T|NT|C OUTPUT IS
A GENEROUS ONE
Over Four Million Dollars
Worth of Ore Shipped
to July 1.

According to the Eureka Reporter, the
Tintic mines during the first six months
Of 1911 shipped 4074 carlots OF ore to the
smelters. the total being close TO 20S,7oO
tons of ore OF an average value OF $40
per ton This conservative estimate per
ton would place O total value Of S4.-
OT4. 900 on the camps production for the
six months. promising TO surpess nny
previous record tho camp has made In
several years. The Reporter says regard
Ing the camps developments:
At no time in Its history has the future
OF the Victoria mine been half as bright
as it is today, This is the verdict OF OF
opportunity to visit the mine recently:
Manager ], c. Sullivan Is doing but
little talking, but he intimates that the
a few weeks there will be somethlng OF OF
interest TO give out. Mr., Sullivan says
that while preparations are being made
for the sinking OF the main shaft, he IS
anxious TO put a little more work upon
the ore body. which has been opened by
the w!nze from the 1850 level. before

is being hoisted for shipment; Some or
the assays showed sensational values IN
gold. and while the management does not
care to state just what this ore, as brok-
en- down by the two large machines, Is
bringing, 1t Is a splendid shipping
product.
Victoria Gets Copper.
During the past few days copper
values have been coming In and every,
thing indicates that the orc body Will

This This week week the company will be upon
the market with four carloads OF ore

today, and over one half of this ore was
mined from the winze, 1t Is the inten-
tion to put the Victoria shaft down 300
or 400 feet deeper and while mining 20 OF
that sinking Is In progress. there are are
reasons to believe that the recent dis
closures below the 1850 level will result
lin the mine retaining It's present position
In the list OF shippers.
Water in Centennial.
About two weeks ago the flow Of water
on the lowest level of the Centennial Eu-
reka mine was increased somewhat and
consequently 1t was necessary to suspend
work at that depth. Since that time the
two units OF the big electric pumping
plant have been operating at their capa !.
city and this means that 1000 gallons OF
Ions per day. have been lifted to the sur
face. Superintendent Brown. who has
been watching things closely below the
water level for several months. believes
that the flow OF water will soon become
normal and that crosscutting for the ore
can again be taken up at this depth.
Already considerable drifting has been
done below the water level but 1t is yet
some little distance to the point where
the ore should be found. In case the flow
OF water does not diminish additional
units will be added to the pumping plant
If the deep mining Is to continue.
Iron King Work.
At the present time there is no work
going on IN the main tunnel of the Iron
King mine, but Superintendent George
Parker is driving a couple OF lateral
drifts In a northerly direction, One OF
these drifts leaves the main tunnel al
or near It's face and the other something
like 500 feet back. The work OF timber
ing the main tunnel between these two
points is also under way, timbers being
absolutely necessary, on account Of the
bers are being put in very rapidly. how
bermen can make high as ten feet
daily. The showing In these lateral
drifts is quite good at this time and iron
ore is coming in In small quantities.
Drifting is still under way upon the
600 level of the Grand Central mine
This drift Is being pushed out toward
the southeast and the object of this work
is to connect up with the ore body which
has been opened very extensively upon
the levels above. The Grand Central is
now sending out about nine carloads OF
ore each week and the reports from the
mine are very encouraging.
