EUREKA MINES.


Ghanges-RailroRd Troubles.
The mines of Eureka are turning out
their usual amounts of ore except the
Eureka Hill. The management of this IA
nous producer has ordered no more ore to
be hoisted for the present. 1t is said that
when the Tintic branch of the D. 81 r. G.
Western starts hauling away the ore now
stored in the large bins. which are nearly
full, the company will increase the working
force at once and employ more men than
ever
The Bullion Beck Champion is sending
out an immense lot of ore of good grade
that would be considered very high grade
in any district but Tintic. The mine is
well equipped aud managed and is as sys
tematicelly and economically worked as
any in the mining world. The drifts run
ming north under the Keystone Hill are re-
ported to be looking better than ever and
are helping great deal to bring the
monthly tonnage up to the 1000 mark.
The Keystone is forging to the front
ranks among the big producers, and the ore
looks richer than any now being shipped
from the camp. 1t is safe to say that this
property will add one million ounces to
Tintic's output during the coming year
when the new three compartment shaft is
furnished with an adequate hosting plant.
A weskly output Of 400 tons is not so bad
for a single shaft when the amount of
waste and timbers hauled is considered.
The wagon road to the shaft is nearly com
pleted, and another steam whistle will be
heard here early in January.
The Centennial Eureka is to be fur
nished with new hosting plant that will
be equal to any in Eureka. It is a we'll
known fact that this company can double
its output and dividends at any time Ii
may be deemed advisable to do so, and
when Congress undoes the great wrong of
1873 there will flow from this eagles nest
on Eureka mountain carloads Of ore carry
ing gold as well as silver.
OFFICIAL CHANGES.
County Seiectman Billings returned from
the county court session at Nephi last eve
ming. The court has declared the Jail at
Eureka a county Jail and empowered our
officers to work all prisoners committed
thereto. Sheriff Henroid has been in
structed to employ detectives to look after
the tin-horn gambling fraternity, tramps.
hobos, liquor sellers who violate the Sun
day closing law, and houses of prostitution.
Titus Billings was appointed road super
visor for Tintic road precinct. County
Attorney Adams was asked for his resig-
nation, which was rendered and will take
effect January 4, 1892.
TIE CROWD OF HoBos,
.tramps and toughs that came into town
with the new railroad has been pretty well
thinned out. Our county jail at Nephi is
overcrowded. Our officers are vieilant
and prompt and a terror to evil doors max
ing it too uncomfortable for them to tarry
long in this God-fearing, wealth-producing
community.
MINING BOOM IN PROSPECT
t.,
money circles east that mining is to receive
boom next season. The consequence is
many men of that desirable class known as
capitalists have visited Eureka lately:
taking time by the forelock they are
gathering in the most favorable prospects
just as the hardy prospectors who came to
Tintic when she was but little known
staked of the claims they can now sell to
new corners and order oysters every meal
RAILROAD TROUBLES.
The new railroad people are not having
es smooth sailing as might be asked for
Some claim owners east of town are camp
ing on their prospects and will not allow
the grading to proceed until the right-of-
way is paid for. 1t is TO be hoped that the
company will arrange everything satisfac-
torily, as we all long for the new road as a
kid longs for Santa Claus.
PERSONAL AND GENERAL.
Mrs. Pike and baby arrived here safely
on Thursday last and the United States
court commissioner feels so friendly
towards all creation in consequence that
he will let the hobos off with thirty DAYS
instead Of the usual sixty.
An important sale is on the tapis with
the chances of a northerly extension of the
keystone soon changing owners.
Johnny Morley returned from Provo
Thursday with his bride and ''set 'em up''
right royalty. That's right, Johnny, she's
worth 1t.
The saloons were waited on by a com
mittee of the Miners union who ordered
them TO get rid Of the Anheuser-Busch beer
they had on hand and sell no more of it
after thirty days. The result of the beer
boycott
A committee of the Miners union visited
the Centennial-Eureka mine last night and
ordered the miners to either join the union
within a reasonable time or they would be
compelled TO hoist them out Of the mine.
II we had more incorporated companies
working here Eureka would soon become
the Aspen Of Utah. There is no good rea-
son why the management of close corpo-
ration should make its business known to
outsiders, but if the Eureka Hill, Bullion
Beck and Keystone companies watered
their stocks and then listed them on the
Utah stock board, that should be organ
lied at once in Salt Lake, the demand for
them would be a great advertisement for
Utah's mines, and mining is yet to make
Salt Lake the richest, greatest, finest city
in the inter-mountain country. With the
advantages supplied by nature there is
nothing lacking but push and enterprise in
