MIGHTY IMPORTANT
WORK BEING DONE
Iron Blossom Evidently on the
Point of Making Strike of
Significance.

There are two small trails OF gunpow
der at Tintic leading from far separated
spots to one tremendous magazine OF ex
element and interest. which, when fired
by the match OF fact. VIII cause an eN'
plosion destined TO blow Tintic and the
TiDtic stocks back safely and surely once
more into the first place with the puoNc
On the Colorsro and on the Iron Blossom
there are efforts being placed on Whai
everyone terms the most important work
since the find OF the famous Colorado ore
body.
1t will be recalled that the Iron Bios
som management has never encountered
silver and lead ores south OF certain
west break or fault The far south SHAFT
is in splendid ore, but the rock carries
gold and copper mainly, instead OF silver
and lead. 1t was reported locally on Wed,
nesday that the Iron Blossom has found
silver and lead ore from the No. 3 shaIl.
the shaft upon which rests the RESPONSE
b!lity of finding the continuation TO the
south oil the sllver-lead rock.
j, William knight reached over
the telephone yesterday afternoon by The
Tribune and informed OF this report. Mr..
Knight stated that he had not heard yes
terday from the Iron Blossom manage
ment, but the day before the manage
ment had informed him that on the 800
level there were from to feet
of good silver-lead rock, and the indica-
tions at that time were favorable for a
continuation to the south. There never
has been much OF this class OF ore found
that far south In the Iron Blossom. The
No. shaft work disclosed some such ore
some time ago on the 400 level. but 1t
lacked the good points that the 500 dis
coyery now has.
1t was rumored here on Tuesday that
the Colorado drift east on the oOO-toot
level had encountered some ore. When
asked about this. Mr.. Knight said that
he had heard nothing about II, and should
1t prove true he undoubtedly would be
informed quickly when there was enough
known to allow some definite opinion 10
be drawn In regard thereto.
These two points, then. promise to hold
the attention OF the public from now on.
The trail. 1t is true, as yet is falnt from
the 500 level OF the Colorado. but the
management knows what II Is doing.
There must have been some mighty at
tractiVe indications TO cause this east
drift TO be driven, and should there really
be ore in that part Of the nine, 1t will
no doubt mean another Colorado, an en-
tirely new birth. But the Iron Blossom
indications are more positive. There is
no need 10 emphasize the Importance or
finding the continuation TO the south of
the silver-lead values characteristic OF
the Colorado ore body The point OF pres
ent importance is between 400 and 500
feet south OF the north end lines OF the
No. 1 or south shaft there are several
thousand feet OF untouched territory
which affords a most fascinating area for
exploration
portance in either Of these mines TO re-
store the prestige OF the Tintics on the
local exchange. and none VIII be found
who Will doubt that as long us there Is
the ore-bearing lime left untouched that
there is on both these Knight PROPOSE
tions, there Is abundant reason to feel
that either or both have the power TO
''come back
