SUSANNAH MINE
STRIKES $500 ORE
Box Elder County District Is
Coming Rapidly to
the Front.

Advices received in Salt Lake yes
terday We're TO the effect that a sec
ond strike has been made In the Susan
nah mine in the western part of Box
Elder county. The news from the front
was but meagre, and only TO the eff
feet that $500 rock had been encOun-
tered in the main working tunnel, and
that this high grade was being sacked
IN readiness for shipment. The Susan
nah adjOins the Century mine, which
has produced a lot OF high grade ore
at various times in its eVentful his
tory.
In regard to the Susannah property
and vicinity, the last issue of the Salt
Lake Mining Review says;
a couple OF months ago operations
at the Susannah mine were going
ahead in the finest kind OF style. The
mill was running at full capacity with
full force OF miners breaking the
kind of rock which makes dividends.
Everything looked very bright for the
future or this promising little gold
mine
Suddenly, and as unexpected as such
developments always occur. a fault in
the ore zone was encountered. AS the
south drift was advancing along Ii
l-foot vein OF milling ore of a fine
grade, the ledge, without any warn
ing, disappeared as completely as if
IL were cut off by huge knife.
Picture Rock.
Knowing that the south portion OF
the cOmpany's holdings was the lOgi-
cal place 10 find the necessary ores

The Deer Trail.
AT the time the Deer Trail COM
pany's workings were at the most in
Ieresting point in the history OF the
mine, Superintendent b. n. Hunt was
hurriedly called away by the serious
illness or his wife, and work at the
mine was temporarily suspended.
The Deer Trail is one of Park VAL
ley's most promising prospects. Two
large chimneys OF lead-SilVer ore are
exposed IN the upper workings and
survey recently made shows the lower
tunnel 10 be within striking distance
of the first of these Should the val
ues. which show above, extend TO this
level the future OF the mine IS proven
beyond a doubt
'The hackers Of the Deer Trail have
demonstrated time and again that they
are the kind OF 'stayers' who make
mines
mr.. Hunt is expected to return to
the mine in the immediate future, and
development work viii be resumed AT
once.
The Planetary.
wv. II. Weyher. located at the Salt
Lake offices Of the Daly-Judge Mining
company, who is managing the affairs
OF the Planetary company, has ordered
a survey made OF the underground
workings, preparatory TO resuming Op-
eratiOns.
The writer recently visited this

TO be seen in the way OF mtneraliZa-
ton. as Well as at the great amount
OF development work which has been
done. All OF this work has been per-
formed with but one objective point
in view. with the result that no money
has been wasted on numerous shallow
shafts and tunnels scattered broadcast
over the hillside, as is the case with
so many mines 10 be seen throughout
the west.
Mr. Weyher and associates have
STAYED with the Planetary for a good
many years. but the time appears to
have arrived when results can reason
ably be expected, for the slow and eN-
pensive work OF driving the long cross
cut tunnel 10 the vein is about COM
