Company Intends to Market

Encoura sng reports have reached the
local Offices of the May Day Mining
company. Director James G.. Dick stated
on Thursday that the 700-foot level
especially was the scene OF encouraging
developments. This level last week was
somewhat OF a disappointment, the ore
heretofore pincling out as work pro-
cceded for It's development. Superintend =
ont GrlgSs reports that the ore is COM
ing IN again. and II is good grade rock.
He expects TO encounter the rich orc on
the f000-foot level within the next few
days.
The Improvement I'm the zinc metal
market promises TO bring into tho May
Day strong box substantial revenue
which has not heretofore been available.
On the doo-foot level of the property the
company some time ago opened body
of zinc ore. but It's grade with the zinc
market at its then modest price range
prevented Il from being seriously con-
sldered. The management intends TO
give this zinc ore considerable attention
from now on. and there IS n very good
that IL can be marketed at a
good profit. Not until the old workings
have been placed in shape for successful
development cnn the management form
any very definite Idea OF the extent or
value of this ore, but. stated, the

is known now,
Like all Tintic mines the May Day
suffers its lean and its sleek cras. and
those In control feel that the lean period
