( But the blame for the backwardness OF
the neighborhood can easily be placed
| on those small companies that are dill
gently getting the publics money .or
| their treasury stock and doing very lit
/ tie with that money and doing Il very
well. This course of action, instead OF
attracting capital and placing this neck
of the woods in the eyes OF the puciic
| i'm a favorable light, has served to make
the people look askance and with Sus-
picion upon any proposition that has TO
do with the place. The ground, now
ever. does not deserve this fate. For
the entire distance of eight miles from
north to south two splendid veins CT
iron-stained and highly mineraiized
matter can be traced entirely along the
west side of the range. Those two
veins are about 200 feet apart, and the
western vein is the largest and thought
more of by mining men than II Is pa
rallel nelghbor to the east This west
vein is about forty-five feet across,
and the groupings are strongly impreg-
mated with mineral. On some of the
iron groupings of this vein several good
assays have been obtained. On the
east vein this has also been the case
Tintic Silver.
The most northerly property on the
range is the Tintic Silver, the bulk of
whose ground stretches over on the
east side of the range. This ground
was Incorporated during the past year
and the stock listed on the Salt Lake
exchange. Here a shaft has been sunk
to a depth of about 100 feet and a good
deal of tunneling has also been done
at other points on the company's hold
ings. The vein from the Gold Blossom

and with the development work done
in a good and workmanlike name.
there should be no difficulty on the
part of the owners in making the prop
erty show up we'll and in the long run
give the investors in the stock proper
run for their money.
Nichols
West of the Tintic Silver, and also
north of the Gold Blossom is the Mich
olls-Tintic group, owned principally by
the Nichols brothers OF Salt Lake
City. There are twelve or thirteen
claims in this group. and in a tunnel
which is in about 800 feet small string
ers of lead ore have been cut. Had this
tunnel been started 200 feet further
west, these stringers would probably
have been pay streaks. as the noun
tainside is very steep and a vast depth
could have been obtained. There is no
doubt, however. that this property is
extremely well situated and will even
tually make a mine.
Gold Blossom.
The work done on the Gold Blossom
consists chiefly of shaft work, done
mostly on the top of the mountain. |
Recently the management run a tunnel
in from the west side of the mountain
distance of about 800 feet In this |
tunnel several small veins have been
cut. and this is a good enough indica- |
ton of the presence of larger ore bodies /
at greater depth. The ore encoun- I
tered in these stringers carried good |
values in lead, and where small pockets /
were tapped the ore found in them was 1
OF much better grade. As far back as 1
in 1888 some very fine ore was shipped |
from this ground, and there have been |
some small shipments made more re-
Gently. Here as on the properties above
mentioned a greater depth must be OBJ
tanned in order that the ground can be
shown up in its proper light and the /
mine could be splendidly opened up and
the vein tapped at a depth of 1000 feet
by driving tunnel from a point fur
Their down the mountain side, which is
very steep at this place. There are five
good claims belonging to this property.
