connection with the Centennial Eureka,
is now laying pipes fro H)rnansville to
Eureka, distance of over three miles, by
which 10 supply the mine and camp with
water The water will be forced by du-
pick pump to the top of thu ridge separa5-
ing the two GOWNS, at which point it will
be discharges into couple of 10000 gallon
tanks, the elevation of which will give suf-
ficient fall to supply the town with ample
protection in case of fire, the springs which
form the source of supply yielding between
forty and fifty thousand gallons per day.
This will be big factor in the progress of
the cam Speaking of the prospects of
the Bullion-Beck, Superintendent Smith,
whose experience entities MIN to consider
alton, said: II know of no mine
in the west that has bet
ter future before it than has
the Bullion Beck, and it will yet be
ranked with the first and foremost prop
critics on the coast. There is no better
camp than Eureka in particular and Tintic
in general" Mr.. A E. Hyde is now mana
ger of this famous property.
The Caroline is situated south of the
Bullion-Beck, and produces a similar
grade of ore. 1t now yields about fifteen
tons of ore per day, averaging 40 lead and
so silver. and employs fourteen men, 1t is
good property. and will some day be en-
titled to be called the tWiu-sis of the
Bullion-Beck
The Eureka Hills output for the year
will probably equal that of the Bullion
Beck. The mine, however, is owned by a
close corporation, whose members and
employees are Theoretically sealed as to
the inner workings. So closely are it's
secrets guarded that it has well-earned
the name of the Sphynx of Eureka.
The Centennial Eureka has been fire.
quently heard from in the Salt Lake mar
ket during the year. Considerable devel-
opment work has been done, and it is fair
to presume that the mine will play an i'm
portant part in the history of the camp.
The output for the year foots up to l, AZ, 900
pounds. The main shaft is down $50 feet.
and there are three other shafts, one of
which has reached depth of 100 feet, one
20 feet and the other Is feet. There are
8, 400 feet of levels and drifts; and 500 feet
of slopes and wines. The water supply
is pumped 5000 feet through a two-inch
pipe, raising 40 fet t in that distance. The
mine is well equipped for work and en-
ploys about thirty-ive men.
The Eagle is another very promising
property, and has yielded ore running as
high as 300 ounces of silver to the ton.
The Keystone is one of the coming groups
that will add lustre to Eureka's fame.
TIE Northern Spy, which was recently
purchased by Messrs. Beck, Hyde and
others, is located across the ridge from
Eureka, and bids fair to become one of the
finest properties ever seen in the west. Tue
shaft has been sunk $50 feet, and tunnel
shows 400 feet of solid ore Tue dumps are
also full of ore, which cannot be hauled at
present owing t. the bad roads. Work
will be continued on the mine all winter,
however, the shaft being retimbered
and other preparations made for in
augurating Northern Spy boom in
the spring. 1t is the opinion of one whose
experience qua if S aim to speak that there
is more ore in sight now than will repay
the purchasers of the property for their

Bullion-Beck, there can be little question.
The Mammoth is now working 100 men.
A very rich strike was recently made.
She has paid a 3215 cents dividend
during the year on 100000 shares, besides
mourning expenses in bringing a water
supply distance Of eight miles to the
amount of $4,000, putting in compressed
air drills, the purchase of an electric plant
which is now ready to set up, and other
valuable improvements. A car of ore re-

500 silver ana s. gold to the ton. The mine
is now under the SUPPLEMENTARY of Cap

TT total Tintic output for the year end
ing December 81, 1888, reached about
IS 100000 pounds. Figures for the pres
ent year were not to be obtained from
many of the properties, but it is safe to
assert that the shipments for 1889 will
greatly exceed those f1SSS. The compile
