Tintic, was In Eureka this week ell
route to that property. He stated to
the News" representative that he had
a force OF men at work on the ground,
and that he Is trying to induce the COM
pany to erect a mill for the treatment
OF the low grade ores Of that region, OF
which there IS a large tonnage avail
able. Not only would the Bonanza
mine be benefited but It's neighbors,
the Orient, Scotia and Burlington,
would also. Good reports are coming
In from the west end, and when spring
opens, considerable activity II anticl-
pated
I.easers ut the Eureka Hill have Sc
cured new leases, or renewals on the
old ones and the mine has taken an
active appearance. The company mas
refused to lease any ground that may
prove unsafe, thus protecting the men
against accidents, realizing that IN Il
grsat many cases miners VIII take
greater chances In getting out ore
when they are working for themselves
than when employed by the company.
Now that the lease question is settled,
the output OF the mine VIII be IN
creased very materially
