Tintic district. so noted for its long
list of splendid wealth-producers, will
most likely add another bonanza to the
list in the near future in the Eagle and
Blue Bell mine, which is located in the
very heart of the mineral zone which
has given life to such mines as the
Bullion-Beck, the Eureka Hill, the Cen
tennial-Eurela, the Godiva, Uncle sam
and Humhug, and the Grand Central
This property has been the topic of
general conversation in mining circles
during the past month or SIX weeks,
and the prevailing opinion is that 1t VIII
not be long now before 1t Will be a
heavy and regular producer as We'll as
a steady dividend payer.
c. II. Blanchard, the eX-recorder OF
Tintic district, who has just returned
from an inspection of this property,
also holds this belief, and he is enthu-
siastic over the most encouraging show
ing in this prospective Wealth-pro-
ducer, which. he states, has large
bodies Of good ore exposed IN its va
TiOus workings, some Of which IS very
rich, to prove which he exhibited TO
Herald reporter a piece Of quartz taken
from the mine which was studded all
over with particles Of the yellow metal
in its native state, and he made the
announcement that on the dump the
company mad lot Of five tons of this
ore ready for the market While in the
bodies Of ore blocked out in the mine
there were several good-Slzed pay
Chutes Of this class of quartz, which
will be broken down and marketed as
soon as the property is cleaned out,
preparatory to active and continuous
work, the company now having force
of eighteen or twenty men employed IN
doing this work, it being the eXpecta-
ton that by the LIST of the month
the property viii be in shape so that
regular consignnents can begin.
The new air compressor for the mine
is now on the ground and is being in
stalled as rapidly as possible, while the
property is web equipped for extensive
and heavy operations in the future.
The Eagle and Blue Bell is a property
of more than usual promise, as the To-
cation is admirable, and the incorpora-
ton of the company is based on a
group of eleven claims, within the en-
vironments of which there is no doubt
as to the existence of magnificent
bodies of high-grade ore.
During his Tintic visit, Mr.. Blanchard
also went over to the Grand Central,
wherr, he states, the excavations for
the new steam hoist are being made,
the gallows frame Of which will be of
steel the welI-known builder of Park
City, Mr.. Loring, having charge of the
work of construction. The mine, as is
well known, is all right, and there is
seemingly no end to the great bodies
of high-grade ere already blocked out
in its workings.
From all reports, according to Mr.
Blanchard, the Lower Mammoth is
looking fine, while between Mammoth
and Silver City, on the group owned
by the Hope Mining company. of which
Judge A. =. Sawyer of this city is
general manager, the new friction
steam hoist is nearly ready to make
its initial run.
AS to Silver City, the home for many
years Of Mr.. Blanchard, this gentleman
states that it is putting on new life
and that mining affairs in that end OF
the district are almost at fever heat
