extends into the American ground. 1t
is understood that Uncle Jesse knight
who controls the Beck Tunnel mine,
made the Schmidt brothers a very good
offer for the ground just a short time
before the new company was launched.
THE MAMMOTH MINE.
Perhaps no property In the Tintc dis
trict has made a better record for the
year 1906 that the Mammoth mine at
Mammoth The mine has been heavy
shipper and with one or two eNcep-
tons regular dividend payer The
Mammoth Is the deepest mine in the
state today and yet the deepest work
ings have by no means penetrated be-
meath the deposits of high grade ore.
The main working shaft of the Mann
moth Is down a distance of BOO feet,
while there is winze extending 80 feet
below this level making the deepest
point in the mine 2.250 feet.
Strikes Of a very important nature
have been mode upon the lower levels
of the Mammoth within the past few
months that have virtually made a
new mine out of the old bonanza. The
showing OF copper ore upon the very
lowest levels leads the management 10
believe that with still greater depth, the
mine will become q great producer of
copper ore The fact that the COM
pauy has taken over adjoining terri
tory and Is now making preparations to
put down another working shaft shows
the opinion Of the management regard
ing the future OF the mine The upper
portion of the Mammoth shaft Is I'm
good solid country but that part Of It
below the GOO level is not so good The
big worked out Slopes ON every side
make it a very difficult matter to keep
the shaft In good condition and for this
reason the management has decided TO
put In another shaft II IS generally
understood that this shaft will be ocat-
ed farther up the hill I'm the solid
formation and it Is thought this new
shaft that the wealth Of this famous
old produced VIII In the future find an
outlet to the surface,
GRAND CENTRAL.
The Grand Central and Victoria mines
have made rapid strides forward this
year and have been regular dividend
payers. The Victoria Is stlll being
worked through the Grand Central and
has been opened up sufficiently to show
that 1t will be one of Tintic's great
mines.
THE LOWER MAMMOTH
This company recently voted to in
crease the capital stock by $4,000 and
To issue bonds for this amount The
money win be used In putting in new
machinery which Is badly needed and
in paying Off the Indebtedness which
has accumulated.
VICTOR CONS OPERATIONS.
Supt. Joseph Treloar IS now engaged
In sinking the shaft OF the Victor Con.
The main working shaft Is down IT.
Tie below the 500-foot level but in two
different parts OF the mine the work
ings extend TO the l09-foDt level. il is
the intention OF the management to
put the main working shaft down to
the 500, level or 100 feet below the deep
est workings at this time. A station
was recently cut out on the 500-f0ot
level. and a donkey engine installed To
carry on this work a new S0-hOrse-
power boiler has also been ordered for
delivery and some time this month.
Mr. Treloar says that In n Winze which
extends POO feet below the 5O0-fOot level
there is a 3-t0ot body OF ore carrying
as high as 10 per cent copper, and there
Is every reason to believe that the
ore deposits, which have made the
Carisa such wonderful mine, traverse
the Victor Cons territory. There are
several places I'm the vein whore ore
or a shipping grade can be taken out
