ORE SHOWS FINE
 AT LOWER LEVELS

An important strike was made in the Eagle River mines a few days ago. The tunnel that is being driven at a depth of 1000 feet below the old workings to tap the ore body has cut the vein at the end of the tunnel 1900 feet in. It is the same ore as that encountered on top except that it is not broken up. J. R. Whipple, assist ant general manager of the Eagle River mines, says that it is the best showing that has been encountered in that tunnel. The ore will average $4 to $5 per ton. The vein has been cross cut for a distance of approximately 15 feet but the width of it has not yet been determined because they are not vet through it.
 Mr. Whipple says that the ore body will now have to be developed and blocked out at the new level before the mill is again started. Work was abandoned on the upper level on ac- count of the ore being broken so bad ly that mining was very expensive. This feature will be Obviated at the lower level C. C. Whipple is super intendent of the Eagle River mines and B. L. Thane is general manager. Assistant Manager Whipple will visit the mines in a few days when more definite information about the ore body at it's present level will be obtained.
