One of the most important enterprises
now under way in the Tintic district is
the driving of the Sioux-Ajax tunnel.
which, in its course, will open up a large
extent of virgin territory. This tunnel.

OF work, and when it is completed it will
be of untold benefit to the district.
As an illustration of what can be done
with the low grade ores of Camp Floyd
a profit, II is only necessary to point TO

cur which. during the month of Novem-
Der. treated ore that averaged 1888 in god
TO the ton, and the cleanup for the
month amounted to over $6,O00.

triet, and ii IS stated that he has secured
a ten days option on the Hogan group
of five claims adjoining the La CiFale
mine on the north. The bond calls for
the payment of 81. 600, and if the property

believe that Mr. Nicol will take it up.
The western sales agent of the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company takes ex-
ception to the press reports contained in
Herald, stating that the COM
pany had closed down. The report is
without foundation, he says, excepting
