"Electricity for Everything" Mining and Financial a S the end of the year approaches jy the mines of Utah are rising to their responsibilities and doing everything possible to garnish the statistical tables which will soon bo spread in the newspapers and mining publications. It is a reasonable pro diction that the stalstlcs will coin pare favorably with those of preceding years Great Increases in production and dividends, while gratifying enough at the time they are made, are not always the brightest harbingers of the future. They are like birthdays, tip to a certain point they represent a gain in strength and efficiency; beyond that point they measure a decline. In mining it is the unmlned ore that speaks 6f the future and figures on this point are unobtainable or vague and unsatisfactory. Only In a few cases Is it possible to measure ore in ad vance for one or more years. The porphyry coppers like the Utah, Ne vada Consolidated and Chino have this advantage because their ore Is spread out in the open air. But note the prices of the shares! The privilege of seeing just what a mine has in re serve is an expensive one and a luxury that few of the smaller investors can afford. Most of us will content our selves by watching the parade go by and avoid the big tent. To console ourselves we may reflect that, although the highnprlced shares may be the most certain Investments the cheaper ones furnish the most excitement. We get a liberal discount for the uncer tainties of underground mining. It is this uncertainty that makes the Tintic stocks such fascinating pur chases In the producing territory there Is always the fundamental as surance that If one goes far enough he will got an ore shoot, but the dis tance necessary and the extent of the shoot are things that one man can guess as well as another. The per sistence of the Tlntie properties in "coming back" warns every would-be prophet against pronouncing obituar ies. The funeral service has been read from time to time over almost every mine in Tintic, yet the camp has as many producers now as evor and is just entering upon an era of low grade mining that may continue for generations. Three good examples of the "come backs" are Lower Mammoth, May Day and the old Mammoth. The first two have taken the count so often that the floor of the mining stock exchange Is ful of dents, but they have alwayB come up, for the next round. Zinc has revived them this year; next year it may be silver, or gold or lead. In fact, May Day, It Is stated on good author ity, is now supplementing its zinc re sources with a new shoot of silver and lead nslnb northeasterly from the 1100 level. The vein is said to bo about ten feet wide and to contain In the few feet it has been followed, fair ly good shipping values. The ground above Js unexplored and the minora have no ideas how far the new body will rise. Estimates on the May Day's zinc tonnage vary from six months to two year's supply at the prevailing rate of production. One of the advantages of the company's position Is that a good deal of the zinc ore stands out boldly in the old drifts and stopes and ' can bo extracted with very little dead work. The Lower Mammoth, according to the latest reports, Is getting on its feet again. The zinc there is holding out well and furnishing the treasury with funds from which the cost of further prospecting and development may bo defrayed The Lower Mammoth's 1500 level runs into the Gold Chain, Tintic's youngest dividend payer, for several hundred feet and is now getting well into a body of low grade gold and silver ore on which there will be more than 700 feet of backs. The vein in which ore occurs comes from the Lower Mammoth and has furnished many a shipping carnival in that prop erty. The old Mammoth never has been out of ore entirely in the forty years of its existence, but it got close to the depth limit of profitable devel opment in its old workings and was being classed with the has-beens when It branched out into the hills and struck what virtually was a new mine with four hundred feet of prime stop ing ground In it. To demonstrate its rejuvenation it has just shelled out a $30,000 dividend with all the prodi gality of youth. A streak of high grade silver ore run ning a hundred ounces to the ton brought joy to the camp of the Colo rado Mining company this week and enabled the directors to post a thirty 'thousand dollar Christmas dividend with light hearts. The significance of the strike lay chiefly in the fact that it was made below the 300 level which has been considered the ground floor of the wonderful Colorado ore deposit. Visitors to the district say that the new lens dips with the hill toward the east. The trend of it attracted attention to Crown Point and created a demand for Crown Point shares Conservative miners point out that an ore body of such magnitude as the Colorado's was bound to have spurs and off-shoots and prefer to believe that the present discovery is such a spur rather than a tangential vein. But, spur or vein, the strike is good for all that can bo taken out of it and will add considerably to the average worth of the mines' output. To outward appearances the Sioux Consolidated is a dead one, but tho traders are very cautious about tak ing undue liberties with the corpse. The feeling Is prevalent that a resur rection is due any day. Sioux has had but two lives so far and it will bo a gross violation of all tho radiations of the district if It does not enjoy several more A far more promising candidate for eternal rest is tho Swansea Con. Its geological conditions are different .rom those of most other Tintic min ers and thero is less reason to pre dict a recurrence of paying ore shoots.
