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 Hannin
have a splendid lease In this part OF
the mine, and from the present indica-
tions they win be able to lay the
foundation of Il snug fortune. \ 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 still remained nice
iece of money 10 be divided among the
owners of the lease, Other shipments
were equally as satisfactory. Albert
T.. Larson and Irwin Spriggs have a
good lease in this same section of the
mine. +. j. Brinton Is also doing
nicely with his block of ground. John

Eagle a 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
lniEe has been devotlng a great deal of
time to needed Improvements, the Eagle
Blue Bells shipments for the year
will exceed 400 carloads. New ma
chlnery has been purchased and in
stalled at this mine the main working
shaft has been deepened about 300
feet, new ore house has been built
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
result the hauling OF ore by team Is
n thing OF the past. This not only en-
ables the company to place the ore I'm
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 M
monced for the purpose OF tapping the
ore channel which had been opened up
ON the 500 foot level The ore was en-
countered ana the deposits proved TO
be larger and richer than was auticipat-
cd. The Eagle & Blue Bell mine is
controlled by the Bingham CONSOLIDATE
ed company.
