 THE HOME of the DIVIDEND PAYERS

The great Tintic mining district stands in a class by itself in Utah in the matter

of the production of high grade ore. The weekly output from the Tintic

mines is about 150 carloads, or nearly 15,000,000 pounds, making a

total of about 750,000,000 pounds of ore annually. In the pro­

r
duction of this amount of ore and in the handling of develop­
ment work at the various mines and prospects, about

2500 men are employed, and to whom are dis­

tributed in the neighborhood of $200,000

monthly, or about $2,000,000

annually. These figures tell the

story of Tintic's prosperity.

 Introductory
The publisher offers no apology for this pictorial introduction to the Tintic Mining" District. Had this
mineral region been located in a boom state like Nevada, its praises would have been heralded from the Atlantic
to the Pacific; its mineral resources would long ago have received the consideration which they so justly
merit; and the fact that Tintic has made good for the past forty years, and that its ore production is now better
and greater in yolume than ever, would indicate that in permanence and stability it is entitled to be numbered
among the leading gold and silver mining camps of the golden west. Other camps have dazzled by the bonanza
days and have flickered and gone out like a sky-rocket; but the old reliable Tintic has gone on through all the
vicissitudes of metal mining' until it now has to its credit the enormous sum of $75,000,000 in dividends, In
1909 its dividend record was over $3,OOO,OOO-this being more than one-third of the total amount paid by all
of the Utah mines for that period,
The Tintic Mining District is located about 85 miles south of Salt Lake City and is in Juab and Utah
counties, the mountains of the district being a part of the Oquirrh range. The first mining location was made by
Provo prospectors who found the Sunbeam ledge, near Silver City, in the south end of the district. A mining
district was immediately organized and since that time the Tintic 1\1 ining District has grown and flourished
into a splendid mining community, with a popUlation of ever 8,000 people.
For reference purposes the district is generally di\'ided into three sections; the south, central and eastern
sections-the south end being the oldest producing part of the district and embracing the camps of Silver City
and Diamond; the central portion including the cities of Eureka and Mal11111oth, while the eastern section contains
such well known mines as the Iron 1JI0ssom, Colorado, Sioux, East Tintic Dev. and others.
Generally speaking the f( 1J'1llation in the central 'and eastern portions of the district consists
of beds of limestone, folded and tilted and in many instances broken up by the eruptive forces which produced
the fissuring and the hea \ y mineralization of this region. On the western side of Eureka is the great vein
known as the Centennial-Eureka, Eureka Hill, Bullion-Beck, Gemini veiL, which carries exceptionally high
values in silver, lead, an<1 copper and as it breaks to the southwest in the direction of the Grand Central and
Mammoth mines, shows wonderful deposits of high grade gold ore. The old Mammoth mine has a wonderful
record as a gold producer and is still a heavy shipper of the precious metal. Its near neighbor, the Grand
Central, has much gold in its copper ores, together with its silver lead product. Upon the east side of the

3
 district are the wonderful mines which have brought "Uncle Jesse" Knight into prominence as a mining man­
the Beck Tunnel, the Coloraclo, the Iron Blossom and the Hum hug-with a score or more of other properties
which are expected to soon take their places among the producers. The romance of mining has been well illus­
trated in thc history of Mr. Knight and will become a fascinating page when the history of Tintic is writtcn.
From a poor prospe~tor to a millionaire is a short story when you happen to strike it rich in Tintic. \Vhcn a
minc is founel in this district and is developed it makes every stockholder, who has a reasonable amount of
stock, independent for life. In the Centcnnial-Eureka mine, during the early history of the company and while
it was struggling for existence, one hundrcd dollars invested in treasury stock would have netted in dividends
up to the timc of the sale of the mine to the Cnited States company the sum of $16,000.00, and the stock would
have brought $14,000.00 in addition tp the dividends. In all $30,000.00 would have been the profits from an
investmcnt of $100.00. It is current history that Jesse Knight had not even the $100.00 to invest, that he was
turned down by his friends, and that his wonderful pluck and energy combined with the pick and drill won out
where many others would have faltered and failed. I n addition to the mines named above the east side- of
the district contains such properties as the Provo, Iron King, Tintic Standard, Eureka Lily, Grutil, Big Hill
and many others. l\lany of the prospects in this section are full of promise to the mining man who has studied
out the "indications" of his property and the persistent work and development which are now going on will
surely bring in new producers which may rival in richness the famed Colorado, Iron Blossom and Sioux.

