started up work in the exploration of the
Gold Gable and Farm groups, two prom
Using properties on the West Dip.
One of the Fitzpatrick brothers of Beat

F. E. Wilson, vice president of the Joe

turned from a visit TO this I1nt1c prop
erty, is much pleased with the recent dis
closures in the workings of this pros
pecdve bonanza.
Hon. Theodore Bruback, who has re-
turned from visit to Tintic mines, states
that While there he made an inspection of
the workings of the Yankee Consolidated,
the tunnel of which is now showing up a
nice body of healthy-looking quartz.
Encouraging news continues TO come in
from the Daisy, on the West Dip of Camp
Floyd, and 1t is learned that the faces of
the drifts on the south levels are in mag
nificent bodies of oXidized ore which
carry values of from SIS to SIS in gold TO
Lne ten, Wn1le assays OF go are frequently
obtained. The capacity of the mill at the
mine is being increased so that ere long
the company will be treating 100 tons of
ore daily.
William Curtis. the efficient superin-
tendent of the Massachusetts, at Park
City will leave for the mine this morn
ms, after spending a day or so with his
Zion friends and acquaintance. Mr.. Cur
tbs shighly elated over the showing in
the Massachusetts and is sanguine that
in time it will take rank as one of the big
producers of the Park, SO noted for its
magnificent mines and dividend-payers.
Three shifts are employed in the develop
ment of this property, and the present
showing is most gratifying and -encour-
aging.
Charles Pointer, one of the early pio-
neers of Tintic district. and who was a
resident of Diamond when that place was
a busy mining mart and able to boast of
one or two smelters, was in the city yes
terday. Mr.. Pointer was mining in Tintic
as early as the year 1871 and during his
time there made barrels of money and
even now he has valuable properties in
and around Diamond. which camp, from
present indications, with the Bowers fam
lily of mines. the Showers Consolidated
and the Buckeye, gives promise in the
very near future of riValing the most
palmy days of this old historic camp.
Hudson Smith of the Brooklyn Eureka
was in from Eureka yesterday Mr.
side of Eureka gulch, and he states that
| in its development he has uncovered a
fine body of excellent quartz, which is
well nineraliZed and which gives promise
of developing into something big as work
in it's exploration progresses. The proper
ty is now equipped with comfortable win
ter quarters, and, as the trend of mining
interest is now extending out that way,
something good from this ground may be
looked for before summer comes again. -
