Great Activity Among The Properties
OF Tintic District

Eureka. Aug. 23,-J. C. Jensen re-
turned Wednesday evening from Salt
Lake and Provo where he spent several
days attending to mining business in
connection with the East Crown Point
company. Mr. Jensen states that
small force is at work at the East
Crown Point under the direction of
Supt. Joseph Reese, but the company
has not yet decided just where the
main working shaft will be located.
The company has thought OF using q
Keystone drill in prospecting the
ground, but there seems to be some
question as to whether the govern
ment viii accept this kind of explora-
ton work when a United States patent
to the ground is asked for. The mat
ter has been taken UP with the right
people at Washington. and If this Will
be allowed In the procuring of a pat
emf the East Crown Point company will
In all probability secure q Keystone
drill and commence prospecting. Mr..
Jensen has resigned as foreman of the
Uncle Sam mill, position he has been
with since that plant was erected four
years ago. The necessary grading has
been completed for the enlargement OF
the Uncle Sam min, and the changes
in the building will be made at once.
Preparations are under way for the
formation of another important min
try, under the name of the Iron Hat
Mining company, which will be incor-
porated for one million shares Of the
par value of % cents each. A substan-
tial block of stock has already been
placed for the carrying on of develop
ment work. Among those who are In
terested in the new company are George
n. Lawrence and n. A. Robertson of
Salt Lake, II. Gustaldi, c. r. Hush

Harvielle, of Mammoth, and others.
