MAMMOTH, Jan. ~, lebI.-At pres.
ept there 10 much activity at the
Graud Central mine, and several men
are at work excavating for the new ore
hing. Some OF the officers OF the
property Waited the mine few days
ago anu we learn that they are well
sAtltilsd with the good showing OF the
vein which the Grand Central now
has beyond doubt.
According to present reports con.
cerning the vein 1t 10 very large one
and Of immense proportions. And II
the size was given, 1t would hardly be
credited by mining men, but never
theless, such is the case.
There Is still considerable talk
around Mammoth and the whole OF
the Tintio district, about the Grand
Central strike, and 1t is only
matter OF little time until the
mine will be one Of the
richest shippers In Utah. One
oldtime mining man waa heard to re.
mark that the Grand Central would be
far ahead Of the great Mammoth
mine, and would rival the famous
Centennial Eureka In time. The
company now has some fifteen TO
twenty tons OF rich looking ore up
from tho mine, but will not attempt TO
make any consignmeuts until the new
ore bins have been completed, which
Will probably bs by the end OF this
month. The great ore body Ia some
twenty feet In thickness audlwas en-
countered on the 700-ioot level
at distance of four hundred anu
ninety feet in southeasterly direc-
lion, and as lear as can be estimated
the vein lie one thousand feet from the
surface.
There Is no doubt but that in little
while the East rintic railway will
construct spur from the Mammoth
mine to the Grand Central, as the
distance lie quite short between the
two great mini ng properties.
STRIKE AT THE ANNARDALE.
According to Information just re-
ceived the Annardale Mining com.
pany ia in good luck. For the psst
few months the Annardale, situated
between the Centennial Eureka aud
the Optx property, has been worked
and shalt sunk come sixty five feet
by Messrs. Oglesby and Yundt, and
We are pleased TO state that the miners
struck some good copper ore nj the
bottom Of the shaft two days ago. As
yet tue returns from assays cannot be
learned. The Annardale chat Is very
close to the Opex mine and the Emer-
AID property, and six months hence
the Mammoth hollow will undoubted-
ly fhow up some wonderful mining
properties which Will make the towns
OF Mammoth and Robinson into one
great mining camp.
THE oPEx COMPANY.
The Opex people are working three
shifts OF men and the properly Is look
ing as bright rs eould reasonably be
expected. 1t is reported that the Opex
company will have Burley drill at
work very shortly. This property Is
one of the most promising mines la
the hollow and like the Grand Cen.
trail the company means business.
The Alaska Mining company lie
making good heaaway at the Alaska
properly. The shaft 10 down ninety
feet and 10 being timbered all the way.
There is only one more set OF iimbers
to be put In the shaft and when that
commence sinking and ritting. The
Alaska is an old time mine and has
been lying idle for many years until
the present company took mold OF 1t.
The mine has made many rich ship.
ments in the past and with COED judg-
ment and q little Systematic develop.
ment work there IL no reason why the
mine should not become fairly good
producer in the near future. There
are some eight men employed at the
mine.
HARD HAULING.
The team sters hauling ore from the
Sioux Consolidated and Utah mines
have encountered some pretty hard
work the last few days. One of the
men states that two anow.elides
occurred ON Sunday and Monday last
and 1t was with much difficulty tha at
the men were able TO get their huge
ore wagons along the Sioux road, 1t
being biockaded with Bome six feet of
snow. The Utah and Sioux Consoli.
dated are making come ialrly good
shipments and the teams are busy
hauling to the mills and cars. The
Sioux made shipment oil bullion last
Tuesday.
A GooD PAY ROLL.
The Mammoth Mining company
came to the front yesterday with
good sized pay roll amounting TO about
eighteen thousand dollars. The COM
psny Will be somewhat lively during
the week.
HANY IDLE MINERS.
Several miners have arrived In camp
from the Mercnr aist:lct and they say
that there are . number OF
Idle men there, The great camp
being overrun with Ininers. sue raAn
Remarked that there were over
seventy-fve miners out OF employ
ment In the Mercur district. Miners
out OF employment should keep away
from Mammoth, as there arc quite
number OF men already out OF work In
The Tintio district.
