Show HE LIKED TINT1C. 'A DISTRICT HAVINC WONDERFULLY PROMISING RESOURCES. Hilts of Territory as Yet Undeveloped and a llogion Holdiut; Out the 31nt Alluring Al-luring l'rospects to Capital Holdeii Suljihides Local and General. Mr. A. Alexander, who has been engaged In mining in Colorado for a number of years, returned last night from Tintic. He said lie did not know there was a district in Utah With such wonderfully rich mines as are ! now opened ami with m much promising territory undeveloped. He haw nearly all of the largo properties, went through their workings and made a mental calculation of the thousands there was disclosed. They Were properties which would give any mining min-ing section prestige, and yet the resources I were partially appreciated, Tintic would some day he to Utah what Aspen is now to Colorado. This would come when capital took hold of the mines and developed them and when cheaper processes made the working work-ing of lower grade ores possible. Today's Ore Ucecipts. Ifine. Tor,.

From this work their books show they shipped ?! l.iHio worth of ore. all of which was high grade, running over Slot) to the toll. liniiiiv Notes. The Miik Maid, in American F'ork canon, viil be worked ail winter. There was a car load of ore received yesterday yes-terday from La Plata district. (ins illiams came down from the snowy regions of Hig Cottonwood last night. The stock of the Sampson mine at Brig Jiam is to be. listed on the Denver mining ex- change. Seventeen ounces of amalgam were obtained ob-tained from the first day's run of the Sevier i mill. A mining sale of considerable magnitude is being negotiated is liable to be consuma-ted consuma-ted tomorrow. There " has been a ric h strike made in the IVij mine, nt, Pioi be. anaj .S..Godhe ia happy in consc-fiuence. The continued success of the Pioche smelter smel-ter has, given a decided impetus to business in that camp, which is now quite a lively plaee. James Grant, a mine owner in Fish Springs, says that district is becoming better every day and the shipments from the mines are abundant proof of his assertions. A good body of ore has been found in the Snow Hake mine at Tintic. The property i only a short distance from the town of Fwreka and is cast of the Eureka Hill and Builion-Beck. H. V. W'cstover, superintendent of the Red Jacket mine iu I. a Plata, is in the city. He thinks that within a year La Plata w ill be the greatest lead producing district in the territory. Mining men arc of the opinion that there is really something in the talk of building a mill at'l.ebi to treat ores by the leaching procesf and that the ground will be broken for it in the early spring. |
