Seven months ago il was current
talk that the glory hole tale deposit
contained only few more tons of
ore and that in a few weeks, ii it
were drawn upon for tonnage for
the mill. the tale body would be
exhausted and the Sboshone glory
hole would become a thing OF the
mast. SAYS the Rhyolite Herald.
All these months a portion OF the
tonnage for the big mill. which Is
now working about 400 tons
month. has been drawn from the
glorv hole. and yet there is more ore
broken al this point and more ore
actually exposed and in sight than
ever before in the history of this
great property. Instead OF deereas-
ing with a steady drainage, the avail
able ore AZ the glory hole is gradually
Increasing. This Is due 10 the fact
that the exploration work IN progress
Is showing UP an ore body Of such
magnitude That the old glory hole
of early days Is an infant in conf
parison.
out 10 the west. OUT TO the east
and out 10 the south. from where
he first raise broke through the sur
face from the tunnel level. the dimen-
sions of the tale ore body have been
extended. and even with the extensive
auarying from three sides the extent
of the deposit has not been determin-
ed in any direction from the fault
line. either In length or width, or In
depth. An approximate estimate up
# "a
dicated by the surface work and the
work on the 200-foot Level, gives an
exposed length of 300 feet, an eX-
posed width from 40 10 100 feet and
an exposed depth of nearly 200 feet,
or TO the 200 level, which is not
quite 200 feet below the surface.
Above the original tunnel level the
glory hole Is about so feet in width
at its narrowest point. and at the
tunnel level. where the big machine
drills have been breaking down great
quantities of the ore, the glory hole
Is fully 100 feet In width. with a
solid face Of ore from the level "a
surface. from - 10 100 feet.
Should the glory hole tale body con-
tinue TO the 200 foot level. with the
same immense dimensions as now In
dicated. the tonnage would BE- enor-
nous. and a man with a lead pencil
could figure enough ore from this
point 10 keep the big mill grinding
for years. To be conservative. the
man with the lead pencil should not
try any stunts at this writing. for
the figures would not be believable.
Development work continues on
the several levels In the mine. The
raise between the 600 and 800 levels
Is up about so feet. and until this
raise is completed lateral work below
