Eureka Democrat: While it is an admitted fact that Tintic district has the and lead mines in greatest silver-gol- d not so well known is it this country, of the product that the largest part from these mines is treated right here, and that Tintic mining district is preeminently a bullion producer is evidenced in the known fact that there are now more stamps in active operation within its borders than in all the balance of the mining districts of the State combined. It will no doubt be a matter of surprise to many of our readers, as well as cause for congratulation, to know that in less than thirty days Tintic will have the largest combination mill plant in the world. This distinction rests with the great Eureka-Hi- ll Mining company, of which John Packard is president and principal owner, and to whose able, progressive and judicious management is mainly due the successful demonstration that combination mill plants are the proper ones to treat the product of silver-lea- d Q. mines. The mine which supplies all the ore for this great mill plant is not only among the oldest, but one of the most extensively and systematically developed of the many large mines of Tintic district. It is situated in the suburbs of the present city of Eureka, or rather Eureka was built to fit this admine. The famous Bullion-Bec- k on as it does the also the north, joins Gemini-Keystoextensive group, while to the south the wonderful is on the extension of the great ore zone. J. W. Caine and associates have secured a lease and bond on the Independence mine near Diamond, which was in abeyance some time owing to a disagreement as to the amount of the cash bonus to be paid. Tuesday a telephone message to the banking house of George Arthur Rice & Co. instructed them to advance the cash and have the papers completed. The owners of the property are Dennis C. Sullivan, T. D. Murphy and John More, and the bond is for one year. Tintic Miner: Superintendent J. D. MiKendall of the Centennial-Eurek- a ning company says that the sale of that property for $3,000,000 is practically a sure go. The reason assigned for the decrease in the force employed and in the amount of shipments is that the agreement with the syndicate that holds the option is that the company shall take out no more ore than will suffice to pay running expenses and the regular monthly dividend of $30,000. All over that amount is to be turned over to the new company in the event of the sale going through. As the shipments of last week netted $50,000, there will probably be a very comfortable sum paid over. The Swansea company have made arrangements with the Mammoth company to get water of them. It will be piped from the tank at the Mammoth mill around the hills to the water-tan- k at the Swansea, and will be run hy gravity. Cable and buckets arrived here yesterday billed for the Paxman Mining company, which would indicate that that company proposes to commence immediate operations. It is also rumored that it is their purpose to acquire possession of some valuable adjacent property. Shipments from the district for the past week are reported as follows: From the Bullion-Bec- k mine, 25 carloads of ore; Bullion-Bec- k mill, 10 car ne Cen-tennial-Eur- eka The Hot Stuff company has claims to distinction other than its name. The large amount of shipping ore on the dump will soon be sent to the smelters and will net $8 per ton. The property is being steadily developed and the showing is excellent. The mine is an old North Tintic property and was worked twenty-si- x years ago. The mine has been worked erratically since 1873, in a strong vein heavily copper-staine- d on the surface. Although many feet of tunnels and drifts have been driven, the work has amounted to nothing but surface scratching, but sufficient ore has been shipped from the old workings to pay expenses and net a neat sum to the owners. The Hot Stuff Mining company proposes to work the mine from a shaft, which will be sunk 300 feet before any ore is attempted to be stoped. This shaft has been sunk already to a depth of sixty feet in vein matter and ore. Some second-clas- s ore on the dump of the old tunnel will be shipped as soon as the condition of roads will permit. The company has one of the best prospects in the East Tintic range. The vein is probably a continuation of the Tintic lode, as its appearance is the same, but it may be an independent vein. The mine lies at the northeast base of Boulder mountain, and is reached from Eureka, seven miles; Del Monte, four miles, and Fairfield eighteen miles. A good thing pushes itself along. ing the Marion and Golden Gate as well as the Geyser, while the east end of the claim underlies the town of Mercur and includes within its lines some $30,000 worth of town lots. The basis of capitalization is an extremely conservative one, the stock being placed among men "who desire to develop rather than job stock. Fairfield correspondence Mercur Miner: We are going to have a town here, the site now being surveyed and platted, in which Messrs. Fitzgerald, Hicks, Lake and Ryan, who own a mile square surrounding the station, are the promoters of the enterprise. They have a perfect site for a town, which will be known as Fairfield City. They also figure that underlying this townsite is to be found the rich vein of ore that theory says is to be had at uneven depths all over this side of the mountains, extending across Cedar Valley flat as far east as Utah lake, where good ore has already been found. So thoroughly is this believed by mining men, that richtheory concerns are now sinking shafts down on the slope in the flat, and have arranged to go down 1500 feet, or strike it. The principal men in this deal are Tooele County. CAMP FLOYD DISTRICT. The Golden Bar company has let a contract for 100 feet of shaft. The property lies about a mile west of the Sunshine. Two hundred and fifty thousand of the capital shares', being one-ha- lf stock of the Hillside company, have been purchased by R. C. Chambers and Richard Mackintosh from C. H. Scheu, Captain McFarland and J. B. Thompson. The consideration is not stated, but the property is of great value, as it adjoins the Mercur on the south.

The Overland adjoins the Sunshine on the north. The Mercur Sunshine company has let a contract for 100 feet of shaft. The property lies just south of the Sunshine mill. Hon. Thomas G. Merrill and J. H. Conrad of Helena have purchased the Vanderbilt group, which will be developed at once.

Park City Patriot: The past week has been another quiet one in Park City mines. All the men in Ontario No. 3 were laid off Sunday and part of Monday. The Ontario mill shipped yesterday thirty-thre- e bars of base silver bullion. This is the smallest ment made at one time this year. shipThe Marsac mill will make another shipment in a fewr days. The Silver King laid off a portion of its force Saturday evening, with instructions to report for was resumed duty today. Tuesday. The Silver King-Alliantrespass suit is set for trial at Salt Lake tomorrow'. On next Tuesday the Silver King wMll make its monthly distribution of checks to its clever force of miners. It will, on the same day, send out its sixteenth monthly dividend of $37,500, making in all $600,000 paid by that mine to its lucky stockholders. On the 10th the Anchor will pass the monthly checks to its Ore-hauli- ng ce well-manag- ed miners. What do you think of the eight-holawr? the waiter asked Dave Keith this week. I think its all ur right, was his prompt reply. The Anchor will comply with the law as soon as it goes into effect. I believe in the eight-hosystem myself. There is no doubt about that. The Silver King is in evidence to prove that both he and Tom Kearns are eight-hou- r men, and dont require an act of the Legislature to make them so. The Anchor concentrator is working ones hift at present. The West Daly mill is working one shift. When the w'ater supply is sufficient twro more shifts wdll be put on. The Daly has another water trouble, but it wront cause much inconvenience.
