BOSTON CON. ORE is
SHOWING LESS IRON

There have been very important under
ground developments at the Boston Con-
solidated property. 1t will be recalled
that six months ago when the steam
shovels began mining operations it was
found that the ore shipped to the Gar
field smelter carried a high percentage
OF iron. which prevented the concentra-
ton necessary for economical operations
as demonstrated by the Utah Copper
company, says a Boston paper
1t was necessary, as a result, TO stop
shipments of this ore. and since that
time the Boston Consolidated has been
obliged to get all its ores from tunnels
lower down the mountain. This has added
about 30 cents per ton to the mining
costs. and this action also necessitated
the making of a new contract with the
Garfield smelter whereby the Boston
Consolidated would not be penalized for
the iron.
Since that time the mine mana cement
has been continuing explorations in an
endeavor to ascertain to what depth this
iron carried in the ore. An upraise was
run from the Ben Hur tunnel and if is
now but fifty feet below the point where
surface steam shovel operations disclosed
the iron in the ore. The ore at this Doint
is neutral, which is indicative that the
iron is surface deposit under the can
ping. and that as the ore goes into the
mountain, the iron contents are reduced
If this theory proves correct, and de-
VelOpments to date would indicate II is
1t would add millions of tons of neutral
ore 10 the Boston Consolidated deposits

IS now LOCO tons per day and by the

Those in charge of the property OF the

SIOUX CON. MACHINERY
ARRIVES AT THE MINE

A portion OF the new machinery for
the Sioux Consolidateds mine including
the new boiler, arrived the early part of
the week and has been taken to the prop
erty over the new Eureka Hill railway
says the Eureka Reporter. The balance
or the machinery should arrive within
the next few days. The excavating nee
esSary TO install the new machinery is
under way and within a couple of weeks
the new equipment will no doubt be in
use
Superintendent Del Roberts expects to
be able to switch over to the new ma
chinery without closing the mine for more
than one day, and this means that the
output will be kept up TO about a car
load each day while the new hosting
plant is being put in position. After the
new engine is in working order the ton
mage will be increased.
Conditions underground at the Sioux
continue to improve and as result the
stock has been stronger than most of
the other Tintic issues during the past
few weeks.
