WHITE ROCK SHAFT
REACHES THE ORE

Quite a number of Salt Lake men are
interested in the White Rock lease on the
January property, at Goidfield. Ii will
be welcome news TO them to know that
when work was ordered stopped on the
18th of the present month. pending the
settlement of the labor troubles at camp,
ii was apparent that ore had been en-
counteTed.
The last thing done in the shaft, which
has attained a depth of 30 feet" said +
II. Mead yesterday, was to fire "A round
of holes that had been previously drilled
and loaded by the miners employed. Ma
teTial from the drill holes indicated that
"A cross-fissure had been encountered AMI
that ore was in sight The shift was
ready to quit when the shots were fired
and no one has been down the shaft since
sc is the belief OF meu who Know TIE
ground that the bottom of the White Rock
shaft is now in the regular Florence ore
bearing channel and it will be surprising
if big strike is not quickly made after
work is resumed
Mr. Mead states that the new fifty-hOrse
power hoist was working like d charm
when the agreement of operators made it
necessary to close down, and no property
i'm the camp. he says is in better shape
to make record than Is the White Rock
Leasing company right now.

HEIHzE EXPERT
At SILVER KING
President of Company Returns
from Camp Leaving Duncan
MacViChie Underground.
KEITH HAS NOTHING TO SAY
PENDING MEETING CALLED FOR
APRIL 10.

President David Keith, of the Silver
King company, returned from camp
wednesday night, leaving Captain Dun
can MacVichie. of the Heinze engineer
ing staff, at the mine. Mr.. Keith stated
during the day that there was nothing at
all concerning the affairs of the King
company, or the proposed consolidation
that he could discuss at this time He
admitted that Captain MacVichie was at
the properties of the King company. but
ne would not discuss the purposes of his
visit.
On the tenth of the coming month the
shareholders Of the Silver King company
VIII meet at Park City to discuss and vote
upon the plan Of proposed consolidation or
merger that has been outlined In a letter
10 the King stockholders and made pub
lie several days ago. Until that meeting
is held, Mr.. Keith states there is abso-
lutely nothing that can be said concern
ing the future of the properties involved.
1t is believed, however, that the Heinze
interests are figuring on becoming prOm-
nently identified with the big absorbing
company and that Engineer MacViChie's
present inspection Of the properties is be
ing made for the purpose of checking up
on reports that have been made by mem
bers of the HeinZe staff on former Occa-

AND lNG0T PROPERTIES

General Manager George H. Dern of
the Mercur Consolidated mines and mills.
and under whose direction the develop
ment of the IngOt cOmpany'S property 5
10 be prosecuted. was IN the city yesteT-
day He states that the Consolidated
Mercur is now handling a fine tonnage q
gold ore in its great milling plant, fol-
lowing four months or more of miXed-up
conditions. due to fuel shortage, damage
by fire and other things and cireum-
stances that could neither be foreseen or
avoided. The month of March is going TO
prove a good one in the matter OF sgOld
production and the outlook for the rest of
the year is most promising.
When ne got ready to begin operations
at the Ingot a few days ago, it was found
that a cave-in had occurred in the shaft
at a depth of about 100 feet below the sur
face where there is a stretch of swelling
ground. 1t will require about two weeks
to catch this bad ground up and put the
shaft in first-class trim for steady work.
Then development work Will begin IN
earnest. Mr. DeTn will return TO camp

EAGLES NEST PROPERTY
Is OPENING UP WELL

Fairview, New, March 2S-The cross-cut
on the Eagles Nest vein hit the hanging
wall today. The vein proves to be TWEEN
ty-six feet wide. A conservative sample
has been taken across the entire twenty
six feet. including ledge filling, low
grade. medium grade, high grade and all,
and the average values obtained are $50
per ton.
over six feet of the ore will ship As
says from selected rock go into the thou
sands. .E-EST
Sorting of the ore on the dump has
been commenced and sacking begun for
early shipment.
The ore being hoisted to the surface
shows that much teaching has taken place
and also disclOses the presence of sui
phur. Mining experts who have examined
the property today declare that when the
sulphide zone is reached, the values will
be found to be infinitely higher. As it is
IF the values disclosed at the present level
thirty-five feet. of over $50 per ton for the
entire tWenty-siX feet of the VEIN do not
increase a faTthing at depth the mine
Will still class as one Of the greatest mill
ing propositions in the state Angus Nc
Auly. superintendent Of the Eagles Nest
announced today that he would start
sinking on the vein Immediately to gain
more depth.
All work is now centered in the No.
shaft. In the No. 4 shaft, only 100 feet
away. eight feet of this vein, mostly
shipping ore, was opened up over six
weeks ago. The pitch and trend of the
vein and the formation indicated that
on the spot where the No 2 shaft is now
being sunk the vein would prove to he
wider. and development work thus far
proves that this theory was correct 1t is
apparent that from 400 TO 600 feet of this
vein penetrates Eagles Nest ground and
that the vein continues on through Hall
stone ground for an equal or greater dis
lance All Fairview is agog over the
strike. During the past fOrty-eight hours
upward of 300 visitors have been shown
through the workings of the Eagles Nest
and Hailstone by Superintendent Nc
Auly.
