MAMMOTH.
The most important feature associat-
ed with this comDany's happenings
during the year 1899. was the acquiring
of control of the Mafnmoth's affairs by
Samuel Mcintyre the stepping down
and out of William Mcintyre as man
ager. and the departure of Messrs.
James Fare and MiclIasl 'Rcurke, who
had most acceptably filed the respec-
mine and mill. These positions were
subsequently filled bv Messrs. ]. T.

1t may be, in the coming years, this
truly mammoth mine may not again
disclose such marvellous ore-yielding
capacity as was revealed in the fam

slopes, from which millions of dollars
in gold and silver values in the pure
metallic state, were extracted, but for
all of that, it goes without saying that
the Mammoth is the greatest all
around producing mine in Tintic atNthis
time. What the coming year, or sub
sequent years. may have in store is
surmise, a conjecture. Few. very few,
people nave any conception or the eX-
tent and measurement of the ore chutes
and ore bodies revealed by development
and stopping in this mine today. They
are simply stupendous and without
parallel in all Tintic. Under the man
agement of William Mcintyre large
proportion of the crude ores passed
through the mill. and while the output
from the mill in the way of concen-
trates is not quite equal to that of 1898,
the tonnage of smelling ore
sent to the local smelters for 1899 is far
in excess of that of the year before.
together with thirteen more bars of
bullion 1t was generally known when
William Mcintyre severed his connec-
ton with the company, that the physi-
cal condition of the mine was superb,
and it has been the aim of the succeed
ing management to maintain the same
standard Contrary to direful predic-
tons the mill was not closed, but is
dropping the full quota of stamps. and
il is believed to be making very graf
flying product.

ultimately making it the big proposition
it is now, then it NAV fairly be set
up that he was the means of injecting
new life all through the porphyry coun-
try. Because, with the success of the
Swansea, came the South Swansea, fol-
lowed quickly by the Four Aces, Picnic,
Rabbits Foot, the reviving of the Sum
beam and so on. The Swansea COM
pany has a surface area of ITO acres,
the Mountain 0hief. East Swansea,
North Swansea, Holman, Geddes, Snyd-
er and West Bower. The working
shaft. which is now 500 feet deep, was
sunk on the Mountain Chief. There
are 3,163 feet of drifts, WINES and
slopes, of which amount 1,400 feet have
been made this year. The output for
eleven months of the year 1899, in round
numbers, consists of 1900 tons of crude
ore, the contents of which were 1900, 900
pounds of lead. and 425, eco ounces Of
silver, as comp AIRED with 1,340, eco pounds
Of lead and $4,000 ounces of silver for
the same period in 1888, a difference of
959, eco pounds of lead and 132, 900 ounces
of silver in favor of the year Just
closed, an increase of 40 per cent for
the lead product and nearly 81 per cent
for the silver values, a very remark
able showing. The shipments for the

than any other one month in the year.
The writer does not believe the state
ment an exaggerated one to say that
the Swansea mine is in finer form to-
day and capable of achieving greater
and more profitable results than at any
time in its history. The officers are:
George P. Holman, president; Theron

Repeated but futile efforts were made
to obtain accurate data concerning
these companies. Not that there is any
occasion to dwell at length on their
respective merits. other than the season
of the year suggests customary cour-
tesies. The two first named are ex-
tremely close corporations, practically
under the control of one or two in
divi6uals, and the latter directed by
Jackson McChrystal, is handled much
after the same fashion. All three have
pursued the invariable course of de-
velopment. and the Gemini and Godiva
have maintained their usual fine avels
ages of ore production each week

opment work and exploration has been

jr, treasurer, ana Don B. Gillies, super
intendent. The development work done
in these claims in previous years was
not done with a view of future working,
but simply TO obtain what ore there
was in sight. The amount of explora-
ticn work done since Mr.. Grant as
sumed charge has all been done with a
view of developing the mines. AT pres
ent nothing is being done, with the ex-
ception of sinking two wines, running
two raises and putting the mines in
such a shape that low gradN ores in
upper workings can be taken out at
cost sufficiently low to enable treat
ment. 1t is impossible to do this at
present owing to the system with
which the mines have been worked.
The total development consist of 5000
feet of tunneling. cross-cutS, WINES
and upraises. The ore output for 1883
did not exceed 1000 tons. because the
mines were not actively worked. but
were leased to inexperienced parties.
The Farrell mall, built expressly to
handle the product of the mines, is
owned entirely by Messrs. Farrell. Wal

of these gentlemen to put the premises

The mines of the Tintic district have
directly been the means of creating
and supporting six towns, all of which
are more than ordinarily prosperous
and show unusual growth during the
past twelve months The big contrib

usual amount of development work,
the mine has sent to the local smelters
29.090,00Q pounds of crude ore, carrying
excellent values in gold, copper, silver
and lead. The mill. having a capacity

an immense compressor, and a perfect
electric safety indictor for shaft pur-
poses, at a cost exceeding 100000.
Including TIE continued sinking of the
double compartment shaft, main levels,
drifts, slopes, wines and raises, the
development work for the year amounts
to more than 5000 feet, with a total
of 5000 feet. Over the Victoria shaft
on the Eureka side. the company has
built new shaft house, added a Steam
hoist, and is making splendid Roadway

EUREKA-HILL.
With the exception of two small ship
ments during the month of November,
aggregating twelve cars of copper ore
sent to an eastern market, this great
dividend paying property has been
wholly out of the market this year with
its product. 1t is not by any means an
exaggeration to say that. excepting the
Mammoth, greater amount of ex-
tremely rich ore has been taken from
the Eureka-Hill ground than from. any
other mine in all Tintic. 1t was a
cerargyrite or horn silver, and, like
most secondary products of decompo-
sition, was discovered near the surface

There are countless historical facts
associated with the early periods of this
mine that would make intensely inter-
esting reading. Considerable prospect
ing and some development in the way
of sinking in the main shaft to the
1,400, has been done, and it is believed
with better results than has been dis
closed. The mine, like the mill, is SUI
perbly equipped, equal TO any necessity.
Much depends on the meeting of the
shareholders of the company next
month, as to what action will be taken
in the resumption Of operations in
the mill. and more vigorous and extern
sive explorations in the mine. In the
meantime one of the largest and most
