Eureka, March 27.--Thc small force
which supt, G. c. Griggs of the May
Day put to work at that property last
week, has placed the mine in CON
dition for the shipment OF ore next
week, IL the management decides upon
such course. Officials here, however,
do not care to say positively that such
will be the ease, but there Is reason to
believe that the old force viii be put
back to work and that breaking OF ore
VIII commence again April /.
According to the statement of Man
ager a. N Holloway of the Sioux
Consolidated, there Is apparently no
truth IN the rumurs that Jesse knight
In trying to secure control of that
property. The advance in the price OF
sioux stock this week is perhaps the
result of improved conditions at the
property. IL may be true that Mr..
Knight is after the Victor and Carisa.
as there has been an impression abroad
for some time among mining men who
are wen informed that the Provo man
would eventually land" these mines.
If this should come TO pass, Mr.. Knight
would then have an unbroken strip Of
mineral ground extending from his
East Tintic mines, the Colorado and
Beck Tunnel, clear around to the new
smelter site near Silver City.
Shipments of ore from the district
for the past week amounted to 40 car
loads the shippers being as follows:
Centennial Eureka, AZ; Eureka Hill, g,
and Bullion Beck /.
The shaft at the Crown Point has at
tanned a depth of $50 feet. a station
has been cut at the 800 level. But be-
fore drifting it has been concluded to
sink to the 400 level.
AT the Iron BLOSSOM mine a drift
has been started from the 400 foot level,
The drift runs toward the east. At
the Beck Tunnel the shaft Is nearing
the coo foot level and is still going
down. Otherwise there is no work
going on at the Beck Tunnel property
at present.
There is small force of men at
work at the Gift Mining companys
property near Diamond, in the south
ern part of the district. At IL depth
OF 150 feet IL splendid showing OF ore
has been exposed, and nearly two car
loads have been mined and awaits
shipment.
Matsch and Griffith, who have a lease
at the old Utah mine. have over 100
tons of ore ready for shipment Mr..
Matsch states that their lease is inn
proving right along.
IL seems that everything is in pretty
fair shape at the Tetro mine and thar
development work win be taken up
again at an early date. II is UNDER
stood that practically all of the com
pany's Indebtedness his been wiped out
and that the next assessment. which is
forthcoming, VIII give the company a
nice sum with which to carry on the
work of further development. The
Tetro mine was In splendid condition
last fall when its secretary skipped"
out and left it's affairs in bad shape,
after which II was necessary to close
the property down.
Duncan MacVichie was out from
Salt Lake Tuesday and In company
with William Owens, superintendent of
the property, visited the Eagle and
Blue Bell mine. The Eagle has been
closed down for some time. but since
the visit OF Mr.. MacYlchie, a report
has been in circulation that prepara-
lions arc under way for a resumption
OF work at this former shipper. Some
months ago the American Mines syn
dictate, in running a drift from the
Little Chief workings over the Granite
claim, on which It has bond and lease,
opened up some good ore In Eagle and
Blue Bell ground. This ore is in new
territory, and considerable distance
from the Eagle and Blue Bell work.
ings: consequently II has been decided
by the Eagle and Blue Bell company
TO develop this new strike and ascertain
IL possible its extent. The indications
are at present that II IL an ore body
of great proportions, and II may be that
the company will decide TO develop II
before taking up work where IL was
left of last summer.
