property to the front, came on a stra,L

To the south of this grouD there is
still another group of claims worthy Of
mention. the Nellie Shea group. Here
the assessment work for the present

of 200 feet.
"ore Everywhere"
1t may perhaps be a chestnut to
repeat that Tintic's motto is: "Ore

not been rewarded, but their neighbors'
success has kept them trying. aud in
most cases they eventually strike 70.
The writer ventures to predict that the
coming year, 1909. will be the most
eventful year of Tintic's many eventfuI
years. and that unless something IN
toward happens, Tintic will be the most
prosperous mining camp in the state
