CRYSTAL Cave in Mckinley.

Last Monday, in the Mckinley
tennial- Eureka, a very important find
was made. which, in this district, is
always taken as a sure sign oil the
presence of an ore body. While drift
ing in the north side of the SHAFT.
which is down depth of 500 feet, the
I workmen broke into cave. This cave.
like most of such caves in the district,
was filled with very beautiful speci-
mems of crystals. but Superintendent
Henry Matsch is highly elated over the
happening and assured the writer THAI
he is more than certain now tha- tie
mine will turn out to he a winner. The
stock is owned mostly by local people,
and should a strike be made here II
viii certainly reward them for years
and years of work and self-sacrihce. il

value of 10 cents per share. The COM

The Manhatta Group.
Close on the end lines of the Bullion
Beck and Gimini mines, II the nortn-
west, is the old Manhatta mot Manhat-
tam group, consisting OF the Manhatta,
Revenue and Outcast patented claims,
recently taken in by one of the Snyder
syndicates of Salt Lake City. The sur
face indications on this group arr hell
to be equally as favorable rs any show
ing heretofore found On any of the big
mines of the west zone. AND it is now
the purpose of the leSseeS TO determine
whether another big mine cannot be
developed along the north trend of tie
mother zone of Tintic. A substa ntiai
shaft is going down in d splendid blow
out of iron and quartz, and drifting will
commence as soon as Indications wa--
rant striking out for the ore bcdies
which are confidently believed to run
through the Manhatta ground. w NJ.
Nesbit, one of Tintic's we'll known min
ing men. is in charge of -he work, ana
before long ne promises to add one
more to the list of Tintic shippers.
Gemini Rich in Ore.
Probably the richest ore that is being
taken from the mines of Tintic is at
present being extracted from the Gem
mi mine. Just what values ere beng
obtained cannot be discovered. This
ore is coming from the deepest levels
of this wonderful old bonanza. A mag
nificent system of pumps has been In
stalled during the past year and also o.
system of electric hoists for the pur-
y
lowest levels to the 1,6O0 winze. This
system was installed by F. B. Sullivan
and it is in the most perfect working
order

North From Tintic.
Away to the north from Tintic, start
ing at Homansville, there is a range,
trending straight to the north. which
eventually looses itself in Utah lake.
This part of the district has I'm ire
past received very little attention from
the press of the state. For a distance
Of about eight miles from HOmansvlIie
there are studded along the range
about ten prospects of more or less
and the two immense IRON
dykes are opened up every hundred
feet
Why this part of the country has
never been in the limelight is not be-
cause the ground is not valuable AMI |
worthless, nor well situated, but be-
cause the prospecting done IN that p,r-
ticular vicinity has been of a mere
haphazard kind. But where in The |
range prospecting has been done by in |
1ividuals this hardly holds good as the |
men who are doing their work ince- /
pendently have done well their snar- |
according to the extent of their |
finances 1t is only with themra matter /
Of insufficient funds, and not the lack
)f Willingness to develop their ground |
