KING WILLIAM IS 10 BUMPED Valuable Tintic Ground Soon to Be Opened Through Adjoining Ad-joining Territory. SURROUNDED BY BIG MINES OF DISTRICT Company Begins Active Work on Ground Monday, at Small Expense. Charles H. Blanchard, president and general manager of tho King William Mining company, leaves Monday in tho company of a surveyor for the purpose of mapping out the plans for the campaign cam-paign of development work ou this Tintic Tin-tic property which is to be started without with-out delay. Unusual interest attaches to the opening of this fifteen-acre tract of territory in Tintic on account of its unique position and undoubted possibilities. possi-bilities. lu the first placo the King William ground is entirely surrounded b1 some of the greatest mines in tho Tintic camp: its adjoining neighbors being tho Grand Central on the south, the Jteaglo and Blue Bell on the north, the Centennial Cen-tennial Eureka on tho west with the Grand Central wrapping round its eastern east-ern lines. The company likewise- has a tremendous advantngc in the way of developing tho ground, for work first will be started from the 1000-foot level of the Eagle and Blue Bell territorv. This will bring the Eagle and Blue Bell drift, now within forty feet of tho King William Hues, into the latter territory ter-ritory at a vertical depth of 1000 feet, whilo tho 2300-foot level of tho Grand Central mine, if its drift should bo extended, ex-tended, would tap beneath the King William ancx some 2900 feet. So in working through the Eagle and Blue Bell drift the King William company will save two years' time and something some-thing like $150,000 in money. In a recent report on the property, J. Fcwson Smith, chiof expert of the staff of tho United States Smelting, Refining and Mining company, said: "It is my opinion that the claim is valuable. It contains nearly half' as much area as the entire Centennial-Eurcka Centennial-Eurcka group, and more than half as much as the Grand Central. It is situated sit-uated upon the limestone beds, which . in S000 feet of distance northerly and southerly have produced tho Mammoth and Grand Centra ore bodies to the south of your claim and the Centennial-Eureka, Centennial-Eureka, Bullion Beck, Eureka Hill, Gemini. Eagle and Blue Bell, etc., to the north, and is directlv on line between be-tween the developed oro bodies of tho Mammoth and Grand Central properties and those of the Eagle and Blue Bell. "The limestone beds in which tho ores of Tint;" occur extend northerly and southrrlv through the King William claim without material interruption. After eight years of experience in the Centennial-Eureka mine and a close study of the relation of ore occurrence and tho limestones elsewhere in Tintic district. T am of the opinion that tho ore bodies developed to tho north and to the south of your claim will be found to connect through it." It is likely that the company will list ils stock oil the local exchange soon. Mr Blanchard is president; J. II. House is vice-president. A. C. Ellis. .7r.. is secretary' sec-retary' and L. IT.
