Persistent.

That not more than one or two Tin
tie mines has a better ore showing
than has the Moscow, of North Star
district is the decision of mining men
who have recently examined the big
Beaver county producer. And the Mos
COW has much room for expansion; its
ore bodies are much bigger and better
in the deeper workings, and only a
small portion of it's great system of
bedded veins has been explored on it's
strike. Manager J. L. Rawlins, who
has pust returned from the mine after
having made a careful examination of
the late developments, is not making
comparisons of his property with others,
but he Is plainly gratified on account
of the manner in which the Moscow
is responding to development.
The. big showing in the property at
this time is on the 400-foot level, and
below tina. level. The vein of ore en-
countered on that level has been fol-
lowed 65 feet north from the place
where II was encountered. and cross
cut from another working has opened
the same vein 155 feet south Of the
point at which IL was first entered,
thus proving that the ore body is con-
tinuous for more than 800 feet on its
strike.
winze has been sunk 50 feet on
the ore body. from the 406-foot level.
and a raise has been driven 20 feet
tinuous in both directions. The ore
body varies in size. On the 400 level
and above it is from two feet to three
feet I'm thickness. In the bottom OF the
Wine it Is Is feet thick, with the grade
unimpaired, the average being about
500 a ton. The ore requires no sort
ing; 1t is shipping as il is broken down
between well defined walls. The values
run about 40 per cent lead, 80 and 40
ounces in silver and and per cent
copper making a most desirable smelt-
ing product.
Ore Zone Is Enormous.
On the 300-foot level has been opened
another nice ore body which is sepa-
rate and distinct from the one on the
400 level, 1t being in a parallel vein, or,
rather, on another bedding plane In
is so feet and 60 feet wide, and the Mos
COW estate covers $500 feet Of its
strike, which is almc st directly north
and south. The development work &C
complished is about midway between
the north and the south end lines
Adjoining the Moscow on the north
Is the Red Warrior in which has been
opened: in the same zone, an enormous
body of ore. Directly south of the Mos
COW is the Jim Barrett group, owned
by Moscow interests, in which at 10
feet depth has just been made strike
OF ore which mine assays show TO be
even richer than that in the Moscow,
although the vein as far as II has been
opened is not so large.
These developments north and south
of the Moscow exemplify the persist
ency of ore-making in the great zone.
The work below the 40C level in the
Moscow shows that the ore bodies are
larger and stronger az depth. Impress
sion has prevailed that the ore in that
zone was "pOckety," but the work done
in the Moscow proves that the veins are
strong and regular. The ore makes on
the bedded planes literally 10 grass
roots. On the ore body opened in the
400 level of the Moscow is thus as
sured more than 700 feet of backs.
The Moscow is shipping regularly.
