workings, ore Of the same grade which
the Mammoth is now shipping with
such results as to promise dividends in
the near future.
At Star Consolidated.
Across the guIch from the Victor the
old Star has opened up another of the
famous bodies of gold quartz that made
il a sensational performer many years
ago, before the Grand Central Yam
kee. May Day and many others of the
youngsters were born. The ore on
which the miners are now stopping is
below the 300-foot level and is evidently
a continuation of the magnificent stOpe
above, from which it was reached in
a winze that was dropped down for
thirty-fve feet in shipping rock.
From the ore body above the man
aSement is credited with a net profit Of
$4,000 IN about three months. The
stope below looks as good and yields
the same sensational auriferOus val
ues in selected samples. Meanwhile
the drift ON the 600 level, which is on
tn same fissure, is going ahead on it's
course to the bonanza ground, with
abundant indications of mineral in
sight.
Making a New Mine.
Jimmie Earls. who took charge of
the old BUlliOn-Beck mine in Eureka
about six weeks ago. is beginning al
ready to make a showing and has two
strikes TO his credit this week that tend
to give the natives faith in his asser-
ton that the Beck viii yet prove 20 oe
one of the biggest mines in Tintic i'm

was made in ground northwest Of the
shaft. under the Almo stope.

/ the Beck. who finally discovered, so it
/ is said, that they were being separated

l able themselves to fight a rich cor
pOratiOn, they bonded their property to
/ q syndicate of capitalists, with Colonel
/ Ed Loose at the head. These gentle

! the same time commenced sinking a
I shaft close TO the Beck lines. cab

I which seemed as willing to fight as tC

. 100000 on the deal, the property finally
. reverting to the Beck.
Since then several unsuccessful at

/ 7OO-foot level of the Beck. where It was
originally discovered and followed tC

dip of the deposit and has demonstrate
