Noonday Mine in Silverton Gains Rich Output and Expansion
The Noonday silver lead mine near Silverton has produced 24 car loads of rich galena ore in six months, totaling 480 tons from a small ground, with 1690 tons of concentrating ore stockpiled awaiting machinery. The tunnel extends 210 feet with a new ore shoot promising larger, richer yields, as management advances with a $35,000 bond lease and buys a one quarter interest.
