Must Do Assessment On Claims For Year 1920 The following letter, regarding the aaeeaament work on mining claims for the year, 1920, has been received by local people, being written by A. G. Mackensle, secretary of the Utah Chapter of the American Mining Con grata: Congress haa adjourned without enacting legislation for tha suspension of Annual Aauaament work on mining claims for tha year 1920 and lt la not expected to reconvene before the first Monday ln December. I am advised, from Washington that there is practically no hope of of assessment work thla year on acconnt of the short time that will ha left after Congreu meets again and the opposition tha proposal would encounter. We, therefore, advise all claim holders to arrange for thla year's assessment work in the . regular way, aa we believe there will be no relief legislation for 1920." ana-penil- . o Tintic-Dav- is Company Is Now Sinking Main Shaft John Davla, who waa ln camp during the week from the North Tintic section, says that the Tintic-Davcompany haa at laat got things moving and that sinking la under way. The Shaft haa a depth of about seventy feet end la cutting through is n mineralised formation which looks quite encouraging to the officers of the company. Recently electrical equipment was installed nt thla property and the machinery Is working nicely. During the week n carload of timbers were taken out to the mine. the North Tintic District ln recent months la the announcement that the Tintic Paymaster haa encounter ed a email bunch of ore, and although lt ia not of a nature to cause a sensation lt neverthaleaa howa conclusively that there ia good ore in the Paymaster ground. The Paymaster people sunk a new shaft to a depth of a little more that 400 feet and encountered water to such an extent that linking waa discontinued. The miners were then put to work driving two drifte, one east and the other north, and It waa 400 feet ln the latter drift where the ore waa encountered; only n. few' feet of work being done after the drift had left the porphyry rock and entered the limeatone.

They intend to divide the city into district!, probably using the fire districts aa n division, and on certain day of each week the garbage will be removed from n certain section of the town. Heretofore garbage has been gathered np at random and ln thla manner certain parte of the city were vlalted probably but once a month. A grant many complaints have been registered to this effect hut with the new yetem It le thought that the whole town can he covered much quicker and more thoroughly.

The mines and those connected with them hare been very much perturbed over the situation and ara looking forward with great concern to the proper adjustment by the authorities in Washington, to eliminate the red tape and make it possible for the mines to get what is properly coming to them. Aa Tintic la by far tha largest silver producer in the state lt la of course much more interested in the outcome of thla matter. Onr mines have been coping ln the beet possible way to meet all the extremely difficult condition! attending thia poat-wperiod; they have been earing their money, too, ao that their position might he strong enough to meet these condition!; withholding their dividends ao that they might be fortified with sufficient fnnda to maintain the operation of their mines until more favorable conditions prevail.
