busiest place IN u tan, TIE mud ana SluSn,
however, make no difference to the people
here; as long as they get the precious
metals from the bowels of the earth they
are satisfied. Your reporter started
through the different mining camps in
Tintic last week for the purpose Of letting
the readers of THE HERALD know some
thing of one of the greatest mining camps
In the world, as well as to interview the
business men who 1--we here. The mineral
belt north and northwest of Eureka at
tracted but very little attention until the
last year. Several well known mining
men who looked over the field and saw the
possibilities of the great veins with quartz
and iron groupings reported SO favorably
that nearly all who had claims in that To-
cality pushed work with renewed energy
and many new corners stocked off claims
until the whole surface is located within
the lime basin for six miles northerly. The
general strike of the vein system from
Diamond is north, 80 deg. west until lost in
Rush valley.
John Davis, one of Tintic's Oldest aud
best prospectors, has had an abiding faith
in ''the north countree," and has struck
fine showing for big paying mine.
c. S. Davis, who represents company of
Salt Lake men, has had twenty two claims
surveyed and has men now working some
of them. All of this since New Year.
Messrs. Wetherill and Scott, of Eureka,
and Dan Swan, of the United States mar
shaps Office, have three men at work on the
Shamrock group, north of the Yorkville
tunnel, and no doubt will soon uncover a
bonanza.
THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
in the Yorkville have proved that the vein
system is continuous and carries its strike
direct through the big mines, the Retribu-
ton, and on TO the west of north for miles.
Captain John Dillon and 7. F. Shea have
been prospecting north of Homansvile and
arc iubilant over their discoveries. Cap
tain Bridges has a group of very promising
prospects, upon which much work has been
done. If this group was owned by a rich
company who could afford to develop il
systematically, it would by its output of
wealth give new life to deep exploration
in Tinlc.
Of the great mines of this district, the
Bullion-Beck and Champion, Eureka Hill,
Mammoth, Centennial Eureka, keystone,
Eagle, Northern Spy and the Great Dragon
iron mine, so very much has already been
written and so well are they known to the
world by the thousands and millions paid
their fortunate owners, that it would be
superfuous to write of them; but it has
been said by very well known experts that
mining is but in its baby stages in all of
the properties mentioned. The Bullion
Beck and Champion is hardly in its A b G.
stages, but will, under the liberal manage
ment of A. E. Hyde the experienced super
intendency of Mr.. w. II. Smith, and the
efficient working of Dennis Sullivan, soon
rank as
ONE OF THE GEATEsT MINES ON EARTH.
All modern improvements have been added
TO the line new hosting plant, and
although it cost many thousands of dollars
to equip the mine, this is now one of the
most economically worked mines of the
west
The Eureka Hill is most wonderful
mine and is very wisely managed by ]. O.
Packard. Superintended by that veteran
JohnNfcChrystala and worked under the fore
manship of Denis J. Harrington. The
millions already paid its owners are but an
earnest of what this mine will do in the
future.
The Mammoth, that great producer of
the richest ore taken from the mines of the
west, is now most ably managed by Colonel
Stebbins, and there are few men as capable
of filling the place so long and honorably
filled by the lamented Captain H. H Day.
Colonel Stebbins has very able lieutenant
in Watson Neshit, one Of the Oldest and
most responsible directors of underground
work in Utah. OF the other great pro-
oucers l will say more anon. will now
say word OF those who expect reproduce
A mile and half from the Bullion Beck
is very promising mine, the Pasadena
1t is owned by Salt Lake men,
superintended by j. A Johnson
They are in over sixty feet and
some very promising ore has been taken
out. The indications are that it will rival
those IN the same range.
). N Swarz Il Company, of Eureka
own the Monte Cristo, which the assayer
Of the Observation-Disclosures says produces 80
ounces silver and $3.50 gold. They are
now down over 49, with an outlook of an
abundance Of the precious metal.
OF the business outlook in the camp, the
merchants expect heavy trade in all kinds
of merchandise. The camp is to be con-
graduated upon the great prospects be-
fore 1t.
