Show 8 INTER-MOUNTAI- principality. Those who have pinned their faith to Tintict and have stood firm while the tide of financial disaster swept the continent, can well point with pride to the record that has been made; the long list of dividend-earnin- g mines; the millions of dollars they have added to the Nations wealth; to the great sums returned to the fortunate owners upon their investment and labor; the immense mine and mill equipments; and last but not least, the large sums disbursed to and opportunities given the thousands of toilers under and above ground to obtain the comforts of home. Where is there another locality so free from obstacles, so golden of promise? is at present The Centennial-Eurek- a the leading producer of shipping ores in the district. The company have no mill plant upon the property. The mine equipment is one of the largest and of modern pattern, embracing all the latest devices applicable to safety, speed and economy. Operations continued uninterruptedly during the past year, resulting in a total shipment of nearly 11,000 tons of ore, valued at $631,000, out of which seventeen dividends were paid, amounting to $510,000. Besides this, some expensive improvements were made. An average of about sixty-fiv- e men are carried upon the pay-rol- l. But little is known or obtainable of the underground workings of this property. The Grand Central company is sinking upon their ground adjoining with the belief that the ore bodies of the Centennial extend into their ground. is one of the reliaThe Bullion-Bec- k ble and steady producers of the district. Its hoisting plant is of ample capacity and latest design. The average daily shipment of ore from the mine to the smelters is about four cars, or 100 tons. The company have a concentrating mill upon the property of the very latest design, containing all the most improved devices for crushing and sizeing, with six triple compartment jigs and fifteen vanners. The capacity of the mill is about 200 tons of ore per day at present, and requires a force of about thirteen men for each twelve-hou- r shift. The company marfirst-claore as it comes ket their from the mine, and concentrate their second-clas- s and market the product, some twenty tons per to amounting day. The dividends paid by the company for the year just closed amounted ss to $375,000, making a grand total to date of $1,950,000. Eureka Hill is another of the east side properties, and one that has made an enviable record in the past, and will no doubt excel itself in the future. It has been a constant producer of both e shipping ore and of the medium class, which has passed concentrating through its mill. The ore bodies of the Eureka are immense, and the output limited only by the facilities to handle and treat it. That a contract has been let and preparation made to add forty more stamps to the battery capacity, is an evidence that the company intend to largely increase their product of last year, which amounted to fifty-si- x e carloads of ore, and 186 carloads of concentrates sent to the smelter. They employ at mine and mill about 160 men. The Mammoth. This great property d maintains its reputation as a producer.
