The Eureka Hill, probably the oldest dividend payer in the state, signalized its fiftieth year as a producer by paying a dividend of $10,000. Of the mining districts of the state, Tintic had the greatest number of dividend payers, a total of seven. Utah Copper, a Bingham mine, paid more than 75 per cent of the total disbursements made by mining companies of the state. This company, also, enjoys the distinction of being one of the few copper producers in the United States to continue payment of dividends during the past year. The Tintic properties which were dividend payers during the past year were: The Chiefs Cons., Tintic Standard, Iron Blossom, Eureka Hill, Gold Chain, Grand Cehtral and Eagle and Blue Bell. During the past week four or fivo carloads of lime rock were shipped from the quarry of the Chief Cons. Mining company. The lime was shipped to the sugar company at Spanish Fork and to one of the smelters in the Salt Lake Valley. It is thought that within a very short time the Chief people will have conracts which will make necessary the continuous operation of the lime quarry. Manager P. J. Fennell states that the sinking operations at the property of the Zuma Mining company are moving along without Interruption and that the shaft now has a depth of 1100 fe&t. Some changes have taken place in the shaft during the past few weeks but it seems to be the opinion 11 of the Zuma officers that sinking should continue until the 1200 level is reached. With everything working smoothly at the property but very little time should be required to carry the shaft to its objective point and when the 1200 level is reached an development campaign will be mapped out which promises to make a paying mine of the Zuma. ex-tensi- Salt Lakes Newest and Latest ve CAFE Mines in all parts of the west have posted notices of a wage reduction of 50 cents per day, effective on the 16th of the present month.
