Special Correspondence.
Eureka, Aug. 3O.--The superintendent
of the Sioux Con property. A. ~ Hold
away, states that the new machinery
which was started up last week is now
working in perfect shape. and that two
shifts are engaged in sinking the shaft
which Is at present down a distance
of so feet. Al the rate the work is
now progressing, Mr. Holloway says
it will not be long before the shaft
is down to the depth at which 1t is
expected to tap the south extension
OF the Colorado ore vein.
MI. Holloway is also in charge of the
affairs of the old Utah. and says prep
arations are being made for the rev.
sumption of work. The old Utah prop
erty Of Tintic was located in the SOS,
and great deal of rich ore was taken
from the mine and shipped. Most OF
the ore sent out at that time brought
between $4,000 and $4,000 a carload. The
mine also produced a great deal of
low grade ore which was hauled to the
old Farrell mill at Robinson. Both
the Sioux and Utah companies have
vast holdings of undeYeloped ground
on both sides of the strike and their
managers are confident of finding par
allel ore bodies to the west and east
of the old deposit, basing their belief
uppon the fact that the Uncle Sam
and May Day have both developed par
Gllel ore bodies
In 1892 the Utah company was in
corporated by practically the same
people who owned the Siuox, and al
though they have passed into separate
hands, they are now owned and con-
trolled by the same mining men. The
capital stock OF the Utah company
was recently increased from 100000
shares Of the value of 81 to sloOo,OGo
shares of the value of % cents each.
Three-fourths Of the 100000 shares
placed on the market for development
work have been taken up by we'll known
mining men of the state, which gives
the company ample funds with which
10 develop the new ore bodies, Some
of the largest holders of Utah stock
as we'll as Sioux Con. interests are

Holloway, John c. Cutler. ]. Y. Smith.
and George NJ. Smoot r. r. Cutler
is president of the Utah, and Senator
Smoot is the president of the Sioux
Con. Mr.. Holloway is general man
ager for both companies.
