too. Is one OF the old mines of the
camp from which few fortunate
stockholders have been reaping har-
vest of gold FOR many years. At tho
Present time the Eureka Hill Mining
company is doing no work underground
simply keeping the hosting plant IN
operation for the convenience of the
leasers. As 4 general thing the leasers
in This mine are also doing nicely
making money both for thenSelyes
and the company.
LEASERS IN OTHER MINES.
Leasing Is also carried on extensively
at the Mammoth mine at Mammoth.
and also upon smaller scale st
scores OF other mines throughout the
district. Upon many occasions the
le0sers have been able to work profit
ably ore which mining companies could
not handle successfully. There are
various reasons for this, one of which
is the great care exercised by the leas-
ers in the sorting of the ore before II is
sent to the smeter.
ALL CAMPS BENEFITED.
All of the mining camps in Tintic
have been benefited by the leasing sys-
ten and today 1t forms an important
factor in the districts prosperity.
COPPER ORE FROM EUREKA HILL.
1t fell to the lot of f. j. Brinton of
Eureka to furnish to the United States
Smelling, Refining & Mining company
a car of copper ore, which from a
smelling viewpoint was the finest ever
received by that company. Mr.. Brln-
ton Is a lcaser at the Eureka Hill mine,
and the car of ore in question was
taken from block of ground upon the
l,000-foot level. The United States COM
pany has OF course handled richer ore,
but none SO free from everything OBJ
jcctionable. This car of ore ran AZ
per cent copper, the iron and silica con-
tents neutralizing one another. Mr..
Brinton's car of ore is said to have
brought little better than $4,000 over
and above all expenses of shipping and
smelling Since that time this same
lease has produced another shipment
or two which were nearly as good.
RECC RID FOR RICH ORE.
It is stated that the Eureka Hill Min
ing company holds the record for hay
ing shipped the richest lot OF ore that
over came from Tintic. This lot was
consigned TO the market several years
ago aud the chief values were in silver.
There were In the nelghborhood of 10
cars in the lot, and the entire amount
Of ore. which brought the company
about $4,000, could have been loaded
very easily into four or FIVE cars the
way they are loaded at the present
time.
The ground of the Eureka Hin mine
was located in 1870, II was the
&c nine In the district to he
rkcd to an extent and also the
first shipper of Tlntic. Upon the Eu-
reka Hin ground the vein of rich ore
cropped out at the surface. The Eure-
ka Elll ground end lines with the
Centennial Eureka and side lines with
the Bullion Beck property. The Eu-
reka Hin ores are in part identical with
those of the Centennial Eureka, which
are essentially copper and gold ores,
and in part they are identical with the
Bullion Beck ores which are essentially
silver and lead,
UNDERGROUND WORKINGS.
Although The Eureka Hill company
was what might be termed the pioneer
Of the Tlntic district the owners made
no effort IN expand their boundary
lines. The ground Of the company con-
rists OF but q acres but It r. conser-
vatlvey estimated that there are 81
miles Of underground workings IN the
mire. In years past the company solved
the difficult problem Of handling the
ores by difficult process and not a
year has passed without the mine add
Ing to the pockets OF those so fortu-
nate as to own stock.
THE CENTENNIAL EUREKA.
Notwithstanding that the famous
old Centennial Eureka mine has been
producing nearly train load Of ore
daily for years past the mine appears
To be getting bigger and richer every
year. There is apparently no end TO
the immense ore deposits IN the Centen-
NAL Eureka which have already yielded
ore that has made millions in dividends
! for the fortunate shareholders. This
mine alone Is producing more ore than
al the mines OF Park City combined.
| While the ore IL perhaps not quite as
! rich as that which is being taken
from the Silver King at Park city 1t Is
| a magnificent grade Of ore and 1t Is
| generally known that the Centennial
| Eureka is by far the most valuable
| property owned by the United States
| company.
