ACTIVITY All GOLD SPRINGS.
In IRON county, the principal ac-
tiyity has been centered at Gold
Springs where the Jennie Gold Min
ing company is an important FACTOR
in the development OF the resources
of that region. This corporation is
operating a mill with capacity for the
treatment of 100 tons Of ore DAY
and is shaping its affairs for money
making career. Gold Springs, unlike
Mercur, IS not, strictly speaking, a
gold camp; but the ores produced
there all carry some silver. 1t is in
this camp that the Short and Elliot
interests are located while at State
line, some six or eight miles away,
about ali the work performed was
that required to keep titles valid for
another year.
In the Gold Mountain district, the
Annie Laurie Mining company has
managed to keep Its mill going, but
has not made profits sufficient to
justify return to the dividend coll
umn AS the stock Of this corporation
is held almost entirely in the east,
little is known about the progress be-
ing made by this corporation. a
number of other mines have been
undergoing development in small
way, but in none Of them have been
reported anything in the way of sem
sational strikes. The property of the
Sewer Consolidated. wrecked by in
experienced management. has been
taken over by creditors and steps
have been taken to put it back on a
substantial basis again.

UNCLE SAM CONSOLIDATED.
notwithstanding that the operations
of the Uncle Sam Consolidated Mining
company were very seriously interrupt
cd during the year, dividends to the
amount Of 100000 were disbursed, maxi
ing the grand total to date, OF 5000, 600.
With the exception of few men kept
engaged in doing development work,
the mine was shut down from Nov. 10,
1907. to June / OF this year, owing TO
the idleness during that period of the
sme!ter to which Uncle Sam ores had
been contracted. But it was only one
OF the several mines affected by the
litigation resulting adversely to the
smelling plants located at Bingham
Junction after n hard fight with the
rural interests which claimed damage
from fumes.
The Uncle Sam Consolidated Mining
company was organized July ], 1901,
when it took over the Uncle SAM Hum
bug, Cora, Inez, Humbug No. ., Cyrus
oliver Fraction, and 100000 shares. or
four-fifths of the capitalization of the
Richmond- Anaconda Mining company,
the property of the latter consisting of
three claims lying just west of and adj
iacent to the Humbug. In June. 1907.
the shareholders of the Uncle Sam
Consolidated contaminated deal
whereby the Cora, Inez and Humhug
No. were sold, together with the I'M
Gle Sam mill, to the May Day Mining
company, the Uncle Sam company re-
ceiving in consideration 100000 shares,
or onc-half of the capital stock of the
last named corporation. The Uncle sam
company, however, retained the Hum
bug and Cyrus oliver claims and the
Richmond Anaconda stock.
The Uncle Sam company has been

and 1t was this trouble Which made
1t impossible for tho local mines to
ship their ore. Some of the Tintic
mines went right along with develop
ment work and succeeded in opening
up q great deal of new ore during the
period that the smclters were idle. The
heaviest producer in the district, the
famous old Centennial Eureka mine,
now owned by the United States Min
ing company, was not forced to cease
shipping, the mines output having
been diverted to the United States COM
panys California smelter
There are many reasons why tho
year 1905 must be considered the most
eventful and the most important year
in the history OF Tintic. Many new
mines have been added to the districts
already large list; many new cofnpa-
MES have been formed for the develop
ment of most promising properties:
outside capital Is being attracted hera
MS it never was before; new mines nave
taken their places among the DIVIDEND
payers, and a great independent smelt-
er has been constructed, thus placing
the mines of this district in a posi-
ton where they will BIO no longer at
the mercy Of the smelter trust. NOT
only this, but a railroad has been bulat
from one end of the district to tho
other, linking the mines with the new
smelter, and making it possible for
them to place their ore upon the cars
Of the Denver Sc Rio Grande and San
Pedro railways for shipment to out
side points without a haul by wagon.
In addition to this, Tintic Is to have q
$4,000 custom sampling mill, this plant
now being well along toward compile
ton.
when these as we'll as many other
improvements are taken into consider
alton, it can readily be seen that TIL
tic has made wonderful strides forward
and the now year has much in store
for the operators of this section.
THE TINTIC SIELTER.
The construction of theTintic smelter
marked the beginning of a new era Of
prosperity for the entire district. No
sooner had Uncle Jesse" knight an
nounced his intention OF putting up an
Independent smelter than the camps OF
Tintic began to take on new life. Min
ing men have for years realized that
Tintic was an ideal location for smelt-
ers; they also realized that the smclt-
ers were not giving the mines square
deal: but until Mr.. knight entered the
field there was no one with sufficient
financial backing and courage to un-
dertake the erection of an independ-
ent smelling plant Even Mr., knight
builded better than he knew. When
he first started out to construct a
smelter he had in mind small plant,
one which would be able to take care

The development Of this new stretch of
country, which adjoins the company's
holdings upon the west, is being car
ried on through the Centennial Eureka
workings and also through a tunnel
which is located upon one of Capt
Deprezin's claims.

