TINTIc MINER NOTES.
Local Conditions Improving in This
Great Camp.


Great Camp.
Judge c. W. Bennett and Martin K.
Hardness came down Saturday even
ing and spent Sunday inspecting the
Hot Stuff property in North Tintic in
company with Secretary Robertson
We are advised by Captain Ryan of
the West Cable that all stockholders
have paid uD the recent assessment,
which speaks we'll for their confidence
in the property and its management.
The development is progressing as
usual.
The development of the Morning
Glory is being pushed along the 265
foot level and considerable high grade
ore is being taken out. The leasers
will not, however, sink the shaft any
deepr at, least for the present, as it is
believed TO be impracticable on account
of water.
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows: From the Bullion
Beck 20 carloads ore, from the Centen-
nial-Eureka carloads ore, from the
Gemmi 10 carloads ore, from the Uncle
Sam carloads ore, from the Ajax 3
carloads ore, from the Carisa L carload
ore, from the Sioux Mil l carload con-
centrates, from the Swansea 3 carloads
ore. from the South Swansea 8 carloads
ore, from the North Star carloads ore,
from the Governor l carload ore.
Local conditions this week show a
great Improvement with all indications
pointing to a speedy recovery from the
recent depression The Improvement
is noticeable both at Eureka and Mann
moth and directly in line with our pre-
diction of two weeks ago. In Eureka
the greatest change during the past
week is the commencement of ore ship
ments from the Gemini, five carloads
having been sent out Monday and five
Wednesday. For time al least the
shipments will probably amount 10
five carloads every other day The ore
goes to the Pennsylvania smelter
Sandy and there is already on hand in
the ore houses at the mine over LOO
tons ready for shipment. II is among
the probabilities that the night snit
at the Gemini will soon be put to work.
At the Beck the force has been slightly
increased during the past week anu
the ore being sent out is reported to
be some of the highest grade ever
found in that great mine. The forces
at the other mines on this side are con-
tinuued as usual.
What seems TO be authentic reports
are to the effct that the Mammoth
mill will start up again before July LIST.
The work row in progress on the New
East Tintic railway certainly gives
color TO the report. The Sioux mill,
which has been shut down for the past
two weeks on account of a breakdown
of the engine, will also start up again
in a day or two. A well defined ruino.
has it that the Sioux and Utah COM
panies will shortly take hold of their
which are now leased, and
that a largely increased force viii be
employed. The starting UP of the Nam
moth mill will also mean great in
crease in the number of mine en-
ployees in the Mammoth mine.
Matters continue the same as usual |
at Silver City, with a prospect for q |
improvement in the re- !
sumption of work a. the Homestake |
and Sunbeam mines which will take |
place in a very few days.
Unless the bottom drops entirely out |
of the metal market. we see no reason /
to doubt but that the present will be q |
summer for Tintic district. |
