the discovery of mineral in a number of
mining properties, with such good luck
and accuracy as to warrant the as
sumption or the privilege of limiting at
further possibilities in the great Tintic
region. Along in the latter part of
April. when very little attention was
being directed towards development,
other than local observation. The Her
aid particularly noted the strong like
lihood of great results following the in
telliSent. determined and persistent
! work being done in the properties of
Eagle Blue Bell. May Day and La
Refine. and later the Rabbits Foot, Luz
zerne and Tesora. Three of the list are
already shippers of marketable ore and
the balance have disclosed mineral in
paying quality and quantities. 1t is a
source of congratulation To realize that
all of the prophecies advanced by The
Herald have so far been fulfilled-a
state of affairs not brought about by
any extraordinary astuteness. but sim
ply acquired by personal and regular
visits to the various premises. Fur
| thermore, soon after April /. when it
was made known that the quarterly
shipments from Tintic averaged
nearly 100 carloads of ore each week,
The Herald foreshadowed that before
the summer had past the amount
would be nearly. if not quite, doubled.
Last week the record was as follows:
Cars of ore, III: cars of concentrates.
10; bars of bullion, 4. Before Nov. 1
the grand total will easily be Swelled to
900 cars per week, if not more. and the
writer confidently believes the figure to
be below the mark. Why? Because
the big shippers, such as the Mammoth
Grand Central. Centennial Eureka,
BullionBeck, Gemini, Swas.ea and
Dragon Iron mine. are adjusting their
ar mott .fsa1l cir1er

the Uncle Sam, Humbug, Godiva, South

ton that in ninety days they will fairly
double their showings; because. also.
mines not included in last weeks total
will at once join the list such as the
May Day, Eagle-Blue Bell, La Refine.
Star Consolidated, Ajax and Tesora.
Probable Shippers.
What of the probable shippers? Does
anyone question for a moment that the
Sunbeam and Joe Bowers will not come
to the front again? The WoOdmansee
lease will have expired before Nov /,
and when Mr.. Buckbee can utilize the
ground now being handled by the leas-
ers, the gross output will be greatly
augmented, to say nothing about the
new Sunbeam diggings, which can ship
at once. How about the Showers Con-
solidated, in fine ore; the Sioux-Ajax

in this locality to be in d position to
join the producers when deemed ad-
