the work that IS being done il Tintic-

is already quite well posted on the opera

the babies. as it were. or course, il is i'm
possible that this sketch should contain al
that is being done, but hope to follow
with another article which will pay special
attention TO those which have been neces-
sarily omitted owing to lack Of time. etc.
The Mammoth, Centennial Eureka Eu-
reka Hill. Bullion-Beck-Champ and
keystone have been great producers for
years, and from bodies OF ore now in sight
bid fair to continue go for many years TO
come. Owing. however, principally to the
low price Of silver, the volume OF work
being done and force employed is not as
great as could be wished for, bus win I'M
ooubtedly be increased to full capacity
before the summer is over
THE MAMMOTH
has force Of about 100 men at work which
will probably be increased in 9 very short
time. They are making regular shipments
but not the amount which would be posi-
bic were the mine running under full force
IL is reported that large and extremely
rich body Of silver and lead ore was struck
during the past week
cENFEisNIAL-EUREKA.
Owing to the work attendant upon the
erection OF their fne new hosting works,
coupled with the low price OF silver, the
stockholders of the Centennial Eureka
have resolved to make only such shipments
as are necessary in order 10 pay running
expenses. The work on the plant is pro-
ceeding very satisfactorily. and will be
ready 70 raise the coming week. Ia addi-
tion to this work they are making many
valuable Improvements, which will largely
increase the capacity OF the mine, such as
eniarging their shaft, improving and in
creasing the size Of their outbuildings, etc.
The present force at work in the mine
proper is about sixty, who are largely EN-
pioyed on dead work.
TIE EUREKA HILL
has almost entirely suspended operations,
having a force o. only about twenty-five
men employed. They are making only
few meager shipmenls, the reason assigned
for this condition being the all-powerful
one OF the low price OK silver. IL IS. how
ever, reported that the Eureka Hill win
commence running under full force during
the present month.
THE BULLION BECK CHAMPION
Is making the bestshowing OF all the larger
mines. and the owners have given sssur-
ances that no stop viii be made. They are
working total OF 225 men in two shifts,
and are making regular shipments OF
seventy-hve to eighty tons per day.
TIE KEYSTONE PEOPLE
are rapidly going ahead with the erection
Of their new hosting works, which viii be
the finest plant in Tintic, IL not in Utah.
Ia addition TO the force engaged upon this
work, there are thirty men employed 10
dead work, aud several large bodies Of ore
have been uncovered, the estimated value
OF one Of them being 100000 No ship
ments are being made. and there will prob
ably be none until the completion Of the
new works, which from Indications will be
in the near future.
With this sketch Of the old mines we
will pass into a description Of the principal
prospects and new producers, as nearly as
time and space viii permit
