Moriarty exhibited at this;t* i j :P office on Thursdad samples of gold, cop* ! s i per ant] quartz, which he secured at1■ the mine of the Eagle Metallic Com* | puny near (harmian on Wednesday, i The recent discovery of gold has caused S the mem tiers of the company to refuse^ j 14 very Haltering offer fur their pro' ipertv.People in Adams county apparently j do not realize the extent of the work ‘ i being done at the mine. A shaft *1 2o0 feet deep has Ireen sunk arid large ' j quantities of pure copper removed. (Quartz has also been secured and ; lately gold was discovered and removed in paying quantities. It is be lieved that further working will dis ? ; close a “pocket ’ of gold and render i | the mine of greid value.1 j The company is now arranging to secure machinery to reduce the minerals to marketable shape. City firms have been anxious to secure the contract for the smelting but it has been j the company’s policy to do ull of the ! work right at the mine. A large ele-I vator takes the product from the foot j of the deep shaft to the ground where j it is placed in a large warehouse. A | large quantity in now on hand, j Numerous geologists have spent days j at the mine and claim the formations I are exceptional. The discovery of i the glittering material some time ago \ | caused considerable excitement which was justified when the authorities pronounced it gold. The gold has al-i ready been secured in sufficient quantities to pay for the expense of placing it on the market.The company claims that the deeper they go with the shaft the finer the quality of the minerals becomes. Blasting is Ire ing resorted to to get the copper, quartz, and gold and the place is one of the most interesting in Adams countv.
