nothing as yet startling has been dis

the principal parties interested in the
success of this undertaking.

Of the old Dragon Iron mine and the
ground formerly known as the Martha
Washington. The Iron mine was ac-
quired from the Ritter interests early
in the year, and when the Martha
Washington was acquired the two were
made into one property. The iron ore
mined from the property is almost en-
tirely used by the smelter in the valley
to the west.
Bullock Mine.
1t IS not a very far cry from the
Martha Washington to the Bullock
mines holdings, and here some very in
teresting developments have been
made. Last June this company decid-
ed that, as all leases had expired,
they would take the development of the
mine in their own hands. In most cases
the leasers were successful. Two WINES

Tintic Central "Next."
The Tintic Combination and the Tin

Bullock property, are pushing forwa-
their work at a lively clip. A ". Hol-

public opinion is beginning to veer
around in the other direction. and the
opinion is now that the shaft which is

being sunk for fun, but that the man. |
