Mining In Tintic.

James NJ. O'Brien has taken con-
tract to sink a shaft on the Raymond.
1t will probably be driven to depth of
600 or 700 feet before stopping.
The recently incorporated Eureka
Swansea Mining company has pur-
chased a new hoist and the shaft will
be continued, probably, to the 1,0OO-foot
| level.
An eastern party has leased and
bonded the Helma, lying north of Ho-
Evansville, and will shove a tunnel The
property is owned by Fred Peterson.
The lease on the Buckeye. mine, near
Diamond, held by j. w. Green, has
been renewed for eighteen months. The
Judge will make mine of the Buck
eye.
Pat Condor was out from Salt Lake
and let a contract for 100 feet of sink
| ing on the North Swansea to Cambell
| d Downey. The Shaft is now down
POS feet
Copper ore of a fair grade is reported
| to have been struck in the shaft on
the Illinois. No one doubts but that
this property viii make a mine, and
we are pleased to see that the workers
have so soon proved it.
James NJ. O'Brien has taken a lease
and bond on the Pick and Cad and the
| Helma mining claims in North Tintic.
The property adjoins the Selma and
East Boy, and with systematic devel-
opment should make a mine.
George PaXman and Thomas Short
| have purchased the Flush, Three
Deuces and Gold Brick claims, near
| Silver City, of Pete Shea. A new in
corporation will now be in order. Our
own opinion is that the value of the
property will justify it,
At a meeting last Saturday of the
| directors of'the New Klondike Mining
| company, work was ordered to be COM
menced at once on the property, to be
in charge of Frank E. Wilson. A small
vein of pay ore shows in the shaft and
! there are several cross veins for which
the company will crosscut.
Work has been commenced in sink
ing the shaft on the Joe Bowers from
the 800 to the 400-foot level. If the de-
| velopment makes as favorable a show
ing as in the past, it is the intention of
the company to sink a vertical and
thoroughly worllmanlile shaft. The
| Joe Bowers is a winner.
| President Hunt of the May Day is
back from Salt Lake and has let an
| other contract of 100 feet of tunneling
TO Jim O'Brien. The miners report that
| a shot at any moment may open up
an immense ore body, and Mr.. OBrien
| feels confident of such being the case.
The May Day never looked better than
it does at present.
Josiah Barnett, Judge Burton and
Mr. Gunter came out from Salt Lake
Tuesday night to visit the Mollie Glib
| son, in which they are heavily inter
ested. All of the gentlemen feel very
much elated at, the present showing of
their property. They speak in highest
terms of Tintic, and predict for it
another Leadville ere long.
L. c. Doty the manager of the Apex
group, reports the property looking
fine, and that preparations are being
made to sink on some good looking
stringers of ore that have recently been
! encountered at a distance of seventy
five feet from the mouth of the tunnel
the force having been increased for
that purpose. Mining men predict it
another Humbug.
The assessment work is being done
on the Goodman, promising claim
lying within a stones throw south and
east of the Humbug. There is a shaft
sunk upon the property to depth OF
$50 feet, but owing to some litigation
the present developments are being
directed elsewhere.
Manager r. D. Sullivan of the Yam
kee and Mountain View Mining com
panies advises us that under present
conditions and the extremely favorable
showing in the two properties, the sale
of any more treasury stock has been
called off. We are pleased to learn that
both companies have ample funds tc
continue the developments in progress
and that the showing is daily improv-
ing. We have no doubts that there will
be at least two more producing mines
in the east end in the near future.
We are advised that in a few days
another promising Tintic company will
be launched. This new one will com
prise the Little Chief, Robert e. Lee
and Green Rock claims, belonging tC
T. D. Sullivan, James p. Driscoll, John
II. Driscol and John Moore. Mr. Sulll-
van who is the chief owner, advises us
that several prominent outside mining
men viii be in on the proposition. This
property lies north and east of the
Eagle and Blue Bell, and a considerable
portion is on the Eureka townsite. A
shaft $50 feet deep has been sunk or
the Little Chief and an excellent show
ing has been made. The location of the
property is of the best, and if active
work is resumed we look for speedy
and good returns.
