4 "trip of INSPECTION Of the mine during
the Spast week, and looked over the
4 work which has recently been done,
and hey are highly encoura ged with
the showing. They found some nice
silver lead ore uncovered which has u.s.
sayed 498per cent lead and seven ounces

| fec more work will cut the vein from
which some good grade ore was shipped
TO market several years ago. The ore
mentioned above was secured from a
drift which has been pushed out from
the bottom OF an So-foot incline shaft
on the ground. and the tunnels in which
the contract work is nov going on is
headed for this vein which will be cut
some little distance from the point from
which the samples We're taken. The
diamond Queen has the extension Of
the old Susan vein. which produced
conside rable of rich ore In the early
days of the district
The Centennial Eurekas as is we'll
KNOWN Is now being worked success
L iillys down to a depth of 2, 600 feet. and
y hat the property is getting ready to
take up work again below this level, or
below the q. Water line, y there can Be
no doubt. On the 200 level wa terShas
Increased In flow to such an extent that
u is the intention of the company. so
y Is earned to put ina pumping plant
with acapacity Of not less than i 900
gallons q lt' per minute, and his ca i, mean
but one thing that the officials Of the

orig inal n plans of some of the officers
OF going after the ore bodies which lii,-

"A. tunnel VIII ITO doubt be driven from
q point below the Bullion BECK mine,
this tunnel to- make connect ton with
: the centennial Eureka shaft at a point
about 900 feet below the surface The
purpose for this is to save the expense
of lifting the water the 500 additional
feet to the surface of thermal n working
shaft, The tunnel Will also be used in
bringing some. IL not all, of the ore tom
mage from the mine. In, the latter in

ORE FROM cpEMIN al Eli
q Ore of a splendid grade is being
takensfrom the 1900 level in the Gem
mi also from the !, 800 level. The flow
of water in the mine at present fs
about $40 gallons per minute, and al
though It has Increased some of late,
the company is experiencing no diff
ftculty whatever in handling it
he tier has been pumped out of
the Swansea mine at Silver City for
the first! time In many years, and is
stored IN the big concrete reservoir
near by for use at the Tintic smelling
plant. The capacity of the reservoir is
:, ooQ, 900 gallons, and half OF. this a amount
Of W ater3 was taken from the Swansea
shaft before the mine was ( dry, A
week ago a. contract was let to sink the
shaft 200 feet deeper than the present
workings, which are down now S65 feet,
and this work Is now going on
Stopping of ore is now under. way on
both the 1000 and 2,1O0 levels In. the
Grands Central, to he west of the shaft.
a portion Of the ore from the mine IS
coming from the new strike, and whiIe /
the value of tits not made known. 1T no \
doubt runs well in copper and gold. It
rs learned from a quite reliable source 4
That the Grand Central and Victoria
VIII soon commence the shipment of ore
to the American Smelling s. Refining
company's smelter. which means that
the "a contract with the Tintic smelter has
pee IN terminated for some reason.
IRON KING TUNNEL.
The big tunnel (which Is being driver
toward the shaft Of the Iron King.
property in the eastern section OF
the district. is now IN the hill dis
lance of 1900 feet, and excellent
progress is being made with the work
which Is being handled by contract.
In the shaft the comEans is doing
good work IN prospecting the 400 and J.
500 levels, upon which drifts are be-
Ing pushed out to the south of the
shaft. There has been a report that
ore has been encountered in the mine.
This report cannot#be verified byany
OF the employees. II F ID
ut Is quite probable now that the
development of the Eureka CITY Min
Ing company's ground will be carried
on at derth of /, 200 feet from the
surface through the shaft 8of the
Chief Consolidated. The shaft is all
ready down to a depth of /, $40 feet
and 1T Is the opinion of the manage
3ment that the shaft can be developed
another 100 feet without encountering
water to cause much trouble Regard
ing the affairs Of the new Eureka
City Mining company, it is understood
that so far as they relate to the all
lotment of stock to townsite property
owners, they will soon be closed IN
and the office closed here Mineral
rights have already been secureI to
the most desirable portions Of the
townsite. but the proposition will still
open. for a few days to all owners
OF townsite property to transfer thes:
mineral or underground rights for
shares in the new company.
DIsMANTLING MILL.
The big 100 stamp concentrating
min of the Eureka Hill Mining com.
LanS, on the hill to the south OF
town, Is to be sold to the highest
bidder. The last time the mill was run
was in 1904, when it was shut down
because of the marked reductions ins
freight and smelter charges on low
grade ores. This mill which was com
,pleted In 1893, was reputed to be the
largest pan mill inSthe world and cost
close to- halfssa million dollars. The
machinery. material. etc. will be dis
mounted and sold either in sections or
in entirety.
WILL START WORK On LINDEN.
