ALGONAH ORE: A
LAKE SENSATION
Unusual Formation Is Turned
to Light in Newest Michi-
gan Camp.
MAY BE EXCEPTION
TO LAKE MINING
Lake and Indiana Drills Kept
Busy Reaching Out to
Resources.

The Lake country has a new sensation
in the Algomah property. ono OF tho old
est yet heretofore neglected portions OF
that country. BY means OF an open cut
an extremely rich deposit has been en-
posed, consisting of forms OF the RED
metal very unusual for that mining
region, the rock being sulphide. silicate
and carbonate. The Alsomah may after
its ore character with depth, but Lake
operators believe that this may be an
exception to the whole district In pro-
viding sufficient sulphides OF copper 10
make their treatment commercially pos
sible.
There Is very interesting account OF
several Lake properties in which Utah
investors arc stockholders In tne last
edition of Copper the Gay ana Stureis
publication Of Houghton, Mich, The fol-
lowing are extracts from the review,
dated May 81:
Lake continues TO operate eleven drills.
which is practically the limit OF the ar
progress at the first level, At the second
level one drill is working in the raise
that started 290 feet north or The smart
and has been pushed through 10 surface
for ventilation The total distance TO
surface Is about ESQ feet and the drill
holed through to daylight THURSDAY Al
the third level three drills are working.

rock dumping shoot Just north OF the
shaft and one raising In ventilation
opening that was started $40 feet north
of the shaft and Will hole through TO the
second level shortly.
At the fourth level two drills arc work
ing one in the rock dumping chute lust
north Of the shaft and the other drifting
north The latter has just begun at that
point, having been transferred from the
cutting of a sump rear the shaft which
was necessary to catch the water that
was running down to the deeper nsr,Ins, neyeIs,
south and one north. All OF the fore
going drills on the main Lake lode.
Al the sixth one drill is drifting north
on the new or foot wall lode and one Is
drifting south on the main Lake lode.
In the shaft one drill Is sinking and
il is expected that the shaft this month
Will be bottomed at the depth where the
station for the seventh level Will be cut.
so that station cutting can begin early In
June, The shaft is now in the foot
wall Of the new lode so that when cross
countered within few feet and then
the crosscut will proceed To the main
l5de. which at the fifth level lies $50 feet
from the new or foot wall lode and at
tho sixth level lies i97 feet away,
The workings throughout maintain the
usual appearance that characterlzes the
Lake openings.
