CR0WOING THE WORK
AT INDIAN QUEEN

Manager David Evans of the Indian
Queen has returned from his trip to the
coast, after having stopped off day or
two at the cOmpany's Beaver county
mines on his way back. He reports the
new tunnel now in a distance of over
1000 feet, and says that every prOvis-
ion has been made for the carrying
through of the winters campaign of
development. The stringers of ore en-
COuntered in the starting of the tunnel
have been passed through and others,
which showed up later, have met the
same fate.
The ground through which we are
now driving" said Mr.. Evans In a joe
ular strain, lis now barren enough of
mineral to suit the most pessimistic:
but we are not worrying over that
We have a long way to drive before
we reach the country in which we are
certain the mine exists, so anything
encountered ahead of time is just like
finding money in the street"
Mr.. Evans went into NeWhouse on
Saturday mornings train and he de-
clared it was a happy lot of men that
unlOaded from the train with their
trunks, grips. blankets, etc, prepara-
tory to going back to work in the Cac-
tus mine. He happened to Gin New
house the day the orders were given to
trim the forces. and the scene Satur-
day morning. he declared. was i'm great
contrast to that unfolded when the
men were taking the train to leave.

NEW PROPERTY
MAKING GOOD
Rich Carb0nateS and Good Ca
lena Is Found in the
Granite Mountain.
SAMPLES ARE TRIED IN FIRE
AND FOUND TO BE BETTER
THAN EXPECTED.
SAMPLES ARE TRIED IN FIRE

Fred L. Schrott, superintendent of
the Granite Mountain Mining q De-
vehement company's properties, near
Dolly Warden, west of the Deep Greek
country, in Nevada, returned from a
fifteen days trip to the mines yester-
day morning laden with samples of ore
that has been encountered during his
absence.
We have been doing a good deal of
prospecting along the great ledge, "
said Mr.. Schrott, land we have now
sink the first shaft. This point is as
near the center of our six claims as it
would be possible to make it without
an actual survey. Enough prospecting
and open-cut work has now been done
to demonstrate beyond a doubt that
we have the ledge running practically
through the center of our claims for
5000 feet. AT the point where sinking
has commenced the vein is close to fifty
feet wide. The shaft is started close to
the hanging wall side and, judging
from what we know of the dip of the
ledge, il is likely that we shall have to
sink sixty feet ore more to get the foot
wall side. Where the shaft is located,
the mineral was breaking through the
iron and lime Gaping, and right be
low this we commenced to get galena
such as these samples. We have taken
out several tons of this material and
as much more of this yellow carbonate
that makes in a streak several feet
thick right under the galena ore. /
believe We shall cut several streaks of
ore in sinking to the footwall, and
there I hope to find another big streak
of galena, richer than anything found
close to the surface"
The ore carrying the galena is appar-
entity a heavy quartz associated with
a heavy spar, and the galena is scat
tered all through it. The carbonate
looks as yellow as gold and, from ap-
pearanCes, would not carry much value.
During the afternoon assays on sam
pies of both characters of ore were re-
ceived and the returns were a surprise
to the management. The galena rock
assayed 39.0 per cent lead, 1.22 ounces
silver and Sl60 in gold. That was con-
sidered good; but the surprise came i'm
the carbonate, which was not believed
to be as rich in mineral as the galena
rock. The assay certificate showed it
to contain $2460 in gold, 212 ounces
silver and 1884 per cent lead per ton.
with this kind of stuff practically
at the surface in a fifty-foot ledge"
said Mr. Schrott, I'VE feel that we have
right to expect the opening of a big
mInue. At any rate, during my stay
at camp we secured teams and had
legs hauled With which to construct
buildings and provide timbers for the
shaft and the boys at the mine are
row about ready for the winters work
We shall now roll in supplies, secure a
hoist for the shaft and push develop
ment all winter"

twenty miles north of Wallace in the

EUREKA HILL
AND GEMINI
Both Companies Hold Annual
Meetings and Elect Officers
for Another Year.
GEMINI'S $40 DIVIDENDS
PRODUCTION RESTRICTED AT
THE PRESENT TIME.

It was a regular happy family
gathering, small in number and perfect
~ harmonious in action that met yester-
day afternoon To listen TO reports and
elect officers and directors for the en-
suing year for the Gemini and Eureka
Hill Mining companies two of the Old
Tintic stand-bys.
AS the controlling interests in both
companies are practically Identical the
same men serve as directors in each.
while J. f. Berkeley serves both cor
poraUiOns as secretary. Being largely
I'm the nature of close corporations,
there is never much information given
TO the public, though Manager E. w.
Packard stated that anything of real
public moment concerning the mines
and the companies he stood always
ready to release.
Just now" said Mr.. Packard, the
Eureka Hill is idle and the output Of
the Gemini is restricted TO meet the
desires of the smelling company which
takes the ore. When the troubles of
the smelters have been smoOthed out,
we shall get down to regulation BUSH
ness again"
During the year the Gemini COM
pany, with its modest capital of 5000
shares, has disbursed two dividends of
$40 per share, or Il total of 100000,
while the Eureka Hill has made no dis
tribution for the past year.
The old officers and directors of each
company were reelected, as follows:
John Q. Packard. president; E. w
Packard. vice president and manager;
l. S. Hills, treasurer; Jackson G. Nc
Chrystal, superintendent, with Robert
Hardness as the fifth director.
