THE LEADING MINES IN O2HIR.
Hidden Treasure: the ore occurs in
large bodies; thirty tons per day ia
the general 6aily average produced
by a working force Of seventy five
men, from the mine leads tran way
1900 feet long down the hill to the
wagon road. The mine is exten
siVely developed to a depth OF more
thsn 1 400 feet on the dip of the vein.
TIE Chicago works on the same
ore body as the Hidden Treasure, is
largely developed and has produced
in past years large quantities OF ex-
cellent ore,
Each Of the aforesaid miues has &
smelter, the Waterman and the
Chi ago, situated nine miles distant
on Rush Lake to work their ores.
The Mono is developed by sn in
cline from which runs an east and
west branch incline to o depth of
over 800 feet; this mine has produced
very rich ore in the past and is val
liable property.
The Queen of the Hills. developed
by an incline to a depth oil over 1,SO0
feet, apd by thousands Of feet in
drifting east and west on the vein.
The Kesrsarge. owned by Sam
Conner d Co.; vein two to five feet
wide, developed to depth of 900 feet
and on the strike by over 1900 feet
OF drift and level. Vein dips at an
angle of inclination of 25 degrees
from the horizontal; character of the
ore ia chloride Of silver, tellurium and
bornsilver, assaying from $50 to up
in the thousands per ton.

WEST MOUNTAIN MINING DISTRICT.
Last, but not leas', comes the So
called Old Reliable or West Noun
tain mining district. This district
commences about twenty two miles
southwest of Salt Lake City, and is
situated on the eastern slope OF the
Oquirrh range.
The principal geological structure
of this district is qnsrlzi!e or vitreous
sandstone, and dolomite, or magne-
sian limestone. The quarizite ap-
pears in beds oi great dimensions
with them seams or bands OF shale
which separate the strata at intervals |
