the low price some OF the metals
We're bringing at that time. At one
time there were In the neighborhood OF
100 men operating blocks OF ground UNI
der leases in the Bullion Beck mine,
and the number has not decreased to
any extent since.
The Eureka Hin Mining company re-
Gently adopted the leasing system IN
the upper workings OF It's mine and II
proved SO satisfactory that the lower
levels were also turned over TO leasers
a month ago. Several old dumps at
this mine were found TO contain ore
which brought nice profits TO the leas-
ers. Other leasers have opened up rich
deposits OF ore almost at the surface
IN what Is known as the old workings
of the Eureka Hill mine, and ship
ments are now being sent out almost
daily. Con j. and Joseph Hannifn
have a splendid lease in this part OF
the mine, and from the present indlca-
lions they VIII be able to lay the
foundation OF a snug fortune. A car
of ore which they sent out last month
brought nearly $4,000. after railroad
and smelling charges had been taken
out. OF course the company takes 30
per cent In royalties ON this grade of
ore, but there stlll remained a nice
iece of money TO be divided among the
owners OF the lease. Other shipments
were equally as satisfactory. Albert
i. Larson and Irwin Sprlggs have u
good lease IN this same section of the
mine. f. ]. Brinton IL also doing
nicely with his block of ground. john
4. Hayes, William Ball aud d. A.
Deput have just finished the shipment
OF dump ore at this same mine. They
state that IN six weeks they marketed
nearly 600 tons OF ore which brought
them rice profit. Supt. Robert Brown
Of the Centennial Eureka mine and
associates also have a splendid lease
on a block of Eureka Hin ground
which adjoins the Centennial Eureka.
Dave Mills, William Title, William DEN
mis- and Elipah Bowen were also for
tunate In opening up body of ore In
a portion OF the mine which had been
abandoned for years. Frank Ander-
son is also shipping some good ore
from his lease. Others are also doing
nearly as well, and the royalties are
pouring into the cOmpany's treasury
every month,
Eagle q Blue Bell
That the Eagle & Blue Bell mine will
soon take its place among the very
largest producers OF the state Is now
practically assured. Notwithstanding
the fact that the management OF the
miEe has been devoting a great deal OF
time to needed Improvements, the Eagle
& Blue Bells shipments for the year
viii exceed 400 carloads. New ma
chlneIy has been purchased and in
stalled at this mine, the main working
shaft has been deepened about 300
"a kn,
and grading tramway added to the
equipment OF the property. All within
the past year. The railroad company
has also put in "a spur TO within few
hundred feet Of the hoist. and as a
result the hauling of ore by team Is
"A thing OF the past. This not only en-
ables the company TO place the ore in
the cars without delay in all kinds Of
weather but means the saving OF n
great many dollars.
After the shaft had been put down
TO the 1000 foot level drifting was COM
ore channel which had been opened IN
nenced tor the purpose of tapping the
ore channel which had been opened M
on the 500 foot level The ore was en-
countered and the deposits proved to
be larger and richer than was antlcipat-
ed, The Eagle x Blue Bell mine is
controlled by the Bingham CONSOLIDATE
ed company,
