About three weeks ago we re-
,orted good strike at had
been made in the Tom Tuck vein
Of the Vindicator Mining COM
pany up Chicago Creek. The
sample at that time was not large
but very rich. Since then the
Siftings-News has been watching
the development of this ore body
with much interest as the property
is located on Gold Hill. Thom-
as Egan who has spent many years
in that section and is known as
reliable and practical mining OPP
era tor was asked this week as to
his opinion concerning this
strike. He has been in the work.
ings to examine the conditions
and made the following frank and
mine-like statement.
"In speaking of the Tom Tuck
vein which was cut sometime ago
600 feet in from the portal of the
tunnel, l will say that recent de-
velopent has shown it to be the
greatest vein OF ore ever discov-
cred IN this vicinity and is ex-
celled only by the Matte, the Gem
and a few more of the great mines
in the district.
There is more than S feet Of
workable ore now exposed for
distance of fifty feet. The vein is
composed of numb Der of metallic
streaks ranging in width from 10
inches down to a knife blade.
These streaks OF ore are imbedded
in guage o. quartz porphyry.
The different streaks carry values
mostly in gold aud assay taken re-
Gently run from a few dollars to
$1oo per ton.
The Metallic mineral consists
chiefly of Iron Pyritss, some cop
per bearing pyrites, little galena
and zinc blend with traces of syl-
vanite and compose about 40 per.
cent of the vein matter,
The management states that it is
the intention to push the present
drift until it reaches the junction
of the Tuck vein. AS the ore is
being exposed timoers will be put
in place and stoping of the ore
started. Test runs will be m ade
in our local mills with an idea Of
getting the best process adapted
to the treatment of the ore. Til e
company will then erect a mill of
their own or purchase one of the
idle mills and remodel it to suit
their particular ore." John j.
Hoban is the superintendent of
the Vindicator company.
