TINTIc MINING NOTES.
Brooklyn Con. Is Big Mine-Tetro
Shaft Down 500 Feet.

The shaft at the Tetro has now reached
a depth of 800 feet, but prosecuting for
the ore body will not begin until the 500
foot level has been reached
Nearly all of the machinery at the Co
diva mill is now in place with the ex-
ception of the electric motor which will
furnish the power The mill will be
started I'D about the 18th of March
A mining deal from Eli Chace to ]. NJ.

Vided One-third interest in the IakevleW
mining claim in the North Tfntic dis
tTict mas been filed with the county re-
cOrder of Utah county. The consideration
named is 800.
Superintendent Erick Levin of the Nc
Kinley says that the rock through which
he is now drifting contains iron and that
there has been a noticeable Improvement
in the showing during the past few days.
The tunnel is now in a distance of over
900 feet and the crosscut is now being run
to the east
S. A Kennear was over from Silver
City during the week and says that the
lease which he has in partnership with
Charlie Parker of Eureka, upon the I'm
dine property is looking exceptionally we'll
at the present time. Mr.. kennear re-
ceived q check on Monday for the car
load of ore which was sent out a couple
of weeks ago, and states that the lot went
better than $50 per ton. Some of the
ore went as high as 500 per ton, but of
course there is but a small amount of
this grade. The owners Of the lease are
now in splendid shape 10 handle the ore
without doing any dead work, and even
if ii averages up better than $50 per
ton 1t means that they can pull down
nice piece Of money on every shipment
sent out
Reports from Silver City are to the eff
feet that the Brooklyn Consolidated prop
erty is opening uD into a big producing
mine. The Brooklyn is located near the
Dragon Iron mine, and while the ore is
also OF the iron variety il carries in the
neighbOrhood of SO in gold, making 1t
splendid grade for shipping The ore from
the Dragon Iron mine has never been
found to contain more than a few dollars
in gold TO the ton. and vet 1T can be
an entire mountain of the ore and it can
be broken down and put upon the cars at
a very nominal cost. At this season Of
the wear the bad wagon roads makes the
hauling of the ore from the mine TO
the railroad a difficult task and this &C
counts for a slight falling off in the
mines oTItDut

BULLY BOY LEASED.
w. z. White viii Undertake RecIa-
nation of Old Bonanza.

Marysvale, Feb. 24.-W. z. White
haS taken a bond and lease on the old
Bully Boy property in Bullion canyon.
He is convinced. after a careful exam
iuation of the workings that the great
lodges which produced such rich ore
in the upper tunnel can be picked up
in the loWec tunnel, and again make
the Bully Boy a big mine. From the
upper workings over 100000 worth of
shipping ore was taken out in a very
short time An effort was made to
tap this ledge at a lower depth, but
after running a tunnel for 200 feet
without striking it, work was aban-
dCned.
Mr.. White says he is confident that
by prosecuting to the west the gold
bearing vein will be encountered. So
much faith has he in the idea that he

has already been begun to this end
The property has a good location for
development The lower tunnel is
right at the edge of Bullion Creek and
there is also a milling plant on the old
Dalton property, not far away, which
could be easily used or bought for a
small figure.

new DISCOVERY
IN DEEP CREEK
Eureka Men Return From Clifton
District With Rich Samples
of Galena Ore.
BULLY BOY MINES LEASED
COPPER ORE SHIPPED HERE
FROM MASON VALLEY.

A message from Eureka. Tintio, says
that Deputy Sheriffs Harry Colds
brough and Hy Hartman, who have
just returned from the remote western
parts of this county, brought in q
chunk of steel galena which had just
been struck on the claims of c. E.
Johnson, in the Clifton district, TOOele
county, about forty miles to the north
west of Fish Springs, in the Deep
Creek country. The ore has been en-
countered in a tunnel which is only
in about los feet. and at a depth from
the surface of about 10 feet.
Mr. Johnson had several sacks of the
ore already on the dump and the face
in the tunnel was more than three feet
in width and showing signs of widen
ing. It is the intention of Mr.. John
son TO start sinking on the vein at
once. There is considerable excitement
in Fish Springs over the discovery,
the specimen brought in, although not
yet assayed, is evidently of great rich
ness, and an exodus from Tintic into
the country is likely to take place.

DESERT KING STRIKE.
Rich Gold Ore Reported in Sparks
Wedekind GROUP,

One Of the richest strikes in the his
tory Of WashOe county was made in the
Desert King mine yesterday, says the
Reno Journal Ore asSaying hundreds OF
dollars to the ton was uncovered by Mr..
Ramsey, the leaser, and indications are
that before his contract expires he will
have taken out enough wealth to make
him independently rich.
Two weeks ago a strike was, made on
the property, but 1t was not until yes
terday morning that shot uncovered the
glittering rock that means so much for
the future of this section of the state.
Samples were brought to Reno and some
are now being aSSayed. Until returns are
received it will be impossible to determine
the exact value. Every indication is that
the ore body is permanent
Yesterdays discovery is a decided trf-
umph for Governor Sparks and his ASST
ciates. Four years ago he took charge
of the Wedekind property, paying hand
some price to the late George Wedekind.
Soon afterward the vein pinched. In
stead of abandoning the property Cover
nor Sparks erected immense reduction
works and began developing The work
continued until the find made yesterday.
The result will undoubtedly be the re-
opening of the great mine and the en-
ployment of many additional miners. It
will also result in many prospectors re
locating claims abandoned in the Wede-
kind district within the past two years.

