BULLION BECK MILL.
The proposition of W. II. Peck to put
this old mill into commission again
appears to have fallen through. II was
given out g short time ago thar MIR.
Peck would make the necessary
changes In this plant as soon as the mill
which he was then building In another
part OF the state should be completed.
but since that time nothing whatever
has been made public, TO make use OF
the process by which Mr.. Peck proposed

Beck mine would have required the in
atallatlon Of entirely new machinery
with the possible exception Of the boil

company has enough low grade ore 10

THE GEMING MINE.
This property comes second In
the list Of Tintic shippers with

year. New boilers have also been M

Chrystal says that on account Of the /
water which has been encountered ON
the lower levels no work is now being
done below the i,6OO-foot level To take
care Of the water above this level Is by
no means small piece OF work, ana
the management Is said 10 be figuring
on putting in a couple Of new pumps
or some larger water tanks for the
hosting OF water. The ore bodies Of
this well known bonanza are increasing
In size and richness. and at no time

The shipments for the year
include several thousand tons OF dump
ore which has been placed upon the
market at fair profit. There are sey,
aral thousand tons more OF this dump
