the future Of this camp is far from
| discOuraging
The leasers in the old properties are
more than making bread money. At
the Cllft property Judge Frank Thorn
berg Is taking out a high class OF lead
ore and Is making monthly shipments
| The property is a valuable one and in
short time will make great returns

AZ the Anna Rich property. also To-
Gated IN the south end OF the district,
| work has been resumed and CON
tract has been let to sink the shaft to
the lOO-foot level, which when reached
drifting viii be commenced to tap the
VEN known TO contain ore in that To-
chlliy work upon the property win be
kept up indefinitely.
AS the shipments OF ore did not meet
the expenses OF operating the Beck
Tunnel mine. IL has been deemed adj
Nlsable 10 close II down and the miners
have been laid on. For some time past
the property has been making ship
ments from the old workings but pros
pecting for new ore bodies have eaten
up the surplus, and now assessments
VIII be In order TO pay the indebted
ness OF the company while carrying on
operations.
Tintlc Humboldt property is rapidly
pushing To the front as a coming pro-
Queer under the capable management
OF John w. Taylor The drift is being
run from the 100-foot level to connect
with the vein in which they expect TO
encounter the ore body. The indications
as FAR as shown are very favorable OF
uncovering fine body of ore.
Arrangements are now in progress TO
operate the Mediation group OF claims
located in east Tintic There has been
a large amount OF development work
ON the ground In the past few years
and I'm the north end of the property
good class OF ore has been encountered,
which would pay to ship to the smelt-
crs. Being neighbor of the Carisa
mine on the west and adjoining the
Victor on the north, favorable results
should be shown by careful manage
ment In development work.
The Iron Hat company, which is the
owner OF several valuable claims. To-
Gated in the east end of the district,
has recently acquired possession OF the
holdings Of the Three Metal Mining
company's claims adjoining its ground
and patent has been applied for on
all OF the claims. Work will now be
resumed on the Iron Hat claims, and
the mining men. who are well versed
In the geological lay OF the east end
are all OF the opinion that beneath the
heavy iron deposits lies uncovered
riches in gold, silver and lead and this
theory has been proven by nearly all
the mines being operated by parties
operating in east Tlntic.
Prof. Weber was IN Eureka this week
and is highly elated with the showing
OF the Uncle Joe property. which he II
operating near Goshen. ogden and
salt Lake mining men have taken hold
Of the property and propose to make
It producer. churn drill has been

has been driven IN one spot and anoth-
or drlven down a distance OF over 100
feet.
The Dragon Iron mine at Silver City
is at the present time producing about
200 tons Of ore daily and II Is the in
tention Of the company 20 sink the
shaft 10 the 1,i00-foot level The work
ings have now attained a depth OF 500 |
feet, leaving a balance OF only 500 |
feet TO be accomplished. The sinking |
OF the shaft Will in no way interfere |
with the weekly output of the mine.
The first OF July will see active OPP |
erations resumed at the property OF the |
Crown Point and with proper manage
ment and careful development work |
there Is no reason why a splendid pay
ing proposition should not be made out |
OF the ground owned by the company |
as II Is well located and has all the |
indications OF making a producer.
Work on the lower levels at the |
Gemlni mine will soon be resumed. |
Some time ago the big electric pump |
was broken and IL was necessary 10 |
send back east to have the necessary |
repairs made. which caused a shut |
down In the lower levels OF the mine |
owing to the big influx OF water. Now |
that the new pump is ready to be in |
stalled the Increased output OF the |
mine will be very noticeable.
BY the end OF the week the hoisting |
plant recently ordered by the manage
ment Of the Bradley group OF claims |
in north Tintic win be I'm commission. |
a gallows frame has been erected and |
building erected for machinery which |
will be operated by gasoline power. The |
new hoist will help to a great extent |
In sinking the shaft which is now well |
under way. S. r, Ware. the new sup |
erintendent. Is pushing the work to the |
satisfaction OF the company.
The mining men who have thousands |
OF dollars invested in the mines and |
prospects Of Tintic realize the fact |
that they have got to go to depths to /
unfold to the world the millions now |
lying dormant in the bosom Of mother |
earth. Take for Instance the great |
producer Of millions of dollars-the |
Centennial Eureka mine. From the |
800 level down, every shot uncovers |
thousands OF dollars and now they are |
at work below the 2,o00-foot level and |
the property grows in riches-the same /
Eureka Hin and Bullion Beck, and the |
same Indications are prevalent in the |
east end OF Tintic. Capital is now |
flowing into the district and the era |
OF prosperity is now at hand for de- |
velopinR Tintic properties at 1000 feet |

To use the words OF Supt Charles |
Zabriskie; Things are just humming |

Some OF the finest grade Of ore ever |
uncovered in Tintic Is now being I'M
covered in the workings OF No. /. show
ing samples which will assay as high |
as $500 in gold and 500 ounces In |
silver and that is going some. The
breast OF the ore Is from 10 to 10 feet |
wide from wall TO wall. The mine is /
now producing 20 tons OF ore daily |
which runs over Ss5 a ton net. The rich |
gold ore was discovered on the 50o-foot |
level and is being carefully boarded |
up until a carload can be obtained, |
