ore; two-thirds OF the ore is at least
the better suited for reduction IN the
smelling furnaces.
The mines ia the north part OF the
district can easily be made to supply
several hundred tons and more oil
good smelling ore per day.
do not hesitate in declaring here
efnphatically that Star, North Star
pnd Rocky Mining districts are very
good and valuable districts, worthy
the attention OF both miner and CAPT
talist.
The principal mines of Star Min
ing district are: Merrimsc, Flora,
Hickory, Taylor. Mare, Harrington,
Boston Hoosier Boy, Uranus, Ele-
plant, Oneida, Day Dawn, Victory
and St. Mary.
The leading mines in North Star
Mining district are: Hickory. Merri-
mac, Shenandoah, Temperance.
Flora, Cortez. Osceols, Rebel, Tails
man, Harrington, Midas, StalWart
ana Esmeralda.
MINING DISTRICTS OF BEAVER AND GAR
FIELD COUNTIES.
Beaver county contains. in sddi-
TO the Star, Rocky apd other districts
eas.erly of the same, Bradshaw. Lin
coin. Galena. Gordon, Granite, Preuss,
Beaver, Ohio and Warsaw Mining dis
:ricts. The pesrest principal bust
ness places to this district are Milford
and Beaver city on and near the line
of the Utah Central railroad. The
veins or lodes in those districts are
from two to six feet wide, carrying
from 40 to 81 per cent. lead and from
20 to $50 ounces of silver per ton.
There are also other lodss which
carry from 10 to 81 per cent. copper
(mostly SO oxides and carbOnates and
some copper glance) and come silver
and gold. Most OF these lOdes lie st
and along the surface for consider
abba distance. Near by Beaver Lake
district immense deposits of sulphur
cts and oxides average over 40 per
cent. of the pure metal. Copper stain
is frequently visible on the hillsides
and there is not the least doubt bat
some sections of Beaver county in ell
probability contain many more val
liable lodes and mineral deposits and
they will surely be found il proper
search is made aDd the numerous IN
dications followed up as they should
be. Some part OF Beaver county will
surely become in time very import.
ant for copper smelling and also for
the reduction OF sntimoDy and bis
muth ores. Twelve miles west of
Beaver city several veins Of bisnuth
ore have been found. Tbeee lie near
together in a magnetism limestone CT
sllurian age, and vary from one 10
nine feet in thickness. The gaDgue
is OF seTpentinous character, and
carries lime gsrnets, oxides Of iron,
tire Iol;te and other minerals. The
ore, sulphide and oxide, free from
arsenic and antiDo y, varies from
one TO six per cent. OF the total vein
matter, but it is easily concentrated.
In the concentrated product. which
gave 80 per cent. OF bismuth, molyb-
1enum was found, which in view of
the high price of that metal and its
general use, may prove an important
discovery. Several shafts sunk upon
these properties show strong and we'll
defined veins. and on account Of the
nIgh price Of bismuth, and the rarity
ot It's being found thus free from ar
enc and antimony, fact that has
been amply proved, they bid fair to
become Of very much value. In this
same county OF Beaver are veins Of
graphite and deposits OF sulphur,
which will, at no distant day, be util-
zed to their full extent. Indeed, few
places offer such inducements 10
capital or have snch good prospects OF
\ golden future in our fair Utah as
10 these Beaver and Garfield County,
)r more correctly as the mining dis
.ricts of these counties. About eieh-
zen to twenty miles southeast of
Warsaw mining district commences
artimony mining district, extending
.Wenty-one mi!es east eld twenty
miles south and situated in Garfield,
ormerly Iron county. Utah.
THE PRINCIPAL MINES.
The leading mines are: In Brad
shaw Mining district. the Cave, Hoo.
loo, Cypress. Sherman, Triangle,
Governor and Summit mines.
The Cave mine is extensively de-
Veloped. The main tunnel starts on
the west side CT the mountain, at
distance OF 700 feet; 500 ieet beyond
tie old works a stained kind OF wall
was struck which wss followed south
ward for 2O0 feet where ore was
struck. The average value CT the ore
is so per cent. of lead. 26 ounces of
silver and trace to $40 in gold; the
ore contains about 26 per cent. of
iron, making it very desirable ore
Tor the sEelters. TIE formation or
country rock is blue lime and quartz
tie.
