TINTIc MINER NOTES.
Large Shipment of Eureka-Hill Con-
centrates

A shipment of 20 cars of concentrates
is being loaded at the Eureka-Hill mill
and will go out in dav or two
The Eagle is reported to be taking
out gold ore averaging $130 in The
yellow stuff A shipment of one car
load is promised about July 5.
/ A large shipment of tailings from
/ the Sioux mill is being loaded at
Mammoth station. The tailings are
reported to run exceedingly well.
The Alaska shaft is down over $50
+ feet and is being sunk with two shifts.
The shaft is going down in the vein
but as yet no pay ore has been encoln-
tered.
Last Sunday Frank Rankin was
awarded a contract for sinking 100
feet in the Homestake shaft. We
understand the work was commenced
yesterday.
A 35-horse power engine is being
set W. on the 900 level of the Bullion
Beck at the winze north of the main
shaft. AS soon as in position the
large ore body below the 900 level will
be greatly accelerated.
A very favorable change is reported
this week in the bottom of the Finer
aid shaft at a depth of $40 feet, a body
of highly mineralized quartz having
been encountered. The company are
daily looking TO encounter ore.
\. n. Brown is continuing the de-
velopment of the Bertha mine in
West Tintic and is taking out some
first-class shipping ore. Recent assays
are said to show values of 200 ounces
in silver. The Bertha will soon be-
come a shipper.
Captain J. A Bard and others Rave
taken a contract to sink $50 feet in the
Valley View claim lying between Sill
yer City and Diamond and nave COM
menced work on the properly. We
understand the Valley View makes an
excellent showing.
In regard to the generally circulated
report that the directors of The Ajax
contemplate shutting down that prop
erty the fore part of this month, Henry
NJ. Ryan, managing director, assures
us that the report is an error and that
operations will be continued as usual.
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows: From the Bull /
lion-Beck % car loads ore, from the /
Centennial-Eureka car loads ore, /
from the Gemini Is car loads ore. from I
the Uncle Sam car loads ore, from /
the Ajax car loads ore, from the .
Mammoth car loads ore. from the .
Swansea car loads ore, from the I
South Swansea Z car loads ore, from .
the North Star car loads ore, from
the Governor l car load ore.
The development work on the Martha
w aShlngton is progressing very salts
factorily and we expect to soon be able
to place it on our shipping list. AS to
the report of the discovery of ore in
the mine running four ounces gold, the
report is a mistake as no such find has
been made. We take this opportunity
IF correcting the report, as we believe
hat untrue and exaggerated reports
10 more injury than they possibly
,ould do good.
Several months ago we stated that
he BullionBeck company was con-
emplating the alteration of their
plant into a combina-
ion mill, and at the time of the shut
Town it was freely predicted that the
hange would take place almost i'm
nediately. 1t is now definitely stated
hat the directors of the Beck have de-
ided to add the necessary pans and I
ettlers and make their plant CORE
pond as nearly as possible with the
-reat combination mill of the Eureka
Hill company. If this is done, there
5 scarcely a question but that the ]
Seek mill can be placed at once on a 5
aging basis. The mine has practically I
Unlimited quantities of second class ore
'hich can be worked at a profit by the
process. There ought to
e many dividends for Bullion Beck {
in these second class ores. I
