Properties.
IF the Bay State Mining eompany's
property in American Fork canyon
makes good, and every indication Is
that it will this win open up a prac-
tically new district in American Fork. I"
was the remark OF George b. Tyler.
manager, while in town yesterday.
The Bay state is in Bakers can
yOn, across from and adjoining the
famous Dutchman mine. Although one
side Of the canyon has been mined for
thirty years, producing fortunes, the
opposite side has been neglected all
these years, with only here and there
half-hearted gopher hole which was
abandoned before any depth had been
attained.
Now this company, with John Cleg-
horn as president. has taken up IS
claims there and Messrs. Howe a.
Chapman, leasers, have started a 100
foot tunnel az point where ore was
found outcroppins. They have en-
countered ore all the way. Most of
this Ore-bearing black lime is low
grade, but many stringers. dipping
down. have been cut, showing $50 10
sac ore. Some as high as so per cent
lead has been taken out.
Enriehing POrphyry bikes.
The Bay State is traversed by sew
eral lntersecting pOrphyry bikes cut
ting through and enriching the lime
country rock for some distance from
the contacts. The formation is almost
identical with that on the Dutchman
and Miller, which mines have produced
so generously for many years. and are
stiu giving up their treasures as per-
sistently as ever.
"One Of the principal owners OF the
Bay State requested Mr. WOOdman OF
the Dutchman and DR.. Holden TO look
over the property some time ago. They
pronounced ii practically the same as
these old producers, with as good sur
face indications that ore viii make at
depth. By dropping down $50 feet be-
low the present tunnel we can get un-
der tho porphyry bikes and reach The
ground into which the stringers, cut
in the tunnel, seem TO be dipping, and
here We. expect to uncover our big
sesI body OF ore. The property IS
SO favOrably situated we expect 10
work all winter"
The Bay STATE is looking so good
right now that il is understood that
the management has made OyertuTes
to the lessers TO terminate their con-
tract. and then this proposed lower
tunnel viii be driven into the noun
tain Immediately. But the leasers are
so enthusiastic over their prospects |
Of their lease. The Bay State is ap-
the deepest formation in the
canyon.
The Old Dutchman.
Considerable work is going on at the
Dutchman property. During the first
shipped out $4,000 in ore, and ap-
proximately $4,000 the last half a TO-
tai Of about $4,000. The ores are prin-
cipally lead carbOnates, with some sill
yer and gold Most OF this ore is max
ing in the lime away from the con-
tact. The greatest depth on the prop
erty is 500 feet Shipments are con-
Jnuing, the output keeping several
teams on the road. This property has
produced million and a half IN val
ues.
Miller Hill.
Mr.. Tyler has a contract for Ger
tain tunnel development work On the
Miller Hin property. which is being
shaped up for patent.
Globe Consolidated.
Leasers are shipping one or two car
loads OF ore a month from the Globe.
The ore runs about $40 TO the ton. III
Is -lead-gOld sulphide ore, prin-
eipally making in the lime out from
the contact.
Old Blue Rock.
Considerable profitable work is be-
ng done on the old Blue Rock prop
srty, now the Pacific Mining company.
There Is 50o-fO0t tunnel and the
IRE makes on the contact between the I
)hide ores have already begun. and
much is promised Of this property.
Old Miller Mine.
IT Is still giving up good values. not /
XiLhstanding the fact that in early I
lays si,50o Gee was taken out; then I
10000, and now a new lot OF leasers /
ire at work and shipping TWO or three /
.arloads OF good ore a month.
Mountain Dell.
Mountain Dell has been attracting as 4
much attention OF late as any mine in /
he district. The property has been i
moving up so well that II has at 4
raeted the L. 5. Smelter people. II /
low comes from pretty good author
~ that the u. ;. has taken over the /
property and VIII work il Tor a year
L least. The ores found here are i
leeded at the smelter, ana from every
Indication the property gives promise /
4 developing into one Of the biggest /
Kings in the camp.
EudOra-Bell Mine.
For several months now the dirt has
een flying in lively manner around
ONE OF the old diggings on this old
sen property which in the early days /
Z the camp Colonel Shaughnessy and /
ssociates worked SO profitably. Now /
he cOlOnels son, ". d. Shaughnessy,
5 managing the property. He has a /
0rce drifting on one OF the old tun-
els to catch an ore-prOduclng OutcrOp /
Z great depth Some good ore has \
cen taken out lately, although the OBJ
-NtlNr Eo4LA ~ Co--tn~A - sim some
istance off. When the contact Is en-
ountered something big IS anticipated
q the EudOra-Bell.
Utah COmsteck.
The Utah Comst0ck is driving a new
1nnel below the road. IL is now in
bout IS feet. The tunnel has been
4 ore from the surface. IL is a lead
arbOnate. showing a streak OF rich
re 10 10 inches wide.
The Pittsburg Mining company is not
hipping now, but IL is understood TO
ave opened up a nice ore body, and
le property generally IS looking fine.
Taking the camp as a whole, Ameri-
an Fork canyon this fall Is In as good
hysical condition and with about as
~ year as az any fail IN the history I
{ the district.
