Volume XX Mining Company Won In Llajr Secure Honey For Tintic Road Highway which extends from Eureka to East Tintic properties may be surfaced and widenedat countys expense. Grant Snyder of the Eureka Lily and other Tintle properties was In the diatrlet during the past week and ilatea that an effort la now being made to aecure, from Utah county, money needed to surface and widen the wagon road which leads Into the East Tintle section from Eureka. The road was buUt lest year and owing to the tact that funds were limited j J It was necessary to economise In the construction of the road, which Is used more than any other highway of that section. The road gives Tintic people a direct route to the Eureka Lily, Tintic Standard, Eureka Bullion, East Tintic Coalition and other properties- and with the expenditure of a few thousand dollars it could he made fit for travel throughout the year. Mr. Snyder states that the commissioners of Utah county have decided upon a special road tax to he spent on this piece of road and also on the roads near Elberta. Elmer Bergman's Death Followed An Operation Elmer K. Bergman, the SB year old son of Mrs. John Bergman, died last Sunday at one of the Salt Lake hospitals following an operation for appendicitis. The young man's death was very sudden, only a few . of his friends knowing of his Illness. He had .for some years been employed in one. of the Tintic mines and late last week suffered from an attack Local physicians ordered his Immediate removal to Balt Lake and no time was lost la operating. He lived but a thereafter, The remains shipped to the funeral Bantaquln for Tuesday under taking place tl ndertaker Wallace the .direction of Eureka. John Bunnell, also of this city, was one of the speakers. The deceased leaves his mother, brothers and sisters and other relatives as weU as a large circle of friends to mourn his untimely death. .. o .

The boys were up before Judge Rasmuson, the Juvenile court officer for this district, on Wednesday morning, being arcompanled by thdr parents. The boys admitted their guilt and told of the various houses they had entered, securing small sums of money and liquor. Other things of value were not taken. Judge Rasmuson sentenced all of the boys to the state reform school but allowed them to go under suspended sentence with the understanding that the first time one of them gets Into trouble of a similar nature he will be sent to the Ogden school without ceremony or preliminary hearing. The Judge delivered a strong address to the boys and their parents which cannot help but bring all to a realisation of the serious situation confronting boys who, at such tender years, launch out on careers. Local officers have been asked to keep these boys under surveillance. A 85 fine was levied in each case with the understanding that the money Is not to be paid by the parents but is to be taken from the earnings of the boys, who are given until October 1st to make payment. The parents are supposed to assist In the collection of the fines, limiting the expenditures of the boys for amusements and keeping them at work and out of mischief. Mammoth Company's Dump Ore Worth Immense Sum Ons of the Salt Lake smelters is now trying to make a deal for the big mUl dump of the Mammoth Mining company. There is a fortune In the old mill dump and sooner or later some one is going to take it off the hands of the Mammoth company. Figures which are on file In the office of the mining company show that the dump contains about 850,000 tons and that the material will average close to 87 per ton. Officials of the company have always favored an out and out sale of the dump material and none of the smelting companies has yet submitted an offer which looks good. If the Mammoth people could get a couple of dollars per ton for the ore t would mean about half a million dollars for the shareholders of this old time company, who have been taking down profits for more than a score of years. The deal which is now pending will likely be settled one way or the other within the nexf ten days and It will not be at all surprising If arrangements are made for the Immediate shipment of the big dump. The case of the Tintle Delaware Mining company against the 8alt Lake, Fillmore and Kanosh Railroad company, et. al., was decided In the district court at Provo Saturday in favor of the plaintiff. The suit was instituted by the mining company to recover 85.000, and Interest on money alleged to have been advanced to the representatives of the railroad company for the purpose of assisting in the building of s railroad from the Balt Lake Route In Millard county to the Tintle Delaware mine and other properties In the West Tintic district. The verdict was for 14,800 and interest at per cent per annum from July I, 1118, together with costa of court. George W. Craig, president of the company, and Alva Nelson, secretary of the company, were held responsible under the decision of the court; while F. D. Kimball, George E. Robison, G. J. Carpenter, W. L. Bier-suc- h, W. 8. McCormick and Alva Robison, directors and stockholders of the company, were not held as liable in the case. Notice of intention to appeal the case to the supreme court was given by the defendants' attorney. Last Sunday Marshal Cronin ceeded In arresting two of the Number 39 Drifting On 600 Foot Lore! Of Victoria Gold After sinking to a depth of 600 feet drifting has been taken up at the Victoria Gold Mining companys of North Tintic, this property, ground being worked under an option held by the officers of the North Beck Mining company. The surface showing of the' Victoria Is equal to anything In the North Tintle section, In fact some ore has already been encountered in this property, and the piece of development work now under way may possibly result In the opening of a much larger deposit of ore than any yet found In