KINGMAN, Ariz., Feb. 15.-The
exploration on the new 665-foot
level of the United Eastern, at Oat-
man, of the downward continuation
of it's famous orebody is being
crowned with success and steadily
increasing the potentialities of the
zine. Thus far the north ross
cut on the new level has been ad-
'aIoed into the shoot more th1n
81 seet and it has yet to expose the
hanging wall.
Some very high assays have been
obtained as work has progressed but
NC details as to average values will
lie announced by the management
until the vein has been cut from
wall to wall. In the absence of such
official information, it is not possi-
BILE to state with any degree of &C.
curacy the Importance of the dis
closure of the orebody on the new
level.
however, it is learned in a reiia-
Die quarter that the results being
obtained justify the prediction made
10 days ago by General Manager
George w. Long, Immediately fol-
lowing the exposure of the vein Oh
the new level, that it would
''check up with the showings on
the 465 and 565 levels. On these
leve.s the crebody for a lengtL el
approximately $50 feet has an ave,-
age width of better than % feet
and assays around $50 or better fer
It's entirety.
Taking the tonnage exposed OH
re 465 and SOS levels as a basis, it
was generally estimated, prior to
the new level developments, that the
ore blocked out had a total gross
value in excess OF $10,OOO,O0O. II
is row figured by many mining men
that the disclosure of the orebody
at the 665-foot depth justifies the
raising of the estimate to 4,00G,-
600.
