Tintic Miner Notes.

Work has started on the Johannes
burg under contract The whim house
is nearly finished and the gaIlows frame
is being erected.
One man has been put to work at the
] Alaska cleaning up and it is reported
| that active work on the property will
commence in few days.
! w. Nj. Nesbit, the well known mine
superintendent, who recently made ar
examination of the Martha Washing
/ ton, advises us that there is no doubt
but that property is q big mine. He
states that on the 300 level there is a
3-foot vein, all good pay ore, which
gives the best assurances of d contin-
ued output. Mr.. Nesbit also says that
the inclined shaft in the mine is the
best he ever saw. and highly compli-
ments Manager William Hatfield on
the manner in which the development
has been done.
We are reliably informed that ar
engagements have been made for the
prospecting of the Phoenix claim
through Ajax workings. The Phoenix
is the property of the Hercules Mining
company and is believed by many to
contain the parent vein which traverses
the Champlain claim, a part of the
Ajax. The prospecting VIII be made
from the 400 level of the Ajax and but
a short distance should be nec- ssa y
TO thoroughly prove the ground. The
recent assessment of IL cents per
share. $500, which is due March .,
should be enough to show whether or
not the Phoenix is a mine.
The Tennessee Rebel and the Opex
companies have arranged with the
Sioux mill for air, and will jointly put
in machine drills to facilitate the
development of those properties. For
some time the work on the Rebel has
been done through the OpeX. Unless
the generally accepted theory of min
ing men concerning the continuity of
the western ore zone is entirely at fault,
both the Rebel and Opex are coming
mines.
in the Lower Mammoth have greatly
encouraged the management. II is re-
ported that a strike of lead carbonates
in the shaft has widened into three
feet of ore that shows a, value of %
per cent lead, 80 ounces silver and
about 81 in Wall street currency.
Harry Joseph has been on the ground
for several days, and is preparing TO
take out couple of carloads of milling
ore, which will probably go to the
Sioux mill.
Don Mcguire left last Friday, after
a two weeks success sful mission. in the
district. collecting specimens from the
many Tintic bonanZaS. Mr. Mcguire
was treated with uniform courtesy by
the managers of the rich producers,
and left with collection that should
arouse a feeling of avarice in the heart
Of a stone image. He is enthusiastic
in his praise of Tintic, which he con-
siders the banner camp OF the west. I
He expresses surprise at the apathy of |
local capitalists. and declared that the !
progress of the district under the adj /
verse conditions of the past four years |
IS wonderful.
