Ver-lead ore were marketed from the
strike made on the $50 level and the
property Is showing up well under the
direction of Supt, Joseph Hannihn, who
states that the shareholders, who have
been coming forward with the money to
carry on the development work, will
shortly be rewarded for thier faith in
the property. The stock Of the com
pany is now demanding good figure
on the Salt Lake stock exchange. and it
is the belief Of many prominent mining
men that the Little Chief is destined TO
be a dividend payer
Because OF disagreement between
the stockholders the
SNOWFLAKE NINE
property adjoining the Little Chief on
the south, was recently closed down.
Some Important DEVELOPMENT work WAS
done at this mine during the past few
months, under the direction Of Manager
william Hatfield, and It Is a matter OF
regret that the property should be idle
at this time. II is to be hopcd that the
stockholders will get together and patch
up heir difficulties and decide to Reopen
the mine,
THE TETRO
The Tetro Is another property near
Eureka that has opened up some rich
ore deposits during the past year. In
the large list Of properties which have
changed from prospects into mines dur
ing the year none are more prominent
IN the public eye than the Tetro. In
the ncighbOrhood OF 900 tons Of ore have
been taken from the strikes made dur
ing the summer months. The market
ing Of this ore had a wonderful effect
upon the stock, sending It up several
notches.
THE GoDIVA.
There Is nothing 10 report at this
mine and 1t Is difficult to state what the
company's plans for the future are.
The mine, which has been closed
throughout the year, contains n great
deal of low grade ore and il would not
be much of surprise il operations
were again resumed,
EAGLE AND BLUE BELL.
The Bingham Consolidated Mining
company Is in possession Of the Eagle
q Blue Bell mine. under a bond and
lease. In April of this year this synd-
cate secured an option on eco Of
the 100000 shares Of the stock In this
well known mine at the price of 81 per
share. AZ that time $4,000 was paid
down 10 bind the deal and the remain
der divided into equal payments. The
property was Immediately turned over
to the purchasers, who have since that
time paid a royalty on an ores mined.
1t is understood that the Bingham
Consolidated company has made the
payments promptly as they became
due ana that early in the new year the
formal transfer Of the mine win be
made. At about the same time that
this deal was made the same syndicate
secured an option on control OF the
stock in the Grand Central mine at
Mammoth, but for some reason 1t was
not taken up.
John H. McChrystal, one Of the for
MGR owners OF the Eagle & Blue Bell
mine, stated that the Bingham Consoli-
dated Mining company was thoroughly
satisfied with the present showing at
the mine. The new management of the

attention to prospecting and there Is

RED ROSE AND VICTOR.
These two mines were consolidated
this year and are now being operated
by the Victor Consolidated Mining COM
pany with Supt Joseph Treloar at the
helm. The consolidation Of the two
companies put stop TO the litigation

the shipments from the Geminl mina

the underground fire In the Eureka Hill
