Mines and Mining Stocks

the Yellow Metal fraction OF the COM
pany is d true fissure vein lying be
tween the rhyOlite and granite. and a
contact like this means big things in this
district. Parks has got high values from
the groupings, but he has not yet had
the time to do any development work on
the lead. II is the opinion of the general
manager that he will get lots of high
Veins and this viii make 1t worth while
to mine the low grade. A vein fifty-elSnt
feet wide. carrying s. a ton. would be a
proposition worth while in any man :
country. There has not been stick of
timber bought for the mine. the wood
from the Juniper trees being pressed into
service This is quite an item in mining
in this district with lI'-7' worth $45 or
more per 1909 feet. ng has been
done in good workn q H. manner.
Hero-NeVada Development.
The Hero-Nevada Mines company has
also three veins crossing its ground. and
that they will get a junction of all three
there Is little doubt o. =. Corners. gen.
eral manager of the mine. is an old Utah
man, and one who has seen service in
Cripple Creek. On the Little Hero they
have driven a tunnel into the east and
west vein and have stopped forty feet to
the surface and sunk winze forty feet
below the tunnel level. making a depth
on the vein of eighty feet. In this there
are thirty inches of ore that goes from
$25 10 $50 a ton.
A shaft has been sunk on the same
claim to a depth of fifty rect. and at the
bottom OF the incline they have eighteen
inches of ore that will average $3.50 a ton.
There is high grade streak in this
which carries 65 ounces in gold and consid-
cradle in silver. Most OF the ore in that
portion of the district occurs in sulphide
form. the suIphdes being of silver. An
other shaft on the side line of the Little
Hero and the Wildcat claims follows an
incline down 200 feet, with levels at the
SO-toot mark and at the end of the shaft.
Drifts have been run north and south
on the vein at both levels. and SO to SD
ore abounds all through
Plenty of Ore for New Mill.
Mr.. Corners has considerable ore sacked
and stored in the tunnel. n short time
ago he was going to ship his higher
grade: then the custom mill of the Lon
don syndicate became a reality, and he
is holding the ore pending arrangements
with the mill. He says that If terms are
satisfactory he can furnish the mill with
200 tons a month. He knows just what
his ore goes every day, too. He has an
assay shop on the ground, and il is
pretty busy little shop.
Adjoining the Wildcat claim on the east
is the Snowflower, on which not great
deal of work has been done, but on which
there will be in the future for on Mon
day last while trenching on the ledge
an assay was made returning $3.50 a ton.
To the west of the Little Hero and the
Santa Rita lies the ground of the Seven
Troughs Caesar company. Here they
have opened up three lodges by shaft and
tunnel. and on the surface above one
of the tunnels they have opened up
seam of from four TO six inches which
return assays from 500 to $3.50 a ton.
These are but a few of the mines IN
that part of the Seven Troughs; and there
to develop some of the big producers of
the district.
