XU EUREKA, JUAB COUNTY, Planning New Work For Imtic Delaware West Tintic company, which has been idle for long time, may come in for some extensive development work. J. A. Holdaway of Provo, Richard Jonea of Salt Lake and Joseph Hatch of Heber City returned on Wednesday after a trip oat Into the West Tintic section where Jhey made an Inspection of the Untie Delaware property on which work has Just been resumed. Mr. Holdaway slates that the work which Is under way there is being handled by the Ekker brothers, the locators of the claims, who also own other ground in the same section. If an extensive campaign of development work is decided upon, and this seems quite probable, Mr. Holdaway will no doubt take' charge. He Is a capable mining man and has had many years of experience In various parts of the state, being connected with the Sioux Cons, company at the time the shaft was started on the Phoebe 8. elalm where a continuation of the Beck Tunnel and Colorado ore was encountered. While at the property early in the week the visitors thoroughly sampled the ore which Is now exposed in various places and Just as soon as they get assays on the samples they will be In position to map out a program for the future development Of the ground. The company was recently reorganised with Joseph Hatch as president and a meeting has been called for the 8th of August. Higher Price For Coal Becomes Effective Today Local coal dealers have announced the recall of the 40 cent reduction in the price of coal which was put into effect some months ago in an effort to stimulate summer buying for storage purposes. The price of coal is now $8.00 a ton. In Eureka there is not near as much coal stored as there was a year ago and there is Directors Of East Crown Point Will Meet Saturday Arrangements have been made to hold a meeting of the directors of the East Crown Point Mining company, at the Eureka bank, on Saturday, August 2nd. New directors for this company were elected a few weeks ago and the meeting which has been called will enable these directors to organise and map out a plan for the development of the companys ground. It is hardly Ukely that an extensive campaign of work will be launched but some, assessment work must he performed during the present year and all of the new officers favor doing this work at such a point and In such a manner that it will have a permanent value to the company. In other words a new working shaft may possibly be started and then if the showing Justifies it and the finances of the company will permit this work will continue even after the required amount of assessment work has been finished. New Ore Being Opened In The Lehi-Tinti-o Mine Manager George Nichols of the reports an unsually fine ore showing in one of the drifts which Is being driven from the new tunnel. The ore was broken into only a few days ago and as it appears to be making below the tunnel level it may be followed by a wlnse as soon as the small hoist can be brought down from the level above. The ore is a lead-silvproduct of good grade and the deposit has all the of permanency. Mr. Nichols feels sure that the point at which he is working is very near a large ore deposit. Regarding the new work planned he says that the for the Lchi-Tlntmachines will soon be cutting out the upper portion of the new shaft. The company Intends to sink about twenty or thirty feet, erect the buildings and Install, the needed machinery and then contract BOO feet of shaft work. ear-mar- ks lc Copper Advance Attracts . v a coal famine-dvr-- 1 Attention Of Investors Ing the winter months it the railroads should fall down in' the delivery of fuel to local dealers.

J'. The writer, and no doubt everyone else, knows that the members of our city administration have the right to deprive the oople of Sunday amusements, in fact on the Sabbath day they can close everything but the prescription counter of a drug store. The commissioners at Salt Lake and the city officers in every other city have the. Bame right, but we have not hoard that they arc going to exercise it in order to crack someone they don't like. In fact throughout this state, and in every other state for that mutter, we find that liberal interpretation is put upon Sunday closing ordinances and that men who are elevated to office forget their petty troubles and operate civic affairs for the benefit of the majority, instead of trying to cripple their communities and to deprive the public of lawful amusements, or of the privilege of trammeling a limited amount of business, provided the said amusements and business are operated in a decent and orderly fashion. Most everyone also knows that the laws are made for the protection and safety of the general public and that they are not placed on the statute books to lje used as a weapon against decent people who are fortunate enough to have won the enmity of. gome narrow-minde- d official wftjporarily is clothed with which tlie will stnpTnfln Aim at the first oppor-unitvoters lower Machinery For Tintic Drain Tunnel Company Plant from the Opex will be moved into East Tintic; the work of sinking shaft will be taken up at once. That the Knight people intend to lose no time with the development of that section of ground through which they are driving their drain tunnel is evident from the fact that they have already arranged for the installation of a hoisting plant and compressor on the site of the new shaft. This shaft will be about 8000 feet to the southeast of the No. 1 workings of the Iron Blossom company. The hoist, which was formerly used at the Opex property In Mammoth, will be good for a depth of 2000 feet although the Drain Tunnel companys officers do not intend to sink more than 1600 feet. The compressor will be large enough for the operation of seven drills. Both machines will be electrically driven. At the site of the new shaft the Tintic Drain Co. will at once erect a boarding house, shaft house and other needed buildings, also a head-frametc., getting everything ready for shaft work on the completion of the power line and the installation of the machinery. large sum of money for pumping equipment only to learn that their pumps and water column were much too small to handle the flow of water which they developed In a few Their second months prospecting. attempt to develop something below the water level was handled in a much more modest fashion.
