The Red Rose mine, near Silver City.
Tintic, is one Of the most promising
properties in that locality, and with
proper and scientific development would
doubtless open up into one of the great
est producers in the south end of the
district
For several years work in the pros
pecting of the Red Rose has been car
ried on by William Groesbeck, David
James and others. A tunnel was run
some distance into the mountain, and
statibn made from which point the
working shaft was started, from which
various levels were run. The indica-
tions have been most favorable from
the start, and small shipments OF high
grade ore have been made, but mineral
in paying quantities was never uncov-
cred. although it is confidently belieV-
ed that with greater depth the rich
ore zone of the district would be tap
ped, especially as this property is just
across the gulch from the North Star
mine, a noted gold producer recently
stocked by H. w. Lawrence and Milan
Packard, and also not very far from
the great Dragon iron mine, which is
believed to be the feeder and fountain
head for all of the producing ground N
its vicinity.
The lack of means, however, and the
crash that came in 1888 retarded the
DEVELOPMENT of the Red Rose, and
eventually it became swamped in liti-
cation. which went through its weary
length in Provo last winter, the result
being that the title to the mine was
vested in the National Bank of the
Republic. of this city, and yesterday,
in behalf of the bank. Mr.. E. o. Lee, of
the we'll kl.ovn law firm of Booth,
Lee &. Cray. went out to Silver City
for the purpose of taking possession
of the same.
This he had no difficulty in doing,
and before leaving he placed the prop
erty in charge of MeSSrs. Stewart and
Burk, two Ajax miners, who VIII en-
ploy their time in cleaning out the
Old workings of the mine preparatory
to increasing the force and developing
the mine in a systematic manner
The Red Rose is most faVorably 10
Gated. and in the minds of mining men
who are acquainted with the ground
and formation. there exists no doubt as
to the future of the property.
Mr.. Lee. who is one of the officers and
heavy stockholders Of the Four Aces
Yer. made visit to this property be-
fore returning home. The -Four Aces,
Mr.. Lee states, is now showing up %
feet of stopping ground on the $50 foot
level. and within a few days now one
or two men y 4 be employed in break
ing down the ore, which runs high in
silver and lead. In the meantime, a
force Of eight men is engaged at the
mine and the work of sinking is being
steadily pushed, it being the Intention
TO go to the 500 foot level before heavy
shipping is begun. A carload of high
grade ore is already out for shipment,
and 20 this viii be added another car
load within a few days. when con-
sienment TO the samplers will doubtless
be made.
The gasoline engine and hoist at the
Four Aces is giving excellent satisfac-
tibn. The future outlook for the mine
is excellent. and it is given out on good
authority that the company could now
make regular ore shipments and pay
dividends if desired.
Mr. Lee says that there is a great
zeal of activity around Silver City just
low. and that the showing made in
he Swansea, the Star and other mines
n and around this now promising camp
is Of most enc0ura ging nature.
