Two drifts are being run toward1 Bonanza Bo-nanza Flat territory on the 1400-foot level, one a continuation of what is known as Scott's drift and the other on the strike of the back ledge. Large bodies of ore have been opened up in both these drifts, but only as much as was necessary to run the drifts has been taken out. Ore has also been found In a number of places In the McSorley. drift on- the 1200-foot level and the drift on the 1300 is also looking very wen..' The bins' at the mill have been overflowing over-flowing for months and the ore. which has from necessity been extracted has been piled on the dump above the mill where it can readily be handled when the mill Is started up again. The drifts are all advancing at -the rate of from 140 to 206 feet a month; and It will not be long- before the. Bonanza Flat territory, terri-tory, which Is counted on to reveal so much riches, will have been reached and explored. Of course' the progress depends somewhat on the -water en- . countered and the character of the j ground, and It Is possible to run only ! two shifts on account of the lack of ventilation, but satisfactory progress is j being made. - The management of the property cannot can-not be Induced to speak of the extent or value of the ore bodies which, have been encountered, but it is known that they are as big as any which have ever been opened, up in the mine.

The mill is now handling about S50 tons of Ore a day and the month's production of gold bullion bul-lion will in all probability exceed $65,-,000. $65,-,000. , I - The mine is looking better than ever before and is not only responding easily eas-ily to all the demands made upon it by the mill but new ore bodies are constantly con-stantly being opened up and a reserve has been established which will Insure the operation of the mill for years. 1 ' . Mr. Bamberger was much surprised , -' at the activity displayed in southern Utah and Nevada and says that val-, val-, uable finds have been made in districts formerly supposed to be barren. I Mr. Swindler and his family, who are now in this city, have not been in good health for some time and he will probably prob-ably take a much needed vacation for two or three weeks.

C " . . 1 x As the Eureka Hill is using only thlr-' thlr-' ty of Its battery of 100 stamps In the company's mill, an arrangement bas been entered into with the Gemini j of Tintlc by which the Immense arrount of low-grade ore which has been broken bro-ken in the mining pf shipping; ore and which is on the dump in great quantities, quanti-ties, will be treated by the Kureka Hill milL I Before any quantity of the ore in han-' han-' '' died a trial run will be made on th ore at the Eureka Hill mill, and if this is : satisfactory, the active handling of 'Gemini ore will follow.

There Is not a property In the State which Is more completely equipped or " mora carefully and economically run MAMMOTH RESULTS. '', The Mammoth of Tintlc has already drawn down over $33,000 from ore shipments ship-ments this month and from present indications in-dications it looks as though the month would easily bring the money paid into the treasury up to .the $100,000 mark. The operating cost of the mine is about $13,000 per month. . The company has another lot of thirty tons on the market on Thursday which shows characteristic character-istic values. .
