and prosperous future.

COMPANY,
Is situated 20 miles east OF Taylor, at
no great distance from the Utah line.
Over $3.50, QUO in geld have been taken
out in a small way by pan and rocker
from her gravel beds, which are re-
ported to have produced the largest
nuggets Of any camp in the Uni ed
States. Some of them worth from

The Osceola Gravel Mining Co. is a
Utah incorporation owned principally
by Messrs. Hampton, Godbe q Bige-

placerS OF this district in 1877. and
through their agent, Xavier ST. Pierre,
obtained by purchase and location

The com pany made an exhaustive
examination last season OF their deep
bars, which showed them Ia contain
gravel varying in value from 10 cents
to 81 % per cubic yard. This test is
conirmatory OF many hundreds that
have been made IN yearspast 10y tunnel
and shaft explorations. The unusual
SHOWS OF last season furnished the
"a of using a small hydraulic, by
which they washed from various
places over 10000 cubic yards OF
gravel.
oScEoLA QUARTZ MINES.
The gold bearing quartz belt is IL
miles long aud : miles wide. The
district is a network OF quartz veins,
many OF them excelling in richness

The Osceola, owned by tie same
parties, has a shaft on the ore body
1870 feet. About 500 tons worked
from this mine yielded S37 per ton
The vein is three feet wide, and
pitches south at al angle of 20 degrees.
The Crescent and Eagle mines, now
owned ty Messrs. Gilmer add Chand-
Ter, ave workings 10 a depth OF 300
feet. Several thousand tons OF ore
have been reduced from these mines,
The books OF the company show a re-

The Verde mine, owned by Messrs
Axle and Felsenthsl, has yielded So
per ton from a sample OF 81 tons.
The SteIa Winder owned by MeSsrs,
Chas. Bussey and L. 5. Scott, a large
well-deiined vein, Is rich in the pre-.

has turned out 20 tons of ore, % o
which assorted, yielded So per ton.
THE ROYAL FLUSH,
A late discovery, bids fair to eclipse
the besg. Samples worked by moran
and pan show results as high as ST.
600. This is a small vein owned by
Messrs. Axle and Delmater. These
mines are nearly all contact veins III
