Show LEACHING AT LEHI. PROBABILITIES OF LARGE REDUCTION WORKS BEING LOCATED THERE. A Company Has B-en Formed for the Purpose and a Site for the Mill Has Partially lteeu Decided on Local and Oeneral Mining News. It begins to look highly probable that the leaching works go frequently Tpokcu of to treat Tintic ores will go to Lehi. Several places have becu visited by men who arc interested in-terested in the construction of this plant, among them being Springville, Spanish I'ork, Provo and l.chi, but the latter place seems to have been given the preference. The citizens of l.chi are most imxious to have the works located there and are offering offer-ing every inducement that could reasonably t)--i demanded. A Mie for the mill has been offered, situated some half a mile from the Union Pacific depot. Should it be decided t.y the company to accept this location, the, work of construction would be commenced almost as soon as the Rio Grande Western should reach Eureka. Tt is intended that the proposed mill shall be of largercapacity than any of a similar kind in the territory. The method of treating the ore will be the Kui-sell process, the same which is now being be-ing used so successful'y at the Marsae, mill InParkCitv. A plant of this kind can be supplied with an almost unlimited amount of ore, from the Uureka mines alone, and as the cost of treatment would not exceed $1) a ton, the mines would be enabled to double their present production. As a further guarantee guar-antee that the works will be. built, it is known that several of the largest mine own--rr in Tintic. are the heaviest stockholders in the scheme.

Goodwin, the indefatigable news gatherer of the Tribune, is at home from an extended tiip through the northwest. Several good strikes have been made in La Plata district since the excitement subsided, and all of them are good enough to encourage encour-age development. C. S. Watson, who resigned the superin-tendeney superin-tendeney of the Mammoth about, a month ago, left the mine Saturday, and is enjoying a vacation in town. The new strike in the Lady Godiva at Tintic is reported to be fabulously rich. The j Tein is from four to six feet wide and the I ore galena and horn silver. Ve.-terday in Ogden was an occasion for the wildest demonstrations eigh t four-horse teams drove into town loaded with the first shipment of ore from the La Plata district. Geo. Henry Hewitt and Charles T. .Tud-kins, .Tud-kins, both wealthy mining men of Aspen, Colo., went to Tintic today to look at the, lonnnzas and opportunities for investment there.
