
company started to drive a shaft upon
the ore itself. The result is well
known, and from three to four feet of
ore has been exposed that will
average over p per cent copper 1t
IS from lnlS character or rock that
the shipments soon to be made will be
composed,
There is great surface showing on
the Rising Sun property. states Mr..
Jeldness, and the samples of the rock
containing malachitc and azurite look
more like the 4eringtou ores than
those heretofore known as coming from
Ely. Mr., Jcldness says that there is
every indication present TO show that
this orc will lead TO sulphide ore
bodies with depth, and the sulphlde
zone will be gained as fas. as the work
can proceed. The shaft now is down
about forty feet, The American. Zaclk
and the Brilliant shafts all are in
sulphide ore, and Nh, Jeldness stated
that the latter had been in the
sulphIdes for 20c feet He is in every
way. pleased with the present physical
condition of the property.
The camp of Ely in general, he
states, is constantly improving. There
is great deal of activity on all sides.
and great many companies arc de-
veloping ground supposed at first to
be beyond the mineralizcd zone. These.
or many of them, states Mr.. Jeldness,
bid fair TO be productive Of splendid
results.
