Special Correspondence.
Eureka, July 26.-The Eagle and
Blue Bell encountered large body of
high grade ore on the 1000 level this
week, and 1t is said that the strike
beats anything yet uncovered in that
mine. At the present time there is
no way of telling the dimensions of the
ore body, but it is believed to be very
extensive. VIM. Owens. the superin-
tendent of the mine, cut the ore while
driving q drift to the north of the
shaft, in entirely virgin ground. No
ore has been taken from the strike ex-
cept that which has been necessary
no sign of either wall and from the
indications presented the strike will
prove to be the best yet made in the
property. The Eagle and Blue Bell
Is looking better than at any time in
its history. A great deal Of ore is be-
ing developed on all the levels below
the 500, and the mine Is making an ex-
cellent showing for itself in the out
put of ore, IL carloads going out
TO the sNelIer llllS week.
NJ. r. Sammon. an old time mining
man of this district, has again taken
up his residence here. Mr.. Sammon
has a group of claims in north Tin
tic. located between the Selma and
Nicholas Tintic companies properties.
On account of recent developments at
these properties Mr.. Sammon has de-
cided to commence work upon his
ground at once. and for that reason he
has again become resident of this
camp. The Selma and Nicholas Tin
tic companies have recently opened
up some nice Gre, and the former has
lust placed an order for new machinery
with which to prosecute development
work.

five patented claims northeast but near

There is said to be a nice streak OF ore

The Yuma Mining company is one
of the latest Tintic interpretations.

people, its officers being NJ. l.. Gar
ritz oresident; Rasmus Nelson, vice
president: Jerre Driscoll treasurer;
tlemen together with James Knowles
constitute the board of directors. The

shares at the par value or bo cents
each. The ground OF the company lies
in the eastern part of the district. and
contains six claims just east OF the
Crown Point.
A new company will be formed with
in the next few days to develop some
ground located about six miles TO
the north of Eureka. II will be known
as the Easter Mining q Milling COM
pany.
Connections with the May Day aud
Uncle Sam mines have been made
and beginning Aug. /, the May Day
win be closed down. All the work
for the two mines Will then be car
ried on through the Uncle Sam plant
The compressor at the May Day Will
undoubtedly be used however, until
stalled mt the Uncle sam. Both the
mines are now shi~-' regularly,
each having sent out fve carloads
this week.
Preparations are being made to start
work at the Star Consolidated. which
was recently consolidated with the
Black Jack. NJ. Blanchard has been
placed In charge at the mine, and he
10 now engaged in getting together
force of men to do the undersrI 4ul
work.
There Is little excitement here this
week over some strikes which have been
made in the Diamond end Of the dis
trict. AT the Buckeye some nice ore ls
reported TO have been opened up, but
for some reason the people In charge
care TO say nothing about It. The mine
was promptly closed and a Waterman
placed in charge.
A pipe line Is being put In connect
ing the Crown Point shaft with the
air compressor at the Colorado mine.
AS soon as this Is done, machine drill
win be used In sinking the Crown
Point shaft.
