Since the discovery Of the old Eureka
Jill mine in the year 1870, the great
mining district of Tintic has never been
81 as prosperous condition as it is at
present. This condition is not the re-
suit of syst M t'izrd booming, but of
the STEADY advance in the price of the
metals mined in the district and also
of the Increased development and the
intelligent application of the more mod
ern methods of extraction.
The above tabl/ gives the number OF
cars shipped from Jan. l of this year
till Dec. II. This is, Indeed, remark
able record and shows that TIntic, after
an existence of over thirty years. some
time prosperous, sometimes practically
dead-has taken on a new lease of life.
which promises to be almost in perpetu-
fly All those of little faith, who have
departed from the district in the last
few years and in so doing sacrificed
their holdings for a mere song, and VINO
have sought out other fields, attracted
by the glamour of strikes. are looking
backward with longing eyes on the
chances which have slipped through
their fingers The old saying, Far
away fields always look green" is thus
proved up, and the ever-rcaming pros

ln Tintic. Investors who are watching
FOR substantial and lasting profits on
their capital are gradually finding out
that Tintic offers them ali almost GER

and those who watch its development
from afar are never surprised when
they hear of a new strike in any of the
surrounding prospects, and new strike
IN an old producer is taken as a matter
of course and causes no excitement
whatever.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
As so much has already been said In
regard to the old producers, cursory
glance at their doings will suffice. The
largest shipper of the district is the
Centennial Eureka, Familiarity known as
the ole Blue Rock. This Colossus has
shipped, as will be seen from the Ia
bic Of shipments, the immense total OF
212S cars. This is an average of about
forty-fVe cars each week, and is GER
tainly a magnificent record. The man.
agement of this mine makes every ef-
fort to keep up with the onward march
of improvement. A new compressor is
being installed which will furnish power
for more than fifty air drills, and new
hoist will be put in operation in the
near future, so that before 1907 draws
TO q close it is possible, providing the
company can procure the necessary
number Of railroad cars to handle Its
product, that the present output VIII De
INCREASED over so per cent The United
states Mining company owns no more
valuable property than this. There
seems to be no end to the deposits, anC
the company has just recently MADE
arrangements for the acquisition Of
some very valuable ground lying to the
east OF its present holdings. Thi'
group consists of thirteen claims, and
the Centennial people have taken :
bond and lease on them for Sl62,OO0
and are at present pushing their devel-
opment forward with a large force Of
anen.
BuiIion-Bec
Passing from the Blue Rock to It's
near neighbOr across the gulch, the
Bullion-Beck, we find an entirely differ

great good this has accomplished and

leasers have drawn down in profits Il

Eureka Hill.
