What Is Going on in the Various Mines Of
Tintic.
reservoir was recently struck in the
long drift connecting the Colorado Chief
with the keystone shalt The drift is be-
ing run to connect with the 00foot level
of the keystone. The water did not reach
the drift level, but stone dropped into the
assure and splashed as if there was great
body of water below. Eureka is built on
syenite that bounds the lime basin, in
which the mines are found. and water is
found everywhere by digging from ten to
forty feet, but all the mines are as dry as q
powder house down 1900 feet. 1t is sup
posed that the cave was filed through a
seam in the formation, as the contact is
close to the drift.
THE BULLIoN-BECK
is great mine. The limit of her output is
gagged by the capacity of the large hoist
ing engine A large body of very rich ore
is being worked close to the surface, east
of the shaft. A shaft is to be sunk from
| the surface to work this ore body and give
better ventilation to that part of the mine.
The train of cars loaded with ore from the
! Beck mine daily is big advertisement for
| Eureka, and as there is enough in sight to
last for a long time will be a big induce
ment for would-be investors to put money
into some of the many promising prospects
! to be had for a small outlay.
THE KEYSTONE
is shipping its usual tonnage of very rich
ore. This property takes the lead now in
value of output, An electric plant is being
put IN place and the mine will soon be
lighted up with the modern light. Work is
going on rapidly and the new shaft, the tenn
porary engine is being placed and will soon
be ready to do the hosting. The big
boilers for the new hosting engine are on
the ground but will not be set up until the
spring opens. MIR. King is running the
mine during the absence of Bob May, who
is in Salt Lake on the sick list, and work is
progressing satisfactorily everywhere in
this great mine.
The Caroline, John Beck's pocket book,
is shipping a great deal of rich ore and
would be in the front rank of the big
payers if equipped with a suitable hoist.
The owner of SUCH property can order
oysters every meal.
THE CENTENNIAL EUREKA
is working along smoothly and just send.
ing out enough ore to keep up its reputation
and pay the regular dividends. Superin-
tendent j. d. Kendall is in Chicago in the
interest of the company, buying the equip
ment for the new hoist
The Eureka Hill has not started to shiI
any ore, as the grading for the new rail
road is not yet completed. There will be-
many more men employed as soon as the
company begins to stope and hoist but
there is an die man here to fill every de
mand for labor.
The Eagle is reported sold. This is s
most promising mine and 1t is to be hoped
j l--lls
company with means to thoroughly de.
velop it.
Hunt and Hunter are hunting for ore il
the Lakeview on Godiva mountain, witt
: good prospects of a successful hunt.
) Norman d. Mcleod is working on tn,
: Victoria, on Godlva mountain, with mos
ratifying rusults. as he has struck
feeder of ore that promises to lead to
, good, big body. When spring opens Godiy;
, mountain will be the liveliest part of Tin
tic, as there are most alluring Indication
of big bonanZas all over it.
Jimmy Harrington and Jack Bolger ar
in 200 feet in their tunnel on the Farragu
IN NORTH TINTIo,
they expect to strike the vein early mex
month ana if successful the north end O
I the belt will be looked after next season.
Dick Tone struck a cave in the Retribu
= tion tunnel that was filled with blac
r quartz, manganese and iron, showing tina
3 the vein is not far away. The Retribu,io
2 is on direct line with the big producer
/ and only 400 feet from the wonderful Key
: stone end line, Prof. Hikes, of the ColC
S RADIO school of mines. examined this prop
erty recently and expressed the belief ths
little outlay would make this prospect
r big mine.
Owing to the depth of snow on the hill
but little work is being done. but the boy
are all fixing for vigorous compaign whe
the weather will permit The fact that tn
c. W. b. and d. & r. companies are to b.
gin work soon on their valuable propertie

} There was a cave in the keystone sha-
6 at the 200-foot level this week that OIL
i placed the shalt timbers, necessitatlng th
r stopping of the engine for short time.
