Show Lincoln Mine Now Operating Under Utah Charter The Lincoln Mining company, organized under the laws of the i state of Utah, has recently re-: re-: ceived the charter under which it will operate in the future with , general offices in Milford. The officers of-ficers of the corporation are as follows: Harry A. Hirst, president; presi-dent; Louis A. Sanford, vice-president and general manager; Hil-' Hil-' man L. Robinson, treasurer; Walter Wal-ter C. Wellman, secretary; Henry Churchman, director (completing the board of five); Samuel M. Mc-Munn, Mc-Munn, comptroller and auditor. The Lincoln mine, reputedly the oldest in Utah historical records, was re-opened last October after having been closed down for over 30 years. Operations have been actively carried on since that time under the direction of Mr. Sanford and the property has been completely com-pletely reconditioned for further and greatly enlarged operations. New equipment has been installed and the mine placed on a producing produc-ing basis, in addition to which further prospecting and proving is being done daily. The actual de-watering of the property was commenced May 1 and has continued without interruption. inter-ruption. However, due to the temporary tem-porary heavy inflow of water, additional ad-ditional pumping equipment is now being installed and will be kept in reserve at all times to insure in-sure the safety of the underground under-ground workings in the future. It is the intention of the new corporation to develop the property prop-erty to its fullest extent and to again make the Lincoln one of the state's leaders in the production of metals. Every effort will be made to this end and the company hopes for its fulfillment in the near future. The Lincoln is primarily a lead-silver lead-silver property of the sulphide variety va-riety but zinc and copper often are found in good quantities as well as important gold values. Large bodies of ore were formerly encountered en-countered but the officers of the company are firmly of the belief that the main bodies are still untouched. un-touched. All geological theories bear them out in this belief. Mr. Sanford and Mr. McMunn will remain in Milford as residents of this community but the other officers and stockholders in the east will be frequent visitors. At the present time here are 12 men employed at the mine but double thut force will be employed in a couple of weeks or by August 1 at the latest |