 Tintic's Past and .Future
By C. E. Huish.
Tlalf a ccntury ago old Chief "Tintic" anc! his tribe of Ute Indians were the sole inhabitants of what i'i
(oday "nl' "f thc richest belts of mincral ground not only in Utah, but in the entire west. The "reclmen" found
thi~ section greatly to their liking: therc lVas \\'atcr anc! an abundance of feed for their ponies with game emlllgh
in the 1llountain~ to furnish food for the fa1llous olel chief and his followers. The redmen reigned supreme
throughout this section fifty years ag'o anel might have held undispnted possession until this day had it not been
for the disc()\cry of mineral. Gold i:; the magnet which draws mCll of all classes and stations in life, men of
\\'('alth and learning and men who are poor in worldly goods and whosc education has been gained as they
struggled with the stern problems of life. All join in the rush to the new land of gold. So it was with the Tintic
district. There was 110 doubt the usual excitement and stampede for the new "diggings." Thc early history of
the Tintic district was not unlike the early history of other mining camps except that it marked the beginning of
a permanent growth which has continued for over forty years and promises to continue for as many more. As
the party of prospectors who staked the first claim in Tintic laid the foundation for this great mining district so
has the money which has since poured out from the mines of Tintic in what appears to be an inexhaustable
stream been the foundation for many of the great business entcrprises of the state. l\lany fortunes have been
made in Tintic mincs and to those mines more than to any other one thing, Salt Lake, the bea11tiful metr,\polis
of the Eocky :\fountain region, owes her palatial resideuces, her magnificent b11siness blocks, her solid banking
an cl III e rcan ti le concerns, and scores of ot her improvements.
Tintic Illines produce practically all of the metals founo in this country and there never has been a time
sincc the a(]n'nt of the miner with the pick and shovel that the mines failed to come forward with their heavy
t()Jlllagc of orc-the record for prod11ction being continuous and 11nhrnken. D11ring the past forty years many
other call1ps have spr11ng into prominence and some have made good, others have occupied the center of the
stage for a few short years and then passed ont of existence witho11t any of the pomp and splendor which
marked their hirth. Mining excitcment,; han: come and gone during that period, hut Tintic, a district about
which but little is written, g'oes plugging alung in the same old way, producing train load after train load of
ore and paying millions upon lllillions in dividends and when we review the history of this sectiCjl for the past
iew years and learn of thc new mines which are being opened 11]), the large amount of ore yet in' sight in the old
producers and the splendid prospects for opening up new ore bodies, who can say but what the district is just
at this time in its very infancy ane! only starting out upon its career of ore production.

 Eureka City
Ettreka City is the great center of all business operations in the Tintic ~Iining District. Its location is
characteristic of most mining towns, the main street and residence portions being in an east and west gulch,
Oil either side of which tower tbe bill,; \vhich have made the Tintic Di~trict famons for its mineral riches. In
lS()3 the st raggling mining town beca11le a city of the third class under the law~ of Utah, with Captain Hugo
I )CPrL'Zill, ')ne of the old-time 1llining 1I1en of the camp, as the fir;.;t 1I1ayor: and since that time a city government
ha;.; bCCll in force and many needed i11lprovements have been 11lade for the benefit and comfort of the people
\\ho reside within it;.; limits. ,\ t thc pre~ent time a first-class ~y.~tC11l of sewerage ha~ been c011l11lcnced, and this
Il,ill he followed hy cement sidewalk;.; and an improved water systelll. The Volunteer Fire Department is a
splendid organization and does it:-; \Iork under city auspices. Churche~ and schools are well repre~ented and
iraternal societies arc numerous and in a healthy condition. 1\0 mining town has a better reputation for law
and order than Eureka City. Among' the churches may be noticed the Catholic, Latter-day Saints, ::-'Iethodist,
Episcupal, and napt ist ()r.~anizati()n~, each owning their own place of worship. I n fraternal circles, the local
Elks Lodge, kllO\\n throughout the country as "Seven-E.e\'en," has just completed a handsome two-story Elks
h01lle, on the :\[ ain street: the ()dd Fellows ha\'e a strong organization and abo own their own hall; and the
:\1 incrs' l ~ni()n ha I'C a fine t wo-st()ry c('ment huilding, completed and paid for.

