When it was announced that a station was being cut in the winse the report that drifting was to start gained circulation and the officers of the company are anxious to deny this story. They Intend to continue sinking, sending the winse down at least ZOO feet more. ' It is said that in the bottom of the rinse there is now a very fine showing of manganese, iron and some quarts and everything indicates that an important ore deposit will be found with some addftional sinking.

Officers of the company have not stated to what extent the deposit has been developed on the mine's lowest level but reports from other sources Indicate that the deposit is apparently as large and rich on the 1450 as on the level above. Conditions throughout the Tintic Standard mine are more than satisand the present output factory amounts to shout three carloads per day. In' the south end of the property a new campaign of work has Just been taken up on the 1800 level of what is known as the No. 1 shaft. This is the original shaft of the property. It was temporarily abandoned after the new No. Z shaft connected with the ore deposits but later the old shaft was enlarged, retimbered and deepened. First of all connection, for the purpose of ventilation, was made with old and new workings and now the south end of the company's ground is to receive some attention.
