TINTIC MINING DISTRICT,
UTAH,


The Tintic Mining District lies eighty
Ave miles south of Salt Lake City on the
Rio Grande Western Railway, and is, as
shown by the records Of 1886 and so 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 OUO 600 in dividends and the later
of over 5000 OOO.,
Until within the last two or three
years no adequate means of reduction
of Tintic ores was in operation in the
district and the 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
eau work at profit those immense de-
posits of low grade ores which fill 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 a 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 fonr thriving TOWNSHIP

with a population of $500; Mammoth.
population l.OO0; Robinson and Silver
City, 500 each. all of which offer great
inducements for Investments in a busi-
ness way.
At the base Of the foothills only a few
miles away, is a valley of 5000 acres of
fruit and garden lands. watered by the
Mt. Nebo Land and Irrigation com
pany.
AS to the future of Tintic, it is no ex-
ageration to saw that it possesses the
brightest prospects of anv mining dis
trict in Utah. and offers to the prosp-c-
tive investor opportunities which can
not he exceled.
The Rio Grauds Western Railway has
double daily train service between
Salt Lake City and the Tintic Mining
District. For further particulars apply

Agent, Salt Lake City.
