The immense success that has come
tc the Scranton has been an incentive

entity to commence systematic develop
ments. The Scranton ore chute, which
Iuns i'm a northeasterly and southwest
erly direction through the Oxford group
OF claims adjoining the Scranton on the
south, and also through a group OF eight
claims called the Comet group. The
oxford group is the property of Charles
Parker. and he reports that the assess
ment work for 1906 has just been COM
pleted and this energetic gentleman,
with Gus Doetsch, owns also in the
Comet group. The groupings on the
Comet show that the vein is fully 200
feet wide and Messrs. DOetsch and Par
ker are running a tunnel to cross-cut it.
The tunnel is in about sixty feet, and
it is very probable that i'm the first few
weeks of the coming year this ledge

ore the Scranton will nave a formidable
rival

The New Bullion is property In
North Tintic that bids fair to become a
, shipper in the near future. The name
Of this mine was formerly the BalhIncn,
: most of the stock being then in the

, passed into the hands of c. F. Adams,
( Eugene Santchi and others of Salt Lake

in mary of the outlying prospects than
there are at the New Bullion today.
