ARROWHEAD Drift HAS
TWO FEET HIGH GRADE

The west drift of the 267 level OF
the Arrowhead mine has reached the
ore, according to Pete Fox, superin-
tendent of the property, who is in
Tonopah today.
THE entire face of the drift is
ledge matter with two feet of high
grade sulphides on the hanging wall
side of the drift" said Mr. Fox \
picked sample from the new ore as .
sayed today ran $47 gold and 422
ounces silver per ton.
Encountering this ore at this level
proves the continuity Of the orebody
explored on the 100-foot level, whic..
proved to be 157 feet long and had
an average width OF from three to
four feet. Should drifting through
the shoot at the 267 continue in ore,
as it is expected to, the body of ore
blocked out will make the Arrow
head one of the leading producers
of southern Nevada
A heavy flow of water was struck
with the ore which for the present
will stop shaft sinking; it is believed
that the water is just a pool and
that it will drain itself within a
week when sinking will again be re
sumed
Striking the ore at this point
within a few feet as projected by
the rake of ore in the vein at the
upper level, is one of the most i'm
portant developments Of the Arrow
head mine" said Mr. Fox 1T proves
conclusively that the ore goes down
and with regularity"
Another shift will be put on i'm
mediately and both drifts on this
bottom level will be pushed ahead
with all speed. The ore in the east
drift is milling grade and is three
feet wide at present
Superintendent Fox returned to the
property late this afternoon.
