Shipping Regularly It Is understood that the new shaft of the South Standard Mining com pany will be one of the largest In the mvart- - Suns now using force of fif-dlstrlct, containing four teen men and sending out meets; two hoisting places, s manway and an air chamber.

With lead at Its present price the ore Is good for a fine profit. All of the work, up to this time, has been handled through " a tunnel, from which there are some Incline workings. The vein Is of a blanket nature and has the appearance of being a permanent deposit.

Williamson says school Instruction can be taken up at that place next Monday morning. The contract called for the completion of the Job some two or three weeks ago but the difficulty experienced in getting material slowed up the work to some e tent. o School Board Contracts For The Transfer Of Pupils o - The contracts for the transfer of the pupils from Mammoth and Silver City to the Tintic High School at Eureka hare been awarded to John Klrkendall and David Greenhalgh. Mr. Klrkendalls bid for carrying the Mammoth pupils to and from school, throughout the season, was 31375 and Mr. Greenhalgh will be paid the sum of 31600 for performing the same work with reference to the Silver City pupils. WHY SILVER MINERS ARE NOT SCARED. o Western silver miners have no characteristic more fixed and more admirable than their persistent hope and optlmlsy In the face of the most discouragements. They depressing have been manifesting this trait In a notable manner during the recent disastrous drop In the price of their more product, from considerably than a dollar an ounce to a figure cents. approximately ninety-nin- e They have gone on energetically with their development work In this state and In Its neighbors on the west and north, realizing that the slump was only temporary, and that by every reasonable hypothesis the average price of the white metal must soon advance, above 31-0an ounce. Seeking the cause of the recent drop, they readily found it in the fact that the British treasury temporarily suspended silver buying In India, and also In the reaction following Europes melting of Its silver currency, bought at fifty cents an ounce, to sell at the high prices. The logical effect of both these policies was to destroy the price of the metal, and cause It to drop severely. But Immediate reassurance came to the producers In the reflection that 0 during the war the U. S. treasury department melted more than a quarter-billiodollars In stiver and sold It to supply the needs of Asia, and that in consequence, the government will have to replenish lfs vaults with American sliver a program that Is now being carried out which will require at least four years of the total output of American mines. In addition to all this, the Intelligent white metal producer knows that the whole world Js exceedingly short of silver,, and thlt .gold production Is still declining. If even under the usual run of luck" the silver miner of the great West Is Inclined to hopefulness, there is everything In these incontrovertible tacts to strengthen his courage and n confidence. Exchange. Tintic Union Company Is Planning To Start Work o H. G. Snyder, one of the officers of the Tintic Union company, owning ground In the eastern end of the district, states that work Is to be taken up at an early date. The company levied a small assessment, which has been paid Into the treasury and which gives ample funds for Immediate needs, and present plans call for sinking a shaft. Some work will be needed in order to hold the claims for the present year and the Tintic Union officers say that they Intend to spend the annual assessment money on improvements of a permanent nature. - o - Shipping Dump Ore At Bate Of Two Can Daily 0 James Morgan, who has a contract 'for loading the Mammoth company's dump material, has his crew well organized and the work is progressing In a satisfactory mantey'' The mining company has permission to ship two carloads of thrfump ore dally and Mr. Morgan qpys that he will be able to put the ore on the cars with the present equipment and the force which he Is using. It Is generally understood that It will not be long until the smelter will be In position to take a much heavier tonnage and If so it may be necessary to run a railroad spur Into the big dump, which contains many thousands of ton 4. Good Grain Crops Were Raised On Tintic Lands Those who have been out In the Tintic Valley during the past week state that some exceptionally fine grain crops are being harvested and from all Indications the year will be a successful one for the dry farmers of this locality. Threshing Is now In progress and the present price of wheat Is 32.10 per bushel although some has been sold at and 32.00. Rye, which has taken the place of wheat on many of the dry farms In this part of the state, la worth 32.50 per 100 pounds. About the largest crop of wheat in the Tintic Valley Is that which was raised on the Wing ranch to the west of Tintic Junction, the crop being estimated at more than 4000 bushels. On the same ranch about 1000 bushels of rye was also grown. The dry farm of Vet Whiting, out toward Boulder Summit, will likely produce close to 3000 bushels of wheat, while considerable rye was 31-9- 0 raised on the Knight farm and the property of Thomas McCormick. Good crops are also reported at the Towers property and Hans J. Hansel's land out In the West Tintic section will also have a good yield. - |
