tic Mine Near Silver Citv.

tic Mine Near Silver City.
The success which has attended the
working of properties in the Silver
City end OF Tintic district has at
tracted many mining men and capital
lists to that section, the result being
that quite a number of strong COM
panies have been organized of late for
the purpose of engaging in various
mining enterprises in that locality, the
latest applicant for public favor in
this line being the Mollie Gibson Min
ing company, whose articles of incor-
poration were being prepared in this
city yesterday. the formation of the
company being based on the Mollie
Gibson group. Of claims, comprising the
AIollie Gibson, the Mollie Gibson Nos.
]. and 8 lodes and the Little Nav,
the property being located on the
Treasure Hill ledge and between this
mine and the Alaska, the admirable
situation of the group almost insuring
the success of the enterprise.
The officers and directors of the new
company have been named as follows:
r. c.. Wilson, president; w. H. Ryan,
vice president; A. I. Jacobs, secretary
and treasurer; Theodore Myer and
Josiah Barnett, the capitalization of
the organization being placed at 200,-
900 shares Of a par value of 2 cents
each.
A shaft has been sunk to a depth
of forty feet in the development of
the property so far, it being the in
tention of the new company to sink it
100 feet deeper when a cross-cut will
be run to intercept the ledge, the ex-
istence of which has already been
demonstrated and established by ex-
tensive workings in adjoining proper
ties.
The outlook for the NIollie Gibson is
most fattering and it is believed that
in due time it viii fall into line as an
other wealth producer for Tintic dis
