IN BOX ELDER COUNTY

The Swastika Mining company was in
corporated under the laws of Utah day
or two ago and arrangements are being
perfected to begin work in a few days
on the mining claims now owned by that
company. While the company is Off
cered by f. NJ. Bishop, the well known
assayer, as president, and William X
McNaughtOn as treasurer. the principal
party III interest is A. Caldwell, well
known mining man and prospector of
this state.
For the past year Mr.. Caldwell has con-

Jesse Knight Reported to Have
Colorado Wen in Crown
Point Ground.

1t was declared yesterday that the
Crown Point Mining company, which
owns fifteen claims at Tintic adjoining
the possessions of the Colorado company
on the east, and which is also controlled
by Uncle Jesse knight, had every pros
pect of becoming as big or bigger than
the Colorado is proving TO be, and that
is going some
The statement is made by shareholders
In the Crown Point that ii has been
learned through the exploration of Colo
RADIO ground through the cave which is
found in the fissure for a length of more
than so feet that the ledge swings and
enters one of the claims of the Crown
Point company where it cannot fail to
make a junction with the ledge already
disclosed in old Crown Point workings
1t is believed that one of the greatest
bodies of high-grade ore ever tapped in
the Tintic district is going to be uncov-
cred in Crown Point ground very soon
and the prediction is made that Uncle
property in even less time than was re-
quired in the case of either the Beck
Tunnel or the Colorado companies.
1t is argued that, while it will take some
little time to get at the ore bodies
through Crown Point workings, Mr..
Knight can, if he sees fit begin the eX-
traction OF ore at once through Colorado
workings. If not at once, it will only
require the opening UP of working ave-
nue. through the cave in the Colorado to
make this possible, and this, it is be
lieved will be done. These are the con-
ditions, it is claimed, which has made
Crown Point stock in such sharp demand
during the past few days.

DOWN FROM THE WElMER.
All Claims Surveyed for Patent
Lead Strike South of Property.

President J. B. Weimer and Engineer
j. I. BTeckOn of the Weimer Copper
company came down from the properties
on Birch Creek, Ida, yesterday morning.
Mr.. Breckon has been putting in about
three weeks finishing up the surveys for
patent on the cOmpanys forty claims and
mapping the ground of not only the Wei
mer copper possessions but properties to
the north and south as well. He has also
been surveying the new townsite of
Weimer City on Birch creek, below the
mine and surveying a line for an cleo
trio tramway between the mines and the
proposed mill and smelter sites on the
margins of Birch creek.
Mr.. Weimer states that it is the inten-
ton of the company to proceed to pat
ent with all of its claims without delay
and that the whole business will be
cleaned up during the fall months.
Enough work has been done on the prop
critics to a great deal more than meet
the requirements of the government and
it is the purpose to perfect title just
as soon as possible in order to avoid con-
flicts that would be sure to result from
prOmiScuOUS locating when the ineVita-
Bile boom hits the district.
The lead property that was recently
discovered and located south of the Wei

a good proposition. A winze is now be-

All of the ore now being taken out

new tunnel goes just that much further
to demonstrate the magnificent worth

erty.

RICH ORE FROM
TALISMAN LEASERS

Two carloads Of ore from the Talismaa
company's properties will be on the mar
ket tomorrow. They come from leasers IN
the old upper workings of the Talisman
and StaIWart claims. The car from the
Talisman is made up of three lots. The
first-class sampled 64.6 ounces silver and

- ounces silver and So per cent lead, and
the third class, of which there was but
little went ESQ ounces silver and 15.f per

that samples over $50 ounces silver AMI
high in lead, while the Stalwart leasers
are doing equally well. These old work

BIG VICTORY
FOR MINERS
Railroad Cannot Hold Mineral
Lands in Government
Grants.

According to advices from the secre-
tary's office, department of the interior,
at Washington, to Judge c. S. Narian,
who has handled the case, the Morgan
Argentine Mining company has won its
leng-pending fight against the Union Pa
/cific Railroad company to quiet title to
its properties in the Argenta district,
Morgan county. The termination of this
fight is of wide Importance to the mining
fraternity as it establishes a precedent
on which every owner of mineral ground
in railroad grants from the eastern limits
of Utah to the western lines of Nevada, or
anywhere else, for that matter, may stand
and fight for his rights.
This particular case is one where mining
ground, having been worked for years and
having produced much mineral, was final
iy selected by the railroad company as
agricultural ground because it happened
TO be in an old numbered section awarded
the company in the land grant from the
government When the railroad company
undertook to assert its ownership TO the
ground there was left one of two Things
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS company, OF
which Herbert Pembroke of this city is
president, TO do, namely, either fight or
buy the ground from the Union Paclnc
company. Mr.. Pembroke and his assoc
GATES chose the former. 1t has taken
several years of time and has cost a
great deal of money, but the mining COM
pany has won out finally and for keeps.
1t can now proceed and secure patent to
its claims from the government.
The Morgan-Argentine adjoins the prop
critics of the Carbonate Hill and Carbon
ate Gem companies, both of which are
well known mines, and the company Will
now proceed with its development secure
in the knowledge that neither the rail-
road company nor any one else can de
prive il of the buried mineral wealth
within the limits of its claims while the
entire district will take on new life now
that its status has been officially de-
ciared by the government.

MILL AT ANTHONY MINES
is NEARING COMPLETION

Manager Thompson Campbell of the
Utah Anthony company's properties at
Anthony. on Coyote creek Garfield
county. is up from camp on one of his
periodical business trips. He states that
everything is now practically ready for
the installation of machinery and equip
ment in the siXty-tOn milling plant that
is being put in by his company, and he
hopes to have it in running order by the
first day Of August.
The plant is to be a complete and up
tc-date one in every particular. and the
power to operate IL will be supplied by
150-horsepoWer Leffel wheel connected
with electric generators and motors. The
water from Coyote creek is piped right
into the MILL where the power plant is
being installed. The works will be cleo
trio lighted and when winter rolls around
the building will be heated by electricity,
also. as the Juice" is going to cost prac-
tically nothing to generate.
The mines of the company produce a
great deal of high grade ore as well as
q world of concentrating material, and
the management is confidently figuring on
making big money after the mill begins
operations AS far as finding a market
for the product of mine and mill is con-
cerned. Manager Campbell says it is not
a question as to whether the product can

TINTIC HAS ROOM
FOR 200 MORE MINERS

All the mines of Tintic are short of
men at the present time because of the
many new properties upon which work
has been started within the past few
months, says the Eureka Reporter. There
has been a scarcity of men here for
some time. not because any great num-
Der have moved away, but because the
pay rolls of the mines are larger. At
present there is work for 200 more miners
and muckers here in Tintic and a little
later even a large number of men will
be needed.
The mines here are dry, making work
in them far more healthy than is usually
the case in mine work, the wages are
the same as paid in other camps in the
state. the surroundings are more pleas
ant for the laboring men and yet there
is a scarcitv of labor. One reason for
this. we IN ..eve. is the fact that men
with families have a hard time secur-
ing houses in which to live. Every
house in Eureka is rented and while
there is considerable building going on
many more residences are needed. This
scarcity of labor goes to show that Tin
tic is growing more rapidly than any
other mining district IN the state.
