LOO 10 the 1900 and between the ], 500
and the l,6O0 levels there is a body of
ore equally large, and of substantially
the same grade.
The LOO is not exhausted by any
means, and now the company has the
1880, which gives evidence Of being the
best level of any, from the l,SOO to the
LOO. The ore vein is very wide on the
floor OF the l,70O, being twenty-four feet
wide, OF good merchantable siiVer-lead
ore, III any fair market for the metals.
1t is the intention Of the company, as
soon as may be, TO drive TO the east
boundary line Of the property, under
meath the showing above where some
hundreds Of thousands of dollars have
been taken, and which portion Of the
mine Is wholly uneXplOTed, from the
L2UO 10 the 1900, and where the ore is
exceedingly rich in many places. There
are splendid specimens OF ore taken
from this portion of the territory, show
ing many thousands of dollars to the
ton in silver, and it is believed that a
great mine can be opened on that side
of the territory, between the 1,2OO and
the 1880, in very brief period, by
cutting into ii.
Unfortunately for the Lower Nam
moth Mining company, as for all base
prOpitious, but that the mine is now
just coming into its own there can be
no doubt, and that ii has a life Of many
years before it, OF profitable mining and
dividends, seems TO be a moral certain
". It's capitalization is small being
now 10000 shares only and large div
idends per share do not amount to
much in the aggregate.
The equipment on the mine has no
superior in the state. The hoist now
upon it is capable of going 5000 feet
deep, with a capacity Of 200 tons per
day, being an electric hoist of 100 horse
power in perfect order.
The physical condition of the mine is
first class; drifts and tracks being in
perfect order The tracks necessary
to be used in taking out large tonnage
of ore have been recently supplied
with heavier steel. and Strengthened cut
ready for any demand that may be
made upon the mine.
The only difficulty just now. as with
all other mining properties Of like char
acter is the very depressed condi-
ton Of the market for metals, produced
by causes which it is not necessary or
proper to discuss here, but which it is
believed will soon pas saway
The surface improvements Of the mine
are sufficient for many years TO come.
Its ores are dumped directly into the
railroad cars, a spur having been built
for that purpose, so that the mine is
now in condition TO produce ore at the
minimum cost.

The old Ajax, the Mammoth's near

Good Ore in Black Jack.
Good ore has been encountered on the
1,400-foot level of the Black Jack mine.
Two carloads of very good stuff We're
shipped in the beginning of the month
The development work going forward
here is particularly characteristic of
the Knight management. and during
the coming year great things are ex-
| pected from the Black Jack and from
the Star Consolidated, recently alb
sorbcd in the former cOmpany's hold
! ings.
The Lower Mammoth is also on the
| sick list, as far as activity is con-
| cerned. All the men with the exceD-
ton of possibly four or five have been
laid off. 1t is rumOred that the large
body Of ore to the south in the lower
levels has Dinched out and that all
/ traces of it have disappeared, but
everybody is of the opinion that with
greater depth 1t win again be encOun-
| tered. It was in this mine that the
unfortunate death of William Ball took
place, he having been electrOcuted by
a live wire while showing a party Of
visitors through the underground
workings.

Opex shaft has been discontinued for
the present and that drifting is being

Victor Con. in Good Shape.
The Victor Con. is in excellent shape
although greater things were expected
of it during the past year. The shaft
is down distance of 500 feet, and from
here a drift has been run to the VEN.
This has been connected with the drift
above with two raises. in which some
very promising rock has been encoun-
tered The mine is closed down for the
present. but viii probably resume Ope-
ration early in the coming year.
Brief mention must be made of the
other mines in the district, as we are
limited as to space.
The Carisa has made an enviable
record. sending TO the reduction works

Tintic Irons Good Record.
The Tintic Iron mine shows a large
reduction in the tonnage shippei for
the reason that the mine has been

which netted the company the tidy
sum of $500. On another occasion the
mine turned out two cars which
fetched a handsome price, viz, S12.5
each. What do you think of that? Not
bad for producer that has been send
ing ore to the market for nearly forty
years Should such shipments be made
from any other place under the sun
they would have caused frenzied eX-
citenent. Not so in Tintic; everything
there goes forward slowly, but surely.

down; the machinery will be stored

Martins Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window of farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring. however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual. and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
OF this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs

up for daring to take possession of
their house.-Country Life.
