Show Around the Mining World. TINTIC COLD. If the favorable reports concerning the new mine at Tintic continue to come in, that prediction of Th Times that this camp would soon be the lcadiug gold producer of the territory, will be verified ere long. The latest is in regard to the Boss Tweed, which is owned principally by Salt Lakers. It is being developed rapidly and its pockets arc Hi full of the yellow stuff as were those of its namesake in his palmiest days. The fluctuation in tbo price of silver will soon v be a matter of minor importance tq Tiutic. , ewi About the Crc--t. Tho Park City Iterord can again say something some-thing new concerning the Orescent mine. In the first place the tramway made its last trip on Thursday afternoon and has been ! practically closed down for the year. The concentrator will follow suit as soon as the preseut lot of ore upon which the mill is engaged is cleaned up. The reason given at headquarters for the shut-down ia that the company does not care to market its ores with silver at iU preseut quotations, preferring to store it at the mine, and feels that it will undoubtedly prove a wi.se move. About fifty meu will be retained at the mine, who will be kept busy breaking down ore and in prospecting and uncovering new ore bodies and opening up more inntnuF irrrmtirl It in also rumored that the add ten stamps to the Jacket mill. It is reported re-ported that the Jacket road will be built to tho mouth of the Pahsamori. Graphic, t'hal-lis, t'hal-lis, Idaho. The incline shaft on the Eda lode, located. lo-cated. at tho head of Cottonwood gulch, is now down about 300 feet, and the vein being followed looks more encouraging than ever. About two feet and a half of good milling ore was eucountered in the face of the incline in-cline last Saturday, and the operators feel very much elated over it, believing that jt will develop into a fine body of first-class ore in a short time. Bintjutm Bulletin. A trial run was made last week on the concentrator of Le Compte, Rosseamp fe Glenn at Park City. The large water wheel did not develop power enough to drive the machinery as fast as desired. Another engine en-gine will be put ou. The re concentrates well. The plant consists of a small rock-crusher, rock-crusher, pair of Cornish rolls and two sets of double-compartment jigs. The ore body in the tunnel is steadily improving. ( The men who are spending their money in buying mining properties and in prospecting prospect-ing and development work are making a splendid exhibition of nerve, considering the presont outlook for silver. They are also showing excellent judgment, as to the time to get in on the ground floor is when people are alarmed and ansioua U )!. If a car-ful car-ful watch is kept on the mining operators of today, it will be found that they will be bonanza kings in a few years. Jlining Journal. company will drive the 7000-foot tunnel that, was surveyed two year ago, and whic-h, when completed, will tap the Crescent at a Tertleal depth of 1700 feet below the collar of the present incline sbait. Thi tunnel, if run, will start from a point below the tramway tram-way near the foot of the loog grade leading up to Rocky Point, and will prospect a large scope of country lying between there and the Crescent mine, and according to the judgment of a large number of thorough miners, should be the means of exposing some very rich ore chute. At the company's office it is admitted that the question of driving the big tunuel has been seriously considered, though no definite conclusion has been reached. This being so, the chances are very favorable for the work being commenced this fall. The l a Plata District. A correspondent of the Ogden Standard from La Plata writes: The La Plata company com-pany has resumed work on La Plata mine. They were compelled to shut down on account ac-count of bad air, but they now have a fan and a largo blower, the former to force powder pow-der smoke and bad air out of the drifts and the latter to conduct fresh air - down the shaft, thereby making a regular air eourse through the mine. The Red Jacket leasers are still at work in the hope that they wjll strike it big in the end. John Porter, C. W, Westover and others oth-ers of the Red lacket company were in town a few days ago to inspect the mine and work done by the leasers. F. W. Tbackwell is sinking a shaft on the Mountain Boy property. He is working one shift at present, but will work on a larger scale if a good body of ore is struck, which he ia almost sure of now. Indications are cry favorable. A surveying party started from La Plata for the purpose of surveying an air line from the Central Pacific railroad to La Plata. It ia the general opinion that I.a Plata is out-aide out-aide of the railroad grant, which only extends ex-tends twenty miles on each side of the railway. rail-way. It i to be hoped that I-a Plata is out-aide, out-aide, as it will save time and money, and both (at least the latter) are valuable to mining min-ing interests. D, W. Ellis is the surveyor. Green Grove Mine. A Bingham Bulletin scribe visited tha Green Grove mine, at the head of Cottonwood Cotton-wood gulch, the first of last week, and found work moving- steadily along and the nrop-- nrop-- erty lookinir finely- The upper tunnel is in 250 feet, and about eighteen inches of first, class and four feet ot second-class ore two well defined bodles--are exposed in the same. The strike of the vein on this property prop-erty is east and west and it dips to the north. The operators have about sixty tons of grd concentrating ore and twenty-live tons of first-class ore out ready to ship, which assays as-says one-half ounce silver to a unit in lead. They are not taking out any ore at present, being engaged in running a tunnel below to tap ths ore bodies visible in the upper workings. The Green Grove is certainly one t the most promising properties in Cottonwood Cotton-wood gulch. It is owned by Mrs. A. Klop-enstine, Klop-enstine, but is being operated under lease and bond by Messrs. Hersome, Sessions and Henry. Mineral Patanta Iuutd.
