TINTICS GREAT WEALTH
The Great Camp Is Still Sending Out
Millions.
a Comparative Quiet Year. But Much Has
Been Done-EmproVem
Made.

''phe Tintic country, - is the name ap-
piled to the mining district in Juab
county, Utah, which contains such valu-
able properties as the Bullion Beck,
Eureka Hill, Centennial Eureka, Key
stone, Caroline and other mines that have
a worldwide reputation. 1t is undoubt-
edly one of the richest mineral sections in
the world.
For many years it was kept back owing
to mediocre transportation facilities, and,
indeed, it may be said that only within
the last year has the district been fully
supplied. For many years after Tintic
had produced her millions, all ore from
and supplies for the mines were hauled a
distance OF forty miles, over roads that
were anything but inviting to the team
sters.
With the Union Pacific already in the
field enjoying rich harvest, it was not
long before the good business Judgment
of the Rio Grande Western was brought
into play, and early in the present year
the Tintic branch of the Little Giant''
was completed, giving the three main
camps-Eureka, Mammoth and Silver
City-comprising the Tintic district, the
best railway facilities Of any in the terri
tory.
Tintic, in common with other mining
sections OF the west, has suffered consid-
erably during the past few months owing
TO the depression in lead and silver, but
nevertheless she has shown a spirit of
enterprise that under the circumstances
is little less than remarkable. Among
other strides in the right direction in
Eureka, an incorporation has been eff
fected and careful and conservative men
chosen to manage her affairs.
There have also been many improve
ments OF puoIc and private nature-the
erection of a large number of cottages,
the construction of the mammoth hoist
ing works of the Centennial Eureka and
keystone mines, and the building OF sew
eral business houses.
Eureka. of course. is the principal
camp, and there can be found good
schools, churches, pure water, a good
class of citizens and all that can reason
ably be expected in any mining camp
more. indeed, than can be found in others
outside OF Utah. 1t is always best that
men who are known as practical miners
should be quoted IN speaking OF a mining
camp. There is probably no man better
known to the western mining world than
Captain II. w. Smith, for SO many years
a conspicuous figure on the great Com
stock lode, and for a long time mine
Superintendent OF the Bullion Beck. In a
recent interview he said TO the writer:
tsThere never was a mining camp in the
west that has a more promising outlook
than Tintic has today. -Four years ago
expressed the same opinion, and ! have
never had occasion to recall it. All that
S necessary is to let the public become
acquainted with the facts, and with the
best and kindest feelings towards other
sections OF Utah, we must insist that

OTHER SHIPPERS.
Among the light shippers of the year,
whose product is individually small but
collectively large, are the owners or
leasers of the Martha Washington, Treas

Tesora, Gum Drop, Showers, Rising Sun,
The Park, Morning Glory, Butcher Boy

that the Bullion Beck and Mammoth
companies have purchased the rights OF
o. P. Rockwell to the water in Cherry
creek, and viii put In a pumping plant
which will raise the fluid to the height of
Mammoth mountain. This, among other
things, will afford the Mammoth people
plenty of water with which to work the
dump by some cheap process, the exact
nature of which is yet to be decided upon.
1t is also given out on very good au-
thority that j. Q. Packard, the Eureka
Hill millionaire, viii put up big mill
near Homansville, which will probably
cost $40, 600 to $50, 600.
SHIPMENTS FOR THE YEAR.
The total output for the year 1891 was
1853 ,730 pounds. This year, owing to
the depressed condition of the metal mar
ket, it will be somewhat reduced.

The mining Industry of Utah is
theme to which volumes might be de-
voted. The struggles of the men who in
the early days first embarked in the work
which has since added SO much
to the wealth of the world; the
hardships they endured; the diff
culties and obstacles surmounted; the
final establishment of the fact
that Utah was one of the richest mineral
sections in the entire territory, could it
all be written, would read more like a
fairy tale than actual facts, ell occurring,
it might be said, within a few miles of
this city.
Although it is many years-nearly a
score-since mineral was first discovered
in Utah, and while the territory has,
during that time, produced millions upon
millions from her various camps, it is the
invariable opinion OF ali who have any
knowledge of the true state OF affairs,
that mining in Utah is yet in its infancy;
that to use an expressive miners term it
has not yet been even scratched and
that copper and gold, which have
been found. as yet in limited quantities
only, viii yet prove to be as abundant as
silver and lead Notwithstanding all
this, the position of Utah among the
mining states and territories is most
enviable one. and Utah viii yet rank
ahead OF the best of ali her present COM
petitors. Everything considered, the
showing made by our mines, mills and
smelteTs this year is most desirable one,
and the progress in the future viii be
much faster than that of the past.
Park City. Tintie, Bingham, Big Cot
tonwood, Little Cottonwood, Stockton,
Frisco, Fish Springs, Deep Creek, Dug
way, Iron county and the other districts
have all made most excellent showings,
while good indications have been re
ported from various other parts OF the
territory. The progress made during the
years 1892 is shown by the following
table. which is apprOximatelY correct:

1t is as yet too early in the year to give
the exact figures in dollars of the mineral
output OF 1892, but it viii probably not
fall very short OF 1891. The depression
in silver and lead viii doubtless have its
effect, but even then the showing viii
compare favorably with that OF other
places.

While there was vast amount of ear
nest work done, hundreds OF claims To-
Gated and a great deal of ore shipped be-
tween the date of the organization of the
camp and 1872, it was not until the latter
wear that Bingham attracted much atten
ton in Utah; and the town was then
comparatively unknown outside OF Utah.

the ore has been shipped; there is con-

the Northern Spy than in the Bullion

present. The Spy has been heavy pro-
