has just been made in the old Alvarado
claim, which produced 100000 under
Col. j. +. WOOdman, the locator OF the
property. In a drift on the 250-fOOt
level vein OF free milling ore three
and a half TO five feet wide has been
opened. This has also been opened on
the 300 and 400 foot levels. Although
the vein itself is not extensive. there is
much good ore on either side and II
also opens into numerous shoots and
hi fNra "a Of he
ore gave the following results: No. /,
1886 ounces gold and AS ounces silver
No. 2, 20.32 ounces gold and 90 ounces
silver; No. 3, 2.2S ounces gold and 2.5
ounces silver; No. 4, l.22 ounces gold
and 1-20 ounces silver; No. 5, l.72 ounces
gold.
The old mine has been a good gold
producer and Mr.. Kaiser says that in
places there are large Slopes of ore
that were 20 feet across.
On the AlvaradO ii is the intention
to sink the 400 foot shaft 10 the 500
foot level at once and crosscut to get
the big gold ore body opened above
In the Alvarado claim alone there has
been 5000 tons OF good milling ore
blocked out and in the entire property
it Will reach between 10000 and 10000
tons.
At the Cane Springs property the
shaft will be sent down 200 feet deep
er and a tunnel from 500 10 500 feet
will be run.
This win cut all the veins at a depth
of 500 feet. A new hoist will also
be erected at this part OF the company
holdings.
Mineral Everywhere.
81 was never in such a highly min
eralized company before" said Mr.
Kaiser. Everywhere that you look you
see mineral / can climb those noun
tains and at a distance see green
lodges carrying good copper. Silver,
Lead and gold seem TO be plentiful The
transportation facilities have been the
great draw back or this country would
have been one Of the great mining sec
lions OF Utah.
THE Western Utah Copper has an
enormous tonnage Of ere blocked out.
I am told it has something like $780,
600 tons of ore in sight II took three
hours to go through il and / was walk
ing fast at that. The tunnels cut every
where.
"The prettiest specimens Of carbon
ate Of silver / ever saw in my life are
in that mine There are great pieces
as big as your hand almost and look
like an old silver watch that has been
flattened out There is also large
amount of high grade copper ore.
1.-THE property has been so well de
veloped that I believe only a small
amount OF work would be necessary for
the mine 10 send out 1000 tons OF ore
a day"
