OLD MAMMOTH GOOD
FOR MANY YEARS YET
After Forty Years, 1t Is the
Heaviest Shipper in Tin
tic District.

Years ago, whom Samuel Mcintyre
mado trade and got control Of the
ground which now forms the basis for
the Mammoth Mining company, some of
his friends intimatcd that he had been
gold bricked in the transaction. and that
there was but little chance of him ever
getting his money back. Even inf those
days, when MIR. Mcintyre WAS just start
ing out on his career as a mining opcr-
ator, he had very good knowledge of
geological matters. and naturally he saw
wonderful possibilities In the Mammoth
property, but If anyone had told him
that the mine which he later developed
would be one of Tintic Is heaviest ship.
pers after more than forty years of con-
tiuuous product ton, ho would no doubt
have had good, hearty laugh Mt their
expense, snys the Eureka Reporter.
Today this property, which has paid
millions in dividends and which is one
OF Utah s very deepest mines. seems TO
be good for n score or moro Of years.
During the past few weeks the Nam
moth mine has beon one of the heaviest
shippers of the district, and there are
reasons to believe that this heavy tom
mage can be maintained for long time
to come. II is true that much of the
present output is being taken from the
surface dumps, which contain many
years accumulation of low"grade ore;
but, then, this company still has a large
amount of virgin territory, and there is
no telling when new ore deposits will
be pDcnuntprn1

so, 900 Tons in Dump.

Samuel Mcintyre, Jr., the manager of
the mine, says that the dump orc con
talns gold, silver and copper. There is
no big profit III the shipment of this
ore, but even a few dollars a ton means
real money when it is understood that
there is an immense quantity of this
ore. Some have made the Statement
that the dump, from which shipments
arc now being made, contains 100000
tons; but Mr., Mcintyre is inclined to

.LEASERS WILL WORK
IN COLORADO MINE
North Part of Tintic Property
to Be Operated That
Way.

At the recent meeting OF The Colo
RADIO Mining company directors il was
decided TO turn the north end of the
mine over to the lessees, and according
to Assistant Manager Frank Birch the
various blocks of ground have already
been taken, says the Eureka Reporter.
Men who have been working for the
company were the first TO apply for
leases as soon as the report went out
that the mine was to be operated under
the leasing system.
During the early part of last year,
after systematic cleanup had been
made at the Colorado, two important
strikes were made, Two splendid
bunches of ore, one in the north end of
the property and the other some dis
tance to the south of the shaft, re-
suited in the mine again taking its place
in the list of shippers. These punches
of ore were nothing but offshoots from
the main ore zone, which previous to
that time had been pretty well cleaned
up, but the two orc deposits brought the
company better than $4,000. While
the lessces may never find anything
quite as important as these two bunchds
of ore, there is q probability of some
good strikes being made to the east and
west Of the main ore channel.
Was Operating at Loss.
Mr. Birch states that the Colorado
was operated at loss during the month
of December and this no doubt caused
the directors to decide upon the adop-
tion of the leasing system.
Of al vi
not he turned over to the lessees for the
reason that it contains large quantities
Of milling ore which will no doubt be
shipped to the Knight Christensen mill
in the near future. At any rate the. di-
rectors feel that they must have free
access to this low grade ore and for that
reason they are keeping the lcssees out
of that part of the Colorado property.
The Beck Tunnel property has been
drifting along in Il rather quiet way for
several months, but the reports which
are being sent out from time to time in
dicate that the mine is making some
money. When tho Knight companies
held their meeting at Provo few days
ago it was stated that the treasury of
the Beck Tunnel contained better than
$4,000, and that the royalty on ore
which is being mined by the lessees is
gradually increasing the surplus.
December was an exceptionally good
month for the Iron. Blossom company,
according to report which has Just
been compiled by the manager, the
mine earnings during the last month
of the old year exceeding $4,000. The
Iron Blossom is paying regularly quar-
terly dividends of 100000 and this
means that the mine is earning better
than $4,000 per month, and this
amount of money is being secured from
very limited tonnage, The knight
people have all kinds of faith in the
new milling plant. which they have
erected at Silver City, and for that rea.
son they are holding back everything
but the very best Of the ore at the
Iron Blossom Much Of this low grade
ore could be shipped at a fair profit
under existing conditions, but there
Will he a chance for much greater prof
its if this ore can be successfully
treated IN the new mill,

The inspector had been here since
Saturday morning looking over the
different locations offered. Upon his
departure, Mr.. Fleming stated that
he had nothing to give out. as his in
structions were that he make his re-
port to the treasury department from
his next place, and that he would
not send in the report until after he
got to Salt Lake City. From what
could be Cleaned, il seemed that the
locations for the new postoffice mar
rowed down to either a close-in lot
on Main street. or the one opposite
the present location. No statement
to that effect was made by Mr.
Fleming. Much interest developed in
the selection of the sites by differ
ent citizens, the aim of all being to
get the location settled so. that work
could begin on the building in the
near future. Mr.. Fleming stated.
that he had been offered a fine lot
of sites, and that it would be hard to
make selections. Before his depart
ure he complimented Durant very
highly, stating that he had a most
enjoyable stay among some of the
most hospitable people he had ever
met. and that while there was much
rivalry among those offering sites, 1t
was fair spirit that prevailed.
While in the city he was shown

He was shown the big nursery plant.

Mr.. Fleming will file his report
from Salt Lake City and stated that
It would be anywhere from thirty to
sixty days before the treasury de-
partment would make known the site
selected.
