The value OF the second shipment from
the new east vein OF the American Flag
at Park City. as shown by the sampler
returns yesterday, was s4254 or 5000
ton. The exact weight of the shipment
was fS,lO6 pounds dry weight The
values were apportioned as follows:
Gold, LIS ounces; silver $3.50 ounces;
lead, S1.2 per cent; copper. 0.6 per cent;
iron, 30 per cent, zinc. lis per cent;
manganese, o.7s per cent. The percentage
OF silica. as shown by the analysis. was
8l:1: of lime. /, and OF sulphur, l.2
Ihese returns are somewhat higher
than the values found in the first con-
signment from the same strike which
was taken out In drifting along the fis-
sure at the 1000 level and in making two

General Manager Bodhsh expresses the
opinion that he can expose the vein at
two places on the 100 level with a small
amount Of development. Indca tions al
that level which meant nothing at the
time OF their manifesto ton have assumed
new Importance, he says. since the pres
ence OF the east assure has been demon
strated
The extraction OF elghty-one tons of
ore from the new vein has exposed sew
eral times that amount overhead and
underfoot. and 1t is said that high grade
shipments can be made regular rly from
tanned three-auarters of a carload and
the third car from the strike should be
on the market soon after the first OF
July.
A third raise is going up in ore some
seventy. feet south of the station where
the vein was first encountered by the
east crosscut on the l0o0-foot level.
Work in the intermediate level Is ham

Will be remeded when the level is con-
nected with the crosscut on the 900
Persons familiar with both properties
have declared that the resemblance be-
tween the Flags new east vein and the
great Ontario flssure is startling Making
allowances for the lower price OF silver,
the same value as the early product of
the Ontario. The alternating swells and
contractions OF the pay streak are said
TO be typical Of the Ontario vein. In
appearance the ore is almost Identical
with the Ontario ore as remembered by
old miners
IT is pointed out that the American
Flags new east fIssure is the nearest
known vein to the Ontario fssure OH the
north and west. the Intervening ground
never having been opened by either the
Onta rio nor the Flag
Judge James Owen Of Colorado Springs

ing in the property when he inspected II
few days ago. He has seen the best
mines in Cripple Creek. but ne will not
concede that any one Of them offers a
more attractive outlook than his Utah
enterprise
