TWO VERY GOOD
T|NT|C PROSPECTS

Salt Lake, Aug. 1l.-Therc are two
small trails OF gunpowder at Tintic
leading from far separated spots to
one tremendous magazine OF excite
ment, which. when fired by the match
OF fact, VIII cause an explosion des-
tined to blow Tintlc and the Tintic
stocks back safely and surely once
more into the first place with the pub
lic- On the Colorado and on the Iron
Blossom there are efforts being placed
on what every one terms the most i'm
portant work since the find of the
famous Colorado ore body
1t will be recalled that the Iron
Blossom management has never en-
countered silver and lead ores south
OF certain point known TO tho world
as the east and 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 Wednesday that
the Iron Blossom has found silver and
lead ore from the No. shaft, the
shaft upon which rests the RESPONSE
bility of finding tho continuation to
the south of the Sllver-lead rock.
j. William Knight was reached over
the telephone yesterday afternoon
and informed of this report Mr.
knight stated that he had not heard
yesterday from the Iron Blossm man
aGement, but the day before the man
agement had informed him that on
the 500-foot level there were from 8 to
4 feet of good silver-lead rock. and
the indications at that time were IA
south, There never has been much OF
this class of ore found that far south
in the Iron Blossom. The No. shaft
disclosed some such ore some time
ago on the 400 level, but it lacked the
good points that the 500 discovery
now has.
1t was rumored here on Tuesday
500-foot level had encountered some
that the Colorado drift east on the
orc. When asked about this Mr..
knight said that he had heard moth
Ing about 1t. and should it prove true
he undoubtedly will be quickly in
formed when there was enough
known to allow some definite opinion
to be drawn in regard thereto
These two points, then, promise to
hold the attention OF the public from
now on. The trail, It is true, as yet is
faint from the 500 level of the Colo.
RADIO. but the management knows
what 1t is doing There have been
some nightly attractive indications
10 cause this cast drift 10 be driven,
and should there really be ore In that
part of the mine. II Will not doubt
mean another Colorado, an entirely
new birth But the Iron Blossom in
dications are more positive There is
no need to emphasize the Importance
of finding the continuation TO the
south OF the silverlead values char
acteristic Of the Colorado ore body
The point of present Importance is
between 400 and 500 feet south of the
north end lines of the property. and
between the No and the No.
or south shaft there are several thou
sand feet OF untouched territory
that affords a most fascinating area
for exploration.
1t would take just such strike Of
importance In either Of these mines
to restore the prestige of the Tintics
on the local exchange. and none will
be found who will doubt that as long
as there is ore-bear.ng lime left un-
touched that there Is on both these
Knight propositions, there Is abund-
ant proof that either or both have the
power to come back"
