from the surface or disco very point, and the in
dications throughout the mine are of the most
encouraging nature. The mine has reached its
million-dollar rank in dividends paid to share |
holders, that having been celebrated on the 10th
of November last. The approach of the Rio
Grande Western railway, which will reach the
foot Of Mammoth hollow by the middle of Feb |
ruary at the latest is eagerly awaited by the
Mammoth people and everybody else having !
claims in that locality. From the grade as
at present indicated, however, the main line
will not reach the mine, but will go on west. A
branch however, can be built at a
reasonable cost and this will I'M
doubtedly be DONE providing the Union
Pacific does not reach Mammoth first,
by extending its line from the neighborhood of
the Eureka Hill at Eureka. In either event

TINTIC IRON MINES,
The Tlntic iron mines are among the most re-
marlable in the entire territory, and
about the only ones that are worked
TO any extent. Properly speaking, they
are not mines, but quarries, as they are
all out of doors, requiring no tunnels
shafts or inclines. They are located about two
miles from Silver City, in Dragon Hallow, and are
owned by the Tintic Iron company, in which
John sharp w. w. Ritter, George Y. Wallace,
C. W. Lyman and other Salt Lakers are inter
ested- The ores are used for huxing purposes
only, and when the Horn Silver smelter was
running the output was considerably larger
than it now is. This year the product will
reach, in round figures, 1900 tons. The supply
is simply ineXhaustible. In a short time work
will be started on an open cut to be made a
couple of hundred feet below the present work
ings, and this will avoid the present steep and
1ortoreous ascent via the dugway TO the mines.
Experts believe that big body of rich silver
ore Will yet be encountered on this property.
There are very good indications, as silver mines
located all around it. The ore is being
mined under the SUPPLEMENTARY Of Mr.. L. e.
Ritter.

of the others, and this tends to retard the
