TINTIC DEVELOPMENT. ' The wonderful possibilities of the Tintic district of Utah, which are now manifesting themselves conspicuously in the Black Jack, the Carisa, the Little Lit-tle Bell, and various other properties, continue to attract the attention of the mining world, and investors who would - pot have regarded favorably the placing plac-ing of capital there a few years ago, re now inquiring for opportunities in ' that region. With about twenty mines already contributing to the regular weekly yield, several paying dividends monthly and others quarterly, the capacity ca-pacity for yielding handsome returns has convinced the public that it is a safe place to put money.

The Scranton is said to have exposed at this time more than 100,000 tons of ore which, at a most conservative estimate, es-timate, is worth to the company, net, $10 a ton, or $1,000,000 and to be in a fair way to soon receive recognition as one of the biggest properties of the State. Shipments are being made of only ores extracted in the course of development. de-velopment.
