CEDAR-TALISMAN
HAS BIG STRIKE
Four Feet of High Grade Sill
ver-Lead Ore Opened on
the 400 Level.

strike has been made on the 40o-foot
level Of the Cedar-Talisman compary's
property in Beaver county. under condi-
IONS that make It look as though il was
going TO prove by far the most important
disclosure ever made in that mine Man
ager S. S. Pond came Up yesterday morn
ing with samples Of the ore. some of
which weighed more than seventy-five
Pounds During the day a sample Of
what was made 10 represent as nearly an
average Of all the ore as possible was
sent TO the assayer and in the afternoon
returns were received showing IS per cent
lead zl4O ounces silver and 81 cents in
gold per to1. The ore is massive hard
carbonate and is characteristic Of the
nrst grade ores as they occur in the Mos
COW, Red Warrior and other mines in the
immediate vicinity of the Cedar-Talisman
company.s possessions Telling Of the
strike. Manager Pond said:
several DAYS ago the fact was men
TONED that we had encountered a cave
back from a drift that we had previously
run on the 400 level In that cave mass
OF low grade ore was found and at first
the impression prevailed that, by sinking
IN 1t We should get better results The
material was fine and easily mined, but
around Il per cent lead and a few ounces
in silver was the best that we could get.
When I went down a few days ago the
superintendent had struck what appeared
TO be the bottom or floor of the cave.
] suggested IndL we put some noleS IL
the bottom and go down a little, just
to see what the ground looked like. The
bottom proved to be only a shell a foot
or two thick and when we got under that
we struck the ore you see here. There
is between three and four feet OF II to
start on and 1t looks good TO me, I can
tell you.
On the 800 level the company mined
considerable fine ore from bedding
plane that was encountered there, but It
was finally lost through q fault. Since
then Mt Pond has always been anxious
to get back under that same country at
greater depth and when he assumed the
management Of the property following
the consolidation. the first thing he did
was to cut back In that direction from
the drift that had been run out from the
fifty-eight feet TO reach the objective
point and more than once a majority of
the directors felt and argued that he was
on the wrong track. He insisted on going
ahead however, and now that his 1udg-
ment has been rewarded he is naturally
pleased.
The shaft on the property is down to
the 550-foot level and a drift has been run
out some distance from that point Man
ager Pond declares that If the showing
on the 100 develops as he believes II is
going TO DO he will not rest until ne has

caught the faulted bedding on the 400
