Tintic Miner Notes.

A new strike of rich lead carbonate
ore is reported to have been made by
John Cobbley and associates in the
vicinity of the Annie Cons. Mining
companys property near Canon Sid
ing: At this writing we are unable to
give particulars.
Charley Parker and Gus Doetsch are
working a group of sixteen claims be-
tween two and three miles north of
Bolder and are reported to have Sc
cured some first class assays. They
expect to continue the development
until they have secured something
that will pay.
Manager Green of the Buckeye re-
ports a big body of shipping ore at
the bottom of the 270 foot shaft. He
also states that they have just struck
a new body of lead on the 200 level
which they are now taking out and
will be ready for shipment in a few
days. The Buckeye will make a re-
cord this summer.
The work on the Provo power plant
extended mention of which has here
tofore been made in the Miner is re-
ported to be rapidly progressing and
it is stated that the lines for the trans
Tintic and Mercur some time in June
or July. This will be an appreciated
innovation on account of convenience
and cheapness Of the power furnished
and the company will undou btedly
meet with liberal patronage here.
R. T. Harvey, vlce-president of the
Black Bart Mining company of North
Tintic, came in last Saturday evening
and commenced work on that property
with a small force of men Tuesday
morning Mr.. Harvey advises us that
work will be continued all summer.
Assays running as high as 81 in gold
have been secured from the property
and it is confidently expected that ore
will be struck in a short distance.
Shipments from the district for the
past week are reported as follows:
From the Bullion-Beck mine 25 car
loads ore, from the Bullion-Beck mil
10 car loads concentrates, from the
Observation-Disclosures car loads ore,
from the Eureka Hill mill car loads
concentrates, from the Mammoth
mine car loads ore, from the Mann
moth mill bars bullion, from the
Ajax car loads ore, from the Sioux 8
car loads ore, from the North Star 2
car loads ore, from the Dragon Iron
mine 2 car loads daily
The Centennial-Eureka paid off last
Friday. We are pleased to learn that
this company is making a steady in
crease in its force of employees and at
the present rate it will be but short
time until the number is brought back
to that employed before the draft
This circumstance is generally taken
as an indica ton that the deal with
the syndicate is closed and that the
new company is practically in control,
although announcement is withheld
until several other side deals in con-
nection with adjoining property are
closed up. We hope that this impress
sion is the correct one as it will mean
a much more extended system of
operations and another big mill for
Tintic.
The recent new ore strikes in the
Mammoth mine and the many ship
ments of high grade ore, coupled with
the fact that the company is rapidly
freeing itself from the Indebtedness
occasioned by the erection and i'm
provement of the mill and the building
of the most magnificent water system
in Utah, is having a tendency lately
to send the price of Mammoth stock
rapidly skyward. 1t is now reported
that a dividend will be strictly in
order in June The Mammoth COM
pany has paid a total of $1,000,000 in
dividends but no distribution has been
made since November 1891. The mine
is, however, looking better than it has
at any previous period and the story
of a coming dividend is readily &C
copied by those acquainted with the
prOperty
