Mammoth, May 1.-THE Scranton
Pa.) people, owners of the once-famous
New Tintic mines, have resolved to
open the properties and commence
work again on large scale, and by
June 1 a working force will be EN-
ployed and the plant will be in opera
ton. The New Tintic was heavy pro-
Queer in the palmy days of good prices
for silver and lead, especially the latter.
The ground was located in the summer
of 1879 by Joseph Biddlecom, and in 1880
commenced to ship pay ores in consid-
cradle quantities. continuing without
cessation until the great decline in
prices of both metals.
The ore is of that desirable grade
eagerly sought by the smelters, the set
Element sheets showing the percentage
of lead invariably running above the Is
mark. The old workings consist of four
tunnels, 300 feet and more, with cross
cuts in every direction, and a 300-foot
famous stope yielded $50 carloads of
mineral before the mammoth ore body
was exhausted, and in another great
stope, called the Del Monte" six men
in six weeks extracted J, 400 tons of ore
that averaged $40 per ton. The owners
of the New Tintic, believing in the
present and prospective prices of lead
and silver. feel warranted in opening
the property and renewing search for
great ore chutes that undoubtedly exist
at greater depths than have as yet been
explored

LOST JOSEPHINE MINE.
Operations to Be Resumed By the
Owners.

Notwithstanding all the diSparag ing
talk regarding the Lost Josephine mine
and surrounding prospects in the dis
trict back of KamaS, Summit county,
such well informed men as Captain
Timothy Eagan and Charles +. Hudson
have no doubt in the world that SPLEEN
did gold producing district is about TO
be opened up there.
I'll admit" said Mr.. Hudson, who
has just returned from an inspection of
the Josephine with Captain Eagan,
that it is a peculiar proposition, but
that the property contains gold, and
that the mine has not been sailed,
there is no question at all. Neither is
there any question but that, at some
time or another in the long ago, the
ground was worked for the mineral it
contained. Everything about it goes to
show that the Josephine is an old mine.
Skeptical people ought to see and ex-
anime it. and they, too, would be con-
WINGED that what L say is true
Last year Mr.. Hudson and his asso-
ciateS did considerable work at the Jo-
sephine, and only ceased at the end of
the year, when the snow became too
deep to take up supplies. They are go
ing to resume operations again in a few
weeks and explore the regions below the
present depth attained in the old mine
For ninety feet from the bottom of the
incline which runs into the mountain
vertical shaft goes down and opens
into a large cavern or chamber, and
from this another shaft or incline goes
still deeper, how much, Mr.. Hudson
says, they do not know, as it is not
sufficiently open to admit of the de-
scent of a man, but stone started
down can be heard to rattle against
distractions for a long way.
AT Mr.. Hudson's office whole bun
die of assay certificates are on file, and
they represent tests made on the rock
from ali parts of the present workings.
They range all the way from $2.4S to
1872 in gold, and none of the rock, Mr.
Hudson said, showed free gold. The
whole proposition is in lime, and that
is the peculiar feature of it. but the
owners care nothing for that, as long as
it contains the values.
Mr.. Hudson says William Bird owns
some claims adjoining the Josephine on
the west, and his ground contains free
gold, as does some other prospects in
the same vicinity, and everything points
to the opening up of a rich district

Hudson and Eagan, on which returns

NO STRIKE IN THE EMERALD.
Manager oglesby Nails False Ru-
NOR That Has Been Circulated.
Especial Correspondence.)

Especial Correspondence
Mammoth, May 17.-There is abso-
lutely no truth in the reported strike of
ore in the Emerald mine, nor any
foundation whatever for the rumor.
Had there been any. it would have been
verified yesterday in The Herald from
this point. Your correspondent visited
the Emerald this morning, and learned
direct from Manager Oglesby that there
is not a vestige of truth in the story,
which seems to have been so freely
circulated yesterday in Salt Lake. In
fact said Mr.. Oglesby, Il knew moth
ing about the rumor until l got letter
from the city lest evening, informing
me of the report and consequent furry
in the stock. But there is no truth in 1t
at all. We are working with very graf
flying results, and l am sure, for the
first time, on the ledge matter, showing
solidity of formation, without displace-
ment and DETECTION, but there has been
no find of ore, excepting in very small
and Improbable quantities.
Il wish the statement was true. l
wouldn't be reticent about 1t, but you
can rest assured the stockholders
wouldn't be the first ones to learn of it.
l think the situation is deplorable, when
handful of mining stock brokers,
many of whom have no knowledge at
all of the industry. can make and I'M
make the values of stocks of mining
company, even temporarily. In the case
of the Emeral the stock is worth
neither more or less than it was some
day last week, yet it has been jock
eyed up and down the line. No, sir,
there is no ore strike in the Emerald.
We have tremendous vein, in some
places 200 feet wide. in others 400 and
1T isn't an easy matter to prospect it
hurriedly, but, in my opinion. the ledge
showing is better than it has been at
any time since my connection with the

a gentleman down from the Park

word a few days ago that as soon as
experts who We're now engaged in some
of the other camps finished examina-

visit to the Park City property would
be made and on their report propo-
sition for the purchase of the ground
would very likely be made.
From the same source it was learned
that overtures are being made the own
ers of the Copper King property for the
purchase of their holdings. The latter
ground is situated in Big Cottonwood,

ore. The snow is several feet deep in
Cottonwood yet and a surface exami-
