Show (Mi i::'.7 . jO TiiffiE pfl3;net7ATd) . There is an increasing activity in the fa mous Tintie district of Utah, It is coming into its own. F. Aug. Heinze known to take in roost good things presented him is already operating there, and all indications point to an expansion of his operations to greater extent than was probably contemplated when he first entered this district. He is supposed to be enlarging the scope of his exploitation, because ho believes it will pay. Thomas Weir aDd associates are said to be buying up all the ground that can be secured on satisfactory figures in the Silver City end of the district, where the prospecting has ouite conclusively conclu-sively satisfied investors of its fertility. The advent of these big mining men and successful financiers, together with the presence there already or every one of the largest operators of .Utah, has set the stamp of capital's aproval upon Tintic as a whole. Some parts of it that are more fully developed than others oth-ers are paying a great part of the dividends divi-dends enjoyed by investors in Utah mines. It is a noteworthy faet in this connection that local people entertain more confidence in Tintie than anybody else. ' The men that nave been within its borders longest are its greatest advocates. ad-vocates. The Farragut property, to the north of Eureka, is being developed by local people. This mine is expected to soon come into the shipping elass. C'oL Ed Loose ana associates have tied np everything they can get hold of in what is known as East Tintic and will proceed with development. The Colorado Mining company's mine, which adjoins the Beck Tunnel, is now reckoned as a coming valuable addition to the shipping list. It is a case of local capital again. .The Eureka Hill produced thirty-nine thirty-nine cars of ore the product of leasers' efforts during September. Among the mora fortunate of the leasers on the Eureka Hill is H. R. Wilder, who has broken into very valuable valua-ble ground that never before vielded, and emphasized the claims of ibe district dis-trict to possession of unknown ore bodies that only prospecting will develop. de-velop. Uncle Sam leasers shipped three ear-loads ear-loads last week, and in faet nearly all of the miners employed on leases are making better than wages, when their earnings are averaged. George H. Eadraan. a capitalist of Sioux City. Ia, and William M. Curtis, superintendent of the American Flag mine, at Park City, were shown over the district last week bv Superintendent Superintend-ent Hngo Deprezin of. the West Mammoth. Mam-moth. They were also tsken through this property and expressed much satisfaction satis-faction at the promise it gives of making ma-king one of the best in the district. The shaft is 300 feet below the tunnel level, and work is being pushed. The strike in the Eagle and Blue Bell, the Heinze bonanza in Tintic, first reported re-ported ten days ago, has been crosscut a distance of thirty feet without dis- F laying" diminution in siz or" values, t is on the 1000-foot level, and is the best ore body ever opened ia this mine, and will compare favorably with anv ever found in the district. That it forms a most gratifying adjunct to the resources of the Bingham Consolidated eompanr (owner) goes without saving. The date of the proposed meeting of the Lower Mammoth stockholders has been postponed until November 8, when a vote will be taken on a proposition to increase the capital stock from 150,000 to 800,000 shares. ; The Little Chief Minfng company, has purchased the engine, boiler and other machinery which was nntil recentlv used at the fcilver King Consolidated mine at Park City. The Little Chief company is also figuring npon buying the snaft-bouse snaft-bouse of the Blue Bird company, near Diamond. With a new shafthouse and new machinery the Little Chief company com-pany will be in splendid condition to not only handle the ore which is now exposed, but to continue the search to a. greater depth. The shaft, which is now down 800 feet, will be sunk 200 feet deeper. At several points upon the 800-foot level the eompanr has encountered encoun-tered a character of rock which led those familiar with the mine to believe that they were right above a large ore body, and for that reason. Superintendent Superin-tendent Hannifin is anxious to explore the ground at a greater depth. The figures sent to the newspapers from Tintic regarding the number of cars of ore shipped by the Carisa company com-pany during last week are said by Manager Man-ager H. 8. Joseph to have been erroneous. errone-ous. Instead of the three as given by this report, the Carisa company sent in during the week -a total of eleven cars of ore. Superintendent Ed Hoffman of the company confirmed these latter figures. fig-ures. "Both of these gentlemen are pleased in everv way with the condition of the mine. They state that it never was in better condition, and that the mine is producing at the rate of over a million and a quarter pounds of copper per annum. - vv . |
