At a meeting of the board of direct
ors of the West Gable Mining company,
held in Salt Lake Tuesday, an assess
ment of u cent per share was levied on

cution of the development now in prog
ress. Two shifts are at work on the

D. c. Harrington is still continuing
the development of the Admiral Far
ragut group in North Tintic, and indi-
cations are extremely favorable for ore.
Mr.. Harrington has done a great deal
of work on the property, and saws he
proposes to keep it up until he makes
a mine of it.
A lease and bond will be given this
week on the Black Jack and Trial
mines, belonging 10 l.. E. Ritter, and
development will be commenced at
once. The property already has a 700
foot tunnel. known as the Groesbeck
tunnel and the leasers will continue
the development through that tunnel.
A large amount of native silver is
coming out of the Wine from the 1000
foot level of the Beck. The winze is now
down over 80 feet below the 1.000-foot
level, and there is no sign of the end of
the ore body. Stopping is in progress in
the 1,0O0-foot level and all indications
are that this ore body will excel all
previous deposits found in the great
Bullion Beck
The Sioux-Ajax tunnel people are
preparing to put in an air compressor
at the Sioux mill and viii hereafter
furnish their own power to the drills
in the tunnel. This move is rendered
advisable on account of shortage of the.
power furnished by the Mammoth COM
pany and the heavy expense. The pipe
line is nearly completed from the mill
to the tunnel and the compressor is
expected TO arrive not later than
May 10.
The lessees of the Cleveland mine at
Mammoth commenced work on the
property Saturday. The work is being
done through the Sioux-Ajax tunnel |
and it is proposed to thoroughly pros |
pect the vein. The Cleveland is !
with most excellent indica-
tons for ore, and we believe with |
proper development will make a valu-
able mine. It's position with respect /
to ether producers is all that could be /
desired.
