Bleckon said:
On the Indigo Blue group of nine
claims belonging to the Utah Gold X
Copper Mines company there are sey-
eral tunnels and shafts, all showing
veins from which the ore has been
taken thai we have shipped, but nearly
NIL our work during the past few
months has been in the main tunnel

I've cut the first vein by the main
tunnel at s. feet. This vein is from
three to five feet thick and rs feet deep
from the surface to the bottom of the
tunnel and extends /, 200 feet on our
ground. We have followed along this
Vein for 90 feet, and 1t shows to be a
body, averaging SIS ton
There are at least 1000 tons OF ore in
this vein alone, worth s1,.000,000, aud
this is only one OF the veins that will
be gut by this main tunnel. There are
two more veins showing on the surface
that Will be cut by, this tunnel before
tho vein from which most of
tho shipping ore has been taken and
viii will be cut $50 feet deep. s3sS
To prospect the veins toward which
the main tunnel is running. we have
run N tunnel on the opposite side Of
the ridge to crosscut veins Showing on
ihe surface and at SO feet deep cut tvs
feet of ore, at 90 feet cut four feet

We expect them to be much richer.
