ter OF the United States company the
Centennial Eureka has been called upon
to furnish as high as 100 car loads, or
nearly 5000 tons Of ore In a single
week and this was done without tax
ing the mine to It's capacity. The
weekly output of the mine at the pres

ON SNOWFLAKE GROIrNn
Manager William Hatfield Of the
Snowflake mine, adjoining the Eagle
and Blue bell. says that the drift which
is being run upon the l,000-foo level Ia
expected TO break into the ore at any
time. The showing upon this level Is
improving with every shot and the
Snowflake should be able to take It's
place IN the list of producers before

HEINzE IN TINTIC.
The Montana copper king, f. Au-
gustus Heinze, Is apparently anxious
to Increase his Tintic holdings. a few
months ago this well known opera tor
spent few days in looking over the
Eagle and Blue Bell mine--one of the
properties of the Bingham Consolidated
oompany-and after his departure II
was given out that an adjoining claim
had been purchased. At this time IL
was also decided to sink the shaft to
greater depth, but the new strike
upon the 1000 foot level resulted In the
work being discontinued Frank p.
Swindler. who is upon Mr.. Helnze's
staff, has taken up his residence IN
Eureka and Is devotng his time to. the
Eagle & Blue Bell and other property
In which Mr.. Heinze is Interested men

this page The shaft at the Eagle &
Blue Bell is now down a distance Of
over llOO feet, and Mr.. Swindler says
that he has no intention Of sinking
deeper until the vast territory above
this level has been more thoroughly
prospected The most important strike
of the year was that made recently
upon the 1000 level The showing upon
this level. as well as the 500 foot level
never was better than at present.
ANOTHER HEINZE ENTERPRISE.
Less than three months ago. a COM
pany, backed by Mr. Heinze and ass6-
ciates, took over n very valuable group
of claims at Mammoth, This group
includes the Annandale, Apex, Rover.
Space, and several other claims
stretching from the south end lines of
the Centennial Eureka mine clear
across the Mammoth gulch. Without
any delay, work was started ON this
ground, and Frank T.. Swndler is au-
thorlty for the statement that 1000
foot shaft will be sunk The first
thing that the company did was to
place an order for machinery, which

this group OF claims certainly means
much to the people Of Mammoth ana
