Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1906-12-15

a great deal OF attention during the
past year, and IL Is the general opinion
that the property Is soon To take its
place among the producers OF the dis
trict. In September OF this year the
news that ore had been encountered
upon the 500 foot level sent the stock
jumping upward, and right on top of
this came the announcement that the
mine would be closed down until new
machinery could be Installed The
company purchased the machinery If
the Silver King Consolidated mine ut
Park city, and the shaft house build
ings OF the old Blue Bird mine in the
south end OF the Tintic district. The
moving and Installing of this machinery
and buildings was a very difficult task
and was only completed last month.
With its present equipment the Little
Chief mine Is in splendid shape to not
only handle the ore which is now UNI
covered upon the 500 foot level, but
to continue the search to a greater
depth Az several different points
upon the 500 foot level Supt. Joseph
Hannfn says that he has encountered
a character OF rock which lead those
familiar with the mine to believe that
they are right over immense deposits
OF rich ore. and for this reason the
workings win be put down at least POO
feet farther.
RICH VEIN OF MAGANESE.
What promises to be one of the
biggest mining propositions in Tintic
is the manganese property Of Ahssrs.
Bridges and Parker. This ground Is
located TO the east OF HOmansNlle ana
II was only this year that the owners
discovered the presence OF the vein
of manganese which has now been
opened up snffici 'nty to show that It
extends for distance of 5000.
The lime formation IN this part Of
Tintic extends north and south which
the vein OF manganese runs east and
west which would indicate that il H.
q cross-hssure, This vein carries as
high rs 10 pc" cent manganese There
ic perhaps but one place I'm the state
where ore carrying nothing but man
glnese is shipped The metal Is used
principally IN the manufacture OF steel
aud as this country does not produce
enough to supply the demand there IS
every reason to believe that the own
ers OF the manganese deposits in Tin
tic Will be able tn find a market FOR
the ore.
THE GEMINI MINE
The Gamini Cor keystone) mine con-
mage of high grade ore and Il Is gem
orally understood that the stockhold-
ors OF this property are receiving in
the neighb0rhond of $4,000 per

given out The Ridge & Valley mine
Is also being worked through the Ge-
mini, the stock I'm the two mines being

The Ridge AMI Valley is also divi-
dend payer but like the Gemini II IS
a close corporation and the exact
amount of its earnings is not known
Tho same interests which control the
Ridge and Valley and Gemini also con.
troll the Godlva mine At this mine
q new mill was recently completed for
the handling Of the low grade ore.
The GOdiya mine and mill are both
doing good work and making money
for the stockholders.
UNCLE SAM CONSOLIDATED.
The Uncle sam mine is I'm splendid
condition at the present time aud the
mill Is also giving a good account of
itself, The pa sing of the October and
November dividends has led many
people to believe that the underground
conditions We're not the best but the
i'ao'H Atlti Ailrn@ NlNlutnuN were NOT
declared as usual Is that the company
has experienced some little trouble in
the shipment Of ore 4 number of
leasers are now at work in the upper
workings ~ the Uncle Sam mine and
according To- all reports they are all
doing very nicely.
CHANGES IN MAY DAY.
The past year has witnessed several
important changes underground at the
May Day mine and the property Is now
IN better condition than at any time
In its history. Messrs. Kelley and
KEITH who have undertaken TO remodel
the May Day mill so that the low
grade ore from this mine can be treat
ed by the dry process are now at work
making the necessary changes in the
plant The gentlemen are sanguine
as TO the outcome OF their work and
If they are successful 1t will be a big
boon TO the May Day company as
there are enormous deposits If low
grade ore In he mine that could
be turned into dividend money
with the right kind Of a concentrating
plant. II VIII be remembered by road.
cts Of the Deseret News that the NAV
Day dry concentrntor." ~ il was
called, was erected several years ago by
the Grown Milling company. IL was
purely an experiment and after several
triol runs II was declared to be a fail.
