HISTORY OF TINTIc MINES.
Account of the Location of Several
Properties.

The Silver City Star, in its reminis-
censes of the camp, says:
We this week continue our account
of the locations of the properties which
have contributed to the fame of Tintic.
The Bonanza lode was located Oct
q, 1879, by A. W. Macintosh. This
property was the old Shoebridge of
which we have heretofore given an ac
count and was idle for many years and
was supposed to be patented ground,
but on investigation Macintosh found
that such was not the case, and made
the location. In sinking a new shaft
on the property TO a depth of 125 feet
$4,000 was taken out of the ground
without any drifting Macintosh after
wards went to Montana leaving the
property in charge of c. II. Blanchard,
who subsequently bought it and took
out some very fine ore, one shipment
averaging 169 ounces silver. Native cop
per was also found in the property and
some of the ore from this ground took
the prize at the Centennial.
The Joe Daley was located Oct Is,
1879. by w. w. Hinch. This ground
lies east of the Undine and has pro-
duced some very fine ore. Hinch
worked the property for a number of
years, taking most of the ore from near
the surface 1t is now the property OF
J. II. Rouse and A. F. Baxter, and is
bonded to the Undine Mining company
The Snowflake lode was located Dec.
1, 1879, by Simeon and Squire Steward
1t joins the Bonanza but has never
made much of record. 1t is now the
property of Charles Poynter who for
years has kept up the assessment work. I
The Evening Star lode was located !
Dec. 4, 1879, by W A. Miller. The prop
arty never ranked high as a shipper
out is now being systematically devel-
,ped by the Rabbit Foot Mining COM
1any to whom it belongs.
The Cleveland lode was located Jan
/, 1886. by ". A. Miller and covered a
edge knekn as the Chicago. Shipments
rom this property have run as high as
i, 700 to the ton. Systematic work on
he property would again place it in
he rank of producers. as it's location
$ between here and Mammoth. 1t is
low the property of Captain George
Ryan.

Attorney General Mcfarland has filed
in the cuoreme court a supplemental
petition for a rehearing in the fee law
case Since then the attorney general
has made further investigation of the
subject, and in his supplemental petit
ton he covers a number of new points
and cites a great many additional au-
thorities.

ridges and pan gold He had been min
ing 40 years and had never seen any
thlnS like that. But when he had once
panned the gold for himself he he
came as enthusiastic a believer in the
great value Of the property as anyone
else 90.
One thing that pleased Mr.. Cummings
greatly was the evidence of glacial ac-
ton along Penrod creek and the ero-
sions caused thereby. 1t was this
erosion that ground down the lodges

nalural sluice Joxes of Gold creek and
Fenrod creek bottoms. These bottoms
are crossed by bikes or reefs at inter-
sais, that have acted as rifles to de-
post the gold
II seems strange fact to record that
AFTER 70 years of placer mining along
fenrod creek, bedrock has never been
reached. Holes have been sunk and
the gravel grew richer as depth was
gained, but there never was any vay
to handle the water to reach bedrock
Inc church machine Will solve all this.
What the value is of the gold con-
famed IN these channels one can only
sur1nise, and few care to go on record
with guess. For a thousand acres
on The tit above the creek bottom down
near the Owyhee river a conservative
places the value at about So
yard. And yet these same figures
seem astonishing.
Moreover, beyond this display of
placer treasure, the admitted value of
the Gold Creek property is in the lodes.
The discovery in Crevice gulch is only |
0ne OF the many that will in the near |
future electrify the world.

STRIKE m cREvIcE GULcH.
Source of Placer Gold Discovered at
Gold Creek.

One Of the most important strikes on
the Gold Creek mineral belt was made
Wednesday in Crevice gulch, says the
News OF Gold Crack. New. The ledge
was uncovered by hydraulic sluicing.
Major Robertson and Mr.. Mayham. ac-
companied by ]. S. Loder visited the
scene OF the strike.
Major Roberton, when seen by re-
porter OF the News, said:
The second Sluicing on the bedrock
in Creyice gulch has uncovered a dixie
or vein, With perfectly defined walls.
some ten or twelve feet wide, and yerv
rich in free gold. Mr. Loder examined
ii along with ourselves and pronounces
it {. mine ready to work, and believes
large amount of pay ore can be taken
out in the development.
This is 4 great discovery for tbe
camp, and not only proves the source
of our vast placers. but the exisfenoa
OF mines that will make Gold Creek one
OF the most famous and productive dis
tricts in the country"
The ledge lies between lime and nor
pnyry. 1t has u north and south strike
across Crevice gulch. 1t is directly on
4 line between the Anti-Comstock and
the May D, but 1t is a different con-
tact from either of these.
No analysis OF the ore has vet hear
made, but il pans we'll in free gold. and
gold can also be seen all through the
quartz. The ore has a disintegratins
porphyry appearance, with small lime
crystals or quartz scattered through it. /
II was noticed while sluicing that !
below certain point in Crevice gulcb |
the gravel seemed richer than that +
above 1t was thought at the time that
the rough bedrock had lodged the gold I
there. 1t is now believed that this gold
came from this reef running acrce= tho 1

THE JENNIE STRIKE.
The Wine Breaks Into Large Body
of High Grade Ore.

Bishop l.. G. Hardy, superintendent
of the Jennie, in .Cassia. county, Ida,
the property Of John Beck, of Bullion
Beck fame received a letter yester-
day from the foreman Of the mine
stating that in the upper workings the
bottom of the Wine had broken into
three foot body of ore that carried
average values of sS4 in gold and 175
per cent lead to the ton.
In the winze above mentioned, which
had been sunk to a depth of 80 feet,
considerable Stopping had been done
and quite a number of carloads of
good ore shipped to this city, when it
was decided to attain greater depth
and ascertain what was below, and the
men had gone but six feet deeper when
what appears to be an immense body
of high grade mineral was encoun-
tered, and the ledge is growing larger
with every foot of depth gained.
Mr.. Beck is either in luck or he uses
good Judgment in his mining ventures
probably the latter, and it is be-
lieved that in the Jennie ne has the
making of another dividend payer.
Superintendent Hardy will leave for
the mine at an early day.
