Frank Harris receiver of the United
States land office. was out looking at
the Homestake last Monday. The con-
dition of the mine is reported to be
first-class and it is announced that the
Homestake will now be regularly on the
shipping list. The machinery for the
new steam hoist was shipped from Salt
Lake Wednesday, and the work of
erection will be commenced at once.
The shaft on the Picnic has reached
the 375-foot level, and drifting along
the vein in both directions was COM
menced this week. Both drifts are re-
ported to be in ore, and that in the
north drift is believed to be pay, al
though we have been unable as yet to
learn the returns. A steam hoist for
the property is now in contemplation,
and will probably be a reality in the
next month or two.
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows: From the Bullion
Beck mine 80 carloads ore. from the
Bullion-Beck mill 10 carloads concen-
trates, from the Centennial Eureka Is
carloads ore, from the Carisa one car
load ore, from the Mammoth mill two
carloads concentrates. from the Ajax
four carloads ore. from the South
Swansea ten carloads ore, from the
Homestake one carload ore, from the
Eureka Hill mill five carloads concen-
trates, from the Hamburg one carload
ore.
We are reliably informed that the
change in the management of the
Eureka Hill will make no change in To-
cal arrangements, at least for the pres
ent Mr.. Hilton, the new general
manager, has practically been in !
charge for some months past, and we
understand that his selection for the /
position was the desire and at the re- |
quest Of Mr.. Packard. The latter will !
continue in personal charge of the
Gemini and Godiva properties. in both
of which he holds the control and which

formed that Mr.. George Ritter, who has
been for a year past acting as local
secretary, will succeed Mr.. Hilton as
secretary of the Eureka Hill company. .
The news that the Sunbeam Mining
had decided to allow their
bond on the Juab Lawrence ground to
lapse came as a great surprise to the |
people of Tintic. who are acquainted /
with the property, its record and pres !
ent possibilities. This portion of the
ground is regarded by many old-timers |
as the most valuable on the Sunbeam (
lode and the failure to take up the
bond easily accounts for the slump in
the stock. 1t is generally believed
that the action of the company is ac-
for by differences existing be-
tween the management and a portion
of the directors. 1t is announced,
however. and we regard it as probable.
that the company viii take up its OPP
tions on all of the property. We trust
such will be the case. The Sunbeam
has some of the most valu-
able property in Tintic and with proper
handling should be one of the most
