Heinze in Mammoth Hollow.
To the south If Eureka Peak fresh
/ impetus has been given 10 the enter
prises of Mammoth and Robinson by
tie advent of F. Augustus Heinze. A
company, of which he is practically the
/ backbone has taken over the AMMAN
dale, Apex, Rover and SPACE claims,
/ forming a group, which butts up
against the south end lines of the Cen
! tennial- Eureka's holdings. Here, very
close to the old AnnanGale shaft work
/ mas commenced in manner character
istic of the Montana copper king. 1t
is barely three months since this ground
was secured, yet a good wagon road has
been finished that leads up the noun
tain side tc the Annandale. pipe line
] has been completed that connects with
the water system Of the Mammoth Min
/ ing company and is $500 feet long: the
grading for the hoist and the compress
sors which will be installed is all FIN
ished and the shaft is alreadv under
way This shaft will be 1900 feet deep
to start with. All this preliminary work
is another proof that capital, especially
educated capital, has faith enough in
this pert Of Tintic, where heretofore
practically no work of any Importance
was ever done. Frank P. SwindleT, VINO
is looking after the welfare of the Eagle

MIR. Heinze's venture.
Mammoth and Grand Central.
The Mammoth and Grand Central
mines during the past year have gone
along i'm the even tenor of their way
continuing steadily to aGd to the
wealth of the state and their share
holders.
An important Improvement will take
place in the Mammoth during the COM
ing year. The news has been given OUT
that a new shaft will be sunk farther
ZIP the gulch. which lies to the east OF
the site of the present shafthouse. To
set this shaft down Will not take very
long, as raising can De carried on from
level to level. To any one knowing the
condition of the old shaft, which is the
deepest in the state, this will appear
a good move on the part of the man
tagement On several levels, more espe-
cially at the 4O0-fOOt level, stopping has
been carried on right up to within a Few
feet Of the shaft, which prevents its
beng kept in a good, safe condition
There is plenty of life in the old Nam
moth yet, so that the outlay necessary
to complete the new shaft will speedily
turn back into the Golfers of the com
pany and possibly prevent serious dis
lasters. The Mammoth is third in the
shipping record, with Gal cars to its
credit.
Victor Consolidated.
superintendent Joseph Treloar Of the
Victor Consolidated informs the writer
, that in order to be in position to tar
what is considered to be a continuation
of the Carisa ore shoot, which has made
its appearance in the winze at the deptf
of 200 feet, the main shaft viii be SEN
Gown as quickly as possible from the
, 500-fOot level to the 800. In the WINE
: at the depth of 700 feet three feet o
good copper ore has been uncovered
which appears to be opening up, anC
: Mr.. TTeloar says that as soon as TIT
shaft which is already under way anG
being driven down at the rate Of fou
feet a day, reaches the S00-fOot leve
he will commence drifting in the direc
ton of this ore and then raise to catcl

working, and as soon rs the new eighty

taken out at the present time, and tn
record for the past year was only SIX
