1. The carbonate ore body at the Silver King Consolidated mine has expanded significantly, with two distinct beddings exposed that swell into large chambers containing an estimated ten times more ore than was previously shipped.
2. The mechanical improvements at the property, including an aerial tramway and efficiently operating mill, are helping to keep labor expenses low and increase production capacity.
3. Over 1,300 feet of tunneling has cut four fissures, indicating the mine is in a mineral formation promising great potential as deeper veins are reached.

of inspection to the silver king consoli- dated mine at park city utah litah solon spiro of isalt lake president and general man- ager of the company had the following to say regarding conditions there 1 I was entirely unprepared by my last visit in july for the wonderful expansion which has taken place ill in the carbonate ore body instead of one bedding as before there are two distinct beddings exposed which swell out at intervals into large chambers the carbonate ore blocked above the 1625 foot level is estimated to be ten times the amount shipped during develop- ment and there is every indication that larger will be found in the virgin ground into which the ore is making the product of this is of the highest grade the blocks of sulphide ore which were standing in the main fissure at the time of my last visit are still untouched we have shipped a great many cars of sulphide but all of it has been taken out in development of the northeast bedding the rolling and fracturing of the black lime hanging wall leave cavities filled with ore which beds out into the foot as far as we have gone and evidently for hundreds of feet beyond our present faces the mechanical improvements at the property are ideal in their simplicity and economy the aerial tramway is going like a clock the mill is running smoothly with mall labor expense and should soon be up small to its rated capacity 1 I1 have watched the construction of all the big tunnels at park city and I1 can say that 1I have seen nothing to compare in workmanship speed and economy with ours it is in about 1300 feet four fissures al- ready cut prove that we are in a mineral aich promises great things when formation which the better known veins are reached 1 I take particular pride in the efficiency of our improvements because they were planned and executed under the direction of our regular engineering staff 1I am sat- isfied that the results would have been no better a nd might not have been so good if we had had thousands of dollars worth of special talent employed
