the Chicago Boston indicates
that the big ore shoot expos
ed on the 200 level has been
located from the raise and that it will
in due time be found on the 400 level
Failing to find the ore on the 400
level after having drifted several
hundred feet, prosecuting so feet in
to the foot wall and otherwise thor
oughly prospecting the ground, the
management decided to raise from
the 400 to the 200 in order to deter
mine the downward course of the ore.
1t was regarded possible that a fault
might have cut out the ore, or that
the shoot might have been split by
an intrusion of some description. In
any event it was evident that the
practical thing to do was to explore
the ground below the 200 level to de-
termine what had happened. The
raise was thereupOn started along
the hanging wall and carried up 210
feet, or within about 25 feet of the
200 level. At this point the vein was
crosscut to the hanging wall, about
feet The vein here shows more
ore than on the 400 and a drift was
started east following the foot wall.
Improvement was noted Immediately
and soon a shoot of high grade lead
silver ore developed on the foot wall
side. Yesterday upon his return
from the Chicago Boston, c. w. New
ton, manager stated that the drift
had been extended east 80 feet and
that the face of the drift shows Is
inches of practically clean ore on the
foot wall and 6 inches on the hang
ing wall side, with about feet of
good milling ore between. The rapid
increase in the amount of ore and it's
position indicates that this is the
end of the big ore shoot and that it
rakes strongly to the east.
Drive intermediate Drift.
Work has now been suspended in
the drift while the raise is being car
ried through to the 200 level. With
this completed a crosscut will be run
to the foot wall from the raise at q
point about midway between the 200
and 400 levels, and from there anoth-
err drift will proceed east to the ore
shoot. The position of the ore in this
intermediate drift with reference to !
it's position in the first drift will in
dictate definitely its rake and thus de-
termine further plans for it's develop |
ment. 1t is believed now that the |
rake of the ore shoot carries it be-
yond the end of the east drift on the /
400, and of course if that is correct it !
would explain why it was not found
down there If the showing in the |
intermediate drift confirms this be-
lief it is expected that work will be
transferred to the 400 level and the
east drift extended to the ore shoot.
gratifying feature of the situa-
ton at the Chicago Boston is that the
rake of the ore is clearly to the east,
the direction in which the company's
ground extends over 5000 feet. The
mountain on the east side of the can
yon beneath which development will
be extended rises $500 feet or more
above the 400 level, indicating the
possibility of a great stopping area in
the event that the ore shoot proves
as extensive as now seems probable.
