Eureka, May a.--Another shipper was
added to the list of Tintic producers
last week. when the Lehi- Tintic sent q
fve-ton shipment to the Tiptic smelteT.
The shipment consisted of concentrates
and crude ore which was hauled by
team from the property In North Tin
tic. 1t was a trial shipment but IT Is
stated by the management that the
property will in all probability % q
regular shipper in the future. The con-
centrates are from the juggling plant
which was put in operation there a
week ago, and the crude ore represented
a lot which was taken from the mine
and will run good values in gold and
silver. The will ship al of
It's crude ore in the future, as 1T Is Int
possible to make anything Ike a decent
saving of the silver values in concen-
lEtration. The Lehi-Tintic ore, Of which
there is about 1000 tons opened up at
this time In the mine, carries aTound ou

The ore is also valuable as a fiuxi1g
product on account OF the iron which 1t
contains. consequently the smelters arc
willing to pay aprernium for It. Where

DEEP WORKINGS.
According to reports which have been
current about camp the last few days
an important strike las been made in
the deep workings OF the Centennial
Eureka mine. Upon the 1900 level OF
this old time bonanza the strike was
made, but the nature of which Is not
known. The station which Is being cut

upon this level. No difficulty Is be.

RAISE FIFTEEN TONS.
Fifteen tons OF ore were raised from
the new ore body at the a Ttntio
Development yesterday n within a
short time a shipment will be ready for
the smelter. Ralph Kellogg, manager
of the property, was in Eureka today.
He asserted that a fine large sample OF
the ore was shipped to Salt Lake CITY
today, consigned to Badger Bros, where
1t will be on exhibition. according to
Mr.. Kellogg, the ore has opened
out into a 5Afoot face that runs from
80 to 20 per cent lead. It was about 81
feet from the shaft iii the north drift
on the 23o-foot level. Although 1t IL
contended that no assay has been made
of the ore. it Is understood that tbs

The shaft is now down 40 feet below
the 230-foot Level and two shifts, witt

so feet further than this point, where
a station will be cut nj a drift sent
in to get the ore found On the level
above. Manager kellogg believes that
by July the owe level will be In ore
and q Large tonnage can then be takeI
out.
Work has been suspended t~ennporariis
at the Bullock, but it is understood
that it is on account of plans thai
