TITAN TUNNEL IN
MILLING ORE
' Jack Fitzgerald, manager of the
Titan, was down this week for sup
plies, taking advantage of the
heavy snow crtfst to stock" up in
advanee of the mine’s immediate
requirements, the tunnel, he says,
is in 91 feet, with o full face of live
blue quartz that is well mineralized
with iron pyrites and makes a good
grade of milling ore. The tunnel
must be driven about 100 ft. more
to get under the big ore shoot that
crops on the surface. The show
ing is so encouraging that all of
the «rew are taking units in the
Titan Syndicate, which is the best
recommendation that any properly
could have. - »• ’> - . •- *