Notwithstanding that a large number
of the mines were closed down during
the early part OF the year, the output
Of the district for the past twelve
months will compare very favofapiy
with that Of the year previous. AS
the readers of the News" will recall,
the smelters IN the Salt Lake valley
were unable to accept ore during the
early part of the year because OF their
clash with the agricultural interests

I'LL 81 ~
Early in the present year the Swan
sea- and the South Swansea properties
We're consolidated, Jesse Knight secur-
ing the controlling interest in the new
company. A monster electric pump
was then Installed upon the 700 level OF
the mine. and this pump is now lifting
the water to the surface, the water be-
ing used for the operation OF the new
Tintic smelter which is located but a
short distance from the mine. William
Mathews. Il we'll known mining super
intendent, was placed in charge Of the
. Swansea consolidated property and
under his direction some important OK
ploration work Is now being done. Mr.
Mathews started u drift out into new
territory to the south of tho shaft upon
the 700 level and succeeded in opening
up body of splendid ore. Being in
virgin ground, this strike Is liable to be
an important one for the mine Another
drift is following a stringer OF ore to
the north of the shaft upon the same
level and at this writing the ore has
also widened out until it has all the
appearances OF being good strike.
To the north of the Swansea the

Roadway has been made In the mine,
operated under the management of
Don Mcguire who expects to have
them upon steady producing basis
early next year. These mines are con-
trolled by Mr.. Mcguire and Iowa as
sociates. who have been prosecuting
an aggressive campaign for several
years. Power facilities and an aerial
tramway were among the improve
ments made for the benefit OF
the Santa Maria and Napoleon
NIahegra mines this year. Around
Brigham City and Logan some min
ing has been done but nothing on
what might be considered to be broad
scale.
IN THE OIL FIELDS.
In the development of the sew
eral oil fields of the state another
resourceful industry is being opened
up. Washington and San Juan coun-
ties have taken the lead In this re-
spect and in both these common
wcalths 1t has been practically de-
monstrated that oil exists in COM
mercial quantity. IT has taken Salt
Lake capital to find this out and 1t
is reasonably 'certain that the time

other two lead furnaces and the copper
furnace will be running just as success
fully.
VARIETY OF ORE PRODUCED.
Tintic mines produce a great variety
of ore, everything, in fact, that is need
cd by a modern smelter Is near nj
hand. The limo rock which Is now
being used at the local plant Is taken
from Mr. knights own ground, the
quarry being less than a mile from the
sInelter, and is delivered for less than
50 cents per ton, while the iron ores are
landed at the snlelter for about one
half that amount. Coal is perhaps
the only material that the Tintic smelt-
or Is not getting at less expense than
the other smelters Of the state, and by
using electric power wherever possible,
the coal question Is not giving the COM
pany any serious ground for apprehen-
sion. Tho Tintic smelter has passed
the experimental stage and is now one
Of the important factors In tho smelt-
ing industry of Utah.
The eastern section of the Tinttc dis
trict has been in the lime light ever
since the discovery Of the Colorado and
Beck Tunnel mines and the more re-
cent discoveries in the Sioux Consolid-
ated and Iron Blossom properties was
the means OF greatly stimulating in
terest in that portion Of the district
which lies to the cast of Godiya noun
tain, where O. score or more of new
companies are now operating.
CoLoRADo's RECORD.
Tho Colorado mine has record OF
over sl,000000 in dividends In less than
two years and well known mining men
who are able to pass upon matters OF
this kind say that there is no less than
sl0,000,00G worth OF ore exposed in the
underground workings of the mine. Ac-
cordirg to figures submitted by General
Superintendent John Roundy of the
Knight mines tho Colorado company
removed over s1000,00o worth of ore
without taking out more than a couple
of carloads of waste.
THE SIOUX CONSOLIDATED.
The Sioux Consolidated. the baby boz
nanza of Tintic, recently opened up the
same ore body which has made the

this mine than where it has been OPEN.
ed up in the Colorado. The Sioux paid
its third dividend this month and will
be one of the heaviest dividend pay
ers of the district in the future. The
mine is now shipping nearly two car
loads of rich slver-lead ore daily and
only q few days ago a carload was sold
in the Salt Lake market which brought
the company no less than $4,000. The
property is equipped With good ma
chinery; it is located upon the line OF
