spent year ago. making the Mammoth
one of the most complete mining plants
in the entire west. Nearly 81 200, 900 has
been paid in dividends to shareholders in
the past few years, and there is every
reason to believe that many more millions
are to come. The big gold strike of the
present year caused increased confidence
in the property, and stimulated tc a great
degree many of the good properties IN the
immediate vicinity. The advent of the
Rio Grande Western into this section OF
Tintic has had wonderful inspiring eff
feet on mining men who hold properties
thereabout.
THE AUGUST AND BAVARIA
are owned by Judge Allan A. Smith. The
ore carries 50 ounces silver and from 20 to
25 per cent. lead.
THE COPPEROPOLIS.
Among the best mines in the entire
Tintic district is the Copperapolis. II has
produced much good ore in the past, and
there is considerable yet in sight. Why
it should be allowed to lie idle is d mys-
teIy that only its owners may solve. A
prominent miner said to the writer re-
Gently, that he believed the Copperopoiis
to be one of the best mines in the West.
THE TINTIc IRON MINES.
The Tintic iron mines are among the
most remarkable in the entire territory,
ank about the only ones that are worked
to any extent. Properly speaking, they
are not mines, but quarries, as they are
ali out of doors, requiring no tunnels,
shafts or inclines. They are located about
two miles from Silver City, III Dragon
! Hollow, and are owned by the Tintic Iron
&C mpany, in which John Sharp, w. w.
Ritter, George Y Wallace, G. W. Lyman
and other Salt Lakers are interested. The

and when the Horn Silver smelter was
running, the output was considerably
larger than it now is. This year the

haustible. Experts believe that it will
, not be long ere a big body of silver will
be struck in the IRON quarries. Several
very good indications have already been
encountered, and there are numerous
silver lodges in close proximity. The
mine is under the uperintendency OF Mr.
L. e. Ritter.
THE UTAH CHIEF
is owned by w. c. B. Allen, and shows a
very reasonable amount OF low grade ore.
THE UNDINE,
owned by II. D. Jones, is among the best
OF the smaller shippers, and among the
most reliable. 1t was frequently heard
from during the year and may be classed
as among the promising properties of
Tlntic. A fine steam hoist was lately
erected, and from now on shipments, it
may reasonably be expected, viii be large
and more frequent. There is great deal
of ore in sight.
THE MONTEREY.
The Monterey is one of the Oldest prop
critics i'll the district, and was idle for

took hold and worked it until they struck
a body of ore going as high as 800 ounces
silver and 30 per cent. copper. Some of
the ore has been shipped; there is con-
siderable more on the dump and in sight
NORTHERN SPY.
According to statements made by inter
ested parties, there is more ore in sight in
the Northern Spy than in the Bullion
Beck, but yet nothing is being done at
present. The Spy has been a heavy pro-
Queer in years gone by, however, and
there are now rumors of a big deal by
which the Spy will again become one OF
the famous Tintic's big mines.
THE NORTH STAR.
The North Star is among the new prop
critics OF Tintic. 1t is now under lease to
! Del Roberts and has produced ore going
$50, 0G0 to the ton.
THE BOSS TWEED
is located north of the North Star. and is
o vned by the Boston Tintic Mining COM
pady. 1t has been developed by tunnel
and Wine, and has produced very well
considering the time it has been operated :.
The ore runs high in gold. 1t is one of
the future goats.
THE RED ROSE.
The Red Rose, owned by William Groes-
beck, OF Salt Lake, will yet prove to be
little less than a marvel. 1t has not been
a very heavy producer as yet, but can be
whenever its owner desires to let the ore
90 out. 1t is now being systematically
developed, and will yield abundantly
during the coming year.
THE oPHoNGo.
This property is owned by William Hat
field and James A. Shear. 1t is located in
Mammoth hollow. There is plenty OF
good ore in sight, the shaft being down
| 200 feet. Few shipments have vet been
made, but this year viii find the Ophongo
among the producers of Tintic.
THE cARIsA.
Several shipments came from the Ca
risa, which has been steady producer
for some years past. There is plenty of
| ore in sight which averages so TO 100
ounces silver and SO to 40 per cent copper.
THE IRON NINE.
Located east OF the Spy is the Iron
mine, owned by A. a. Noon and others,
OF Provo. a contract was recently signed
under which the owners agree to furnish
during the coming year go, 600 tons of
iron ore. The ore carries so per cent.

TINTIc TUNNEL COMPANY.
The Tintic Tunnel company's opera
lions on Godiva mountain are being
watched with no little interest. It's con-
fidently expected that large body of ore
will be cut in very short time.

The Anaconda is on the top of Godiva
mountain. The ore is OF low grade, but
