EUREKA.

Eureka, July 15.-Mining business in
the Tfntic district for the past few
days has not been very promising, but
brighter conditions are looked for
ward to.
Owing to the absence in Colorado of
| the manager and superintendent of the
| Centenniai-Eurek the prospects are
anything but bright for resuming oper-
atoms at the mine. There was a ru-
NOR afloat that work would begin about
the middle of the month with a force
of 300 men.
The policy of the managers of the
Yankee Consolidated is 10 curtail the
output, but in spite of this fact, twen-
ty-f1ve to thirty carloads of high class
silver-lead ore are shipped every
month. On this class of ore the com
pany receives very fair treatment
charges. The ore reserves are reported
to be very good. Godiva and Tetro are
silent
At the May Day the night shift has
been laid off until the mill work is re-
sumed. f. w. Wood the inventor of
the dry process used at the May Day
mill, is here directing the necessary
changes in the plant. He is perfectly
confident of its ultimateN success. Ship
ping on small scale is carried on all
the time. The greater part of the ore
is concentrates.
At the La Refine operations are pro-
crossing slowly by means of hand
drills.
A force of sixty men is at work at
the Carisa. From five to eight car
loads leave the mine every week.
AT the Lower Mammoth a fine body
OF ore has been opened up below the
! ,OOO-toot level, some of it running as
high as 100 ounces silver in carload
lots. The management is rapidly de-
creasing its Indebtedness.
The management of the Grand Cen
trail and the railroad people have had a |
little trouble concerning the extension |!
Of the East Tintic railway to it's ore |
bins. The Central agreed to furnish a |
minimum of IT'S tons a day of low
grade ore for transportation to the |
Bingham Copper & Gold smelter. but !
the railway people insisted upon a five
years contract. which the Central
company refused to sign. While this is
being settled, the ore will be trans
ported to the main line tracks by
cams. 1t is said the Central people
will order an aerial train to connect it's
BINS with the Short Line and Rio
irande tracks at Robinson, unless the
ailway people consent to connect their
racks at once
The Bingham Copper & Gold Smelt-,
llg people are once again trying to buy
he Eagle & Blue Bell mine. This time
hey may be successful. The ore from !
his mine is very rich, approximating J
20 a ton. People here are of the opin-
IN that the Eagle will be the rival of
ny of it's neighbors

nown. The district is one of Utah's 5
lost precious treasure boxes.
