Show news from the mines of tintic gintic st iron blossom shipping copper 10 of 1 during the past weel week the work opening a nice body of copper from the level of the ao 0 o I 1 vork ings of the iron blossom mine has been under N ay and everything indi cates that this property is to become a lery very heavy producer of copper there is now a full face of the copper rock on the and while the ore lc which has been mined will not go better than 10 per cent there are iea S sons to behe belien e that an average assay from the face today vi bill ill show f fully ally 20 per cent supt bupt charles zabriskie states that about 12 tons of this ore N carr carrying ing aiom fl om 8 to 10 per cent copper and some values in silver and gold will leave the mine today and that s within a very

repairs having been completed yesterday work is now progressing nicely in both the north and ana south drifts upon the level and with the pumps and other machinery in first class condition no farther further trouble is anticipated there has been a marked improvement in the north drift on the level dur ing the past few days and the ore which last week had pinched down to a few inches has again

the new machinery is all run ning very smoothly and the general condition of the mine could hardly be better shipment from new bullion A carload of silver lead ore will be forwarded to the smelter

water level something like feet of drifting has already been accomplished not withstanding the fact that the heavy flow of water has given a considerable amount of trouble just at present the water is under such control that it cin can be handled nicel with one unit althe large pumping plant and and this means that the flow which is being pu pumped to the surface does not ex coed gallons per minute
