Show Lessees Are Successful in Operating the Gemini Mine Several leusccn who aro operating In tho Gemini mlno have been sticcpssful In bringing that, properly forward an a. prominent prom-inent zinc producer, many carloads of that character of oro having been recently re-cently shipped to tho smelters. This leasing syatcm of operation in the Gemini baa been the cauco of liberal dlH-tiibutlonn dlH-tiibutlonn of ca.'ih among the miners each month, sorno of tho men taking down unusually blc checka, and almost without I exception the leasers aro doing extremely well. An important bit of work that Is being done in the mlno Is tho opening of a tunnel tun-nel in the direction of tho Chief Con-eolidlted Con-eolidlted property. Yov a considerable time past the Chief management has been running a tunnel toward the Gemini for the purpose of having the advantage of two shafts In case of accident. The arrangement will be advantageous to both properties, Inasmuch as both will share the improved condition of having two shafts, cither one of which may bo used In caso of emergency. By reason of tho fact that the opening is desired at the earliest possible date, work has been commenced front the Gemini side, thus rendering that mine a scene of much activity. The Chief Consolidated people wish to explore tho ground of the Eureka City Mining company, and the tunnel connection between the Gemini and the Chief will bo utilized for that purpose. The GeninI Is one of the important mines of the Tlntle district. It has been a good producer for years, and the prospect pros-pect at present is that 'it will continue as n profitable working mine for many years to come. Its output has been extracted ex-tracted at reasonably economical cost, so that the men who have done the actual work of mining have ntado handsome profits out of their labor. Located as It Is as a neighbor of many other producers of great value, there is Indication that new oro bodies will be encountered upon further exploration. The mine in kept in good physical condition, condi-tion, development work being executed to keep pace with the amount of extraction extrac-tion that is going on in the property. It Is expected by the owners that the year 1913 will bring many important developments develop-ments in the mine, which has a large number' of friends among the mining fraternity of Utah. |
