Joseph S. Hyde, M. D. Bowen and
others interested in the Indiana group
of mines in North Tintic are making
arrangements to do development work
upon the property as soon as the
weather becomes settled.
A fine ledge of galena ore was found
yesterday that has the appearance of
containing some value, by party of
prospectors, about one and a half
miles further down the canyon from
where the gold stampede occurred last
week.
Another shipment of ore from the
Godiva mine is being loaded. A cave
of considerable extent, but not yet full
ly explored has been broken into in
the face of the south drift from the
bottom of the VIM on the tunnel level.
The ore appears to be making in grade
and extent in both the north and
south drifts. and we have no doubt
shipments will soon become a regular
feature of this property.
WEST TINTIC-News reaches the
Democrat that negotiations are on for
a mill at the Mt Pleasant mine, out on
the desert in West Tfntic. Four men
have been employed on the property
since last August and the workings
now show a body of ore running $25 in
gold and silver. Colorado mining men
have reported favorably on the loca-
ton. R. w. Whitaker is one of the
owners Dick is an old-time Tfnttc
man and an all-around hustler in a
quiet way.
The gold discovery reported in HON.
ansville canyon last week does not car
ry out the enthusiasm with which 1t
was inaugurated. A good deal OF
ground has been staked, but the assays
have put damper on enthusiasm
Those who dreamed of assays up in the
thousands are disappointed. Some Of
them are mad; they are even ready to
swear that anybody who says that
rock out there will go $4,000 ton is an
idiot. The fact is that outside of the
Provo parties, no assays have been
obtained that carry any high values IN
either gold or silver, and it is further
limited that salt was literally sprink-
led around the hole where the big as
says are said to have come from. 1t
was raw work, however. The country
is a good one to prospect and to the
west of this excitement are some good
gold properties, and such a rank fake
as was perpetrated last week is mat
ter of regret to those who hold merton
iOuS properties IN the VICINITY.
The Four Aces mine, adjoining the
Swansea, is developing into fine prop
erty. Recently the present owners de-
cided to purchase the interest not own
ed by them and incorporate in order
to systematize the work. Since that
time work has been vigorously pushed
ahead with fiattering results. On Sat
urady we were fortunate to meet H. e.
Booth and J. R. Slater of the manage
ment upon the ground and through
their courtesy to be fully able to verify
all that rumor has made current about
this mine. The shaft is now down 157
feet and will be continued until it
reaches four hundred. At depth of
100 a drift was run to the north TWEEN
ty-six feet, from which a car load of
ore was marketed that sampled 70
ounces silver, SO per cent lead and 81
in gold: with another car ready for
shipment. A drift has also been start
ed to the south in the same character
of ground The ore at the bottom of
the shaft shows decided improve
ment from that already broke and
shipped. There is no stock reserved
for a treasury nor none for sale, the
incorporatOrs are using their private
means to put the mine upon a paying
basis with assured success. Owing to
the scarcity of water in the locality
the management have decided to erect
a hosting plant with gasoline engine
and other up to date appliances. Four
Aces has always been a top hand, and
we believe this mine is well named.
