Items of Interest Concerning the
Mines of Tintic.

The Utah company is steadily ship
ping their high grade gold ore. The
value of recent shipments is said to be
about $500 in gold per ton. Farrell s
company made no mistake when they
took hold of this property. The Sioux
is also producing steadily and the work
of the new mill is most satisfactory.

made in Godiva a few days ago. be-

now at work on the property retimber-

tory to commencement of active min

70 feet of water in the shaft which will
have to he pumped out in order to
reach their best ore body which is
located on the $50 foot level. This ore
is high grade silver and lead and the
vein is from two and one-half to four
feet wide. The King James has pro-
duced considerable good ore in the
past and with proper working will be
a good paying proposition.

The dealing on change yesterday
was repetition, with slight variations,
of what has been done day by day
throughout the week, and, taken from
any point Of view, the good that the
exchange is daily accomplishing, can
not be overestimated. The interest
taken in the daily transactions on the
board seems unabated, and front seats
in the lobby are always at a premium
The week, from financial point Of
view, shows decided gain over the
dealings of The week before, as the sale
of several of the leading stocks were
chronicled, including Ontario, Mercur.
