eral of the properties in the extreme
eastern part OF the district. among
them the Tintic Standard, East Ttntic
Development company's ground. and
the Eureka Lilly, and made trip ol
inspection to the Sioux, Iron Blossom,
Beck Tunnel and the Uncle Sam
mines. Mr. Weber states that tho
vein In the Tintic Standard has widen
ed out with paying ore from a few
inches to full face, and 1t is his opin
Ion that this property Will become
winner in a short time. The East
Tintlc Development company has al
ready a good mine, but depth is yet
needed The Iron Blossom. Sioux and
| Colorado are becoming more wonder
ful every day, and IL is thought that
! the chances OF tho Beck Tunnel find
| Ing the orc on the LOO level In the
new shaft are very encouraging. in
fact they arc much better than at any
time since work WAS started at this
depth. Taking indications as they
now exist in the Colorado, Sioux and
Iron Blossom, Mr.. Weber said that 1t
was almost a "cinch' now that the
great ore body extends unbroken
through these three properties and in
TO the one that adjoins on the south.
There vii be more bonanzaS opened
up In the district before the year is

Copper Furnace Ready.
The three lead furnaces at the Tin
tic smelter are handling about $50
tons Of ore and fluX daily, which is
somewhat above the normal capacity
OF three furnaces OF this kind This is
speaking in good terms for the plant.
The construction work at the smelter
is about finished. The constructing Of
d crushing plant bins. etc. for hand
ling the lime rock used In fiuXing has
had tendency to delay the placing
OF the copper furnace in commission,
otherwise 1t would have been started
before now. The furnace is all ready
and can be blown In at any time.

IT is learned from good source that
the mine will continue the payment of
the cents per share each month, and
that no effort Will be made TO raise it
back to cents. The mine is in fine
shape, and there is more than enough
ore in sight in the property TO insure
the payment Of the cent dividend for
IL months 10 come. With the dlstribu-
tion this month the Sioux will have
paid as cents per share in dividends.
