Morning Mine Shows Enormous Orebody in New 2000 Level
The Morning mine, a major vein near the 2000 level, yields an unprecedented ore grade with abundant galena and reduced zinc. Frederick Burbidge of Federal Mining says the vein extends 800 feet drifted, with ore widths up to 85 feet, and plans a crosscut into a deeper level in about 60 days. A novel under-vein drift method mitigates ground pressure, enabling safer, cheaper extraction as 600 workers are employed and a new pay balance attracts machine men. The Morning Club, built by the company, grows in employee popularity.
