| Show GODIVA MINE IN TINTIC DISTRICT GOES TO UNITED STATES COMPANY A deal which was closed a few days ago will not only mean the reopening of one of the old time mines of this camp but the introduction into the district of considerable new capital the united states mining smelting smelling Sm elting company having taken over the options on godiva mining company formerly held by jackson C mcchrystal of salt lake city says the eureka reporter of the ath instant it is understood that a very extensive campaign of work is to start at once some of it through the godiva shaft and other deep mining operations to be handled from one of the adjoining mines already the overhauling and repairing of the machinery is under ways way previous to closing the deal which gave them control of the mine the officials of the united states mining company had their engineers and geologists in the godiva workings in in which there is reported to be a large amount of low grade ore as well as many promising stringers and bunches of higher grade material during the earlier days of the district the godiva was one of the heavy producers of this camp the mine was operated under the management of jackson mccrystal and a milling plant was erected to treat ores that would not stand the heavy expense of shipment to the smelters shelters sm elters in recent years work has been carrie carried d on in a rather desultory fashion mostly by lessees lessels les sees and and the profits have been small most of the godiva development work has been on the mines upper levels although the shaft extends to a depth of 1200 feet with a feet below that point in recent years the shaft has been in such shape that no work could be handled below the level and while the united states people will perhaps do much of their deep prospecting in from one of the adjoining mines it is quite probable that they will immediately repair the shaft from the to the 1200 and follow out the old ore system which has great possibilities because it has never been followed to any great depth or to the outer boundaries of the companas comp anys ground for the present the old hoisting plant will likely answer but later the hoist will be electrified john enlund who has been the head man locally for fon the united states company for many years will be placed in charge of the work at the godiva for nearly thirty years the U united cited states people took an enormous tonnage out of this district a lot of it coming from their own miney mine the centennial eureka which now seems to be pretty well cleaned after the cent centennial e anial eureka commenced slipping the smelting smelling sm elting company took over the bullion beck which I 1 also contributed a heavy output for of both the centennial eureka and a long period years the beck are now inactive and it is but natural for the united states officials to be casting around for another producer their previous investments in tintic gintic mining ground this di strict district still contains yielded fortunes and without a doubt centennial Eu potential noial a great many pote |
