The following is another article from old newspapers about the Hardy workings as my dad called them or the Copper Boy as it was known in the Salt Lake Mining Review. This mine is in the Summerville Mining District in Emery County Utah. I will have more articles posted to this blog in the future.
THE HECKER MINE
__________
__________
Another lot of samples from the Hecker, near Woodside, have been tested at an assayer's in Salt Lake City, The returns show from 93.5 to 119 ounces silver and from 43.2 to 48.5 per cent lead, with an average of 95 ounces silver and 45 per cent lead per ton. This was derived from five assays. Returns from samples of chloride were no less satisfactory, the average reaching 53.8 ounces silver and 37.89 per cent lead. Of the latter Harvey Hardy reports a breast of seven feet in the cut by which the vein has been opened up, and to get it to moving to market 200 sacks have been forwarded to camp. The shareholders are all rejoicing over the result of the assays, while the outlook cannot but stimulate interest in the camp.
