THOR COMPANY IS
GETTING GOOD ORE
Foot Wall But Qanuty
Is Small

Within the next few days another
force of men will be put to work on the
third tunnel of the Thor Mining com
pany. which owns % claims on the
ridge between the Snake creek and
Park City district. Already the com
pany is working two gangs of men on
tunnels. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to push work throughout the
winter.
In one Of the tunnels the company
has made nice strike of shipping ore.
but as yet no large quantity has been
developed. The tunnel Is now follow
Ing along this stringer of ore and 1t
is believed that it will shortly develop
into a large body. The tunnel is now
in a distance OF 12o feet and the bore
is getting depth of nearly foot for foot
The tunnel has been along the foot
wall of the vein and n streak of ore
has been followed for almost the entire
distance. The tunnel is now being
turned to reach the hanging wall which
has not been found. In places it be-
comes five or six inches wide. while 1t
narrows down again the width of Il
mans finger. The ore averages SO
ounces In silver, 25 per cent lead. and
s4.20 in gold.
The company was organized about
three months ago and since then mas
been busily prosecuting work. AT pres
ent six men are employed by the COM
pany AS soon as there is room for
the men to work more will be added

COLUMBUS is HEAVY SHIPPER.

General Manager Tony jacobson has
returned from a trip to the company
mines at Alta where he found every
thing moving along in excellent shape.
He declares that for the past 20 days
the company has averaged 75 tons of
ore a day to the market. This will
be continued for some time unless
something happens.
Ore is now being extracted from four
places at the mine and there is enough
In sight to insure shipping for some
time to come. The one is not blocked
out but it extracted and shipped as ii
is worked out.
The recent strike on the 4O0-foot level
below the tunnel level and to the west
of the shaft is opening in splendid
shape Mr. jacobson says and 1t has
every appearance of being the largest
ore body that has been found there

task. In some places the hide is al
most two and half inches thick. and
before you have got through Il hand S
breadth your knife has completely lost
its edge and requires TO be resharp-
ened. The head and the feet are put
on one eide to be preserved as trophies
Of the chase. while the remainder of
the flesh is cut into l3rg. thin strips,
which, after they have been dried by
hanging them. en- the tree branches,
will keep good fer q very long time.
The ivory OF the teeth and tusks.
which is of very fine quality. used to
be employed almost exclusively in the
manufacture of false teeth. Nova
days, says the Wide World Magazine.
it is turned to all the purposes Of Ordi-
nary ivory. AS for the hide. cut into
strips it is made into sticks. which are
as good defensive weapons as one
could wish to possess. Treated with
oil, they become transparent as tortoise
shell and look quite pretty. Out of
hippOpotamus hide bullock drivers
likewise make thongs for their whips
which are positively everlasting and
fetch relatively speaking quite Il good
price
