Show LETTER FK03ITI.NTirj. Corrc.aionaonoo of the Ilta.'.m.J Tisnc, Juno 1st, lt7j. JULL3 NEEDED. I have visited a few of the mines of this district in the last few days, ami have been bo much interested that I cannot forboar Ecratehing a lew items to interest others. Tlio Tintio district I may say is not as lively as it miht be, tho lack of capital and machinery being our great drawback. Wo have tho mines that will pay to work; thousands thou-sands of tons of ore on the dumps that will pay to mill, but when you must havo ore that will assay at least $150 to the ton beforo you can bhip, it is apt to discourage men whoso mines will only averago irom SjO to $100 per ton. Wo havo thousands of tons of oro already al-ready out, that will pay by mill process, pro-cess, worked here, from $00 to SI -5 to tho ton, Tintio isgoucrally considered a dry camp, but a trip to the various springs in the mountains and tho valley val-ley hero, will convince anyone that our facilities for water privileges and mill sites aro not tho worst in tho world. Within live milos of the centre of this district sites can bo had for half a dorcn large mills. Aro aro anxiously waiting tho advent of a mil!, knowing that as soon as tho stamps aro heard in this valley, our suce:ss and prosperity pros-perity as a Lnining district sccoc 1 to none in tic Territory is certain.

A quan-ity quan-ity of oro has been shipped during .he winter and spring, and some lbrty :onfl of first class is being sacked for J ihipment by Meader. On this claim f in air Bhaft has just been sunk, and l aow a contract to go down on the 1 main shaft seventy feet further, is let " to the old contractors, Messrs. Weather- wax A: Gilbert. Ore is bcint; tukchj out and shipped from the Whitney cluitn on this lode, in fair quantities, L and at satisfactory prices. I Work on Black Dragon hill ia lively, I ! md some rich strikes aro reported. ' The Huberts company aro pushing , work on their Cariso IoJlv with good' results in rich oro and ploniy of it. Ai lino (free) well of water is now the or-i der of the d.iy in Dragon Hollow. ' The Huby :'.::d Amr. in lodes nro to ! have tunnels run to them forthwith.; fhe Golden Treasure and 1. Tell lodes, ; -ccent discoveries, nro making their 1 owners jubilant. Around Diamond! timos aro dull. The smelter 1ms not; resumed opc-ratioo.s, and much ill feel-, mg is held against the company own-i ing, by thoc who have not yet ro-1 ecived their pny for work dono and1 ore s!d 'iho .Jo Bowrrs is being! woiked with cosiderablo vim and satis- j . factory resu'n. Sinking is still going! ou, on the IsalK-lh Victory, and the ' vein holds good. The Saratoga, Ris-j iug Sun and Jcfl'ersou continue to maintain the reputation justly earned' M" being gor.d h-dges. The Mary; Cleavland, Morning Glory, Silver: 3mr and Shoebrtdge are still ihrowinsj rich ore in tight in fair quantities. In i i'act our prospects arc good, our ledges, is far a-! worked on, pin out better as! we go down, giving evidence of per-' manence ; and we arc satiGed to work and wait, feeling assured that capital will not much iouger neglect the excellent excel-lent opportunities offered here for sale, investment and handsome dividends. I have just learned that the Cris-mon Cris-mon company have struck the Mammoth Mam-moth lode iu their tunnel, which is run in 390 loot, and cut tho lode 225 feet down, having a vein of ore sixteen feet wide, liow'sthat? No slide there. This is 1,200 feet north of the discovery dis-covery shaft on the lode. Thre is some talk of brisk times at Eureka soon. The Huntington company arc working vigorously the Sidna, a large and rich vein on Dragon Hill. Aloro anon, Qva. |
