be the bone of contention which is
likely to take the contending parties
into court.
According to the initial shipment of
Syanides from the Overland, for which
settlement has just been received by
the company, the output of the mine
could easily foot uptto $4,000 monthly
with motive power sufficient to keep
The Godiva mine near Eureka has
been shipping quite heavily of late, the

$50 tons. 1t is learned that the ore

snow, and that it is looking well, with
indications that it will make a good

over the destinies of the Tintic Miner
and Silver City Star, is in the city with
the intention of going out with the Tin

Spilman states that it is his intention

from this Tintic property, which, it is
stated, is in a most hattering condi-
ton.
