SUMMERVILLE DISTRICT
WILL MAKE GREAT CAMP
__________
Superintendent Harvey Hardy of the Hecker mine in Summerville District, Emery County, is in from the camp today. He is particularly please with conditions there and says that within another year the camp will be one of the best in the state in production of lead-silver ore.
The Hecker property has just closed down until after the holidays, when the company expects to resume work with an increased force. The development work accomplished this season has opened up a large body of excellent concentrating ore and the company has now under consideration plans for a plant to handle the product, which Mr. Hardy says will average 15 percent lead, 25 ounces silver and $1 gold per ton. Of this ore there is an immense body, almost at the surface. In the drift from the bottom of the 100-foot shaft a strong vein is opening u which carries no less that 176 ounces silver and 25 percent lead.
At the Kaiser, a property of five claims in the same locality, which in early days shipped ore bringing returns of $1500 per car, a force of miners will be put on early in the year. And a number of other properties in the district are being steadily worked.
