Gemini.
This grand old bonanza is still in the
ring with regularly weekly shipments or
from five to six cars Of high-grade ore.
During the past month the shipments
have been much greater. as the company
is shipping the third-class dump.

Ridge and Valley.
II is indeed good news that the Ridge
and Valley mine, largely controlled oy
in the Gen.ini. has got the ore TO the
northwaFd in practically the same direc-
ton that Professors Keys Clayton ana
Palmer predicted twenty years ago, while
they were emeployed as experts in the
famous mining suit between the Eureka
Hill aid the Bullion-B Beck, as il ought
10 go. 1t takes many years and good
many dollars &c prove up theories OF eX-
perts, but Tintic is doing IL. This news
pector who is interested to the north or
Eureka and also OF the business men or
the town. There is no doubt that the
north ground commonly known as North
Tintie will prove as famous as Tintic.
The ore from the Ridge and Valley is be-
ing handled through the Gemini mine
shaft
BullIon-Beck.
This old producer IS being almost en-
tirely worked by leasers who. with very
few exceptions, have all made snug little
sums for themselves. as we'll as for the
company. There are about eghty-five Of
thin and their efforts are being almost
continually rewarded by the discovery or
new bodies Of ore that are sometimes
very rich. For a property that was pre-
Quilted Of ore. this is very gratifying.
Eureka Hill,
The same system in vogue in the old
Beck mine is being followed at the Eu-
reka Hill and has been very successful,
as the fifty or more leasers in that
nine have made some shipments Of very
fine ore. Among the most successful or
these leasers are John T. Keynes, VIII
liam Ball ard d. A. Depue, and Con J.
Hannifin and Joseph Hannifin. The two
latter gentlemen shipped one car. which
Melted the SNUG little sum OF 5000 dol
lars.
Mammoth Mine.
The management OF the Mammoth has
also followed in the footsteps Of the two
mines already referred TO. Here, out OF
q force of over one hundred men, only
about forty are working as company
men," tho remainder being all on leases.
A day or two before Christmas abou.
81, 600 was divided among the leasers. Sam
Mcintyre says that since the system has
been followed, more money has rolled in
TO the company's Golfers and better work
has been done. The company takes care
that ell parts of the mine under lease
are properly timbered and HOSTS the ore
from the leases free Of charge. thus maxi
ing the expenses to be borne by these
men very light, indeed.
Snowflake.
AS a prospect, the Snowflake is well
worthy OF mention. The ground is stu
ated between the Eureka Hill, Eagle a.
Blue Bell and Little Chief mines. Opera
tons were started again last August af-
ter an interval Of over a year and the
shaft has been sent down at a clipping
pace under the SUPPLEMENTARY Of ]. b.
