PRINCE CONSOLIDATED
SPEEDS SINKING SHAFT

The Prince Consolidated Mimi,
Company is speeding the sinking q,
the shaft to the ore beds below: every
effort Is being made by the efficier.
management to go to the deem at m,
earliest possible moment.
For the past two weeks an
advance of SIS feet per twenty ton.
hours has been made in the daanersaI.
OF the big working shaft which has
now reaehed total depth of AS feet.
iine record considering the tim
which has elapsed since the insenti,,
OF the work. The water level is stiII
seventy feet deeper. out at the pres
ent rate Of progress 1t should ba
reached before January 1. 1920 A
large station will be cut at the water
level to accommodate the pumps ana
other necessary equipment to nut tbs
smart down to the ore beds and below
arrangements have recently been
completed whereby Walter Fitch thu
well known and successful min,ng
contractor, will on contract, take over
the sinking OF the big shaft from the
water level and it will be remembered
locally that 1t was Walter Fitch who
sank the shaft the first 400 feet. This
arrangement certainly assures QUICK
action. as based on the speed with
which Mr. Fitch has sent down this
and other shafts, the directorate OF
the Prince Consolidated Mining Com
pany feel that with him in personal
charge Of the work the shaft will
feacn It's objective. the silver ore bed
developed by previous diamond drill
ing at total vertical depth of ss5
feet, thirty days earlier than previous
ly estimated.
AT this time It will require an ad.
ditional $50 feet Of sinking to break
into the first ore bed which is known
as the silver ore bed and a further
z65 feet will be required for the shaft
to penetrate the second ore bed known
a. the base bed.
Fifteen miners are at present en-
ployed in this work which is being
carried on Independently of the nor
NAL operation of the mine the shaft
being bulkheaded off at the 435 foot
point.
The present formation in the bot
tom OF the shaft is limo shale which
still breaks very well.
The installation OF the sterling boil
ers will be completed by January 1st |
the estimated time at which water
level will be reached. All the nec-
essary adjuncts to the pumping and |
power installation should also be |
completed by that time. sub-track |
bin for coal is being built and tho |
coal will be transferred, from this /
trfck-bin to the big storage bin locat-
I'd at the boiler plant by wide con-
veyer belt.
In spite of the car shortage q good |
tonnage was forwarded to the Salt
Lake smelters, the bins however, are
full and unless the car situation
clarifies as is indicated by advices
received the normal production will of |
necessity be reduced.
The income Of the Company from |
receipts of ore Is being materially in
creased by the high price of silver |
and by tho rising lead market and |
every thing considered the stockhold-
ers Of the Prince Consolidated Min
ing Company are in line for handsome |
future profits. which should far ex-
ceed the dividends which have already |
been disbursed by this well managed |
company.
