McPhillips Mine Strike Draws Public Attention and Prospects
The McPhillips strike advances into a vein with eight feet exposed, showing iron stained quartite with galena stringers and potential for another ore shoot on the hanging wall. Development work includes a new blacksmith shop, ventilating system, and platform jigs as plans push toward two shifts and further ore extraction. Stratton & Stratton promote options, with brisk trading as profits tempt quick sales. Homestake under a similar plan also progresses, possibly rivaling McPhillips as a crosscut nears the Homestake vein.
