Mammoth,l June 25-As much as has
been said and written about the truly
great Tintic district as a marvellous
area of mineralized country, it is a
mooted question if one person out of
ffty-residents of Utah, too-have an
accurate or comprehensive idea of the
extent and magnitude of the great ore
zones or channels traversing the ter
rltory embraced in the district, or any
definite knowledge of the number of
mining properties being worked at the
present time. In truth it is a question
IL many residents of Eureka have the
remotest idea of the manner in which
explorations are being carried on in
and near Silver City and Diamond, or
now both towns are rapidly becoming
busy places; nor is it likely that the
folks of the lower end of the district
have correct knowledge of how pros
perously affairs are going on in Rob
lnSon- Mammoth, and how Eureka is
reaching out, not only in the mining
industry, but in a commercial way.
OF course, everyone in Utah and the
adjoining states is reasonably familiar
