TINTlC MINING DISTRICT,
UTAH.

Inc I1ntic Mining District lies eighty
five miles south Of Salt Lake City on the
Rio Grande Western Railway, and is, as
shown by the records Of 1895 and 80 far
in the present year, the greatest mineral
producing district In Utah.
The names of the great bonanzas OF
Tintic. the Mammoth, Centennial
Eureka. Bullion Beck, Eureka Hill and
Gemini, are recognized everywhere that
the mining industry is known. The
four former have each record exceed
ing 81 .0O0 900 in dividends and the later
of over 100000.
Until within the last two or three
ysazs 10 adequate msAns of reduction
of Tfntic ores was rnUpprattUn fu -efrr-
district and tile production Of mines
was limited to those ores sufficiently
rich to be shipped to smelters for treat
ment. but this has been changed by the
erection of immense combination and
concentration Of milling plants which
can work at a profit those immense de-
posits of low grade ores which fll all the
producing mines of the district. Four
of these mills are in active operation,
and three others will undoubtedly be
erected within the next year.
The ores of Tintic are greatly diversi-
fed in character. The principal metals
produced are gold, silver, copper and
lead. In silver production Tintic leads
the state. while in the production of
gold it stands second on the list. Be-
sides the big bonanzas above mentioned
there are some twenty-five or more prop
critics that now and in the past have
been producing mines. and to these may
be added score Of others which have
paid for their development by their pro-
ducts, and upon the recent revival Of
the mining industry has had the effect
OF recommencement Of operations.
Tintic has four thriving TOWNSHIP
reka, the business center Of the district.
with q population Of $500; Mammoth,
population 1000; Robinson and Silver
City. 500 each, all Of which offer great
Inducements for investments in q busi-
ness way.
At the base Of the foothills only a few
miles away. is q valley Of 25,O00 acres OF
fruit and garden lands, watered by the
Mt. Nebo Land and Irrigation COM
pany.
+, As to the future OF Tintic, 1t il no ex-
agsrstion to say that 1t possesses the
brightest prospects Of any mining dis
trict In Utah. and offers to the prospec-
tive investor opportunities which can.
not be excelled.
The Rio Grande Western Railway has
Z double daily train service between
Salt Lake City and the Tintic Mining
District. For further particulars apply

a journey almost as sacred as That of
the pilgrimage to Mecca by the devout
Nahommednn. As the distance lcs-
scned and the time neared, the travellers
became more numerous, ,andit seemed
as II Greece dispatched all her bravest
antistrongest and noblest sons into these
coIEerging currents. On horseback
and muleback, on foot and in litter,
solie carrying their simple luggage
upsn their backs, some with elaborate
wagons containing splendid camp
cqiipage and the richest wines and
foxls guarded by a retinue of servants,
thy choked each route with an army of
tesming life. The five festival days were
yreat national picnic, where almost
everything was enjoyed in the open air
urder glorious midsummer sky. A
few Of the distinguished visitors were
cared for in the temples; but major
it., even of the wealthy. chose the free
lib of their own tents.
The daily scene, one can fancy, was
rih with life and pictorial effect. One
of the fairest of Greek valleys, with
srow-crowned heights in the back
gpund, it's own bosom crowned with
TIN white-pillared beauty of q hundred
telples and public edifices, is filled
with thousands of tents OF every color,
lih gigantic flowers. During the hours
wf.n the visitors do not resort to the
staium to thrill with the terrible
struggles of the runners or wrestlers
or boxers, or to watch the smoking
hoses in the hippodrome, they amuse
themselves at the booths of the traders
an. chapmen. For from all parts Of
thu civilized world merchants have
gaAered to sell their wares, ranging
fm the rarest Jewels and most elab-
date goldsmith work to simple ar
$les of daily use.

The speed of railway train in
miles per hour can, it is claimed, be
found by counting the number of rails
over which a car wheel passes in 20.3
seconds, because 2O.3 seconds bears the
same ratio to an hour that 80 feet, the
length of q rail, bears to mile. The
fish plates or the thumps may be count
ed. Thus, supposing that 80 thumps
are made by wheel in 2O.3 seconds, the
train is then running at the rate of
20 miles an hour.

When I went from New York to Vir-

very religious and sincere, while, am
afraid, was neither. Invent to church,
though, because everybody was expect
ed to go. One of the regular attendants
was sort of half lawyer, half farmer,
who was no more religiously inclined
than was, and we became firm friends
through our mutual sense of humor.
The one church was presided over by n
worthy couple. By that I mean that
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Carter, preached.
while Rev. Mrs. Carter did evangelical
work in teaching the Bible class. She
had an air of omniscience that was de-
lightful, but it irritated my farmer-law-
yer friend, so one day he came to me
and said:
"'I'll give you calf if you will take

for the day was the account of the walk

by our teacher on the beauties of the

cit was t likely that the good wcm-
an had ever heard of the substance, but
she was not to be caught mapping, so
she replied:
Why-er-yes, I think so.'
''The lesson was brought to a sudden
close. The next Sunday we knew that

Electric Bitters is medicine

more generally needed when the
languid, exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of tonic and altera-
tive is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Head