that section.' The North Beck people are also busy with the campaign of work which Is being handled through their deep shaft. Edward Packard, who now controls the Gemini mine at this place, was In the camp during the early part of the past week, being on one of his periodical bualneaa trips to the west. Mr. Packards home Is in the east and his visits to Utah are made about once bach year. With him mining Is but n,slde Issue and he never takes fatf trouble to investigate underground conditions, that those In feeling confident charge are handling things In the most approved manner and being entirely satisfied with the earnings of his mines. Mr. Packard was shown about the district by Manager Jack-so- n McChrystal of the Gemini and Dr. A. H. McChrystal, both of whom are old time friends. Standards Output For July 100 Cars Mine is doing good work 11 along the line and heavy shipments are in order; new mill may be ready in Oct. Tintle Standards output of ore for the month of July will be equal to that of June when a total of 100 carloads were forwarded to the smelter. The mine Is working with a much smaller force than Is usually needed, owing to the scarcity of labor in that section of the district, but notwithstanding this faet good progress is being made with the development of the ore deposits. Bupt. John Westerdahl states that many surface Improvements are now under way. A number of new buildings, among them an assay office and superintendents residence, are being constructed. About the usual amount of prospecting is being carried on and the work In the south end of the property may possibly develop something of importance in the near future. Some bunches of good ore have been encountered In the east drift. .Capitalisation Of Eureka Metallurgical Co. Increased Yesterday afternoon the directors and other shareholders of tha Eureka Metallurgical company held a meeting In this city and decided to increase the capitalisation of the company from 860,000 to 8100,000. At the same meeting It was derided to extend the option recently given to John Hays Hammond, who will likely take over a substantial block of the stock and assist In financing the company. The Eureka Metallurgical company j The Beck Shaft Ooce More In Good Condition Znma People Put Csr Of Ore On Market This Week Is deserving of commercial success by reason of the persistent research work done. With but slender finances the company has kept at work and almost three years ago discovered the correct procedure for the recovery of the values of oxidised ores. Lack of finances has prevented the construction of an efficient plant. It will bo fortunate for the Tintle District to have such able and such Independent concerns develop, and thereby make valuable the large quantities of lower grade oxidised ores. The local company has developed Its own processes and tested them in A shipment of ore, whleh Is the second from that property, was sent out during the week by the Zuma company. This ore was taken from the 800 level and from points a short distance above this level. Manager P. J. Fennell says that the car contains about 45 tons and that the ora is a lead-silvproduct from which the company should get a nice sum.

Team the reconstruction building at Mammoth, Is "r Melvin Shriver, whose baseball playing has attracted a lot of attention during the last few years, has Just been offered a place on the Balt Lake team In the Pacific Coast League. The wire arrived a few days ago, while Mr. Shriver was out of the city, and on his return he sent a message to Manager Ernie Johnson asking him for terms. It Is barely possible that he will report to the Salt Lake team in the near future and those who are familiar with the playing of the local man say that he will experience no difficulty In making good in the Coast League. His position is second base, or any place on the infield, and he is able to hold up his end In the batting. Shriver played with some of the best ball players in the country during the time he was at Camp Lewis and this spring he was a member of the well known University of team which played Pennsylvania many important games with the Mg schools of the east Since his return to Utah he has been playing ball .with one of the eastern Utah teams. rd - The shipment of ore whleh last week was credited to the Tintle Drain Tunnel was taken from the old Cornucopia mine, which Is now a part of the drain tunnel project. At the Cornucopia the work is being handled under lease held by tbs Tin-ti- e Mining company. The mining Industry is battling for existence right now and everyone Interested in its welfare should work tooth and nail for Its prosperity. The west should be a unit for the gold bonus and every other law favorable to the miner. Congress should be made to realise that the miner Is a real factor in the advancement of the nation. ar RAYS MINERS ARE SCARCE. Henry Spriggs, of Park City, who was here this week, says that tbe labor scarcity which Is effecting all mining camrfi of the west is a serious handicap to operations at the big mines of Park City. Mr. Spriggs says there is work in that camp tor four or five hundred men. Knights Wfll Stop Operations At Drain Tunnel sessments at the present time and this to about the only way that money could be obtained with whleh to continue the work, as a bloek of treasury stock cannot be sold to admeans that work will be stopped at vantage. It is thought that conditions tbe Ruby Hill shaft, which has been will improve within the next tow sunk to a depth of about 700 feet months and that by fall things wUl also that work on the main tunnOll running along In the usual will be held up for the present. faifttoft at the Tintle Drain Tunnel The Knight people say that they Quite a number of the new prohave no Intention of abandoning the perties of this district are experiencdrain tunnel project.