Eureka TTill. the first mine discovered in Eureka gulch, and well rememhered for the richness of its silver ores
found upon the surface ,,(lme thirty years ago. Parts of the old fort built for the intimidation of "Jumpers" who

by a chain of open cuts and tunnels where leasers are stilI profitably occupied. Deposits of rich horn silver ore
were founel here and there along this outcrop, and during the early days disputes sometimes arose over the
ownership, resulting in hand to hand encounters for possession. The rcmains of an old stone fort are still to
be seen on the point of the hilI where certain claimants held forcible possession by keeping guns trained on
the attacking party.
Sterry Hunt, the celebrated scientist and mining expert, once described the mines of this part of the dis­
trict as large irreg'ular deposits in limestone, connected together like strings of sausages. During the early

to find the ore b()dies going straight down. In 1876, after six year:; of ups and down and changing of ownership
the property lIas solei under the sheriffs hammer, passing into the hands of the present owners, who founel the
orc going to the depths and realized handsomely on their I"enture. Encouraged by the success of the Eureka
Ilil!. other parties who had located surrounding claims did extensive development work, the resnlts of which
have been the three great mines adjoining the Eureka HiI1,~the Gemini on the north, the BuI1ion-Beck on the
west and the Centennial-Eureka on the south. The total area of mining ground in the Eureka Hill group is only
twenty-seven acres, extralateral rights having been wail"ed uncler compromise agreements with the Bullion­
Beck, and the management claims that for every acre of area there is more than a mile of underground work­
ings. The fact that for more than thirty-six years this small tract has been a steady shipper and is still pro­
d\1cing at a profit, testifies more than words to the extraordinary possibilities of the limestone zone .
.\11 of the ores found in the limestoncs of Tintic are very siliceous; those of the Eureka HiIl arc a mixture
of the copper-gold ores characterizing the Centennial-Eureka mine and of the lead-silver ores characterizing the
Bullion-I\eck and (;emini mines. The prc:-;ence of all four of these metab in yarying stages of oxiclation was for
many years a stumhling block in the way of s\1ccessfully treating the 1m\" grade orcs, hut the problem finally
f(lund a solutio1l in the immense combination miIl which was huilt by the cU1l1pany more than twelye years ago.
Thi.~ lllill has not heen in operation since l C)04, a,; the company has a' fair contract with one of the Salt Lake
valley smelters for the output of the mine', making it advantageous tu market the ore promptly while all of the
\'alllable llletals arc seIling at high prices. rather than to hold it back for the miIl and take chances on a faIling
metal market. For several years past the ore has been mined under a leasing system which has given satis­
faction til the company amI has distrihuted large bonuse,; among the lessees. The general operations of the
cOl1lpany are uncler the direction uf the secretary, George .\. Riter. while the mine itself is under the immecliate

 The Great Centennial Eureka Mine. (Blue RockJ

The gTeatest mine in the Tintic District is the famous aIel Centennial Emeka, in fact this is one of the most
wonderful honanzas in the entire state, sencling- out as it does in the neighhorhood of fifty carloads of are week­
ly. The output for the year 1909 being- 110,000 tons. Other mines in the state are producing a heavier tonnage
oi ore hut when the character of the orc is taken into consideration the Centennial Eureka mine is almust in a
class hy itself.
It was something like thirteen years ago when the United States Mining Company purchased this mine pay­
ing the original owners what at that time appeared to he an unusually large sum of money. The price was
$1 JOO,OOO.OO and some of the hest informed mining men in the state. knowing that pre\'ious to the sale the
mine hat! paiel out a pretty larg-c SU111 in dividends, preclicted that the L"nited States people would have to
hustle til get their llloney back. This was thirteen years ago and since that time the Centennial-Enrcka mint'
under 1he careful management of the officials of the Unitcd States C'o111pany has produced a;)proximatcly
S25.000,()(J0 worth of ore. It is one of the most valuable possessions of this great mining concern and while the
cOlllpany is somewhat reticent about gi\'ing out inforlllation it is generally under:;toou that there is l1lore than
S.z.3,(X)O.()()() \\"orth ()f ore now ill ,;ight in tile nnciergronnd workings of thi,.; famons old bonanza.
The orc deposits in the C'l'ntennial-Eureka mine have heen worked snccessfl111y to a depth of 2000 feet and
appear to be going down t() much gTeater depth. in fact it is al1110st a cinch that these illlmense bodies of hig'h
grade nrc dn extend hUlldreds of feet below the deepest point at which work is now being carried on. Some of
the best nrc ever 11ncovered in this 111ine has heen fOl1nd upon the lowest levels and for the purpose of going
aiter the ()re bodies helow the "\Iater IL'\"el," which in ~his property i" about 2200 feet helow the surface, the
C()1llpany i,.; now installing one of the largest electric pU111P"; that has C\'er been placed in a mine in this state.
This 1110nster ptllllp will haye a capacity of ftllly 1000 gallons of \\'ater per minute. Of cotlrse the officials of
the cOl1lpany do not anticipate heing calleel upon to handle that a1110unt of water but they are going- after the are
below the 2000 level and when it came to installing: a ptlmp they purchased one larg'e enough for all future pur­
p()se. The electric power for the operation of this ptlmp \vill be generatcd at a power plant Ivhich the company
is now cOllstrncting ncar the minc. "\ short ti111e ago the company c011lpleted a 3UOO-foot t11nnel which taps

The Yankee Consolidated 1\1 ining company was organized in 1901 by the con,;olidation of the old Yankee
with the north half of the Humhug- claim, with a capital stock of $300,000.00 in ,;hare,; of $1.00 each. In 1908
the company took over the Lake View and ::\Iountain View and Contact claims and increased the capital stock
to $1,000,000.00 the par value remaining the same.

