MINING REPORT
To the Hypotheek Mining Co.,
Mr. o. Quay, Mgr
At the of your President Mr. O. Quay visited your
Hypoheek Mine situated about miles from Kingston Shoone
Idaho for the purpose looking property general
and its 50oot level in particular and render my opinion
thereon.
Aer noting the groupings the workings the vein in the
and lower levels we'll the wall rocks do hesitate
the Hypoheek vein unusually strong and per-
ssure vein that be followed great depth The vein
filling mostly quartz with casing of slate in quarze walls
The naturalization is improving with DEPTH every level
shows improvement and have hopes of opening up
body when the Ooot drift extended 400 to 500 feet
place directly under the face of the 15oot level The
vein filling for the last rs feet this 5foo about
feet wide and composed Of quartz pophy manganese and iron
oxdes the whole mixture being of soft and open nature with
crystals of lead carbonate visible although small quantities.
The appearance and character of this vein matter is identical
Leadve mines and predict that the values when struck
below this point in the 500oo level will be sveread in place
of copper
we'll defined vein crops east of the present shaft the
dip thereof being towards the shaft the intention of the
ment this from the level soon as the
larger air compressor installed This work ustiabe ga
lena has been found in float from the above vein and should
therefore be explored.
The 50foot level figured from the present working tunnel
examined in detail and samples of the for the full
size Of the drift taken across at various points in order to learn
if the shoot opened Of commercial value without
sorting. The result of the samples follows:
Copper p c. Silver o. Gold S
Vein II feet wide 200 100 0.4O
The size Of the judging from the eight 10
feet wide The copper pye closely associated with iron
pye quartz was pleased note the absence of Iron
Donate in the vein filing this mineral has proved disastrous
copper properties in districts not far from yours The Hpo
theek filling gives permanency and is evident
from my observation that the values have improved with DEPTH
and should the casing slate leave you further DEPTH your cop
per will change into bornte which richer we'll de-
srable for reduction purposes.
Out of the feet the foowa and also in the vein
general shipping grade of be made by sorting the
advsab thereof this time be left the management
it involves question of the work to interfere with
rapid progress of the drift
In conclusion wish to state that the work in general un
derground shows systematic development the nature
merdabe and we'll carried out is also taken of machinery
and TOOLS The Hypoheek has the making NINE
directors and capable and deserve your
fullest confidence
Respectfully submitted
