Eureka. July 24.-Steel galena ore
running as high as 70 per cent was en-
countered In the shaft of the East Tin
tic Consolidated this week. The ore
was cut in the west end of the shaft al
depth OF 1876 feet, and while it is tho
same kind as that encountered above,
at depth of l25 feet, ii is fully 10
feet west OF any of the ore opened up
previously. The company has consid-
cradle ore developed upon the l25-foot
level. and 1t was only recently that
ii was decided to drop the shaft down
100 feet deeper. 1t was while doing
the work of sinking that this recent
and what is apparently an entirely
new. ore body was encountered. Mr..
Kellogg the manager, says that the
shaft will be dropped down to the 225
level before an effort will be made
In the East Tintic Development COM
pany there is undoubtedly the making
Of one OF the best mines i'll that sec
ton of the district.
The North Gift Mining company Is
preparing to ship its ore to the new To-
cal smeter. according TO Frank
Thornberg who states that the
company will put force Of
miners at work in the near flu
tuic, and that he will be able to take
out about four carloads of ore for
shipment every month
The station on the $50 level at the
Sioux is about cut, and as soon as the
station is completed the management
will rush the work in the drift upon the
400 level. and by the middle of next
month this drift ought to be i'm the ore,
after which >hipments from the mine
to the smelter will be regular Ii has
been stated previously that the shaft
would be put down deeper. but this will
not be done, for the present at least.
Duncan and Moore, who have a con-
tract for sinking the shaft on the Tintic
Central ground began operations Mon
day last. and n large stock of supplies
was hauled to the property. No time
will be lost in dropping the shaft down
to the first level. when 1t will be neces-
sary to let another contract. The Tin
tic Central people believe, as do 9TH
ers of the district who are not in any
way Interested in 1t. that the ground is
in line with the Colorado and Sioux
Cons ore body.
Preparations are now being made to
sink II winze in the tunnel which was
years ago on the property OF the Swan
sea extension near silver City, and
north of and adjoining the old Swansea.
Thomas MarioneauX OF Salt Lake and
j. II. Vance of Eureka made trip to
the ground Tuesday. They say that 100
feet of sinking should be sufficient to
cut the ore.
Reports from the Scranton mine in
North Tintic say that its force FOR
some time past has been doing develop
ment work and as a consequence the
property has not been represented IN
the column of Tintic shippers during
the past month. Shipment will start
again within week or two. 1t IS
necessary to haul the Scranton ore by
team to Fairfield, a distance of about
six miles. The ore shipments of Tintlc
