the Camp.

w nat Is Yong On In the mines OF
the Camp.
In its weekly mining review the Tin
tic Miner says:
Hyrum Beck. secretary of the Buck
eye Mining company, and who is also in
terested in the leasing of the Northern
Spy, came down last Friday evening
and remained until Tuesday looking
after some of his Tintic interests. Mr..
Beck states that the projected sale of
the Spy to Jesse Knight has not been
contaminated, owing to the company
and Mr.. Knight being unable TO agree
on a price. Three parties of leasers are
at work on the ground and much good
ore is being extracted. Mr.. Beck also
states that no arrangements have yet
been made for working the Buckeye
owing to the difficulty of handling the
water, but expresses the opinion that
something will shortly be done
]. w. Green announces an S-foot ore
vein in the bottom of the Pacific shaft
at a depth of 60 feet, with a 6-inch pay
streak showing values of 139 ounces in
silver, S14 gold and 80 per cent lead.
The new Whim has arrived and the
within house, 21X36 feet, is now being
erected. AS soon as completed sinking
will be resumed. Judge Green states
that with 20 feet more depth he ex-
poets to cut a copper streak which
shows on the surface and assays 70
ounces silver, Is per cent lead, over 20
per cent copper and IS gold. The Pa
cific from present indications promises
10 become one of the bOnanZas Of the
south end, and from its position just
below the Homestake and on the same
vein as the Julia Lane its indications
should become a verify.
John L. Hunter, the superintendent
of the Hot Stuff in North Tintic, was
in nd RTnn6o~r r1e
TO sever his business relations in the
district. Mr.. Hunter has accepted a
position as foreman of the Bonanza
mine at Clayton, Ore, and within the
next 80 days viii leave for the scene of
his duties. He will be succeeded at
the Hot Stuff by Martin X. Hardness.
who Will hereafter guide the deStinieS
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hot Stuff and their
progeny. Jack" Hunter has been iden-
titled with the interests of this sec

friends will learn of his intended de-
partUTe with sincere regret. His sue
cessor is too well known in Tintic to
need an introduction. He will find the
mine in excellent condition, and the
near future will probably witness a
shipment OF ore from the property.
