The Eagle and Blue Bell
The development work now in pro.
gress at the Eagle and Blue Bell mine
is showing results very satisfactory
to the management. New ground has

foot levels. The machinery ordered for
tho further development Of the ground
has arrived and is being taken 10 the
mine for installation. When this is in
place the sinking Of the shaft to ihc
1000 level will be rushed. An engine
will be installed on the 1000 level to
handle the ore from the 100 and TO
assist IN the sinking operations. The
ore being taken out at the present time
is high grade product. and it is con
sidered probable that the Eagle may
soon be classcd as one of the leading
producers of the district
The old Scotia mine, in West Tlutic,
has again taken It's place among The
shippers, and the quality of orc taken
from the deeper workings goes TO show
that the mountains 10 the west very

In quiet but energetic way Super
inteudent Elmer Duncan is developing
the Bullock mine, near Silver City.
From the 2l0 level two drifts are be
ing run to the Eorth. one following the
Bullock vein and the other the Aspen
wall vein. In each of these drifts
strlngerS of ore have been encountered
at intervals, and the supposition is that
big body of ore will be found in the

wluze. which was sunk at point about
ZOO feet from the mouth of the main
tunnel, From the development work
now going on in this and other of the
old producers it has been demonstrated
that the wealth of the Tintic district
is by no means confined TO the eastern
section, but that ores of good quality
arc 10 be found in every other direc-
ton.
