Tintic Miner Notes.

The Bullion Beck company has pur-
chased the Progress and Good Luck
mill sites in Homansville canyon from
John Beck and w. H. Moeller. These
springs are said TO have good flow
of water and will be valuable addi-
ton to the Beck's supply of that COM
modify.
j. W. Game and A. Leicester, who
represent an eastern syndicate, were
in camp Monday and Tuesday to close
up the deal involving the Tesora and
Independent claims southeast of Sill

that work will be commenced as soon
as the deal is closed and a shaft will
be sunk to a depth of 500 feet to thor
oughly develop the property.
Captain H. H. Sowles was over from
the Spy country Saturday. He reports
the I.akeview as unable to ship owing
70 inability to get the ore out through
the Sioux tunnel 1t is promised that
this will be remedied this week, how

1t is reported that Manager Robinson
OF the Sioux Consolidated, has a tunnel
project in view from the Sioux work
ings through the mountain to Nam
moth Hollow, distance of 5000 feet
The object of the tunnel is said to be
the saving in the cost of transporta-
ton of the Sioux ore frem the mine to
the mill, and we understand the out
let is through the Ajax mine 1t is a
big project, but we have no doubt of
the ability of the Sioux company to
put it through.
E. N. Jenkins came out Tuesday to
look over the operations on the Whit
taker. He states to the Miner man
that he expects the return of his Den
yer associates in a few days when the
operations will be more vigorously
pushed than ever. The project of a
tunnel from the Mammoth to tap the
Whitaker and adjacent ground is now
being considered and Mr.. Jenkins says
il is sure to go through The work
Will probably be done by the Mammoth
company under contract and will tap
a vast extent of unexDlored territory
we nope the scheme will materialiZe