REVIVAL AT HANNAPAH.
New Strike ConVinces Old Prospec-
tors District Is Rich.

Since Duncan and Olsen grub-staked by
Hedge, made their strike in the Silver
Glance claim, about a mile north of the
old camp of Hannapah, interest in the
Hannapah district has been revived This
district experienced a big boom in 1902
and 1903. when hundreds of claims were
located and secured by the required To-
cation work. a great deal of develop
ment work has been done, there being at
least twenty shafts and inclineS ranging
in depth from thirty to 100 feet. Lack of
experience on the part of the Originel
owners, resulting in failure to find pay
ore now known to exist in several of the
properties, caused the district practically
TO be abandoned
The Hannapah Mining & Smelling COM
pany, controlled by Sam Newhouse of Salt
Lake and managed by Frank B. Work,
kept on working, however, and at the
present time has an incline shaft down
go feet and a vertical working shaft
which has reached a depth of $50 feet
eralized lode porphyry, and to all ap-
pearances 1t IS only a question of time
when the ledge Will be struck
The Hannapah mine is in the same por-
phyry belt in which Duncan and Olsen
made their remarkable strike; in fact
the new discovery was made on a group
Of claims forming the nOrthwesterly ex-
tension of the patented claims of the
Hannapah company. The strike proves
that there is pay ore in large quantities
in the Hannapah district, and during the
last two weeks the entire district has
been relocated.
It is evident that the original Iocators
especially those who did considerable
work. will strenuOusly endeavor to re-
cover their abandoned ground. and there
will undoubtedly be a good deal Of Iiti-
CATION. which viii naturally retard the
development of the district. A. r. Ora

Of the Silver Glance claim, have already
instituted suit for the recovery of the
ground

can hardly be found a rougher coun-
try.
Since that summer I have spent
many months and many hundreds OF
dollars searching for the lost mine and
finally gave it up. Besides myself
there have been dozens Of people who
have made extensive searches for the
property but they were equally unsuc-
cessful. The information by which we
were guided IN our searches was let

THE mine was accidentally discov-
cred about eighteen months ago by a
man fresh from the east, who had prob
ably never heard of a lost mine. by
accidentally slipping into the tunnel
while out prospecting. John H An

covery. He was out on the trip with
other men. Andrews is now in the east

To the Salt Lake Herald:
The railway mail service being at pres

my little say in regard to some of the diff
ficulties which now confront not only
the rank and file, but the officials as well,
of this particular branch of the poStoffice
department.
What 1 have to say does not appear as
coming from ''One on the inside or "a
man who is in a position to know. My
name appears at the end of this article.

ORE FROM MASON VALLEY.
Owners of the Blue Jay Send Carload
of Copper Rock to U. S. SmeIter.

A carload shipment of cuprite cop
per ore was shipped this week from the
Blue Jay copper mine on the east side
of Mason valley, says the Yerington,
New, Times. The ore is right from the
surface and is expected to go from 20
TO 80 per cent copper. The ore goes to
the United States Smelling company of
Salt Lake. The property is owned by
J. F. and c. F. Holland. who have done
considerable development work on it
ir years gone by. The indications are
that the claims will, in the near future,
be developed into a very valuable prop
erty. This shipment is being made as
a test TO see what can be done with
the ore, and if ii proves successful
much work will be done on the prop
erty and other shipments will be made,
as there are a great number Of tons of
GRE in sight.

An article recently appeared in the San

on our local officials. With about equal
consistency, one might criticize a tramp

steam yacht. What can a man do with
his hands tied2 The target for criticism
is higher up. The local trouble lies large

Salary of ST, 400 Possible.

Again, a man may rise in the service
until he becomes clerk-in-ch2rge at a sal
airy Of s14,O0. By this time, possibly, he
IS somewhat advanced in years, and the
work on his line has become so heavy
that he is physically unable to handle it,
mentally, and competent man for an Of
flee position paying as much or more
than he is getting on the road. Does he
get such position? Sometimes, but many
times not. Quite as often he is given a
position as transfer clerk at some place
other than his home, and at the reduced
Salary of $1,000 per year, and at the same
time some one rises to the office position,
whose chief qualifications are, like those
of some Of our soldiers, chiefly Of a social
nature.

in which a man may find himself after

thirty years. These are things that ought
not to be so, and some of us are hoping
for a brighter day.

In a ten-inning game the iSkeeters yes

they know something about base ball.
They won out by a score of 8 to 4. Both
teams put up great game,neither of
them making an error. The SkeeteTs
led the game, but were twice tied by the
Bisons. Hanford scored the winning sun
in the zenith. He had been passsd 70
first and cleverly stole second when Hal
Igan raped the ball down the third base
line for two bases. Handford scooted
home. He had distinguished himself in
the field and he welded the willow, max
in gthree rafting good hits He also
made a splendid catch of liner hot from
Murray's bat.
F'oxen, who was reported yesterday as
having been knocked out of the box in
the second inning of Tuesdays game,
pitched for the Jerseys yesterday and
did great work. He dad not pitch on
Tuesday. Moskimon was the man who
allowed the Buffalo team to make seven
runs in that inning. The mistake was
made by Umpire Campau in announcing
the names of the pitchers. There was
a number of close decisions IN yesterdays
game and these coupled with sensational
plays made the centest one of excitement
from start te finish. The pitching on
each side was excellsnt. though both the
box artists allowed numerous hits. The
Skeeters got nine of Brockett and the
