Seven mouths ago il was current talh
that tho glory hole tale deposit con,
tanned only few more tons OF ore, ana
that in q few weeks, If 1t were drawn
upon for tonnage for the mill, the taic
body would be exhausted and the Sho-
shoue glory hole would become n tninG
of the past, saws the Rhyolite Herald.
Al! these months, a portion OF the
tonnage for the big mill, which IS now
working about 440O tons mouth, mas
been drawn from the glory hole, ana
vet today there is more ore broken at
this point and more orc actually eNpoSca
and IN sight than ever before IN ING
history of the famous property. InStead
of decreasing with steady drainage,
tho available ore NJ the glory hole Is
gradually increasing. This is due 70
the fact that the exploration work III
progress is showing up an ore BODY OF
such magnitude that the old glory hole
Of early days is an infant IN comparl'
son.
Out TO the west. out TO the cast ana
out TO the south. from where the firsI
raise broke through the surface from
the tunnel level, the dimensions OF the
tale ore body have been extended. ana
even with the extensive quarrylng from
three sides the extent of the deposit mas
not been determined in any direction
width. or in depth. An approximate
estimate upon the size Of the tale ore
body. indicated by the surface work
aud the work on the 2OO'toot level
gives an exposed length of 800 feet, an
exposed width from 40 10 100 feet and
an exposed depth OF nearly 200 feet'
or 10 the 200 level, which Is not quite
200 feet below the surface,
Above the original tunnel level the
glory hole is about 80 feet 10 width at
its narrowest point. and ut the tun'
mel level. where the big machine drlls
have been breaking down great duan'
titles OF the ore. the glory hole Is fully
100 feet in width, with sold face OF
orc from the level TO surface, from -
TO 100 feet. Should the glory hole tale
body continue TO the 200 level, Win inc
same immense dimensions as now lndl'
Gated, the tonnage would be enormous,
and man with a lead pencil could fig
ure enough ore from this point TO Keep
the big mill grinding for years. TO be
conservative, the man with the lead
pencil should not try any stunts at TINS
writing, for tho figures would not be
bcGevable.
Development work continues Oh the
several levels in the mine. The raise
between the 600 and 800 levels Is M
about so feet. and until this raise is
completed lateral work below will be
discontinued, the air being bad. The
raise IS cutting through . low-grade
lc-ouartz body, which IS very wet
aud sticky. and which is not available
now for treating owing TO IFS wet con
dition and the spotted values shown.
The rich ore In this tale is expected to
be developcd 10 the west toward the
Polaris and Montgomery Mountain. the
values having increased with drifting
IN that direction.
One of tho new tanks from tho en-
larpcment of the cyanide end OF the
milling plant has arrived and the ioun'
dation has been laid. The tank will be
40 by ) feet. There are about 1000
tons Of orc broken III the mine ready
for milling.
