haying its workings down to a depth
OF over 1000 feet The new cables
for Tho Centennial Eureka mine have
arrived and been taken up to the mine.
These cables are 5000 feet in length
and 60 would be judged from this that
q is the intention of this property 90

management that Ii IS the intention OK
The company to continue sinking uuul
the 5000 level ~ reached, The now
OF water already encountered does not
amount to more than 1000 gallons a
day. and q large tank 10 hold this wa
ter win be placed ON the 1000 level ana
hoisted az Intervals by the cage This
now may. however. be greatly increased
as greater depth is obtained, as the flow
has already increased somewhat since

RegardinE the Centennial Eureka.
TintiC's great bonanza. IL might be OF
interest to state that the property
closed the year just past with an OUT
put OF 112O0O tons Of ore. To carry
this great tonnage to its smelling plant
required 2250 cars This output came
near being as heavy as the previous
year 1907. and would have been heavier
10 It had not been for the closing down
Of the United states Shelter at Bling
ham Junction for a time last year. The
ore sent cut during 1908 was equally as
good in values as HE product Of the
year previous says Supt Robert Brown.
There is now more ore reserved In the
mine underground than at any time I'm
the history or the property.
SINKING on THE MKINLEY.
Sinking is again IN progress at the
Mckinley The work f. being carried
on IN the bottom OF the cave which was
broken into several weeks ago. a
winze Is being sunk, which viii prob
ably be put down a depth Of from Is
to 100 feet. and as the showing at this
time Is highly encouraging Il would not
be- surprising II the Mckinley struck
ore as soon as greater depth is at
tanned.
when G. =. Loose was In Tintic the
other day he gave out the information
that the Grand Central would I'm an
probability be running again this
month, at least he hoped to be ship
ping ore from the mine shortly after
Feb. J. The Grand Central and Vic
toria are still waiting for the Knight
smelter TO give them notice 20 COM
mcoce the shipment Of ore to that plant,
and these mines do not propose TO com
mence work until It is assured that the
smefer is able 10 take care Of the ore
which they are capable Of producing.
a few months ago these mines started
shipping TO the local smelter and a
few weeks later were forced 10 stop
because Of necessary changes at the
smeter. This will not occur again
and when the smelter starts taking ore
from these properties the Grand Cen
trail and Victoria win again take their
places in the dividend column.
