The future of the Grand Central. with
It's accession of the Wedzewood and
King William claims promises to be q
dazzling one, and the Bingham Gold &
Copper crowd. it is universally admit

New East Tintic to Build.
The Oregon short Line seems deter
mined to make a dividend Garner of
the new East Tintic railway, which IL
purchased last fall of j. 9. Cunning
ham. Besides q spur to the Lover
Mammoth mine, which is 70 be laid at
once, it is said that work will be COM
menced on line to reach the Grand
Central. If a contract can be had. and
also the Star Consolidated and Dragon
iron mine on the south. To the Grand
Central from the Mammoth end of the
little road is but a short distance, with
an easy grade. but il is all rock work
Not content with this however the
management is surveying around the
mountain east with a view of reaching
Spy Hollow for the output of the Car
issa Spy mine, which is gefting to be
considerable. From there il would be
bug. May Day. Uncle Sam and Ciodiva.
between which and Spy Hollow are
several other properties that may al
any time become shippers.
Ten years ago the man who would
have spoken of the. possibility of a
bic mountain would have been derided
but so rapid has been the progress in
railroad building that il is now con-
sidered quite feasible.
1t Is believed by some that the Short
Line will not be alone in the effort to
reach these lofty mines. Several weeks
ago party of Rio Cirande surveyors
camped in Dragon Hollow east OF Sill
yer City. and il was said to be their
intention to survey for a road from
that camp to the Star Consolidated
mine Il is pointed out that from the
star the line on around TO SPY Hollow
would be much more feasible than the
rugged route which the new East Tin
TIC would be obliged TO follo~.
mere IS quite an interesting story
attached to the sale OF the New East
Intic road 10 the present owners. Mr.
cunning ham, after trying in vain TO
sell II 10 the Mammoth Mining COM
pany, gave an option on the line to
Two well known mining men for $50 O0O
Ihey opened negotiations with the Rio
Grande Western officials. and had the
trade about contaminated for $4,000,
When their option expired. In the
meantime the Short Line people Of
Tered to take the road at the ad-
Vanced price, and Mr. Cunningham in
stead of the promoters pOcketed the
extra $4,000. The line is standard
guage, thereby saving the cost of re-
loading; the motive power is n Shea
cog wheel engine. which can haul a
load over almost any grade.
Will Increase Shipments.
With the installation OF new mo-
tor Win sufficient power TO operate it's
entire compressor and the completion
OF the switch from the New East Tin
TIC railway, the Lower Mammoth will
at once Increase its shipments to fifty
tons day. As the metallic values of
Lower Mammoth ore run from $40 TO
$40 per ton, it requires but little figur-
ing TO assure the shareholders that
1hey have something good"

lnS company, which was sold during
the winter by the sheriff. has been re-
deemed by the company. the debts and
costs aggregating $1,000. The ground
