DAILY IS
DOING THINGS
New Strike in the Daily Vein
Prompts Manager Lam
bourne to Break Silence.

Important and significant disclosures in
the Daly-Judge company's mines at Park
City have been following each other at
intervals for several months past. but it
was not until yesterday that Manager
George W. Lambourne could be persuaded
to speak Of them for publication Tues
day night he returned from a business
and pleasure trip east and on his arrival
learned that strike had been made in
the Daily fissure on the 1.20O-foot level
during his absence. so he pulled out Wed
nesday morning to see what it amounted
to. He returned at night, and yesterday
consented to tell about IL and to also give
a line on what had been transpiring on
that level for some time back
The particular strike consists in the
opening up of four feet of ore which, with
a little sorting, makes what Mr. Lam
bourne describes as fair shipping grade
of silver-iead product Not enough work
has been done at this point in the vein TO
determine, as yet, just what this shoot is
going TO amount 10, but its real impor-
lance TO the management rests In the
fact that this is the third shoot that has
been opened in a distance of LOO feet
in this ledge along its strike in a south
westerly course from the shaft. And this
is only small part of the story.
During the past several months" said
Manager Lambourne. we have run dis
lance of 100 feet southwesterly and par
alleling the DAILY fissure with double
purpose in view. One has been 60 pros
pect the vein and the other. and by no
means the least important, to drain the
vein and the country through which it
runs so that mining above and below the
100 level might be carried on without
bother. Six times in running the distance
named We have crOSscuJ to the ledge. 1t
was In the sixth or the last crosscut that
the strike was made just few days ago.
Two of the other five crosscuts have
opened up ore, while water is now run
ming out Of the vein on this level at the
rate Of 80 gallons q minute.
THE No. croSscut is the only one in
which We have yet attempted TO do any
mining. Here we have opened up from
that is between fifty and sixty feet long
in the vein. We have also tapped q
streak of high-grade ore in another one
Of the erosscuts, but as yet no work has
been done in it,"
About Loo tons Of ore has been mined
in the No. crOsscut workings and Mr..
LambouTne says the showing is such that
there is no doubt of the shoot extending
up and down both for an indefinite
though long distance. The drainage of
the vein on the 1.z10. tunnel. level will
make the ground easy to mine in above,
and IL will also relieve the deeper work
ings OF the bulk Of the water that makes,
apparently, above the horizon OF the 100.
The DAILY fissure is only one of three or
more lodges in the DaIy-Judge property,
and IL extends through the company S
possessions for more than two miles. The
development that has been done in it has
shown that ore shoots make at frequent
intervals and that they extend to great
depth. The work of the past several
months in and along this fissure has
proven the ore from the 500 level down.
and it means a big tonnage from this
source for a long time to come.
