Show MINING LETTER FROM TINTIC (i;yauL'0.ii;Oci or tiik bkbalu,) TlNTlfl, May 25, 1S73. According to promise I propose to give yu a i'- w it'.md in connection with 'he h auioij iufivn of ihn dinlrict, and hall tart wi'h the pioneer lode of th.i district, v:z: 1' lie Suiibtaiu Which was located by Mooio and others oth-ers on the Kithdiyul' December, Istiy, on which chiy tin; Tunic Mining district dis-trict wus organized. The lode is finely f-i ualcd on a lonir, low ridge, runniug nearly north aud south, cay ol access lor working and teams to haul the ore. The vein crops on tlio surface for at least 2,U'H) feet, and is traceable for a greater distance. Tho oro vein lies between porphyry wall reck, and varies va-ries in width from tight inches to four iect, that is, the veiu at present work-.d on, although! ought to have said there aro two veins of the Sunbeam. Sun-beam. One is tho vein that crops, and tlio other the vein lrum which ore is being taken. The pay vein is about ten fee t east of the outcroppiug vein, and yields ores of almost every kind and color, and varying io richness, t-otue ol tho oro carrying Irom $-0 to $:i;iO, hilver, with iroiu 15 to oO per ocnt lead, while other kinds of the ore coutaiu from 10-5 per cent copper with from $10 to $3i)0 mlvcr. This mine is perhaps the best prospected lode in the district; from this fact, that tho ground has been held and worked io segregated segregat-ed claims of from 100 to 300 feet in length, and con.seriuently for 3,000 feet there is scarcely 200 il-et of ground that has not had a shaft sunk on it from forty to 150 feet deep, in every case showing a vein of oro, varying in richness rich-ness aud some- little in width, but all bearing tho same characteristics, the , presence of 6ilver, copper and load. Borne of these shafts aro sunk on tho pay vein but the majority are sunk on the outcropping vein of tho lodo, com- mencing at discovery stake which stands in tho edgo of a sniiill ravine. We have right hero i Tim Whitney Sim ft On his claim of 165 feet. ' The Bhaft sunk in the ravine is 150 feet deep, with a vein of uro tha,t started in it about four inches wide and has varied from that widih to two feet wido. At some points the vein has pinched for a few feet but always has had a color to go by. Levels aro run on the claim and at ninety feet deep a cross cut waB made, cuttiDg the outcropping vein which at that depth is ncurly five feet wide and will averago 40 per ton in silver. This vein has not been worked, in consequence of being too low grade to ship, and tho mill at prosent running run-ning cannot handle less than scventy-fi scventy-fi nr pifhtv dollar ore. Going un hill 165 feet we striko ;1 Tlio Moore Clnliu Of 200 feet, which at present is leased to C. T. Mcader of your city. The air shaft is sunk 40 feet deep on the south line of claim, and the main and working work-ing thal'r, situated midway of the claim, is sunk 125 feet, with a vein of ore from sis inehes to two and a-half feet .wide. Levels are run on oro tho cntiro length of tho claim. A abaft has been sunk from the lower level at the north end somo fifty feet, and a level commenced to connect with the main shaft, which is to bo sunk lower. Tho ore from this mino is shipped partly to Wyoming mill, and helps make their bullion fine, and the copper and lead are shipped. and sold I under-, stand, in Salt Lake City. The Icclc t'liilm Of 214 feet nest north, I understand, is now also in tho hands of friend Meadcr. It has a shaft SO feet deep, with a good vein of ore, though at present not as rich in silver as that on the Moore claim. Nest is a 100 foot olaim belonging to Wors'y and CrotT, with a prospcot shaft disclosing good oro. Nest is Tlio II j tie unci lBnrrin Claim of 721 feet, now owned by Woodmausco Bros. No work at present pres-ent being done on tho claim. Baak again to discovery stako and going 00 uxh on i lin aantli ax mtvnt - tto have Tho Huutliiglou and O, li. Claim of 172 feet, one Bhaft 90 fcot deep on good ore; and near the south end of olaim Tho Black SUnfl, One hundred feet deep, with a good showing.Sevcral thousand dollarsiworth of ore was sold irom this claim last year, and the owners started this week to sink, dtil't and take out ore. . Nest south is Tltc Crnudnll, Uougall ami Sullier-ltm Sullier-ltm il Claim with a forty foot shaft on the outcroping vein, showing five feet oro, which averages about 835 per ton. Fif teen feet above this vein and shaft lies the pay vein of the Sunbeam, which has been opened, and shows soiue two feet of ore, which only needs the mus-ole mus-ole to throw out, silver, that with a little trouble can be corned. Nest south is The lluntlittfton nad Floche . Claim with a shaft 50 feet deep, the vein going Btraigbt down about three and a half feet wide on the outcroping vein. Nest is Tlio Jlolcoinh Ground, With thrco shafts, I think two eighty feet deep, and one thirty fcot ducp on the outcrop. Nest is Tho Lewis Claim with a shaft 150 feet deep with a cut-aorops cut-aorops at tho bottom, and parties tell me who have boon to tho bottom, that the cut is twenty fcot wido altogether on ore, but of low grade; that is, it will not go $1,000 per ton quite, but would pay to mill After a whilo. ailSteUaneoua. Another and tho roost northern part of tho Sunbeam lodo ia worked by ui too ouiiuujlu iuuu ia wuijli:u uy the Sohneider tunnel. In conclusion lroin tho host information informa-tion I could get, there must have been shipped from this mine, all through, from forty to lilry thousand dollars worth of ore; and with capital and men of energy owning tho mino, that much oro can bo shipped every month. As scon as I cu get time I will visit the (Jrimon and Copperopolis Slam-moth. Slam-moth. If any ol the victims of salting havo tuoney 10 Fpcnd iu legitimate miniDg transaction, will leave curb-stooe go-betweens go-betweens where they belong, and come and make tbeir own examinations, and pay their cash to (ho mino owners themselves, for ground that will not go back on them, at hail' what they have topiyto bo ''bilked," wo can show them, in Tinlio, ledges which properly worked will pay a dividend on tho investment in-vestment ins'.cud of being a source of expense and outlay after they havo paid the purchase money. Let. capital capi-tal come here acd make 'an offor and 1 they can test tho property before their 1 money goes out of their fingers. Like 1 the " old apple woman " wo are not ' afraid to say to liivera, "come and try before ynu buy." C |
