TO SINK DEEP SHAFT.
Machinery Ordered for AnrandaIe
Mine at Mammoth.

That r Augustus Heinze. the Montana
copper king. is reaching out for some of
the most valuable ground in the Tintic
district is now certainty, says the Eu-
reka Miner.
At the time Mr. Heinze took over the
control of the Bingham Consolidated COM
pany's properties. among which is the
Eagle & Blue Bell at this place. il was
generally understood that il was only a
matter of time until other valuable min
eral ground in this section would form
the basis of a new company. OF course.
nothing definite was given out at that
time. but many important matters have
come to light within the past few weeks
Frank p. Swindler, the well-known min
ing engineer and expert. who is upon the
staff of Mr.. HeinZe. recently arrived in
Eureka, and since that time he has been
devoting his time to the Eagle 81 Blue
Bell. Mr.. Swindler is also managing af-
organized, or perhaps we should say
which is now being organized, to develop
very valuable group of claims at Nam
moth, and 1t Is only natural to suppose
that Mr.. Heinze and his associates are
back Of this company. AS stated in
these columns some weeks ago, the COM
pany's ground will include the An
Mandate, Opex, Rover, Space and other
valuable claims stretching from the south
end lines Of the Centennial Eureka prop
erty clear across the Mammoth guIch.
Under Mr.. Swindler's direction work
was started in earnest this week and a
three-compartment shaft will be sunk
upon the Annandale claim. A wagon road
is now being built in order that lumber
and other material can be taken to the
site Of the new hoisting plant.
When asked the other day regarding the
company's plans. Mr.. Swindler said that
the sinking OF a three-compartment shaft
had been started. New machinery cana
BILE of sinking to distance Of 1600 feet
which was ordered some time ago will be
delivered upon the ground within the next
sixty days. This machinery includes
300 horsepower boiler, double drum hoist
air compressor, and, in fact all the acces-
series that go toward making a we'll
equipped plant in every respect Mr.
Swindler said that no time would be lost
either in putting this new machinery in
place or in sinking the shaft to the 1900
foot level. He also said that it was the
intention of the company to do but little
other work while sinking is going on,
simply cutting a few stations. possibly
not more than three or four. in the en-
tire distance.
Carpenters will be put to work at once
erecting an office building blacksmith
shop and later the large building which
Is to house the machinery Arrangements
have been made with the Mammoth Min
ing company for water. and q 100 foot
pipe line, connecting the two properties,
will be put in at once
The starting OF work in this fashion
upon this group of claims certainly
means much to the people of Mammoth.
aud the advent of Mr. Swinder who has
the reputation for doing things, means a
great deal to the entire district Mr.
Swindler states that he intends to re-
main right here. devotinS his entire time

and associates here have Just begun, and
that before many months have passed
other important developments can be
looked for.
