'e Old Camps.
= Scarcely six months have elapsed sine
70 Dry Canyon was nearly deserted, ant
. the mines were generally conceded to b
% "worked out" With the advance il
II lead miners were induced to take holt
. of the old mines under lease, ant
e many new prospects were opened. A
the present time the mines are producing
e large quantities of ore, and bonanzas are
being opened that bid fair to rival those
! encountered in the old Hidden Treasure
4 Queen of the Hills and Chicago mines in
$ the early days of Dry Canyon The prin.
cipal mine of this class is
THE DAN STANTON MINE,
Which has produced in the neighborhood
| of 1000 tons this summer. From mere
. prospect last spring it was developed into
! an immense deposit of ore by the original
owners-Dan Stanton and the Davis
brothers-who, after disposing of large
amount of ore in the Salt Lake market
sold their mine less than month ago to
the st. Louis Consolidated Mining Com
pany. This company is represented by
Messrs. Black and Quimbey, formerly
operating in mines in Colorado and Mex
leo, who. being mining operators of vast
experience, know good thing when
they see it. During the past eighteen
days they have shipped 24O tons of ore
from their mine, that amount being taken
out almost entirely by four men. The
mine has been opened to about rs feet in
depth and shows body of ore from four
to fifteen feet in thickness. This ore is
A LOw-GRADE SILVER AND LEAD ORE,
But is a very desirable smelling ore. The
! company has recently built large board
ing house, and will erect sheds over their
different works as soon as the building
material arrives. Thirteen teams are
employed daily in hauling ore to the
| terminus OF the Utah & Nevada Railroad
via the old Gibbon toll-road through Dry
| Canyon. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to build chute about 600 feet long
from the tunnel below the present works
to connect with the Grey Rock road this
fall, and the ore will be hauled down
Ophir canyon to the terminus during the
coming winter. If the mine will justify
the outlay,
HALLIDAY WIRE TRAMWAY
will be placed from this mine to Ophir
City next spring. This company owns.
in conjunction with the Dan Stanton. the |
Grey Rock, Buck Horn, Antelope and |
several other mines in the vicinity. The |
Buck Horn is producing considerable
good ore, and is, on account of it's better
grade in silver, more promising mine
than the Dan Stanton. Operations will
soon be in order on the other mines
owned by this company, and some fine
developments may be expected this win
ter. - '---' wa
Near the group of mines owned by this
company, and within a short distance of
tn Stanton mine, is the Monument.
This is the property of the Bambereer
brothers, and it is the intention of the 7
owners to commence operations on the
Monument within few days. There are
several tine showings of ore along the
vein and there is no doubt in regard to
us proving big mine with judicious de-
velopment. y.
