INTERESTED IN T|NT|C
Butte Men to Develop Utah Min
ing Properties.
AN IMPORTANT MEETING
Messrs. Farrell, Grant, Robinson and
Gillis Determined to Push the Oper-
atoms With Vigor-The Out
look Is Promising.

The following from the Salt Lake
Herald will interest Butte people as
all the parties are very we'll known
here, Mr. Farrell having formerly been
president of the Parrot company, Mr..
Grant the general manager and Mr..
Gillis superintendent Of the company
mines. Mr. Robinson has long been
identified with mining in Montana:
"A conference was held in the Knuts-
ford hotel yesterday between Franklin
Farrell, the multi-millonaire of An
sonia, Conn, Robert D. Grant, d. G.
ellis and George H. Robinson.
Mr.. Farrell is one of the heaviest
stockholders In the Sioux Consolidated
Utah Consolidated and Mammoth No. 2,
all Of Tintic, and his visit here at this
time is to take steps towards the re-
sumption of operations at those valu-
able properties on a large scale. The
Farrell mill Is also owned by the same
syndicate which owns the mines men
toned. All these properties have been
under the management of Mr.. Robinson
for several years, but nothing has been
done with them for some time.
THE meeting yesterday was held for
the purpose of mapping out plan for
the future, and from Mr.. Grant it was
learned that after certain preliminary
work is done the properties will be
worked on basis equal to any other
Tintic property. Mr. Grant could not
state positively last evening what
course would be pursued in the future,
further than that the mines are to be
worked, and on such a scale that a
force of 200 men will likely find en-
ployment there.
Mr.. Farrell and myself will go up to
Tintic to-day" said Mr.. Grant, ito
look over the ground, and when we re-
turn we will be in shape to talk about
what we are going to do.
Mr. Robinson is closely identified
with the Montana Ore Purchasing COM
pany of Butte. His duties there .eep
him pretty busily engaged, and now
that active developments are to be
started on the Tintic properties, he finds
he cannot give them the attention they
should have. He has decided to re-
linqush the management and is it I'M
derstood Mr. Grant will assume those
duties, while Mr.. ellis will become
superintendent and will be stationed
at the mine.
MIR. Grant, who is now a resident OF
Waterbury, Conn, IS to become resi-
dent of Salt Lake and move his family
here at an early date. The company
will most likely open permanent head
quarters in this city, where all the con-
Germs banking will be done.
1.-THE controlling interest in the three
Tintic corporations is now vested in
Messrs. Farrell. Grant and Gillis. They
propose to put in their own capital and
place the properties on substantial
basis. Hs ID
TT was Inferred from what Mr.. Grant
had to say, that when the mines are
started up the output from them will
considerably exceed the capacity of the
big Farrell mill. Some other provision
will necessarily have to be made to
handle the ore, but what it will be will
| not be known until after the trip to
Tintic with Mr. Farrell The properties
were recently thoroughly sampled by
Messrs. Grant and Gillis, who spent
several weeks doing that work. The
resumption of operations is the result
of their investigations and will add
| materially to the prosperity Of Tintic.'
