The slag dump of the idd Tintic smelter ss near thu mill, most of the dump has been shipped ship-ped during the past montli to the smelters, smel-ters, from which the ie-sces are said to have derived a handsome profit. Co,raplis, There is no mine in the territory more d, Moult to get any information about than this. There is no one who knows anything about the condition of the property except the owners, (and they won't tell) and the tnin ers who are in it. From one of these men it is learned that a rich vein has been struck !ioO feet below be-low tunnel loel. This ore is said to be of considerable extent aud will run if '.''Ml a ton, olio-half of which value is gold and the remainder silver. Today's Or Kroalpts.

Some of the ore being shipped is of an exceedingly exceed-ingly high grade and the bodies from which it is derived are exceedingly large. In Mr. Kirch's opinion the mine while only a fraction of one claim is one of the most valuable claims in Tintio. haw Hlrlk In tli Northern Light. A very line body of ore eighteen feet thick has been opened within the past few days in the Northern Light. Assays As-says from the breast of the face, show from 100 to 500 ounces in silver.

Hyde & Heck are still conli-dent conli-dent that a lixivation works w ould be a protitable thing for the Northern Spy to have to treat its ores, but the enterprise enter-prise has been delayed until another railroad and a smelting project iu which they are interested shall take a more definite shape.

Six new plants of machinery will be erected iu tho Tintic country this summer. sum-mer. The largest of them will be that on the Eagle, w hich is estimated to cost W0.U00.

Practically Closed Down-Seventy Down-Seventy men have been discharged from the employ of the Mammoth, and the mine is practically closed down. The reason assigned by the compauy is that they are going to put in new machinery. ma-chinery. If this is done, shipments from the property will cease entirely, and no dividends may be expected for some time to come unless they are paid out ot the surplus in the treasury.

Considerable prospecting is being done in the Cottonwoods. .Many new claims have been struck, some of which show good assays. There are a number of wealthy men in the city either representing themselves them-selves or others, who are looking up mining investments. If all the mines in Utah which aro paying large dividends were incorporated incorpor-ated and their stocks listed, it wool be a great advertisement for silver mining. Mot a single furnace of the gigantic Anacouda smelter is iu blast, all of the men on the mine numbering 3000 have been discharged excepting the pump tenders.

The depreciation deprecia-tion iu tho price of the stock, is thought to be due entirely to the causes assigned aud not to any concerted movement by bear traders. The improvements contemplate the moving of the boilers and compressors from the underground chamber to the surface. The old boilers are to be replaced re-placed by new ones ami several other additions made to the machinery, which is necessary iu order to economically work the mine. It is also said that the company contemplate sinking a new shaft 1000 feet north of thu present tunnel. To liioorpornta th Kuckhorn.

At the present time Mr. (Jilsou and his sous own ail of the property. The advantages ad-vantages to be gained by changing the ownership from them to a compauy would be in raising somo capital if necessary, to more thoroughly open up the property, ami to put its management manage-ment in the hands of a competent superintendent who would push its development. It is believed by those who have seen the I'lUckhorn. that with a little more-development the property could produce thirty tons of ore a day if not more. With such a showing it would induce others to open their mines and would be the most potent: inducement to a railroad which could be held out. Wot king Homansville Tatliagi.