Since organization the company has paid in dividends $182,SOO and has heen shipping ore all the time
with the exception of a few lT10nths of very low metal values in 1908.

For further development of the property, which had heen worked previously hy means of a tunnel, a
three-col11partment "haft wa" sunk recently to a depth of 900 feet and stations cut at the various levels from
which prospecting work was done hy means of drifts, cro,;s-cuts and raises. As the capacity of the equipment
\\as not sufficient for sinking further. the hoarcl of directors authorized the purchase of hoisting machinery with
a capacity of 2,500 feet. \Vhcn thi,; machinery is installed, "inking will beg'in to greater depths, while, in the
meanwhile prospecting will cll11tinue on the upper level;-;.

 The Sioux Consolidated Mine.-·The Sioux Consolidated Mining Company is one of the oldest in the Tintic District and the mine was a heavy
Shipper many years ago. It was not until the big Colorado ore zone was tapped, however, that the mine gained its present prominence. It was early
in June, 1908, that this large body of ore was opened up, and within a month or two the mine was one of the heaviest dividend payers in the district.
Since that time the shareholders have been drawing down dividend money at regular intervals. At the present time C. E. Loose, of Provo and one
of the best known mining men in the state, Is the general manager of the Sioux as well as the Grand Central, Carisa and Iron King mines. W. D.
Loose, his brother, is superintending the work at the Sioux.

Thic, exchange l)egan opCTations late in the year 1895. ,\t first ih operations were not very extensive,
althc)\lg'h 'Illite a list ()f stock \\'as entered upon the board and early in the following year considerable business
lVas tran:iacted, There was, however, such a quiet period in the SUlllmer that the exchange took a yacation for
t WI) 1lll)nths. I :l1sincss then was <lllitc activc until the summer of 1897. The vacation of this year continued for
allll"st threc 111onths, ft was 11car the closc of the year before much activity was 1llanifested. In the early part
"f l!)()R there was a \'Cry largely incrcased amount of bttsiness, and the exchangc 1Jcgan to take rank on account
()f its crJ1lscrvati\'eness and on account of the opportunity offered to make a market inr our mining stock
securttles. Tn this year the exchange was incorporated, Thc hl1siness was carried ()n by the incorporation until
nearly two ycars ag() when the 1llemhers of the exchange furtned them:;el\'es intu an associatiun. During 1909,
3-1-,344,242 shares of stock changed hands for which $17,2So,633.9S was paid.
The exchang-c business advanced rapidly and thc reputation for square dealing and conservative man­
agc11lent became alll1o:;t national if not international. Such was the standard estalJli:;hed that prominent men
wcrc reaely to givc a:;:;istance and show their appreciation of the worth of the institution. This was especiaIly
truc of that puhlic spiritcd citizcn. the Honorahle Samnel :!\'ewhouse. To show his appreciation of the work of
the exchange, he frcely offered a very yaluable lot on Exchange Place 80x85 feet and facing Cactus street. On
this lot the Exchang-e has erected the beautiful anc! ornamental building, costing ahout $70,000, which is repre­
scntcd in the cut. This building stands as a monumcnt to the energy and good-standing of the Exchange, and
is a worthy cxpression of the appreciation of the favor of 1\1r. Ncwhouse. It is an ornamcnt to the city and well
adapted to the purposcs of thc Exchange. In every way it speaks well for the architcct, l\fr. J. c. Craig, and
thc contractor, Mr. T. J. Armstrong.

 Lower Mammoth Mine at Mammoth
T.ower Mammoth mine is just now engaged in an extcnsiye campaign of development \\ork and gives
promise of becoming one of the largest mines in the Tintic district. Recently the main shaft was dropped down
to a depth of 2,000 feet and some large ore deposits are now being developed upon the 1,600, 1,800 and 2,000
levels. The output at the present time is about 800 tons monthly with a force of forty men. In the near future
the output will no doubt be greatly increased. The mine is managed by John Dern of Salt Lake, who is also
President; J. J. Stewart is Vice-President, and E. C. Coffin is Superintendent.
