WEST TINTIC EXCITEMENT.
Reliable Information About Camp Is
Still Hard to Obtain.
(Special Correspondence. J


Silver City, June 2i-Not much ap-
parently reliable information is as yet
obtainable regarding the West Tintic
boom, that took on such big proper
lions for about twenty-four hours.
Some of the excited prospectors, in their
hurry TO anticipate others in search of
wealth, got on the wrong trail and ulti-
mately had to return empty-handed,
without even catching a glimpse of the
alleged bonanza land. Some interest is
expressed in the reports which. will
likely follow the return of men who are
known to have made locations and per-
formed work. They are expected home
this evening. The writer met a Mr.. Hill,
who is interested with Mr.. Turner in
the West Tintic country. Giving his
personal views. Mr.. Hi said: Il do not
think it is a gold country, at least so
far as anything / have seen. 1t has the
appearance of being a big silver-lead
and so far as can be deter
mined, of low grade. / am interested
in property called the Creole. an old
claim. but newly relocated. Here is
lot of stuff / took from the hole. but
do not know what it runs yet" The
ore shown was a coarse-grained galena,
some in the form of cube lead in de-
quartz. Local Assayer Ger
Der has several runs in the fire.

of wealth in dividends in the past
amounting to over $13,OOO,O0O, shipped
over 800 tons of product during the
week.
The great Tintic producers have come
forward with great shipments of ore.
and the old producers, such as the
Mammoth, Centennial Eureka, Bull
lion-Beck and Grand Central, have sent
in in all probability several train loads,
TO say nothing of the Star Consolidated,
the Swanseas and others.
Daisy and Mercur reported with rich
shipments of cyanides, while the Dex-

lot of valuable products. The Horn

to thirty-one tons, which brought a
net profit to the company of about $780,
Periodical shippers sent in several car
loads of ore during the week.

SALE OF THE oPHIR.
Michigan Capitalists Secure Control
of Stateline Property.

The Michigan crowd at the head of
the great Calumet & Hecla mine have
recognized the Importance of Utah as
field for mining enterprises. They
have made recent acquisitions in Bling
ham, and it is supposed that the lat
est move to gather in other Utah bo-
nanZaS was executed yesterday, when
a deal was contaminated for the pur-
chase of a one-half interest in the Ophir
mine, in the Stateline district, between
a representative of the Michiganders
and the parties here who own consid-
erably more than a control of the stock
One of the officers who was seen re-
fused to state what price they are to
receive for the interests relinquished
by them.
The Ophir was formerly owned by
Ben Springer, who expended large

of part of his interests to r. J.

Squatters Must Settle.

Robinson. June 24-C. Z. Monroe,
representing W. ]. Mcintyre and Mrs.
Sarah Hepworth, has been here for The
past four days engaged in the unenvi-
able task of removing sQuatters from
the company's premises. The job IS a
trying and thankless one, involving so
many explanations, and listening to
real and imaginary woes of he poor
folks who jump at the conclusion that
they are to be summarily elected and
their surface improvements and hold
ingS Confiscated. Coming, as this has,
on the heels of the Mammoth deal,
many uniformed residents attach
some significance to the transaction,
which, in point of fact. has only been
delayed because of the manifest con-
ditiori of the title. The squatters who
desire to purchase or occupy the COM
pany's grounds will be given liberal
terms and long time payments. Messrs.
Mcintyre and Monroe are engaged in
placing valuations on the respective
lots.

Mining company, composed of Ezra
Thompson, W. a. Wilson. Joseph Nor

erations on the Robinson mine, in

when litigation over the ownership of
the mine was commenced and which
was only recently settled.
Mr.. Thompson says the mine contains
a world of IS or $40 free-milling gold ore
and the company expects to make good
money right from the start.
On Monday Mr.. Morris will leave with
a party of Park City miners for the

a force will be sent up to get the mill
in operation. A proposition has been
made to a well-known Park City mill

and if a favorable reply comes from
him the mill will be ready to run by
the time Mr.. Morris has the mine in
shape to supply it with ore.

Especial Observation-Disclosures

Silver City, June 24.-It is manifest
that the condition of the Four Aces
continues to improve under the close
watch and vigorous searching methods
of F. G.. Cole. The increase in ore cut
and hoisted, while nothing stupendous,
is noticeable and has an appreciab Die
bearing in meeting expenses. The
writer spent some time at the mine in
company with Mr.. Cole today. and, cb-
serving a seemingly unusual lot of ore
coming up, remarked the fact to the

YELLOW PINE DEAL.
Utah Men to Turn It Over to a Bos-

that the Yellow Pine mine at Boulder,
Colo. reported to have been tied up by
MeSsrs. Keith and kearns, is to pass
into the hands of a Boston syndicate
between now and Aug. l for $3.50. 000
Governor Wells, G. f. Loose and Lester
Taylor of Moab are the parties who Sc
cured the property on a short option
by making an initial payment of $1,000.
The only evidence that Messrs. Keith
and Kearns are in any way interested
in the enterprise is the fact that P
Kinney, who has been managing
property for the gentlemen in Tuol-
umne county, California, has gone to
Boulder to take charge of the Yellow
Pine. The bonding and transfer of this
splendid property is said to be one of
the quickest turns ever made in a deal
of the same magnitude.

Reports That All Is Quiet In Colo
RADIO Smelling Circles.

T. r.. Jones. local manager OF the
American Smelling * Refining compa-
ny, returned yesterday from a week $
trip to Denver. where in is understood
the gentleman has been attending a
general consultation meeting OF all the
company'S managers.
He said there was nothing new to re-
port regarding the smelling situation;
the strike was still on in Colorado, but
it was devoid of sensation or excite
ment on either side.
Asked if he contemplated putting
another plant in operation in Utah. he
facetiously remarked that he might
start the bennington Smelter. as that
was the only thing he had in reserve.
When asked If he thought the men,
bers of the Western Federation of
Mines and Western Labor Union would
erect an independent plant, as Denver
dispatches had indicated they might
do. Mr.. Jones simply smiled and dis
missed the subject without comment.
The gentleman thinks the problem will
be satisfactorily solved in the very
near future.

several g mining propositions in which
he is interested, arrived home yesterday

ton, Mr.. Treweek says there never was
as much interest taken in the industry
by eastern people as at the present
time, and heavy investments in Utah
and other favored sections are bound
to result.
