SILVER CROSS IS IN RICH
 ORE ORE, TWO FEET WIDE
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Reports of a find on the Silver Cross mine, reaching Prescott yes terday, were confirmed here last night in an interview with Ben Schurman, one of the owners of the property, located in the Turkey dis trict.
 While working yesterday" said Schurman, we broke into two feet of almost solid ore, some of which runs as high as 42O ounces. Our ore has been averaging between 20 and 30 ounces of silver, with from 5 to 4 per cent lead The Silver Cross crew is working on the straight tunnel at depth of l5O feet, no cross-cutting being done at present.
 The record of this mine is an ex- cellent one. Starting out in 1918 with a 5O-ton mill built to handle the product of various mines in the Turkey district, the owners found that there was not enough ore be- ing produced to keep them busy. Prospecting in the district, they opened the Silver Cross, new prop crty, in January, 1919, and have since been running the mill on their own ore. They are now taking out from F to Is tons daily, with a crew of nine men on the job. It is planned to put another shift on soon.
 The Silver Cross breast is between three and four feet wide, in some places going as wide as five feet, on vein of good ore which the crew are following in.
 "There are at least a half dozen undeveloped properties in the Tur- key district as good as ours" Schurman said last night. The Silver Zone is one of the best prop critics in that country" Schurman stated that he looked for increas- ing developments in silver in the Turkey district
